In the 152nd episode of 40 and 20, The Watch Clicker Podcast, we are joined by the brains behind the oldest-newest brand in horology, Welsbro Watches. Owners Rich Reichbach and Katie Willis sat with us to talk about how the dream of Welsbro was born, from securing IP to the old American watch company, to creating the most charming watch marketing we have ever seen.  

Although their first two runs os watches have sold, you can check out their (still available) straps on the Welsbro website, here.

Intro/Outro Music:

In the 148th episode of 40 and 20, The Watch Clicker Podcast, we explore the idea of the “in house” movement. We attempt a definition of the term, which the industry does not have, and if we give it too much or not enough value when making watch purchase.

Two hard hitting articles we came across while discussing this idea and preparing for our own conversation:

• https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/letter-from-the-editor-has-in-house-movement-become-obsolete

(Both from the Jack Forster).

Other Things: 

Andrew: The American Craft Beer Cookbook find it here.

Everett:  Ted Lasso and perhaps the upgrade you didn’t realize was an upgrade.

Intro/Outro Music:

In this 144th episode of 40 and 20, The Watch Clicker Podcast, we're talking about... plastic watches. As far as we can tell, we are the only people who have ever talked about this topic, and our typical methods for research were not terribly fruitful. so... we did something we rarely do, and we tried to write history. Full disclosure - there is a 90 (or so) percent chance that we missed something major, or got something big wrong. Slide into the DMs to tell us so. 

Other Things: 

Andrew: ummmm... Boats

Everett: Harry Potter!
