IN 1996 I moved to Le Locle, leaving a great job at the BBC, everything and everyone I knew… Thinking I’d only be here for a few years… Youth, a sense of adventure and possibly one glass of wine too many… I embarked upon a journey that lead me to co-found and develop a luxury watch brand (Speake - Marin), We developed an in-house watch movement that would be named after me (Marin 1) and then I walked away from that partnership. Later through the moment that I considered was the hardest in my life ( how naive I was) came my greatest idea… The answer to a simple but desperate question…
“What the hell do I do next…?”
The Naked Watchmaker was born…
