We're joined by Monta co-owners Justin Kraudel and Michael DiMartini to discuss their small but mighty microbrand founded in St. Louis, MO, USA. We discuss and revisit how they conceived Monta, their journey into the retail space, and many aspects of their design language and current collection including the new mint-colored-dial Monta Noble, the revised Oceanking, and their Skyquest GMT which is a fan-favorite of the podcast.
Join us for a conversation with the US-based watchmaker as we discuss technical feats and the ins and outs of watchmaking and designing, grill-timer complications, and every watch collector's struggle: having too many to choose from!
You can find Monta online at montawatch.com and on social media @montawatch
