97: How to shop for a watch like an interview or a first date?
In this episode we discuss how we like to approach going to look at a watch that we are interested in. How should someone use the valuable little time they often have with a watch before needing to make a decision on whether or not to buy it.
We approach this with slightly different mentalities, Vu with his interview and Lydia more like a first date.

94: The journey from seeing a watch to buying it
In today's episode we talk about the journey we typically go on from seeing a watch for the first time, be it in a photo or a video or on someone's wrist, to buying it.
We all have our different routines, and Lydia and Vu approach this very differently, to the surprise of no one.

93: Watch engravings - do they change the value of your watch?
In today's episode we talk about some recent watch engravings that we have had done on the case backs of a few important gift watches. We discuss the value that it brings, the value that it takes away, and how we like to approach the thought around what to engrave.

More than just a watch podcast…
First things, first: the production is smooth as fine Italian gelato or a really creamy cappuccino!
Like both those things, this podcast always leaves me wanting more, luckily it is a daily show so I never have to wait too long.
About it not being just a watch podcast: sure it is definitely a podcast for watch lovers, but Lydia and Vu also deliver content and context for the watch curious, blending it with pop culture (did someone say Ryan Gosling), sass and dynamic banter - and that is something we all need.
You can tell this dynamic duo knows what they’re talking about, but you never feel excluded or like you are not worthy. A very amicable host pair.
You are the biscotti to my morning coffee!
Disclaimer: you will want to buy more watches after listening.
