This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazand and Kat Shouldes talk with Jérôme Burgert and Gabriel Vachette, the co-founders of Serica. The French indie watch brand is celebrating a five year anniversary, and they’ve just released the Parade, easily their most ambitious watch to date. The ultra refined dress watch is, on the surface, a fairly dramatic departure from the brand’s elegant but sporty tool watches. But once you start digging into the details and hear the story behind the watch, you begin to realize that it’s actually squarely in the Serica wheelhouse after all. In this conversation, Jérôme and Gabriel speak frankly about the design process and the challenges they faced bringing the Parade to life, and discuss why watches like this appeal to them in the first place.
