Shirt Sleeves, Brand Websites, And The F...

Watching Watches Watch
About this episode

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, David, and Rick are back together for the first time in 2024! It’s another rollicking episode, with favorites from 2023, the fate of watch collections when their owners pass on, the effect of shirt sleeves on watch size preference, and a lamentation of terrible brand websites. Plus, musings on the Gregorian calendar, storyboarding a horological sequel to Succession, and a new take on Hit, Miss, Maybe. Highlights
