How to Keep Your Watch Running for Decades? - Dr Rebecca Struthers

[@santrade10]

Wow this is really fascinating. What a guest to have on the show!

[@spektrograf]

What a treat to hear an interview of Rebecca Struthers! Thank you for getting her on the show! 🙏 Wonderful interview, and a follow-up down the road would be fantastic! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Supercruze]

Terrific interview. I was not aware of Rebecca and her husband and their incredible watch work until this production. Thank you Richard for sharing.

[@tedblack2415]

Truly one of the most interesting interviews iv'e seen for a quite some time , what a fascinating young lady .

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

❤What a wonderful interview. Dr. Rebecca Struthers seems like a wonderful person with infinite knowledge about the inner workings of watches. With regards to movements being displayed or not my answer is that if the movement is worthy of display it should be displayed, when I see a basic completely un decorated movement on display it detracts from the watch. ❤

Excellent Dr Rebecca is someone you'd want service your watch

[@RossetBespokeButlers]

I am such a fan of Dr Struthers she is a true watch superstar!

One correction from the interviewer, Rolex used display case backs in their Cellini Prince watches [four models in gold, ref. 5440/41/42 & 43] in 2005 through 2015. These Art Deco watches used a beautiful COSC certified manual wind, and decorated movement, caliber 7040. This shaped mechanism is fitted with innovations such as a Breguet overcoil, Microstella nuts in gold, and Paraflex shock absorbers. These features make the Caliber 7040 amagnetic and both shock and temperature resistant.

What an incredibly talented and intelligent person.

[@tubezaspiak]

The best KZbin post for watch lovers ever! Thank you. Dr. Struthers is simply remarkable.

[@Dr.Sheffield]

Thanks for interviewing star and thanks for her great informative and interesting talk wishing her all the best ✌️

[@edwardblack7133]

Fantastic to listen and be inspired. I am an expat Englishman abroad and it’s a source of pride to wear my UK connected watches. Shout out James Lamb a case maker and watch maker. I hope I can save up and one day commission a Struthers watch ❤

[@michaelgallon9431]

This was fantastic, and Rebecca is just a breath of fresh air, I wish my wife was even interested in watches never mind passionate about them. Cant wait to read her book. Book ordered.

[@jayv9619]

This woman is a Saint!!!!

[@DoubleD42]

The very first 20secs of this is pure gold 👌 Everything i buy gets held to that standard, class.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

I would have asked her take on Silcon hairsprings

[@edgeyt1]

Just ordered her book, arriving tomorrow - can't wait.

[@yleexot]

Awesome. Thank you both!

[@btmontres1423]

A great subject and interview. Have always wanted to delve more into what some of the interesting artist watchmakers are doing, what they think about, and the future of the craft. Great insight and immense appreciation for this story. Much thanks and bravo to Ms. Struthers!

[@NaNByZero]

Ordered her book immediately. Looking forward to holding it in hands next week. 🕐🍸🍸

[@righton1]

That was a lovely interview. Can’t wait to get ahold of that book here in Canada when I can.

[@anthonystevens8683]

What a superb discussion Richard and Rebecca. Wonderfully open and informative and I take my hat off to you both. It's great to hear about the watchmakers café. I now have a new book to purchase as well that I'm sure will irritate people I know when I start to talk about it. Yes this has happened before. Many thanks for sharing, much appreciated. EDIT: Book has just been purchased.

[@jameshoward9700]

Excellent interview. I wish Dr Struthers and her husband all the best in their endeavours. A British Habring2 (albeit at a higher level) - it would be great if British watchmaking could return to at least a semblance of its illustrious past. Off to buy a book now..!

[@VicharB]

Great subject and awesome interview and information, she is truly cool. :)

[@DoubleD42]

I wish I could go into watchmaking. I started learning a year ago as a hobby, absolutely love it. My friend is a jeweler, who has a drawer full of broken watches, that I attempt to repair 😂 Ive repaired two though, which I wear now.

[@jpcwc1323]

Brilliant interview! WOW!!

[@JasonCohenphoto]

What a great interview!

[@edgeyt1]

Great stuff.

[@frank327]

V impressive woman, brilliant explanation of the attraction of mechanical watches

[@choond]

Great interesting interview.

[@cedarcanoe]

I wonder how Rebecca looks at the other couple in watchmaking (Maria and Richard Habring). They also produce their own movements.

[@watchenthusiastlondon]

Bravo 👏

[@ueyiet]

Thanks for the content. You'll hear from me

[@phmwu7368]

My 1994 Omega Speedmaster (25 years Apollo 11) ran as a daily beater from July 1994 to June 2016, that was almost 22 years before it needed a service !!! #MoonwatchUniverse

[@structurescience]

Excellent!

[@richardcosens4387]

A nice but interesting asmr type chat.

[@antonioraffa123]

Brilliant!

[@kojiattwood]

Rolex had a display caseback (and a nicely finished one) with the Cellini Prince; sadly no one has ever been interested in it.

[@ElderPinto254]

i am busy becoming a watchmaker and its not easy in Holland its a struggle... thinking to do education somewhere else in the world to do a good education Holland just dont have it !!

[@Rog5446]

G. Daniels, R. Smith, R. Struthers, Can it get any better?

[@67NewEngland]

- I never heard him answer which Seiko… 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@bullnose01]

Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏

[@danigomb]

how? well, regularly change batteries

[@jhatgotagat300]

Okay let’s think about this. First you find a amazing watch maker willing to make you the 1/1 watch you’ve wanted 2. She’s no hack the husband wife duo are killer watch makers 3, they fucking ask you if we could name a line of watches after you and oh ya it’s the watch you ordered we are going to be making. I think I’d break down crying then promptly offer them all the money I had for this privilege.

[@jamalkherry5296]

I can't agree with servicing a modern watch. Vintage high horology pieces I understand semi regular services as keeping all original movement components is valuable at least in ones own mind if not monitarily. However it's part of the cost of the service to repair any worn down parts. I encourage people to wear a mechanical watch till it stops running or keeping good time then see your watchmaker. It's not like a vintage car. If you vintage car breaks down you're stuck somewhere. If your watch breaks down you still have your phone in your pocket and clocks everywhere. Unless you have a professional requirement for the watch. You're not saving money in the long run you're burning it.

[@bikeman123]

Servicing? The biggest risk to your watch is when it is dismantled into a 100 pieces. A watch will let you know when it needs servicing by keeping poor time.

[@gopalashetty3592]

British English accent sounds better than American English accent

[@futpot3897]

Had to show off the guns eh

[@TRUYORK718]

You dont.

[@anibaluriarte3676]

you ruined that PhD with that tatoo on the forearm which relates that you are without peace of mind.
