Join the CP7 Boys as we step into the resurgent world of British horology with none other than Katya and Alistair Audsley, the PR & Memberships Manager and the CEO, respectively, of The British Watch & Clock Makers Alliance. Get the behind-the-scenes scoop as we share an insider's account on the phenomenal British Watchmakers' Day, which was in its second year, from the two people who made it all possible.

Meet Katya and Alistair as they share with us the passion, purpose, and responsibility they have in driving the very welcome rejuvenation of British watchmaking to the next level. Get their insights into the Alliance’s mission to be a celebration of the people and timepieces shaping the future of British horology. We also discover how British Watchmakers' Day has become a true family affair, and why continual evolution—for both organisers and brands—demands raising the bar, and upping their game, with each passing year. In a really fascinating show hear what it takes to deliver the simple concept and idea of this British watch show into a real-life resounding homegrown success.

Of course, we talk about future plans for the show and what we can all do to make it even more special next year, which can't be done without some reflections on the previous two shows. We also discover how the event is now attracting visitors from all around the world, but most importantly, can we talk Andy into leaving the sun-soaked climbs of Barcelona and attend next year? Listen in and find out.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we lift the lid on what it takes to run the British Watch & Clock Makers Alliance and pull off that amazing British Watchmakers' Day event.

What is a geezer watch?

The watch a garish, flashy and smooth-talking cockney “Jack The Lad” from Old London Town would wear? Or the watch for a well-heeled silver fox man of a certain age with style, wisdom and a hankering for watches from the precious-metal and slightly outlandish design obsessed decades, the 1970s and 1980s?

Join us as we talk about our favourite “Geezer” watches from Rolex, Omega, Piaget, Patek Philippe and many more. Find out if our choices are more suited to disco dancing, Saturday Night Fever’s Tony Manero? Or the classy and cool former chairman of Fiat, Gianni Agnelli.

So buckle up and enjoy this two tone and solid gold ride as we talk about our favourite Geezer Watches… CP7 Style!
