In The Metal - Episode 45 - Cyril Brivet-Naudot talks to Dan Spitz and Johnny McElherron - 24/6/21

In this episode of In The Metal, Johnny and Dan welcome one of independent watchmaking's exceptional young talents, when Cyril Brivet-Naudot joins us from his atelier in the rustic setting of rural Brittany, in the north-western tip of France. An uncompromising traditionalist, Cyril is a true purist, whose inspiration is the genius and innovation of the master watchmakers of centuries past, who had to work without so much as the luxury of electricity, never mind the CAD and CNC software which today eliminate errors before a wheel or a pinion is even cut. If Cyril’s beautiful wristwatches look like they have come from another time, well, that is because in many ways they have, as each individual piece is quite literally crafted by hand, using the same time honoured techniques and antique hand held tools as his own ancestors before him. A conversation with this man is a journey into another world and another time, and we will examine his latest masterpiece, the Eccentricity Réserve de Marche, with full screen visuals and discover how he created it. *************************** If you're not yet familiar, In The Metal is the inside scoop on the very best of independent watchmaking, and is brought to you each week 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, Dan Spitz. Each week we take an informal, behind the scenes look at the fascinating world of independent watchmaking, and take you on a journey beyond the façade and into the lesser-seen and secretive corners of the watchmaker's atelier, where we are joined live and direct by the very finest artisans and masters of this centuries-old art form, where a true and traditional heart continues to beat.
