Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 701! On this episode, we’re stepping into the future of horology with someone who’s bringing aerospace-level engineering right to your wrist. Our guest, Matt Oosthuizen, is the 27-year-old co-founder of Apiar.

A young British watch brand making waves with something rarely seen in our world: additive manufacturing, or as most people call it, metal 3D printing. Forget simple CNC milling from a block of steel or titanium. Apiar is building cases from titanium powder fused by high-powered lasers, the same kind of technology used by NASA, SpaceX, and Bugatti. The result? Intricate designs, impossible to machine traditionally. Matt walks us through how Apia went from concept to fully wearable timepieces in just a few years, highlighting the sustainability advantages of this approach and why these watches serve as proof that British watchmaking can innovate on a global scale.

From limited-edition “wormhole” collaborations to the brand’s new Gen One series, we cover it all.
