First and foremost, we want to thank everyone who sent us questions! Thank you also for listening to us. We are so humbled by your support.
This is our first Q & A, and we honestly loved it! We had a such blast answering all the questions! The list of questions we answered is below. We apologized we didn’t get to answer them all. This is our longest episode, 1 hour and 12 minutes in total. For your sake, we thought we couldn’t (and shouldn’t) push it further. But rest assure, all the questions we haven’t answered will be in the next episode. We promise. And we keep our promise.
@biaoist - What’s the exact goal of this podcast
@onehundredtwentyclicks - What is your favorite era of watch design? Do you think watch brands have gotten "safe and bland" in their design today?
@gahindin - What do you think being a watch enthusiast in 2021 means? While I avidly read and consume lots of watch media and horological information, I don't own any expensive watches. (I have a Seiko 5, vintage 1951 Longines and 1918 Waltham, and a Timex Marlin with a green dial for example.) I hope to save for a Rolex or Grand Seiko or Fears watch as my first big purchase, but that is going to take me several years. So, my follow up questions would be if a person doesn't have the means to build a collection full of Rolex, JLC, Cartier, etc., but nevertheless loves watches, what are ways that such persons can still participate in the Watch Community? Thanks and keep up the great work! You are among my new top podcasts.
