Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, it’s the third installment of our “Ask the Collectors” series. This is our ongoing series with a specific focus on collecting, in which Worn & Wound Associate Editor Zach Kazan discuss the hobby with a group of notable collectors that have a huge variety of interests. In earlier episodes (be sure to check out the first and second installments in this series if you haven’t yet), we talked to Christoph McNeill, Erik Strickland, James Smith, and Rob from @bazamu about how they got their start in watch collecting, how they arrived at their collecting focus, and how their taste has developed over time. Today, we’re happy to have these four impressive collectors back to continue the conversation. 

The topic today: how each collector decides on their next collecting pursuit.
