Joining us from Solana Beach on California's Pacific coast, in this episode of In The Metal Johnny and Dan are joined by the wonderful Tim Jackson, who for the last twenty years and more has championed the cause of the artisanal independent watchmakers, patiently nurturing an awareness for them and their masterpieces to a new audience on the west coast of the United States.

Together with his wife and business partner Janna, Tim was one of the first retailers to recognise the historic significance of these incredible creators of mechanical horologic art, and while there are certainly easier ways of doing business in the watch world than working with the eclectic personalities and their weird and wonderful timepieces, he has established a reputation for service and expertise in our field which travels from coast to coast.

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.

For a truly fascinating insight  into the extraordinary world of independent watchmaking, and the people whose profound invention and creativity bring it all to life, then make sure you are signed up and subscribed to In The Metal in podcast format, and of course over on our YouTube channel too, where we illustrate each episode with full screen images.
