Featuring the greatest watchmakers of our time.

The Hour Glass is premiering a short film series featuring some of the most ingenious watchmakers of our time, from eccentric watchmaker Maximillian Büsser to the young Genevan founder of Akrivia, Rexhep Rexephi, from acclaimed British watchmaker Roger Smith to the dynamic duo of URWERK, Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei, and more.

The series is a weekly broadcast over a period of two months, and documents the lives of a select group of watchmakers who share the art of watchmaking and what inspires them to create some of the most sought-after timepieces in the world.
