In this episode the gents sit down with one of the most esteemed collectors they've ever had the pleasure of hosting, Fremstar. The name conjures mystery in the watch world as many horological enthusiasts recognize the name from social media as being synonymous with their personal "grail" watches, while also not knowing much if anything about the man behind the now famous instagram page.  

Fremstar, who though choosing to remain anonymous, is a true watch lover and collector in sense that he enjoys the hunt just as much as he enjoys sharing space and his pieces with those that share his passion.  The episode is titled, Madvillainy, in honor of the classic avantgarde hip hop album produced by Mad Lib and MF Doom 19 years ago this Spring. There is a shared spirit between Fremstar and Doom. The fine line between wanting to share something magnificent with the world while also maintaining anonymity. Enjoy!
