George Bamford, Buying Timepieces On Cruises, And The Naked Watchmaker On Recent SUPERLATIVE Podcasts
First of all, thank you to all the new SUPERLATIVE podcast listeners. We love the feedback and have a lot of shows and guests planned for the future. Since I last wrote about the latest SUPERLATIVE shows, we have published about six new episodes - so there is, potentially, a lot to catch up on. I’ve also been a guest on some podcasts, myself, and look forward to more conversations with the community.Over the last few episodes, the biggest name we’ve had on SUPERLATIVE is Mr. George Bamford, who founded Bamford Watch Department and began his watch career modifying Rolex watches. Next, I chat with Peter Speake, who moved from designer to watchmaker. He is among the more accomplished living watchmakers today, having both created his own movements and brand. Today, he is “The Naked Watchmaker.”

But let’s get back to the “phenakistoscope” part of the name. The hell is that you ask? Well this was part of early animation. You’d take some type of cylinder or ring, and place images on it that if seen in a quickly moving sequence, would appear to the eye to move. Please be aware that unless this watch is operating terribly wrong, the disc with the sequential images will not move fast enough for you to see the animation. Rather, it is a wrist watch style homage of these early forms of animated entertainment.The disk moves around the dial once each 12 hours – slowest animation ever! The watches are each 40mm wide in steel “time gallery” style Angular M
