  • Great Pod and community

    Informative with good humor. I enjoy hearing the honest opinions of Rob, Alon, Scarlett, and David. The guest interviews are very insightful. Their lastest glass igloo sessions made it as if I was at the trade show myself.

    Their open mindedness is also reflected in the inclusiveness of the TRTS network community they have built.

    Very happy I discovered the pod and community!

  • The black book of the watch industry

    “The black book” of the watch industry, as they call it. This is a mature podcast that brings interesting analysis on the watch industry / hobby, and my favorite - plenty of up-and-coming watch entrepreneurs that make me discover new brands and novel designs. Great work team !
