Show Notes
"Tool watch. Redefined." Andreas from Fortis chats with me about the history, the brand direction, the collections, and the ethos behind the company. If Fortis isn't on your radar right now and you're in a line of work which is rough on gear, you might want to have a closer look.

Season 2 of the Terminal List drops this week...what better way to commemorate the occasion that having Jack Carr on the SBWC Podcast?
Ben from Tertia Watches discusses his flagship watch, the Odyssey, which I've gotten a change to wear for a little bit leading up to this interview. We talk about Ben's background in LE and an Infantryman in the National Guard. We talk about the impact of 2020 on policing, specifically for Ben in a major metropolitan area, causing him to leave for a federal agency. We discuss the challenges of creating a watch essentially from scratch instead of putting together a watch from catalog parts.
Marine Corps Infantry veteran and CEO of Staccato 2011 Buck Pierson discusses his background, his deployments, and his career trajectory to becoming the CEO of Staccato 2011. We talk about recent social media drama surrounding the company, the culture he seeks to create as a leader, and of course, watches.
Christian (@theoandharris) gives us some insider perspective on the watch world; he declares war on pretty much everyone (I usually ask for a "horological hot take" and he decided to just keep going with it). We talk business (and how he's been successful as an entrepreneur) before we get philosophical and discuss manhood, and how his recent passion for hunting and the outdoors plays into it.
Ferrell Armstrong of @stillridgefarms gives us the behind the scenes of college admissions before we get philosophical on hunting, manhood, family life, and mental health. Of course, we end the episode off with watches.
