please allow us to introduce…

…the fascinating world of independent watchmaking, up close and in person, behind the scenes, live and unplugged with the people who make it real.

A series of informal conversations about life, watches, tools and machines, techniques and who knows what else, with the inventors and innovators, the pioneers and parameter pushers who perpetuate the true spirit of traditional hand crafted independent watchmaking.

An (almost) weekly happening which commenced in April 2020, hosted by indie watchmaking specialist Johnny McElherron in Ireland, with Jayesh Kumar in Brooklyn, New York and multiple Grammy-nominated hard rock legend and present day master of complications Dan Spitz, each episode of In The Metal goes out live on Facebook and YouTube, or you can catch up anytime on our YouTube channel, where you’ll find a complete archive of all of our interviews and conversations with some of the most prodigiously talented independent watchmakers of our time.

Expect to learn about hardcore metal cutting machines, and to hear unique stories from the real people whose passion keeps independent watchmaking’s precise little heart ticking ever-stronger.

Some you might know and others you may not, so start your own voyage of discovery now by delving in and getting to know the people behind the history that’s being hand manufactured right now.
