About this episode

Support The Deep Track

This week we’re thrilled to welcome friend George Bamford to the podcast. George has been a mainstay in the industry for over 20 years, known for his unique approach to watch customization and more recently, his own watches from Bamford London. He is also a serious watch nerd and collector. In this episode, we discuss the origins of Bamford Watch Department, how his motivations have evolved over the decades, how he finds inspiration, and how his own collecting and enthusiasm has taken shape.
