I have watched all the Dufour interviews available on youtube, and Tim has done a fantastic job. You create a platform and patiently listen, yet all your questions are guiding the dialogue in a great direction. Thank you so much, pure pleasure.

    Wonderful show Tim, love to see programs that take a really deep dive into watchmaking by talking to the masters on a personal level. All too often youtube consists fan boys of a brand droning on about what their chosen brand should do or what the market will do as an investment. I'd much rather see someone talk about watchmaking. The European channels tend to be better at getting close to the essence of this. Thank you for your efforts in bringing this sort of thing to us this is great work ( and a good way to spend Sunday morning).
