How To Guide: Are Watches Worth the Current Price?
PRE-ORDER BOOK: Think Like A Watchmaker
With the prices of watches on the rapid increase, it's very tough to justify the cost of them nowadays. Mind you, this is coming from a watchmaker entrenched in the industry.
Most luxury goods are never a necessity. Watches just happened to be one of those things you legitimately needed back in the day. To know... tell time. Time-telling was one of those things that ultimately changed the way the world operated. It enabled us to travel, meet, and ultimately get in sync with everyone else around us. So how did we go from viewing a watch as a necessity to luxurious and obnoxious now? Listen in.

How Watchmaking is the Shortcut to Learning Anything
OVERVIEW:
Before I stepped away a year ago (February 2021), I was out to prove for my next upcoming book that the PRINCIPLES of watchmaking extends far beyond creating and repairing watches. I was out to prove that it could be applicable to everything we do in life.
I was trying to prove that these principles could be used in everyday life to simplify, breakdown, and learn anything.
It was a rather bold claim when I first put it out. As it should be. I essentially came out and said that I found a blueprint to excel in anything.
I wasn’t born talented or with special genetics. I sucked in school initially since I didn’t consciously know about the watchmaking principles until later on in life. I sucked in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu prior because I was disorganized without a clear set of thinking. I never ran more than a mile in my life let alone a marathon prior to 2021 because I had no idea how to break things down and work towards a simplified step-by-step process.
I did however progress through all of that using the principles of watchmaking that I have now organized. Would I call all of this a success? I think I will.
Some of you will have some negative things to say. I’m sure of it. To make it clear, I don’t think it’s not a matter of grit or pig headed determination. I felt positive and in control that each step I took was calculated because of how I went about simplifying and breaking everything down to key components.

How to Memorize Any Skill/Technique/Repetition
Everyone only has 24 hours in a day
What you do with that is up to you. Can you spend all 24h ours studying for something? Memorizing something?
- Space out your studying - hence the name space repetition
-leverages something called spacing effect
-describes how brains learn more effectively when we spread out the information we are learning over time
-anything related to analysis and synthesis will need to be spaced out to allow neural adaptions and connections to melt and soak up
-Think about building a brick wall. If you stack up the bricks too quickly without letting the mortar solidify in each layer, it’s not going to be a good wall.
-Something called the Forgetting Curve which the Herman Ebbinghaus first systematize in the 1880s.
-Memories work like a muscle. The more you recall it. The more you demand the importance of keeping it in the brain
-Like a muscle, we need to break down the memory. We have to let the memory hit a point where we ALMOST forget it. This forces us to the next topic
-RETREVIAL. By waiting until we are at the cusp of the information we want to remember, we force our brain to work harder to retrreive it. Think of this as progressive overloading concept where we reintroduce a stimulus to the brain.
-First repetition on day t1
-Second reptition on Day 3
-Third on Day 8
- Fourth on Day 15
You can even do it every week. Or every week an a half. Progressively overloading the memory stimulus.

Advice to the NBWM Course Students
I want to start this off by saying for those of you listening to this publicly, outside of the course, that this is a golden nugget. This podcast is dedicated to the students of the course. I speak to them like I would speak to my own family if I ever taught them watchmaking.
I share some tips and advice for them in learning watchmaking and a brief expectation in what to look out for in the course.
Look.... at the end of the day, you’re going to mess up. Expect it. It’s not a mistake unless you learn from it. If you don’t learn from it, only then does it become a mistake. Let the lessons callous your mind. It’s going to be a tough process. It isn’t easy nor did I or anyone else ever said it was going to be easy. I said that watchmaking is complicated but it doesn’t have to be boring and it doesn’t! But simple isn’t easy.

Interview with Henry Ly from Watchmaking Project NYC
Why Watchmaking Is A Low Tech Field
This notion might have something to do with the older generation having something against technology and today’s ever changing innovations. If you pay attention, most of the praises still go to the companies that do everything by hand without relying on a machine to complete the task. In watchmaking, you’ll find that new machinery only compliments what we currently accomplish and create. Just take a look at the Quartz Crisis and you’ll see evidence of where the Swiss rejected the ease and efficiency of technology.
