Today brings us to Round Table 3. Sadly, the third member of this conversation had an emergency, so he couldn't make it - perhaps we'll host him another time! Instead, I welcome back Raymond Milnarik to the show where we discuss a litany of Maintenance issues for us both. Stay tuned for our hot takes and things aside from cars and watches we've been into lately!

For one reason or another, some podcasts end up taking years to record, and today’s is no exception. That’s right, years,  making this episode long overdue, and hosts an  inevitable guest, Cameron Barr. You probably know him as Craft + Tailored  online, and I know him as someone with whom I arguably have far too much in common. He is a cool, calm and collected vintage watch dealer, so naturally, I wondered what stresses him out. We highlight our affinity for those cars from Stuttgart, but not before we discuss his home several miles away from downtown Los Angeles, the area where he long called home and his office still resides. So, today is architecture, cars, watches, and Cam.

This was one of my favorite episodes. Justin Placek, known for his unbelievably beautiful seat inserts for 911s, is my kind of guy. Obsessed with detail, striving for perfection, but understanding life is short. I thoroughly enjoyed his story-telling and he really has some to tell. I’m particularly fond of how his business has evolved and the ethics with which he operates. If you’re a fan of STANDARD H, you’re going to love Justin, so please enjoy it.

Today brings you the second episode of the STANDARD H Round Table and it features two great friends: Trevor Wynn of Pare Pare Podcast and Wes Wynne of Collectors Corner NY! That's right: two Wesleys and two Wynn(e)s...who woulda thunk it?! I'm excited to release this chat as we are all devoted car and watch enthusiasts and not too dissimilar tastes! In this episode, Trevor finally gets to vent some frustrations (ha!), as well as share what he's selling...and hunting! Wes shares a new (incredible) watch acquisition as well as discusses the car that seems to make him want to sell it from time to time. All this and more in today's podcast...thanks for listening!

This week, my good friend Blake and I are coming to you with a special interview episode! That’s right, we are interrupting our Formula 1 action, and with very good reason, as we welcome Mr. Wilhelm Schmid, CEO of none other than A. Lange & Söhne! Wilhelm is someone I’ve been thoroughly eager to meet, so this conversation was especially exciting for me.Wilhelm is an incredibly engaging guest given the product he oversees, and as some of you may not be aware, he is deep into cars, more specifically as a vintage car enthusiast. As a result, Blake and I are thrilled to welcome him, not only to get to know him a bit more, but also introduce a new watch making its debut at the Concourse of Elegance Germany at Lake Tegernsee. We are excited to share stories about the watch and its collection within the A. Lange & Söhne catalog, and we can’t wait for more to come! Please enjoy our conversation with Wilhelm Schmid.

On today's Pit Stop, I discuss the new Willys Shirt Jacket in Battle Ship Grey, the Intersect Show this Saturday, updates on the Polos, the collaboration Watch Strap with Molequin, the return of an OG hat, some investor talk, as well as a fairly significant change to the approach of the STANDARD H assortment.

Kenneth Lam and I met at the Toronto Timepiece Show last September when he stopped by my booth. After chatting getting a closer look at what was on his wrist, I knew I wanted to learn more. I’m excited to host Ken and give him the space to share his design philosophies and approach to his watch brand, Arken, as it’s somewhat of a David versus Goliath story as so many micro brands are. I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome back to another F1 podcast with Blake Buettner I’m your co-host, Wesley Smith. I want to welcome you to a recap of the F1 movie! This was a super fun conversation so let’s get into it. Thanks for listening!

It’s widely known I’m a huge IWC fan, and today’s episode is one I’ve looked forward to for years at this point as it hosts Chris Grainger-Herr, IWC’s Chief Executive Officer since 2017. I was fortunate to cross paths with Chris back in April when I was a guest of the brand at the Goodwood Members event. After being introduced, we shared some time chatting cars while eating hamburgers and watching vintage cars lap the track. Pretty surreal to be quite honest. An architect and interior designer by trade, Chris and I chat about his ascension within the company, having started in marketing only to begin designing stores. We discuss his relationship with Toto Wolf, his most worn watch and of course his grail car.
