Independent Thinking - Nicholas Bowman-Scargill (@fearswatches) - celebrating 175 years of Fears Watch Company

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology. Hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Sean (@thebookwatcher) chat with Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, the managing director of Fears Watch Company (@fearswatches). Join us for a passionate and honest conversation about the history and future of Fears Watch Company. 2021 marks an important year for Fears -  175th anniversary of the company; and Nicholas will discuss the new watch (The “Archival 1930”) and book releases to celebrate this important milestone. We also talk about the importance of integrity; customer service; passion and drive which underpins everything Nicholas is doing at Fears (a company directly linked to 6 (six!) generations of his own family). We also talk about Nicholas’ entry into the world of watches, and reminisce about his time working at Rolex in London. Special shout-out in this episode to Dave Brailsford from Garrick Watches @garrickwatchco. I am sure once you will love this episode.
