This week on the SUPERLATIVE Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams is joined once again by George Bamford, founder and CEO of Bamford London. Ariel and George are here today not just to talk about the complexities of watch collecting, but they are exploring the greater psychological compulsion to collect in general. Throughout their conversation they explore themes of risk aversion in the watch industry, the social dynamics within the watch community, and how collectors are usually bound by a shared compulsion to acquire. They also touch on the early influences of collecting, the importance of art and imagination in the process, and the unique friendships formed through a shared passion for watches. As Ariel and George dive into the themes of childhood collecting, and the joys of tinkering, they begin to discuss how early experiences shape passions. George shares his thoughts on the democratization of photography through accessible tools, and the relationship between photographers and their equipment. He also highlights the art of photography and its impact on society, while also providing practical advice for aspiring photographers. Join Ariel and George as they fully immerse themselves in the world of collecting on this week’s episode of the Superlative Podcast.
