It’s not the size that counts; it’s how you convey confidence through your brand. Join the Wristies as they try to define microbrands, talk about their favorite micro/independents, and go slack-jawed and drool over a couple of watches they’d like to add to their collections.

What do the Royal Oak, Grand Seiko Snowflake, Tissot PRX, and full-lume dials have in common? They're all under attack!

We dive into our first ever brand collab with the charming folks at Abinger Watches, before putting our collections through a mid-year performance review. Which watches pull the most wrist time? And what are our goals going forward?

You’ll learn Iman has strong feelings about “snot watches,” while Chris risks being banned from Genta fan clubs, before we finish off with a listener question.

We’re thrilled to welcome our first-ever guest to the pod—Mike Pearson, North American Brand Director for Christopher Ward! Mike brings over years of industry experience and infectious passion to the mic. Having spearheaded CW’s bold North American expansion, he’s been instrumental in shaping the brand’s growing reputation for exceptional quality and innovation.

In this episode, we dig into the new Superman movie (SPOILERS AHEAD), and have some fun fan-casting watches onto the characters. We wrap things up with a great audience question from @tom_j_cox_ that gives us the feels.

Cape up, wind your watch, and press play.

And if you want to visit Mike at the Christopher Ward showroom in Dallas, you can make an appointment HERE.
