Whiskey&Watches

A concise weekly discussion of whiskey we are drinking, watches we are wearing, and featured segments from Fresh Forum Finds, to Omega Opinions, and Defunct Designs. We are enthusiasts, not experts.

Episode 96: Christmas Conundrum

In this episode we discuss how the holiday season is ripe for potential for "stepping in it" as it were with your non-wis significant other. From projecting our interests onto them, to wanting to spark a desire that might not be there, we talk about why it might be best to REALLY think hard about a watch for someone this time of year.

Episode 192: VPC Watches with Thomas

This week's episode Spence has the opportunity to speak with Fratello writer, and watch brand founder, Thomas Van Straaten to talk about his passion project, VPC watches. It has been a minute since we have had a brand owner on the show, but having spent some time with the VPC Type 37 HW you will see that it has left us thoroughly impressed. Thomas's eye for detail, including developing a unique typeface for the 37 HW, leads to a watch that punches well above its weight and is more than just ...
