Episode description
Enter The Vintage Hen-House, pick a perch, and listen to Benoît (@Petitesecondes) and his co-hosts chat to vintage watch collectors from all over the world about their collection, the vintage watch world, and many other things. Let's talk about the good, the bad and the ugly stories that we can all share about collecting vintage watches!
Host: Benoît @Petitesecondes
Co-host: Roman @timesromanau
Guest: Jonathan @jjhughes1969
Today in the Vintage HenHouse, Jonathan walks us through his love of british watchmaking, and especially the military issued watches from the Cabot Watch Company, also known as CWC. He has even created a website to help share knowledge about this brand: cwcaddict.com. From the story of its founder Ray Mellor, through vintage quartz divers from the 1990s and to wearing a Roger Smith watch as a daily beater, it's a pleasure for Roman and I to chat with Jonathan!
