Episode description

For someone who is the founder of one of the most well known rare, pre-owned, independent, and vintage watch platforms, you would think that all their energy goes towards watches. And while the majority does, founder Silas Walton has an affinity for arguably the most luxurious brand there is, Hermes. The brand history for Hermes dates back to 1837, when they made luxury saddles and harnesses for noblemen, but around the 1950’s they started to create home goods crafted out of silver. These objects were quite utilitarian and ranged from cigarette pots to wine coasters and tastevin’s. While these items are quite rare and extremely difficult to stumble upon, Silas and the team at ACM have made it pretty easy for you to collect as well as they recently started selling them on their website. Don’t worry though, we chat about watches too. It’s my absolute pleasure to present to you, Silas Walton, for Collectors Gene Radio.
