Session 017: Nicholas Bowman-Scargill | Fears Watches
from The Bull Sessions · host The Bull Sessions
This week the boys are lucky enough to interview Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, Managing Director of Fears Watches, at their popup shop in London. Fears Watches was founded in 1846 by Edwin Fear before being passed down to the next two generations of the Fear familu until 1966 where the company lay dormant until 2016. It was at this point Nick re-established the business that his great-great-great-grandfather had founded in Bristol 170 years before. He has since released new watches that combine new craftsmanship while paying homage to the roots of Fears that at one point was employing over 100 watchmakers and exporting to 95 countries. Ross and Tom chat to Nick about his incredible journey from working in PR, to becoming Rolex apprentice and the moment he found out about the family watch company. They learn how Nick re-launched the company, its ethos and he's made Fears successful again. The boys also discuss a host of topics including technology, Nick's learnings as an entrepreneur, why he's so well dressed and a whole lot more. Finally we're back with this week's game - time themed, naturally. ----more---- Check out Fears: https://www.fearswatches.com https://www.instagram.com/fearswatches/ https://twitter.com/fearswatches Check our social media: https://www.instagram.com/thebullsessions/ https://twitter.com/bullsessionspod
