Ep. 148 - Paul Boutros (Phillips Watch Auctions)

Ep. 148 - Paul Boutros (Phillips Watch Auctions)

No doubt, if you’ve been into watches for a while, Paul Boutros is a name that’s more than likely come up. His watch journey began as a child, not unlike many of us, but his affinity for the hobby led to a career when he left his job at Lockheed Martin and joined Philips Auction House over a decade ago. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Paul throughout the last several months, and today’s conversation only furthered that fact. This episode is one of those where it twists and turns and arguably starts backwards, which was super fun. Please enjoy my conversation about, you guessed it, cars and watches, and a little bit of missile defense with Paul Boutros.

Ep. 146 - Alp Sever (Langepedia)

As you may know, I’m a massive fan of A. Lange & Söhne, the watch brand based in Glashütte, Germany, and it doesn’t take long to encounter my guest’s website when doing any version of a deep dive on the brand. Alp Sever’s website, Langepedia, began as an Instagram page only to later evolve into the place to gain even more knowledge about these amazing timepieces from the state of Saxonia. Somewhat unexpectedly, in my favorite way, Alp and I go off-piste, conversationally and chat about heavy metal, public transportation, as well as tobacco and olive farming. This was a super fun episode for me, and I can promise this won’t be Alp’s only time on the show, so I hope you enjoy it.

Ep. 130 - Marco Gerace (TLG Auto)

Ep. 130 - Marco Gerace (TLG Auto)

Mechanics. So many have the reputation that seamlessly dovetail into similar conversations about used car salesmen. Well, I can assure you today’s guest’s reputation precedes him, as I heard how amazing of a human Marco Gerace was prior to ever meeting him. Over the last several months, we began an Instagram DM dialogue, and have chatted at a few meetups where I took a chance on him coming on the pod. He obliged and here we are: me introducing one of the best-known Porsche mechanics in all of Southern California and for good reason. TLG Auto is incredibly reputable and his clients are everyone you probably follow online. Our conversation is full of heart in my opinion, starting with some horological enthusiasm, followed by some meaningful family discussion, and of course some car talk. Today’s episode is one of those that absolutely flew by for me, so please enjoy my conversation with Marco Gerace.

Ep. 125 - Michael Luther (Molequin)

Ep. 125 - Michael Luther (Molequin)

Today’s episode is a bit of a special one for me. Not to sound trite, but my “watch journey” has involved a ton of trial and error. I feel like this is true for all of us. When asked about potential regrets, John Mayer famously said “the first 10 to 12 watches when you think you’re amassing a collection…” Though the numbers aren’t the exact same sentiment, buying and experiencing various straps can be a similar path.Well, allow me to do you all a favor and save you the time and money by simply referring you to the European-based watch accessory brand, Molequin - the pronunciation of said brand to be discussed later with today’s guest, Michael Luther. I have referred countless people to Molequin’s site as I believe it to be the absolute best intersection of quality & price. Michael and I have grown our friendship over the years through Instagram, and we’ve also had several Zoom chats. I recently invited Michael to stay at my house on his recent visit to California which was a blast to say the least.He & I sat in my kitchen to talk about the brand’s early days, the ups and downs of business and some of the costs associated, we even go over the correct pronunciation of the brand name. We wrap up discussing GT3 Touring ownership: my personal grail car. If you pay close attention, there’s even a tiny Easter egg in here as well, so stay tuned for that.This was the first podcast I’ve recorded in person for quite some time and it was so much fun.

Ep. 120 - RT Custer (Vortic Watches & Colorado Watch Company)

RT Custer started Vortic Watches right around the time I started STANDARD H, and the better part of the last decade has been an adventure for him to say the least. He started a company, was in a 6-year lawsuit with Swatch, had two kids, and then decided to start a second business alongside everything else. He’s been BUSY. Per usual, this conversation wanders and I wouldn’t have it any other way, so I hope you feel the same.
