This week we welcome the founder of Studio Underd0g, Richard Benc to the podcast. Studio Underd0g is a relatively young brand which got its start just a few years ago, but has made a relatively large impact on the micro-brand space. The brand has been defined by their vibrant take on the hand wound chronograph, using colors inspired by fruits and other foods, as well as iconic sneakers. In this episode, we discuss the origins of the brands, those unique sources of inspiration, and of course, their latest collaboration with H. Moser. Richard is full of wonderful insights and has a very reasonable take on their decision to offer the collaboration watch as a pair.

This week we welcome the founder of Analog Shift, James Lamdin, to the podcast. We discuss the booming analog world, the current state of the collector and enthusiast space, and the automotive space for good measure. James is an avid collector with decades of experience around all manner of timepieces, but retains a deep love for a few niche areas that we get into in this chat. There's good stuff at both ends of the spectrum here, and we find space for all types of enthusiasts, both new and old.

This week we welcome Justin, aka The Wristorian to the podcast. Justin is an amateur sleuth helping tell the real world stories behind the known and unknown watches through history. The Wristorian Instagram account documents moments in history with archival photos and documentation placing certain watches on the wrists of often influential or important figures. This work brings a rich context to these watches (and their stories) that is often missing from popular culture, and serves to bring awareness to the underrepresented or unrecognized. In this discussion, we talk about the work that goes into his research, and how it has shifted his perspective on watch enthusiasm.
