Welcome to another Time to Watches podcast, where each recording highlights the people who make the world of watchmaking so fascinating.
Recorded at Time to Watches in Geneva, Alon Ben Joseph and Rob Nudds welcome Robert Punkenhofer, founder of Carl Suchy & Söhne, for an in-depth conversation about heritage, culture and contemporary Austrian watchmaking.
During the discussion, Robert shares how he rediscovered the forgotten legacy of Carl Suchy & Söhne, a historic Viennese brand with roots in the 19th century. Rather than recreating the past, he explains the intention to carry forward the spirit of innovation and elegance that once defined the brand.
The conversation explores how Viennese modernism, architecture and cultural history influence the brand’s design language today. Robert reflects on the balance between history and creativity, and why Carl Suchy & Söhne focuses on creating modern timepieces that express a distinct Austrian identity.
A thoughtful and engaging exchange about heritage, artistic vision and the challenge of relaunching a historic name with a contemporary voice.
