Episode 6: What Makes A Watch High End? | The Wristwatch Handshake

Zachary, Larry, and Brian explore what separates "ordinary" luxury watches from truly high-end pieces. Is it the finishing of the movement? Exclusive dial colors? Or, could it be something else altogether - whether or not the pieces bespoke? We take a look at what we think separates the usual suspects from something truly special and examine whether it's all in the movement or all in the wrist...or all in the singular person who builds you a 1 of 1 piece!

ALSO - While it's no secret that you meet some excellent people along your watch journey, we take a moment to discuss how that can open some doors. The watch "handshake" that can, and often does, happen means you could rub elbows with people who can offer insight, set you up for success, or change the trajectory of your life. All of that while acknowledging that it's still quite true that nobody cares if you buy a Rolex.
