47Zero...how did this name come about? Who makes these unique watches? Read on...it's a great story!

Caseback Tim through his YT channel has given us all a window into a remarkable story...the story of Cormac Hanley. 

A French photographer who at the age of 47 had a stroke and lost all his skills and had to reinvent himself. He decided to reinvent himself as a watchmaker. Thus the name: 47Zero

From the first video below to the subsequent video a little more than a year later...the progress Cormac has made is astounding.

Here is Tim's video with the full origin story of these watches...

I have one of Cormac's creations and it's really transcendent work. It's not an understatement to say it's changed how I feel about watches as as whole.
