Send us Fan Mail This week producer Josh joins the show to tackle the fallout from the AP x Swatch Royal Pop release, and assess what the pocketwatch says about the broader enthusiast space. We also chat about the influence of “luxury” in how watches are presented to us, and how our experiences in the independent and micro brand scene tell the real story of the industry. Finally, we ponder the effect of influencers and social media on collecting from a personal perspective.
