Q: What is your grail watch and why?
Tudor North Flag. It is a milestone watch and a prototype watch for Rolex SA. It worked out the new movement for Tudor and helped in the development of a new escapement? The look also took a nod to tool watches like the Ranger and Explorer, but with new synthetic materials ceramics. Having a power reserve indicator is useful. Being a designer, one has to appreciate the daring it took to make this watch which is very much outside the norms of Tudor and Rolex. It is a watch which spoke to the past while looking to the future.
