Two Broke Watch Snobs

Ep. #81: Watchfam Crossover, Stolen Moscato, and TBWS World Travel..?


Listen Later

Mike and Kaz reach the conclusion that Two Broke Watch Snobs is a support group for the horologically insane... and we're totally cool with that!
The guys weigh in on Baume - a new brand from Richmont that offers timepieces sourced from renewable and sustainable materials. There are some pros and cons. But the position of this new brand's niche as sourcing sustainable materials is potentially applicable to our episode last week (the one that focused on watch marketing and target segments). Are these offerings from Baume horologically significant and substantial? Or is it just a marketing gimmick?
Should Mike become a Doxa collector/expert? Or a Doxpert, if you will? Plus, details on how to enter the Two Broke Watch Snobs 5k Follower Giveaway!
TBWS in Hong Kong? It's a possibility. Mike and Kaz are contemplating trekking out to the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Fair this September. What do you guys think? Anyone have any tips for HK flight and travel? Anyone actually local to HK? Think this is a good idea besides us? Weigh in and share your thoughts on whether you want TBWS to get into world travel! We'll be live streaming, recording, and posting like fiends while we're there... IF we actually make it, that is.
Then the guys dive into the main topic of exploring how watch collecting can act as a gateway for other collecting niches (and vice versa). What type of person gravitates towards a collection mentality? Is the connection between watches and other popular collecting items (like pens, knives, notebooks, ect.) organic and logical - or is it forced and inauthentic?
Kaz also pilfers forgotten Passover moscato and drinks on air while the guys lament on how the rest of the world doesn't believe in central cooling. Plus, Doxpert.com?, #dickwrist, "Gain a Watch - Lose a Wife" The Mike and Kaz Story, JEN-NAY, grass-fed free-range blowjobs, and Horological neckbeards... M'lady.
