Tony Traina is a watch writer I have become friends with over the last few years, so this episode is yet another long overdue recording. His Substack, Unpolished, is one of only a few I subscribe to, so I was excited to ask him about his journey away from a larger company like Hodinkee to embark on his own, independent distribution model. Tony isn’t a car guy, so it’s all business, watches and a spritz of golf considering Tony’s little-known stint playing AJGA tournaments. Please enjoy my conversation with Tony.
