Bradley Taylor
Watchmaker
Bradley Taylor is a watchmaker based in North Vancouver, quietly producing fewer than ten pieces a year. His journey began in Switzerland, where he trained in classical watchmaking before honing his skills with Patek Philippe and other storied manufacturers. In his own workshop, he manufactures and hand-finishes movement components himself, carrying out traditional techniques such as guilloché, anglage, even making his own numerals. His first hand experience in learning and practicing these crafts gives him a great foundation for evaluating anything under his loupe.
Alexandre Beauregard

Between Geneva and Montreal, Alexandre has invented his own fabulous genre of watchmaking that has led to his being shortlisted 3 times at the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève. The Beauregard universe unfolds an aesthetic that elevates technical perfection to artistry. A mastery that is demonstrated rather than proclaimed, a celebration of color where the human hand emerges as the quintessential tool of creation.

Robert Jan Broer
Founder - Fratello Watches
Ever since he was a young child, Robert-Jan was drawn to watches, even though it were digital Casio and quartz Swatch models at the time. In the mid-1990s, his interest increased when he started to read about mechanical watches in magazines, books, and on the first internet platforms on watches. In 1999 he bought his first mechanical watch, a Speedmaster, which made him sell his car to be able to do so. A fast-forward to 2004 and Robert-Jan started to write about watches on this website to share his knowledge and getting in touch with like-minded people. In 2008 he made his first trip to Baselworld and from that moment on he was completely hooked to the watch industry. In 2012, he coined Speedy Tuesday as he had become a Speedmaster collector himself in the course of time. With a modest collection of watches from several brands, he still doesn’t call himself a collector. He only buys what he wears, although he’s known to be a hoarder of things. His aluminum Rimowa suitcase is his loyal companion when he visits watch manufacturers, events, auctions, and get-togethers with collectors. Robert-Jan is (guest)speaker on watch events and consulted a number of watch brands in the past but writing a good story on watches is his favorite activity.
