James McVey (The Vamps) on Defenders, Tudor, touring and time.

Oct 15, 2020

We're sure you've been up all night waiting for this one — our interview with The Vamps lead guitarist and backing vocalist James McVey. Founded in 2012, The Vamps are a British Pop Rock band with a string of hits and a brand new album — Cherry Blossom — under their belts, not to mention billions of streams across all the platforms. Andy and Felix chat to McVey about his musical career, what it's like starting a band on YouTube and how to stay grounded when you're continually touring (and repeatedly selling out the 02 arena).

Oh, and how much fun you can have driving a Defender in Namibia with an ex-SAS veteran. Of course, they also talk watches, and how you can't help but be interested in them when you're hanging out with Ed Sheeran. James' own collection is quite interesting, with classics like Rolex and Tudor in the mix through to more obscure offerings from Vertex and Archimede.

In a plot twist, it turns out that the inspiration for many of these watches is none other than Father-in-law and RedBar member Steve. While McVey might be an award-winning, chart-topping musician, Steve is the real star of this interview.

This episode is brought to you by NOMOS Glashütte, who recently launched a series of limited edition Lambda watches in steel to celebrate 175 years of watchmaking in Glashütte.
