Today we discuss "restomodding" -- the art of creating working watches using both vintage and modern parts. So, for all the folks with grandpa's old watch sitting unused in a drawer, this episode is for you!
I'm joined by modder David from secondhandmods.com, and Brigham, a fellow modder from the BSH (iykyk).
This episode was born from discussions around my Vintage Linen Dial mod, which was an unexpected hit. You can see modded watch here.
Brigham also discusses his experience modding outside the world Seiko, which is quite rare! Thanks for educating us Brigham!

In our discussion, we chat with Alex about his collecting philosophy, how we decided to concentrate on pocket watches, the importance of escapements and mechanical ingenuity, and how his collection was assembled and prepared for the HSNY exhibition.
If you are a fan of horological scholarship - you will enjoy this.
