In this episode of In The Metal Johnny and Dan are joined by young Dutch indie watchmaker Stefan Ketelaars, for a chat about life at the bench, and how a new generation of talent is pushing through as independent watchmaking becomes ever more popular and accessible.

Stefan's specialty is in creating hand crafted watches which combine traditional values and aesthetics with a thoroughly contemporary twist, featuring spectacular 3D displays and cool, toned-down finishing, which makes each piece a unique work of artisanal watchmaking.

In The Metal is your inside scoop on the very best of independent watchmaking, which is brought to you by @irishwatchguy Johnny McElherron of The Watch Press and the legend who is the former lead guitarist with thrash metal icons Anthrax, and now present day Master of Complications and the vanguard for US independent watchmaking, Mr Dan Spitz.

Each week we're bringing indie watchmaking into the spotlight, and as well as talking to the greatest names of our time, we're hell-bent on introducing the emerging prodigies, in whose capable hands the future of this centuries-old craft is assured.
