In this episode \u2013 which comes to you in glorious technicolour \u2013 we\u2019re talking about our brand-new watch: the Sierra Zero One Phalanx. We\u2019re delighted with it, and even happier to introduce you to a man who was absolutely instrumental in its creation: Richard Brown. Richard worked for many years with Special Forces units globally, and we\u2019d love to tell you exactly what he did \u2013 but then we\u2019d have to kill you, which isn\u2019t exactly going to boost our audience figures. Instead, Richard talks about what the Phalanx was inspired by and how it was created, throughout a process that took nearly two years. It's a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes that tells the full story of how an exciting new watch came into being, from concept to reality. Let us know what you think\u2026
