With his watch company @Vanguartwatches⁠, Jeremy makes perhaps the most interesting tourbillon wristwatch on the market (BlackHole Tourbillon), capable not only of displaying time in a unique way, but also giving the owner the option of making the time run forwards or backwards!

With his other company (timeforge.ch), Jeremy is a consultant in watch movement design and mechanical optimisation, helping other watchmaking companies design, optimise and improve their mechanism. Join us for a wide-ranging conversation, which encompasses everything from Jeremy’s early days working at AP Renaud i Papi, horological gearing standards; tourbillons; Guilloche and astronomical complications. We also talk about the Open Movement project Jeremy has been involved with; as well as the mechanical genius of Dr Ludwig Oeschlin.
