A Few Minutes with Peter Roberts

Real talent is a truly rare thing. It is not something that just happens. It takes that initial spark, added to a devotion to learn, improve and grow.  Throw in decades of study, and teaching future watch makers...

like I said, it doesn't just "happen".

This BaselWorld marked the arrival of the Grand Complication 5 from Peter Roberts, and he was kind enough to spare me some time to talk about it, and a bit about himself as well.

And now, a few minutes with Peter Roberts -

The Watch Industry and the Transfer Window - Part 2

Although this news has been reported elsewhere, I wanted to follow-up for
confirmation and comments, so apologies if you've already read this elsewhere.

Peter Roberts has been working as the Consultant Technical Director with Bremont for the past four years.  But with a new year come new challenges and he will be moving on to pursue the design and manufacture of his own collection through Peter Roberts Watches -

Here is the announcement from Peter Roberts Watches -

"As is known, Peter Roberts has been serving as Technical Director with Bremont Watches on a consultancy basis for the last four years.

It is with regret that Peter is announcing that he is withdrawing his services and has resigned from his position as Consultant Technical Director with Bremont from January 2013.  Peter wishes the Bremont team every success in the future.

This change does not effect Peter & Marie-Louise’s involvement in the watch industry. They will continue to produce new projects and assist and help in the regeneration of the British watch industry."

And the folks from Bremont were kind enough to provide their comments and best wishes -

"We started an amazing journey together and his expertise was invaluable.  We wish him every success for his future and thank him for his time with us."

So, more changes happening and I have no doubt we'll see more in the coming weeks.
