<p>In this episode of Wrist Enthusiast Radio, Craig, Ben and Derek are joined by Carlos Ramirez, founder of MEC Watches, for a deep dive into his collecting journey, design philosophy, and the launch of his in-house jump hour masterpiece, the MEC 1. Carlos shares how his love for watches evolved from Fossil and Panerai to F.P. Journe, eventually inspiring him to create his own brand from scratch. From the architectural influence behind MEC’s unique aesthetic to the challenge of hand-delivering the first 50 timepieces, this episode is packed with insights on independent watchmaking and passion-driven entrepreneurship.</p> <p> </p> <p>We also talk straps, quick-release buckles, the value of high-contrast dials, and standout pieces from Omega and Ulysse Nardin to Tudor and Norqain. Along the way, the conversation flows into American watchmaking heritage, the ambition to build a US-based movement manufacturing facility, and even Carlos’s new biodynamic wine project. Whether you’re a seasoned collector, an indie watch lover, or just fascinated by the craft of horology, this one’s not to be missed.</p> <p> </p> <p>Watch this episode on YouTube: <a href= "https://youtu.be/02HWXrkOUBo">https://youtu.be/02HWXrkOUBo</a></p> <p> </p> <p>For Watch News, Reviews and Buying guides: <a href= "https://www.wristenthusiast.com/">https://www.wristenthusiast.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Follow us on Social Media:</p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/wristenthusiast">https://www.instagram.com/wristenthusiast</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/wristenthusiastradio">https://www.instagram.com/wristenthusiastradio</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/wristenthusiast">https://www.facebook.com/wristenthusiast</a></p> <p>TikTok: <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@wristenthusiast">https://www.tiktok.com/@wristenthusiast</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Follow Craig: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/craig_karger/">https://www.instagram.com/craig_karger/</a></p> <p>Follow Ben: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/benswatches/">https://www.instagram.com/benswatches/</a></p> <p>Follow Derek: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/theminutemon/">https://www.instagram.com/theminutemon/</a></p>
