<![CDATA[Between the Lugs - Diary of a Small Business]]> https://www.marloewatchcompany.com/ Join Greg, Oliver and Gordon as they talk through the realities of building and running Marloe Watch Company - from product ideas and design to marketing, launch, and the everyday decisions that come with growing a British business.

Each episode starts with a simple idea or observation and quickly grows into something bigger. From product decisions and creative direction to industry trends and customer behaviour, nothing is off‑limits.

Some conversations stay focused. Others don’t. That’s part of it.

Whether you’re into watches, small business, marketing, design, or just enjoy hearing ideas take shape in real time, Between the Lugs offers a candid look inside a company working things out as it goes.

Hosted by Greg (Marketing Manager), Oliver (Operations Director), and Gordon (Creative Director).

More on the Lug-heads:

Oliver brings over two decades of marketing experience to Marloe Watch Company. Self‑described as “not from the watch world,” Oliver set out to create a mechanical watch with real value at its core. His emphasis on customer experience, quality, and considered decision‑making has helped define Marloe as one of the most unique watch brands in Britain today.

Gordon nearly marked Oliver's initial introductory email as spam - but he's gone on to design 25 watch collections at Marloe and has played a fundamental part in allowing the brand to stand out in a crowded market. A storyteller and self-proclaimed “Chief of Crayons,” he creates watches rooted in narrative and detail.

Greg focuses on how brands connect through stories and intent. Equal parts marketer and “detective of brand strategy,” he’s always looking to understand the why and how behind the work. He's also quite handy with a camera. Ultimately, he's just happy to be here.
