Want to learn about one of the most creative British watch brands in the watch world? Listen in as the boys talk to José Miranda of Isotope Watches and uncover the creative genius he and his brand humbly emanate.
Hear about how Gerald Genta inspired Isotope's first ever watch, the Jumping Hour Rider, and the pitfalls and challenges José faced in producing it. Starting his watch business in 2016 it hasn't taken long to get recognised by the big players in the industry, as Isotope made their initial collaboration watch with none other than Wei Koh's Revolution Magazine with their mirror-dialled Mercury. At first glance, this and the new MoonShot Chronograph, the Flyway, The Goutee D'Eau, and the yet-to-be in main production Jumping Hour OVNI may all seem like completely different styles of watches, but you'll be fascinated to hear how the rich Isotope design language and DNA runs through the veins of all of them, with more Easter Eggs, and spiritual and mystical links than The Da Vinci Code.
Inspired by The Egg of Columbus, discover how José won't stop until he makes the impossible possible, fueled by his desire and passion to be unique, and try what nobody else has. So if you thought Isotope was simply a "quirky" British brand (via Portugal), think again and fall in love with the underrated but most certainly highly respected, creative mind of the main man at Isotope Watches.
Get ready for an incredible experience, which may have also inadvertently unearthed a watch perfect for the next installment in James Cameron's Terminator movie series!
So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we delve deep into the mindset of a real gentleman and visionary in the watch world.
