Support The Deep Track on Patreon. This week we welcome James Thompson, aka Black Badger to the podcast to talk about material science, industrial design, and watches. James specializes in bringing exotic materials to life in interesting ways, and has collaborated with the likes of George Bamford, DeBethune, MB&F, and more. These days, James is developing dials for Arcanaut, with their Arc II Fordite being a main topic of discussion here. We also delve into his past, and how he derives inspiration from the world around him.
