It was an absolute pleasure spending time with our next guest, Henry @jubhat https://www.instagram.com/jubhat/?hl=en. Although Henry and Ernesto haven’t known each other for a very long time, you could definitely hear these two enjoying their conversation about watches, whiskeys, and cars. The topics varied from Henry’s passion with Seiko and Grand Seiko, modern versus vintage Porsches, and his inquisitive nature. From his youth, Henry would describe himself as a “tinkerer”, and to this day, he still loves to mod a Seiko SKX when he has the time.

It was great spending time with Skip @watchingsrq https://www.instagram.com/watchingsrq/?hl=en and having him on the podcast. Skip and Ernesto have known each other for many years. In fact, they’ve know each other before Ernesto had an Instagram account. These two met many years ago when Ernesto was searching for a mirrorless camera and was doing his due diligence stopping by various camera stores throughout the state of Florida. Ernesto noticed Skip’s watch, they ended up having a great conversation about watches, and the rest (as they say) is history. Skip is a true gearhead who has been fascinated with watches and photography from a young age. He has quite an eclectic watch collection with 133 timepieces.
