Follow My Research at Grail Watch Wiki

I have always seen myself as a storyteller as well as a researcher. This is the reason I started the Grail Watch website, the Watch Files podcast, and the related social media channels. I love to share the stories of the people, the companies, and the craft of watchmaking. I remain committed to this, but the time has come to share my work more openly. My research notebook, Grail Watch Wiki, is now open to readers and collaborators as a complementary resource!

Grail Watch Wiki is officially open to visitors!

A Promise to Readers

My promise to readers and subscribers is always to tell a story, helping them to better understand the history and hobby of watchmaking. From the outside, the Grail Watch website looks pretty quiet. I have been working to publish more often, but even in a best-case scenario a reader could only expect one article every week or two. Although I’ve experimented with different formats, my goal is to keep up this steady schedule and focus on quality storytelling not a constant barrage.

The Grail Watch website is the core that feeds the mailing list and social media channels: My goal is to publish a newsletter every week, but no more frequently than that. And I don’t find it all that productive to post too frequently on social media, though I do enjoy the conversation on Mastodon, Instagram, Discord, and forums. Though I haven’t abandoned the Watch Files podcast, I have not yet brought it back from its long hiatus.

Despite this calm publishing schedule, Grail Watch research has been taking up an increasingly-large share of my spare time. I’m sure it would shock my readers and subscribers to learn that I have completed research into dozens of historic watchmakers and companies over the last year, representing thousands of hours of work! In fact, I’ve been able to maintain this level of effort for almost a decade, building a private library of documentation and writing millions of words of notes.

For the last few years, my research notebook has taken the form of a personal wiki, since I’m very familiar with this software after decades devoted to Wikipedia and Watch Wiki. That site, Grail Watch Wiki, has been visible to anyone who happened across it for years, though I never intended anyone to actually visit. The time has come to change that.

The Grail Watch Research Process

A few years ago I wrote an article outlining the research process I follow when investigating the history of watchmaking: Rather than start with the currently-established story of a brand I begin with a blank page, searching for historic primary source data to build a solid foundation. I have discovered more sources of data since then, but my approach remains the same:

Build a timeline of the company based on official business registrations and other reliable primary sources
Investigate the primary people involved in the company, building a family tree and establishing their relationships
Research companies related through people, corporate ties, and professional alliances
Search for advertisements and press mentions that establish a story and correlate this with the timeline
Look for interesting stories to share on the Grail Watch website or Watch Files podcast

This approach has served me well, and I have dozens of interesting stories to share. But each step tends to add more new avenues of investigation, and each new discovery exposes more research left to do. This is why I haven’t always reached step 5, which would result in an article and newsletter being published.

This is why I am now promoting my private research notebook to a public source of information. Although I won’t push it too hard, I will begin sharing the work I have been performing at all five steps of my process rather than waiting for a story to reach the end.

Introducing Grail Watch Wiki

Grail Watch Wiki is my personal notebook. I do not intend for it to become an encyclopedia or even a complete reference work, and I am not opening it up to other authors. But it has reached the point that it needs to be a little more presentable for public consumption!

This article on Nouvelle Fabrique de Tavannes is typical of completed articles at Grail Watch Wiki

The Grail Watch Wiki homepage is worth a regular visit: It is updated every day with a daily list of industry events “On This Day,” a rotating Article of the Day, and a fun vintage-inspired poster!
The homepage also includes a section showing my most-recent completed articles and my current research topics.
I have begun labeling articles “Complete” when they have reached a point that they contain a full history of the topic backed up by primary sources and I have less to add. This doesn’t mean the article won’t change, just that it’s ready for public consumption. This includes over 350 articles as of today!
There are also thousands more articles representing topics that I am still researching. I am trying to label these as needing work, incomplete, or in progress, but suffice to say that anything not including the “Complete” header is still in the works.
I’m still developing the right way to include references, but many pages include timelines, sources, and reference links.

Overall, you can expect that everything included on the Wiki is well backed-up with research and source documents. But these articles are more factual and structured, with very little focus on storytelling.
