We’re pleased to share this beautiful article with Rebecca Struthers, the only watchmaker in the UK with a PhD in Horology, and one of the few still practising the art of traditional watchmaking.
Written by Sophie Harrison and Eve-Sakai James for Strapontin, the article, shared below in its original French, offers a rare glimpse into Struthers’ world: a quiet workshop in Staffordshire filled with century-old machines, the hum of focus, and the slow rhythm of hand-crafted precision.
Guardian of Time is a moving reflection on legacy, patience, and the deep meaning found in a craft that connects generations. Whether restoring centuries-old watches or creating new ones by hand, Struthers reminds us that the stories we carry, and wear, can long outlive us.
