Episode Description

Welcome to a very special edition of the Scottish Watches Podcast, where we dive deep into everything surrounding British Watchmakers Day 2026. It’s a full A-to-Z breakdown of 26 exclusive limited editions launching at the event, alongside the story of how British watchmaking has moved from historic dominance, through collapse, and into a remarkable modern resurgence.

Joining us is Alistair Audsley, CEO of the Alliance of British Watch and Clockmakers, the driving force behind British Watchmakers Day and one of the key architects behind the sector’s renewed cohesion and growth. Beyond the watches themselves, we explore the bigger picture. The latest sector data reveals 65% growth in three years, an 18% compound annual growth rate, and more than 1,600 people now employed directly or indirectly within British watchmaking.

What was once described as a “rumour of a sector” is now a measurable, expanding creative industry with international attention.
