Today's podcast guest is Kim Eichler-Messmer. Living in Kansas City, Kim is a teacher, author of Modern Color: An Illustrated Guide to Dyeing Fabric for Modern Quilts, fabric designer for Marcus Fabrics, owner of the Kansas City Textile Studio, textile artist and wife. Growing up in a creative household, Kim learned to sew from her father. She received her bachelor's degree in print making and master's degree in fine art/textiles. She has been an artist in residence at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts and currently teaches at the Kansas City Art Institute. 
During our conversation, we talk about the common concerns people have in their first fabric dying class, designing her first fabric line, the sustainability of making, when she decides to say no and how she gets out of a creative funk. I hope you enjoy the episode.

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).
