For watch enthusiasts at the beginning of their journey, the idea of high horology with a British accent may seem surprising. I recently discovered a husband-wife watchmaking team based in Birmingham, England, named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strutherswatchmakers.co.uk\/\">Struthers Watchmakers<\/a>. <strong>Rebecca Struthers<\/strong>, who happens to hold a Ph.D. in horology, was gracious enough to grant me an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Struthers Watchmakers, whose expertise is founded on vintage and antique watch restoration, has a bespoke watch service and are actually developing their very own in-house movement. The Struthers Watchmakers lineup currently includes some exquisite timepieces powered by recommissioned vintage movements.<\/p>\n<p>Regular readers will know all about my passion for vintage heavy metal\u2014particularly early British heavy metal. Birmingham, England is the birthplace of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. So I HAD to put this interview together- watchmakers from Birmingham! Add in a comment on my other passion, Formula 1, and you get a terrific read. In TimeCaptain tradition, and in honour of Struthers Watchmakers own craft and tradition, my entire portion of this interview has been written in fountain pen prior to being typed\u2026 and with a pretty good soundtrack. Enjoy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"http:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-struthers-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"Craig Struthers at work\" class=\"wp-image-13889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-struthers-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-struthers-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-struthers-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-struthers.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Craig Struthers at work<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>TC:<\/strong> I think I will have to visit Birmingham one day. It gave birth to British heavy metal and Judas Priest, and is now home to high horology! What can you tell us about the watch culture in Birmingham?<\/p>\n<p><strong>RS:<\/strong> Don\u2019t forget Black Sabbath! I grew up not far from Aston where the band formed. Birmingham has an amazing music scene, by the time I started going out it was the electro and drum and bass era. I grew up around all kinds of music and have many happy memories of getting stuck to the floor in basements of smoky pubs or old warehouses around the city.<\/p>\n<p>In watchmaking terms, the city suffered along with much of the UK\u2019s manufacturing industries. Birmingham used to be home to the most prolific watch case manufacture of the day, anywhere in the world, founded by the American entrepreneur Aaron Lufkin Dennison. That factory ran for just over a hundred years \u2013 closing in 1967.<\/p>\n<p>Craig and I managed to track down the site under what\u2019s now a National Health carpark. We\u2019re still a bit behind London in terms of attracting collectors but that\u2019s changing. The building of a high-speed rail line between the cities is attracting a whole new kind of market.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"http:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-The-Kingsley-D-F-Edition_3-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-The-Kingsley-D-F-Edition_3-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-The-Kingsley-D-F-Edition_3-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-The-Kingsley-D-F-Edition_3-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-The-Kingsley-D-F-Edition_3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Struthers The Kingsley D&amp;F Special Edition, 38mm, vitreous enamel dial, 18ct white gold<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>TC:<\/strong> As the father of a 9-year-old girl, I am always excited to see great achievements by women, especially in watchmaking. What can the watch world, and hobby, do to be more inclusive for women?<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>RS:<\/strong> There are so many more women in the industry now compared to when I started out and I think that is important. People don\u2019t tend to see themselves in jobs they can\u2019t see anyone like themselves in. That said, we\u2019re still very low on female master watchmakers, most women in workshops and manufactories tend to get stuck on the more repetitive production line and servicing work.<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>TC:<\/strong> I had no idea that one could pursue a Ph.D. in horology. What areas of watchmaking could one study and develop to follow this path?<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>RS:<\/strong> Technically, a Ph.D. can be in any subject providing you have a solid research question and have identified an area you can contribute to knowledge in. Mine was in the early development of mass watch production and the democratisation of time. I\u2019m still the only watchmaker in the UK with a Ph.D. in the field but in Switzerland, they\u2019re more common, usually in engineering subjects like movement design, nanotechnology, or materials science.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"http:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Project-248-Struthers-first-in-house-mvmnt-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Project-248-Struthers-first-in-house-mvmnt-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Project-248-Struthers-first-in-house-mvmnt-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Project-248-Struthers-first-in-house-mvmnt-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Project-248-Struthers-first-in-house-mvmnt.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Project 248 \u2013 Struthers first in-house movement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>TC:<\/strong> Bespoke watchmaking is a rare and fascinating aspect of horology. What are some of the more interesting requests you have received? What are your favourite type of requests?<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>RS:<\/strong> We keep hold of the reins slightly with bespoke work, we\u2019d never make something that didn\u2019t fit in with our design values, but we love the process of building up new ideas with a client. Anything that makes the watch incredibly subtly personal to the client I love \u2013 particularly hidden messages. I trained as a restorer so I know many antique watches have hidden messages and names of one type or another in them. I love finding them, so it\u2019s something I really like incorporating in our watches for another maker to find in years to come.<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>TC:<\/strong> The interest in mechanical watches has surged globally even as the world goes digital. How can your art and craft thrive as everything seems to be about streaming, downloading and quick clicks?<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>RS:<\/strong> In the UK there has been a bit of a backlash against digitalisation, not one that would ever change the course of progress, but one that seems to be creating space for craft as a form of escapism. Whether that\u2019s people taking up knitting or woodwork, or collecting crafted things, analogue objects in a digital world seem to be taking on a whole new significance. I\u2019m hoping that\u2019s something that will continue and grow. Spending all day in front of a phone or computer isn\u2019t good for anyone and craft of all kinds is such a pleasure to participate in and own.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"http:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Craig-Rebecca-Struthers-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Craig-Rebecca-Struthers-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Craig-Rebecca-Struthers-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Craig-Rebecca-Struthers-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Craig-Rebecca-Struthers-1536x1228.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Craig-Rebecca-Struthers.jpg 1692w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Craig and Rebecca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>TC:<\/strong> How early in life did you become interested in watches?<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>RS:<\/strong> I discovered watchmaking by accident while I was training as a jeweller and silversmith at 17. Before that, my earliest watch memory was being incredibly jealous of my friend\u2019s Casio G-Shock at secondary school \u2013 but I couldn\u2019t afford one. Watches weren\u2019t very present in my childhood but I did love making things and dismantling redundant technology (like VCRs!). I\u2019ve always been happiest when I\u2019m using my hands.<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>TC:<\/strong> Which timepiece(s) do you enjoy wearing on your own wrist?<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>RS:<\/strong> Oh my, I have a few! My watches are really varied. Everyday workshop attire needs to be pretty robust and something I won\u2019t get upset about scratching, so Casio and Swatch are my go-to\u2019s. When I sold my first book proposal, I must admit, I went for the classic milestone Rolex purchase which is a vintage Air King. We also have a collection of unusual early water-resistant and automatic wristwatches. The majority are random names that would be unfamiliar to most but there are some interesting designs. Not all are particularly successful, which is why they didn\u2019t catch on, but that can make them even more interesting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"http:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-work-by-hand-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-work-by-hand-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-work-by-hand-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-work-by-hand-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-work-by-hand.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>TC:<\/strong> How would a bespoke watch differ from a similarly priced, but mass-produced, luxury watch?<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>RS:<\/strong> That would completely depend on the watch brand in question and what they\u2019re offering. A handmade\/finished watch compared to a mass-produced one feels different. The angles are all slightly softer. Machines can achieve finishes like anglage (the polished decorative chamfer some watchmakers edge their plates with) but it\u2019s a perfect flat. Hand anglage has a very slight curve to it that catches the light in a different way and looks warmer. We hand make and finish our cases too which makes them far more tactile. There are no sharp edges. Sometimes we use cloths in our hand to smooth case backs or the curves of the band so it\u2019s literally finished to the shape of your hand.<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>TC:<\/strong> With a focus on vintage and antique watches, are there any aspects of modern watchmaking, such as new materials, that appeal to you? <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"http:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Struthers-Kingsley-DF-Edition2-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Struthers-Kingsley-DF-Edition2-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Struthers-Kingsley-DF-Edition2-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Struthers-Kingsley-DF-Edition2-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Struthers-Kingsley-DF-Edition2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Struthers The Kingsley D&amp;F Edition \u2013 manual-wind recommissioned vintage Omega from the 1950s, rescued from the bullion industry and stripped back to basics.

Materials-wise, we\u2019re just completing the reverse engineering of a 120-year-old type of watch mechanism that we\u2019re using a kind of bronze developed for Formula 1. We can machine it with our vintage and antique tools and machines and it\u2019s far better wearing than anything the watchmakers who made our inspiration movement would have had access to.<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>TC:<\/strong> As a watch enthusiast, I often choose watches for the statement they seem to make- whether it\u2019s the type of movement or the style of the piece. Does your work incorporate any particular statement or philosophy that you are trying to communicate?<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>RS:<\/strong> We look back to look forward \u2013 so everything we do is traditionally inspired. That includes consideration for serviceability. As restorers, the highest quality watches we work on are the easiest to dismantle and make new parts for if needed. When we make watches we consider how someone will repair them 50, 100, 500 years after we\u2019re long gone. Mechanical watches last that long so that\u2019s an important part of our process. And we also love simple! Grand complications can be incredible to look at but they\u2019re not what makes us tick. Our first movements are two-hand time-only. One day we might incorporate an hourly chime or a moon phase, but a simple time function will always be the focus of the design.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"http:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Struthers-The-Carter-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Struthers-The-Carter-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Struthers-The-Carter-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Struthers-The-Carter-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchpaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wp-Struthers-The-Carter.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Struthers The Carter featuring an in-house Breguet parachute shock setting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>On behalf of WatchPaper and our readers, I would like to thank Rebecca for her time on this (fun) interview.
