American watchmakers Roland G Murphy and Joshua Shapiro will be at a panel in NYC this Sunday (and you can come!)

Sep 12, 2019,13:54 PM
 

So, I heard from L.A. based watchmaker and guillocheur Joshua Shapiro that he will be in NYC Sunday at a panel with Roland G Murphy of RGM. It's at 1pm, and for the location in Manhattan you can RSVP with Joshua via email: Josh AT jnshapirowatches DOT com The first picture is an example of the Infinity series, the watches Josh has now, using a movement by UWD and Josh's own hand guilloché. He plans to have a watch with his own American made movement, his own finishing (and continuing his guilloché dials) in the future. Roland and RGM need no introduction, of course, but it sounds like Josh will be following in Roland's footsteps and aiming toward a more haute horology audience. Should be great to hear them both.

Josh Shapiro is currently making a watch for me! He's a lovely guy and very passionate about artisanal watchmaking. If anyone is there and could make a recording=that would be most appreciated! Cheers from Melbourne AUS

Funny, the second watch! [nt]

You mean the new (old) one he's making based on an American model?

For sure! I would ask him to really finish it well. Between this or the AdC I'm not sure!

that was my thought too.

Josh Shapiro is currently making me a watch, with a symmetrical lower labels: “California” and “Guilloché” Mine will be a different crown with a few other tweaks. Incidentally this was a watch Josh was showing to folks at the RedBar Global event recently ...  

Yes, Sir!

It will be a beauty! Can’t wait until it’s ready. Josh is a major talent and a delight to communicate with!
