Scottish Watches Podcast #728 : When A Watch Enthusiast Goes To Switzerland

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast, Episode 728! We’re joined by our good friend Mark Wheeler, writer, collector, and long-time Christopher Ward whisperer, who takes us through his recent travels from Zurich to Biel/Bienne, including a rare, full VIP tour inside Omega’s headquarters. From witnessing the automated stock system and the pressure-chamber secrets behind the Ultra Deep, to seeing centre tourbillon movements up close and learning why your iPad covers are magnetism’s silent villains, Mark pulls back the curtain on details most of us never get to witness. We also get into his favourites from Omega and Christopher Ward, the quirks of Spirate regulation, museum highlights, eye-opening visits to Chronoswiss, and even the moment his non-watch-collecting wife finally found a watch she loved.
