VJ Geronimo is a previous podcast guest on this show, and as you may know, Oris and STANDARD H have partnered in several ways throughout the years. We’ve co-hosted an event for Red Bar Raleigh, we’ve both participated in the Holiday event at Topper Jewelers, and both companies are huge fans of baseball. Though STANDARD H can’t afford a billboard in Yankee Stadium, it’s something that would be a bit of a dream, and thus, I get to somewhat live vicariously through VJ and his team‘s efforts.

What I love about Oris is their dedicated nature of being inclusive, their ethical approach to business, and certainly their assortment offering true value.

VJ and I start the conversation discussing family, and how father/daughter dynamics change over time, and then we move onto Watches & Wonders: the Oris booth and their approach to the show. Then, VJ walks us through the new releases and the history of a very special watch, the Star Edition.

All of this and more with my very good friend, and someone I hold in the highest regard, VJ Geronimo.

Jake Woolf is someone I’ve followed for a while on Instagram, so I was confident I was inviting a bird of a similar feather on the show. We both love to shop, explore, discover, and obsess over product.

We get into the weeds into the state of fashion, including trends, designers switching companies like pro athletes do teams, and we also talk about what he’d like to see more of in the near future. We later dive into the first of his several upcoming collaborations he has on the calendar for 2026, and you’ll get first dibs if you start subscribing to his Substack, one of my favorite corners of the internet.

My good friend Blake and I sit down for a catch-up about Watches & Wonders, while discussing our picks from the show. We then do a bit of a deep dive into the mindset of IWC and the industry at large. We wrap things up with some Formula One discussion, which I was excited for. I hope you enjoy the episode, so please join me in welcoming Blake back! Audio-only is above whereas video is below!

Matthew Ivanhoe has become known as one of the few trusted pre-owned car dealers here in the United Staes to source vehicles into the 7 & 8 figures.

We met several years ago through mutual friend though never in person until this last Fall. I was excited to host him on the show to get to know him a bit more and find out how a guy in his 30’s can be the guy to call if you’re looking for a McLaren F1 or perhaps even an S2000. Turns out a deep passion and a hustle that began in his teens is the answer.

Please enjoy my conversation with Matthew, who also happens to have great taste in watches. The link to listen is above, or watch it below. Thank you for the support!

Steve Moore returns for a recap of NAABS Miami, the 11th installment of the annual collector meetup/reunion he’s an instrumental part of, and we touch on group events at large. We then take a walk down the path of another Mil Sub acquisition, which was a recent event for Steve, and it isn’t without its own twists and turns, so stay tuned for that. We wrap things up with some conversation about consolidation, and what Steve has been selling to pursue these grail pieces of his. Thank you so much for listening, and please remember to share these episodes so others can enjoy them along with us! If you’d rather watch & listen to our conversation, it’s posted below. :)

Introduction:

I first heard about Workshop 5001 from one of Henry Catchpole’s YouTube videos. Subsequently, I reached out to its founder, Marlon Goldberg, about coming on the podcast. As a preliminary conversation, I dropped by his shop for a proper introduction where he gave me a tour of what they work on, as well as chat a little bit about watches.

This conversation echoes some of that, as well as introduces things like his early desires to be a jazz saxophonist, and even a bit about his boxing workouts.

We discuss the cars in his garage as well as what isn’t getting the attention it deserves. I round things out by asking Marlon how he defines luxury. All of this and more in this week’s episode!
