House Of Craft: Independent Watchmaker Simon Brette On His Journey To Watches, And What The Future Holds

Last month, in partnership with UBS, we hosted a get-together and series of talks in New York City called “House of Craft.” The event featured a who’s who of watch-world luminaries, including industry legend Jean-Claude Biver, actor Keegan Allen, chef Alton Brown, AP CEO of the Americas Ginny Wright, actor Daniel Dae Kim, journalist Jay Fielden, independent watchmaker Simon Brette, actor and comedian Ronny Chieng, dealer and collector Alessandro Fanciulli, auction specialist Geoff Hess, and menswear designer Todd Snyder. 

As promised, we filmed these conversations, and will be rolling them out over the next few months. We hope you enjoy today’s conversation between Ben Clymer and independent watchmaker Simon Brette.
