59 minutes

In this episode of the Wrist Check Podcast, Perri and Rashawn sit down with vintage watch experts Eric Wind and Charlie Dunne, who share exciting news about their upcoming book, The Modern Guide to Vintage Watches. Eric and Charlie discuss their mission to make vintage watches accessible to both seasoned collectors and newcomers, bridging the gap in the market for a comprehensive, yet approachable, guide.

They dive into the philosophy and artistry behind collecting, touching on the allure of iconic models, the mystique of tropical dials, and the nuances of watch condition that can drive collector demand. Plus, they reveal insights into pricing rare pieces, like Speedmasters with tropical dials, and explain why details like sharp lugs and unpolished cases matter.

Join us for a fascinating look at the evolution of vintage watch collecting, the importance of quality over quantity, and some behind-the-scenes stories about their journey together as co-authors and colleagues in the world of high-end horology.
