Ep 398: Inside Biwi with Cait Bazemore

This week on the podcast, Worn & Wound contributor Cait Bazemore makes her podcast debut. Cait has been writing about watches for years, and in this episode we spend most of our time discussing her recent piece on Biwi, a Swiss firm which has gained some fame recently for their work with Norqain. Biwi is a fascinating company and has manufactured rubber straps and a whole host of other things for watch brands over the years, and the story of how Cait came across the story and what she discovered at Biwi’s facilities in Switzerland is truly fascinating. Before the Biwi talk begins, Cait takes us through her path in the watch industry, what’s interesting to her about the community, and how her interest in traditional craftsmanship relates to the high tech world of Biwi.
