The Deep Track Podcast: Ep. 15 – George Bamford

This week we’re thrilled to welcome friend George Bamford to the podcast. George has been a mainstay in the industry for over 20 years, known for his unique approach to watch customization and more recently, his own watches from Bamford London. He is also a serious watch nerd and collector. In this episode, we discuss the origins of Bamford Watch Department, how his motivations have evolved over the decades, how he finds inspiration, and how his own collecting and enthusiasm has taken shape. 

George reveals details on his first watches, including his attempts at customizations, that say a great deal about the manner in which the Bamford name has come to mean to enthusiasts. Additionally, we discuss some of our favorite recent releases and the current state of the industry.
