Great clip! My 2500 co-axial movement PO is definitely accurate, but it did have a hiccup a few years ago, interesting to hear Smith's take.

Also, I love the fact that his daily piece is an Explorer. Incredibly cool. Thanks to hodinkee for keeping these icons in the conversation, especially as the tide of SiHH and Basel are coming in.

I found this one to be especially interesting, especially his daily watch.

more technical than most TW's so it was a nice change up.
