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.
