00:04My name is Wai Ko.
00:07Call me a watch enthusiast, watch geek.
00:10Okay, maybe I'm a full-blown watch addict on a mission.
00:13Extraordinaire.
00:15Believe it or not, there are millions of us out there.
00:18My mission is to uncover the story of the incredible individuals
00:21that make these machines with heartbeats on our wrists.
00:27It's an incredible thing.
00:28A car which is almost 100 years old, and this watch is going on 30 years.
00:35I started a global watch magazine from scratch, probably sold in a shop near you.
00:40You've probably heard my voice in videos your husband watches
00:42alone in the basement while you're asleep.
00:45Life or death, borology.
00:46Sorry about that.
00:48For 20 years, I've wandered through the world of watchmakers and collectors,
00:52forging bonds with those who share my passion.
00:54I felt like all the secrets of the universe became mine.
00:59It's freedom, it's liberty, it's creativity.
01:02And in humility, I can call this timeless community my friends.
01:07When it's done well, it's a big mess.
01:12I want to finish it.
01:14Join me as I set out on a journey from the vibrant streets of Los Angeles
01:18to the romantic charm of Paris and the historic cities of Switzerland
01:23in search of the world's most inspiring independent watchmakers.
01:30The disruptors who refuse to follow the herd,
01:34forging their own path in the horological landscape.
01:38From tucked-away workshops to cutting-edge ateliers,
01:41I want to uncover what truly makes them tick.
01:45And sometimes...
01:46I'm getting that watch.
01:48I even fight them for their watch.
01:53Savage.
01:53Savage.
