Scottish Watches Podcast #780 : TAG, Formula 1 and Duckworth Prestex’s Most Creative Watch Yet – The Marcato
One of our favorite industry veterans, Neil Duckworth, was too busy to come on the show last year, and in this episode, we’ll discover why. His brand has evolved, rebranded as the Prestex watch company, in the changing landscape of the independent watch industry, and the launch of his most ambitious release to date: the Marcato jump-hour. Click here to read along and see the photos in our show notes as you listen – http://www.scottishwatches.co.uk/2026/05/18/scottish-watches-podcast-780-tag-formula-1-and-duckworth-prestexs-most-creative-watch-yet-the-marcato/ Neil explains the practical reasoning behind positioning the jump-hour display at nine o’clock, the musical inspiration behind the Marcato name, and why the slim Sellita SW300 movement was chosen to keep the watch elegant despite the added complication. The conversation also explores the growth of enthusiast-led watch shows across the UK, Europe, and America, the opening of Prestex’s first dedicated showroom in Buckinghamshire, and Neil’s continuing role as UK distributor for the revived Favre Leuba brand.
