Nice to see a small scale renaissance in British watch making.
Mostly appears to be restoration work tbh. I don't think there is an entirely British made watch sadly at the moment.
It would be nice to see some one in clerkenwell start up..it has an illustrious watch making history that dates back centuries...there was a pocket watch case maker around who's family had been doing it for several generations but i suspect he's gone now, watch making was considered about 12 seperate trades at one stage when they were hand made.
