Ep 387: What Do We Value in Watches?

This week, Griffin Bartsch makes his return to the Worn & Wound podcast, where he joins Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss for a conversation focused on how we find value watches. Inspired by Griffin’s recent review of his Vertex Aqualion, they dig into concepts of price sensitivity, how we rationalize the cost of a watch, and what actually makes us think a watch is “overpriced.” It’s a fun discussion on a topic at the forefront of the minds of many collectors as watch prices rise but the overall quality of a watch doesn’t necessarily follow suit.
