What happens when two watch collectors decide to build a watch brand of their own? For the latest episode of The Road to The Escapement, we sit down with Thomas Fleming, Founder & Designer, and James Kong, COO & Art Director at Fleming, a young independent watch brand bringing a collector-led perspective to contemporary haute horlogerie. ▶Follow us on Social Media: Website: https://tr.ee/LJPXrK Instagram: https://tr.ee/yFtg5G Facebook: https://tr.ee/3PWr5A TikTok: https://tr.ee/VFzCYZ ▶Hosted by: Marko Koncina -   / marko.koncina   Instagram:   / swisswatchgang   YouTube:    / @swisswatchgang   Thomas and James take us back to where their journeys began. Thomas shares how his interest in independent watchmaking grew during the COVID years, while James talks about his unconventional path from studying law to photography, and eventually into the watch industry. Together, they unpack the process of building Fleming from the ground up: the initial idea, the challenges of entering an established industry as outsiders, the highs and lows along the way, how long it took to bring their vision to life, and the journey to finding their first clients. We also take a closer look at the Series 1 Mark II, including the Redwood in 5N Gold and Pacific in tantalum, exploring their distinctive details, materials, movements and the thinking behind their design. Plus, Thomas and James give us a glimpse at what’s next for Fleming with Ghost, set to be revealed on Halloween. And, as always, we finish things off with a little fun: Wrong Answers Only and Ranking in Watchmaking. Join us at The Escapement, which will be taking place in Las Vegas from 5-7 February 2027. For collectors. By collectors. 🎥Video produced by: http://effektagency.com/ #theescapement #watchfair #fleming
