Ep 423: Is The Watch Industry Out Of Ideas?


Listen Later

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Zach Weiss and Liam O’Donnell to the podcast to discuss a topic we’ve been thinking about privately for a while and have heard grumblings about elsewhere. Today we’re asking a big question: is the watch industry out of ideas? 

We’ve all felt it in one way or another. There’s a sense among certain enthusiasts that brands are repeating themselves, churning out conservative products that are proven sellers at the expense of innovating. But is that an insidery point of view? Maybe “innovation” isn’t exactly what this centuries old industry is really about? We chat about how some brands play it safe, constantly trying to recapture the past (and why that’s appealing to a lot of us) and how others are a little more daring, and how that impacts the entire industry.
