    STOKING THE FIRE WITH JONNY GARRETT OF WILLIAM WOOD WATCHES

    This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week on the Superlative Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by Jonny Garrett, the Founder of William Wood Watches. To start the show Ariel has Jonny dive into his podcast channel where he offers some of his knowledge and guidance to young entrepreneurs and anyone who is eager to learn. Jonny elaborates on the brand being a Firefighter themed luxury watch brand from London in honor of Jonny’s late grandfather, William Wood. Ariel and Jonny talk about the importance of the FireFighting professionals everywhere, and especially those who helped keep California safe during their recent fires that Ariel experienced first hand. Ariel asks Jonny about building a “fireproof” watch, and where William Wood Watches is at in the progression of that idea. The two talk about events and shows that Jonny and the brand are visiting that seem to be smaller gatherings of watch brands and consumers, but how instrumental they are in the industry right now. Ariel asks about Jonny’s travel requirements and busy lifestyle that he sees commonly affect other entrepreneurs in Jonny’s position, and how Jonny is able to combat the roadblocks that may occur with this lifestyle. As the show comes to an end, Ariel transitions the conversation back to the brand being Firefighter themed and how they are able to implement that theme without going overboard or making crucial design mistakes.

    CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF CASIO WATCHES WITH RIPLEY SELLERS OF ABTW

    This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week on the Superlative Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by our very own ABTW team member and Associate Editor, Ripley Sellers. To start the show Ariel and Ripley reflect on their self-proclaimed “amateur historian” statuses in regards to their passion and interest in the brand, and how they have learned even more over the last several days of being hands on with some of their archive pieces. Ripley shares how he loves these unique and sometimes overlooked pieces and the two begin to dive into Casio having a lot of “evolutionary dead-ends” over the years that produced a lot of interesting pieces. Ripley talks about how their approach to making purpose built pieces may have us questioning their logic years later, and also how their different approach to making these tool watches with the emergence of digital technology gave us these pieces that we are still talking about to this day. Throughout the episode Ariel and Ripley go back and forth talking about everything from the history and progression of the brand, some of their very unique features and models over the years, and even Casio’s potential involvement with the smartwatch industry.

Kwai-Chang ,

Let the guests speak.

Great content but I feel the interviewer interjects too much and talks over the guest. Especially the Rowing Blazers episode.

Trittox ,

Potentially interesting podcast, ruined by poor interview technique.

Some of the guests here are great, but Ariel is not a great interviewer. He keeps interrupting and talking over his guests.
