  • Always a gem

    Wesley brings in a diverse group of folks that discuss the things that drive his brand. Fashion, watches, and cars are often discussed with numerous bonus insights on life, fatherhood, business, time management and too many other things to list. One of my never miss pods.

  • Wesley is a natural

    OK, full disclosure, Wesley is a friend of mine… but I’m a busy guy and only have so many Podcast minutes in my day to spread around. So when Wesley told me about his Podcast of course I was willing to give it a try but didn’t know how long there after I would stick around. Knowing him, I guess I shouldn’t have surprised that it is really great!!! I’m a hardcore “watch guy” and feel that all of his Watch Industry related guests have been incredible listens. Wesley is a natural interviewer- nice ... more

  • Feels like I’m in a living room chatting with friends.

    Such a good vibe. Love learning about all sorts of people and what they do and what inspires them. Being able to hear all the ups and downs of their lives gives it a “hero’s journey” feel and who doesn’t love a good story. Definitely recommend!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 183 - Rich Fordon (Head of Content at Sothebys)
Q: What would you say is a standout moment or trend in this space?
The convergence of brand narrative and auction storytelling, particularly around marquee lots like Steve McQueen's Monaco or notable Lange pieces, and the growing emphasis on exceptional rarity paired with meaningful stories to drive engagement and value.
Ep. 183 - Rich Fordon (Head of Content at Sothebys)
Q: What is the strategic purpose of attending Watches and Wonders for Sotheby's?
To keep a finger on the pulse of the watch industry, build relationships with brands, and identify opportunities for collaboration on historically important pieces that can be told through strong provenance and storytelling.
Ep. 183 - Rich Fordon (Head of Content at Sothebys)
Q: How did you transition from finance to the watch world and end up at Hodinkee and now Sotheby's?
Rich details choosing passion over a traditional finance path, moving to New York for more watch activity, joining Hodinkee where he climbed from vintage merchandising to the media side, and ultimately transitioning to Sotheby's to cultivate brand relationships and tell historical stories around important pieces.
Ep. 182 - Mike Nouveau (Vintage Watch Dealer)
Q: What's the reality of buying watches in Japan vs the US?
Japan offers high-quality pieces but the US often provides cheaper prices and better condition overall; the trip is about more than price—it's about access to the right provenance and condition, not just chasing deals.
Ep. 182 - Mike Nouveau (Vintage Watch Dealer)
Q: What makes Cartier and Patek Philippe stand out for you compared to other brands?
Cartier is elegant and deeply collectible; its lineage isn't as exhaustively documented as Rolex, which creates a treasure-hunt dynamic for collectors. Patek Philippe shares that same sense of rare, storied pieces that require patience and negotiation.
