Worn & Wound Podcast Network
About this episode

In this bonus episode of the Worn & Wound podcast, we're joined by Festina Soprod's Movements R&D Manager and Senior Watchmaker, Christian Châtelain. Worn & Wound cofounder Zach Weiss and Media Manager Devin Pennypacker dig into the history of Soprod, what led them into mechanical watchmaking, and how the Mechanical Division grew into making their own, original movements. They talk about Soprod's in-house innovations, the engineering challenges that keep watchmakers up at night, golf counter complications, and more.

Go behind-the-scenes and learn what it's like to tackle some of the unique issues that arise when designing and building specialized, yet attractive modern-day movements.
