R&R - Watchmaking in Cambodia
Rob & The Regulator are joined by Anthony, the rarest of all the McGonigle brothers. We talk about his move to Cambodia's first independent watch making school, Prince Horology. Anthony shares the exciting challenges of teaching watchmaking students in a country with very little watchmaking history. We find out how the school came to be and how it is one of the best equiped watchmaking schools in the world and more importantly a school run by enthusiasts. He also talks about how he has fallen in love with the people and culture of Cambodia. Be sure to check out their website and facebook page. for more information on this amazing project.

AT - Swatch Group versus Vortic Watches
Michael is joined by Adam to chat with RT Custer from Vortic Watches. Adam was well prepared for this conversation so I mostly sat back and enjoyed he and RT discuss the making of these timepieces that contain very high quality movements produced during a time when the United States were a watchmaking powerhouse.
