    Just listened to your podcast and WoW!

    I feel like I can relate to all of you. I’m new to watches (I blame Marc for this 😁) but love anything electro/mechanical and the outdoors (go 46ers). You guys are easy to listen, funny, and really like the information I get from you all.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 34: Andrew McUtchen - Not here to eff spiders!
Q: How do you maintain credibility and authenticity while scaling up Time and Tide?
Andrew says credibility comes from staying true to a core curation, continuing to support brands they've championed from the start, and ensuring the consumer experience isn't solely transactional but rooted in discovery and storytelling.
Episode 31: Jason Hutton returns... for the forth time!
Q: Why do you travel to shows overseas and what do you gain that email cannot provide?
Face-to-face engagements with brands create deeper connections, better understanding of needs, and more effective collaboration, leading to inspiration and long-term relationships that are hard to replicate through digital communication.
Episode 37: Q&A with guest host The Dansome
Q: What is one topic you wish more listeners understood about the behind the scenes of watchmaking?
Dan argues that cost is driven by more than just the movement, including tuning, in-house refinements, and brand-specific technologies; brands must invest in R&D, marketing, and ambassadors, which affects pricing and the next models they can develop.
Episode 37: Q&A with guest host The Dansome
Q: Does movement matter more than aesthetics to you guys?
The panel largely agrees that looks come first and movement matters, but it should be balanced by how the movement is executed and the overall quality of the watch; some prefer a reliable, well-finished movement even if not in-house, while others prize precision and the aesthetic harmony of dial, hands, and case.
Episode 37: Q&A with guest host The Dansome
Q: What is the historical rundown of the 12 Days of Dansome and what's happening this year?
Dan describes the evolution from a simple giveaway event to a large, community-driven collaboration that includes many guest hosts and brand partners, emphasizing the goal of giving back and increasing exposure for both brands and creators; this year aims for around 60 videos and wide participation.
