Podcast Overview
<p>A podcast about watches, but even more so, about navigating life and trying to appreciate the small details along the way. Join four lifelong friends, now in their mid-40s, as they discuss timepieces, marriage, fatherhood, movies, sports, faith, food and drinks, and much more. Easy listening, fun, funny, personable. <br><br>We appreciate someone who builds a cocktail at home the same way it should be served at a bar. That's someone aware of the small details in life and that ultimately, we wear a nice watch or make a cocktail the right way, not to show off to others, but because we enjoy it ourselves.

E87: Get a Watch, Not a Phone
In this episode, the fellas return to the podcast studio following a break. They discuss things that have happened over the last few months including some interesting changes to their watch collections. They enjoy a robust conversation around cell phones in schools and the way these devices have become so powerful in our lives. Perhaps we would be better off with a wristwatch to simply tell us the time? It’s complicated.
