Episode 10: Rare But Nobody Cares (with Tony Traina)

Erik & Max are joined by their first guest this week, Tony Traina, for a wide ranging chat including the topic you’ve all been asking for: watches made today that are unloved or not selling, which therefore might be rare and collectable in future. But that’s far from all. We cover Morgan Stanley’s yearly report on the industry as muse to ask ‘What would you do as CEO of TAG?’ and ‘How the hell does IWC price things?’. We ask Tony his unlimited budget three watch roll and wrap with an Only Wrist for a bourbon distiller. From Cartier to Moonswatch and even Greubel, it’s all in here. Enjoy.
