Meet Canada's Best Watchmaker (Bradley Taylor)
<p>Full show notes: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.unpolishedwatches.com/p/meet-canadas-best-watchmaker-bradley">www.unpolishedwatches.com/p/meet-canadas-best-watchmaker-bradley</a></p><p>Canada isn’t exactly known for its watchmaking, but today’s guest is changing that, one handmade watch at a time. </p><p>When I saw <strong>Bradley Taylor</strong> announce his latest watch, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bradleytaylor.ca/watches/ardea"><strong>Ardea</strong></a>, I knew he’d be a good guest. </p><p></p><p>It’s a well-made, time-only watch—in vogue right now—but completely his own. The Ardea ($62k in steel; $82k in platinum) features a retrograde seconds that snaps back to zero every minute, and almost all of the components are made by Bradley in his Vancouver workshop.</p><p>Bradley went to watchmaking school in Le Locle, Switzerland, and earned his Patek Philippe Level II certification before setting off on his own in 2020. We talk about his journey to becoming an independent watchmaker, the challenges of running a solo workshop, his thoughts on the market for high-end (and high-priced) indies, and where he fits in. Then, we dig into his latest release, the Ardea.</p><p>For more on Bradley or to get in contact with him: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bradleytaylor.ca/">bradleytaylor.ca</a></p><p>Thank you to The Escapement for sponsoring today’s episode.
