Thank you, O'

All right, it's bonus episode time.

I'm your host Stephen Polverin, and this is Hodinck Radio.

So just last week, a few members of team Hodinke found themselves driving along the winding scenic roads of the Vala de jou.

This is real watchmaking country and it has been for centuries. When you think of someone

toiling away in front of a window looking out of a rolling green hills with their

loop over their eye and a mechanical marvel in front of them, you're thinking of

this place and more specifically you're thinking of this place. And more specifically, you're

probably thinking of someone like master watchmaker, Philippe Dufor. Dufor is

definitely in contention for the title of Greatest Living Watchmaker, and he creates nearly every component of his watches himself all under the roof of a single workshop.

Our editor-in-chief Jack Forrester had the rare opportunity to sit down with Philippe in his workshop to talk about what it takes to make a watch the old-fashioned way, the future of fine watchmaking, and what Brands Philippe thinks are doing it right.

So, without further ado, here are Jack and Living Watchmaking Legend. it's It's kind of amazing to be here just because I've seen your work obviously many times.

I've seen a lot of pictures of this place.

Yes. But I've never had a chance to actually come here and visit you at home.

So you're you're welcome. And I think the last time I saw you was last

November at Grand Prix-O-Lagerie de Genive. Exactly yeah yeah yeah how do you
