The third interview in my surface design podcast series is Ashley Nickels. Living in San Francisco, Ashley is a quilter, writer and teacher.  She grew up in the quilting community and is the daughter of Sue Nickels, an award winning long arm quilter/author/teacher. During our conversation, we talk about being the daughter of a quilter, the value of personal challenges, how living in Spain changed her perspective, her passion for teaching, and her life's theme song.

Patek Philippe OR A. Lange & Söhne? When it comes to quality of finishing, case and movement materials, and accuracy -- which brand does it better? Lange or Patek?
In this episode, Jason and Josh are going to do side by side comparisons to highlight key differences between Patek Philippe and Lange finishing techniques. They'll also analyze secondary market value of both brands and mention some of the hotter watches from these brands as of 2019.
Would you rather rock the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual (410.032E) or the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar (5270R-001)? How about the A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk (140.029) or the Patek Philippe Nautilus (5712G-001)?

For "This or That" this week, Josh is sticking up for AP with the Royal Oak Offshore Diver Black Mega Tapisserie Dial (Ref. 15703ST.OO.A002CA.01) and Jason is pitting it up against the Rolex Submariner "Hulk" (Ref. 116610LV).
