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. The combination of Henry’s engineering mind and keen eye for design took a natural path to becoming the founder of York & Front Watch Co. @yorkfrontwatches https://www.instagram.com/yorkfrontwatches/?hl=en, which is an independent watch brand based in Canada. Please tune in to this episode to learn more about Henry’s thoughts as it pertains to his passion for watches, whiskeys, and cars.
