This week we welcome industry veteran Stephen Pulvirent to the podcast. Stephen is a published author, photographer, and long time personality in the watch media space. These days, Stephen runs his own agency called Rime & Reason, helping brands tell better stories to connect with consumers in more meaningful ways. Stephen has a thoughtful and well considered perspective on how the products we use impact the lives we live, and we reflect on what that means in the world of watches and watch media.

This week we welcome Thomas Calara to the podcast to discuss watches, F1, a bit of diving, and more. Thomas is a friend of the show and is currently working for Analog Shift, curating watches and some amazing content around them. We discuss round 6 of the F1 season in Miami which saw Lando Norris take his first win as an F1 driver, and what that might signal for the rest of the season from here on out. More coverage of our time in Miami is in the works so keep an eye out, and we've partnered with Robb Report to bring you a special report from the race, coming soon.

This week we welcome the newly appointed CEO of Zenith, Benoit de Clerck to the podcast to discuss, well, the future of Zenith. Benoit inherits a Zenith that is at the top of their game thanks to the efforts of prior CEO, Julien Tornare, who is now serving in that role for TAG Heuer. Zenith has had a mega year already with the release of watches like the new Defy Diver line at Watches & Wonders, and the new triple calendar Chronomaster Original prior to that. How will Benoit keep the momentum in full swing while making his own mark? For starters, not try to fix what isn't broken.
