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 Harrison McCrindle from Marathon Watch Company for an open conversation about the brand’s presence at the event and its long-standing relationship with professional and institutional clients.

During the discussion, Harrison shares insights into Marathon’s background and explains how the brand has historically focused on supplying watches for professional use, before gradually expanding its presence toward civilian collectors and enthusiasts. He reflects on the importance of visibility, direct interaction and meeting collectors, retailers and industry peers at events such as Time to Watches.

The exchange also touches on the practical design approach behind Marathon watches and the importance of functionality, durability and consistency over time. Rather than focusing on specific models or commercial figures, the conversation remains centred on use, purpose and the brand’s philosophy.

A candid discussion about professional watchmaking, long-term relationships and the evolving connection between institutional heritage and civilian watch enthusiasts.
