The future of watch design

Davide Cerrato, Managing Director of Montblanc Watches

Davide Cerrato is the Managing Director of Montblanc Watches and one of the most fascinating figures in modern watchmaking.

In a special episode recorded down at Hound Lodge on the Goodwood estate — Montblanc, of course, are the official timekeepers for Goodwood’s Festival of Speed — Davide tells us why we should always strive for imperfection; how he lost his favourite ever watch as a young man; and why we should all try to stay five years old forever.

This episode has been recorded at Mark's Club,read by Joseph Bullmore and produced by Martin Lumsden.
