When a watch industry veteran and a watch nerd are married to each other the topic around the house is always about watches. Now it is time to invite the world into the conversation with hot takes, watch news, and interviews with those around the world of watches.
Ep. Talking watches with Mikey "Horology Critic" Fridman
We sit down with Mikey Fridman aka @horologyCritic on Instagram to talk about what got him first interested in watches and how that has led to him working with new brands to help introduce them to the watch scene via Horology Connection. His origin story is actually very close to Mark's as they both start with a 1967 family heirloom.
Mikey was also part of the group of collectors with Annette that came together to help design the Maurice Lacroix America 250th birthday watch, the Liberty Aikon. We start the chat with how the Aikon came together before delving into Mikey's horological journey.

Ep. 26 A New Collectors Journey
Many of us are seasoned watch collectors that have become jaded from negative comment sections or looking at watches one way for too long. That is why we thought having a talk with someone who is somewhat newer to the hobby would help us all gain some perspective.
We came across Flavia because she was a listener who mentioned us in a post who had a great article in her Substack about how an early purple Swatch worn to a law internship interview shaped the way she viewed watches.
In the past two years she has gone from buying a neo vintage Tag Heuer Formula 1 to having a spreadsheet to help track all the watches that have come in and out of her collection in between visiting Watches and Wonders.
Take a listen to her journey, it just might help you rediscover some of your passion.

Ep. 25 New Lorier and Internet comment sections
While Breitling was coming out with some cushion shaped chronographs and we were all filling out a MoonSwatch application the official relaunch of Lorier was announced. With Worn and Wound moving from journalism with a shop to also owning a watch brand came a small retooling of the look of Lorier. Many on the internet shared their opinion and it had us thinking about another event that happened with Hodinkee this week and our experience with internet comment sections both good and bad.
