Matthew McDonough and I were first in contact towards the beginning of the pandemic. Though online-only at first, we quickly connected in person over a group dinner, watch gatherings, and of course when he hosted me on his podcast, Spirit of Time. Matt and I often text about a wide range of subjects, but usually rooted in watches. Having him as a guest on this show is long overdue, so I’m thrilled…
Those of you who listen to this show regularly, will absolutely welcome back James Stacey for a round two. If you’re new to this show, James cohosts the Grey Nato podcast alongside Jason Heaton, another previous podcast guest on the show. James was somewhat recently promoted to editor in chief of none other than Hodinkee, so I was excited to catch up. James & I share a lot of enthusiasm for…
Over the last year, I came across Dave Herring’s YouTube channel while exploring some photography gear. Dave is a Bay Area photographer who shoots a lot of landscapes I enjoy - especially those among the Tetons in Wyoming. Dave also does a fair share of product reviews on his channel, as well as shares much of his experience and insights as a content creator. We met briefly at the grand opening of…
This week brings us the latest in-between-isode I recorded with Blake where we catch up, chat about content creation, social media and the mental health of it all, then we chat a little bit about Leica, and of course some Formula 1 chat. I’m really enjoying these conversations that stray from the surface-level chats about products and their specs (which we echo in the recording), so hopefully you…
I think it’s fair to say Robert Spangle is somewhat of an international man of mystery. Our connection began actually a few years ago at an event in Los Angeles, only to be put on pause until last month when I visited him at his studio, which as I learned alsp serves as his residence. Robert is probably best known for his blog & Instagram presence, Thousand yard style, let alone his documentation…
Today’s another example of a collector I’ve crossed paths with, both online, and in person. Salim Hamman, as you may know, is also one of the Four Married Men, a podcast he co-hosts alongside Jake Ross, Tim Green and Justin Hast. Salim and I connected in Geneva during watches and wonders only for him to share with me he’s longtime listener of this show, and since I’m also officially a fan of his…
Today, I welcome back Jeff Hilliard. Part 1 hosted Jeff when he was working at Hodinkee as an instrumental part of their Limited Editions department. Recently, Jeff became the Creative Director of previous podcast guest, Jake Mueser’s company, J. Mueser. We jump right in to his new role, how he got there, and what he was looking forward to most. We then chat a bit about furniture - something both…
The funny thing about getting older is you start to admire people younger than you, and today‘s guest is one of those people. I was first aware of Erik Gustafson as one half of the Hairspring Podcast alongside his cohost, Max. Hairspring, as I learned in this episode, was Erik’s baby entirely. I recently worked with Erik on a particular acquisition which will be shared at a later date, so I can…
Hugh Mo is the co-founder of Artifact New York, a fashion business renting historical designer fashion pieces to photo shoots, movies and celebrities, including many musicians. With operations situated in NYC and Los Angeles, they are the go-to house for this kind of service as also featured in their early days in none other than Vogue. I met Hugh through the watch scene in New York, and he’s…
Today I welcome back the Chief Design Officer of IWC, Christian Knoop. Though we technically saw one another in Geneva, sadly, we didn’t spend much time together aside from quickly saying hello. This is part of why I wanted to invite him back on the show as well as delve into the how’s and whys behind their 2026 releases. There were a lot of watches from Schaffhausen presented, so I couldn’t wait…
Welcome back to another bonus episode where Blake Buettner of the deep Track and I catch up, talk watches, as well as share our latest thoughts about the Formula One season. Today we chat about the new tutor bumblebee, we do somewhat of a deep dive on the Rolex Daytona, we get into a little bit of this weekend‘s Le Mans race, and then we wrapped things up with Formula One. We’ve got an exciting…
