This week on the SUPERLATIVE Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams is joined by Garrin Fraze, the Program Coordinator for the Watchmaking Program at Paris Junior College in Paris, Texas, as well as the owner of G. Fraze Horology. Garrin and Ariel delve into the complex realm of watchmaking, discussing the present shortage of skilled watchmakers, the significance of formal training, and the hurdles confronting independent watchmakers. Ariel asks Garrin to discuss the Watchmaking program at Paris Junior College and why it is so important to seek formal education for the trade of watchmaking. He also details the watch repair and watchmaking services offered by his business, G. Fraze Horology. Garrin shares his insights on the differences between restoration and repair, the significance of formal training, and the evolving landscape of modern watchmaking. The discussion further explores the potential for content creation within the horological community to foster connections between watchmakers and enthusiasts as well. Listen in on their conversation as Ariel and Garrin take a deeper look into the world of watchmaking, formal education, and so much more on this week’s episode of the Superlative Podcast.
