Episode 59: The one with Grigor Garabedian

This week, Marc goes solo for a conversation with Tyler Frederick, watch enthusiast, Citizen insider, and death metal vocalist. Tyler takes us back to his origins in the watch hobby, how that passion eventually led to working for Citizen, and what life looks like when the worlds of watches and death metal collide. We talk about the watch industry, music, his journey as a vocalist, and how these seemingly different passions have become interconnected parts of his life. Watches, Citizen, death metal, and plenty of stories along the way. This one goes places!

This week, Marc flies solo and sits down with Jonathan from Helicon Watches. They dig into Helicon's origins, Jonathan’s perspective on today's watch industry, and what it takes to build an independent watch brand. Then they take a closer look at Jonathan's newest project: the Siebe Gorman Type D and the history and inspiration behind it. A great conversation about watches, the industry, and the passion behind bringing something new to the wrist.

While Marc stays home, Bob and Brent are off galavanting in Geneva. This is Bob's first trip to the land of chocolate and watches, while it's Brent's upteenth time. What are they looking forward to? What are their plans? How many Ferris wheel rides will they go on? All is covered here. Rest assured, the Toronto Timepiece Show is around the corner, and the 3 Amigos (with Marc as Steve Martin in this trio) will be back together in person then.

We've been working to bring guests from outside our nerdosphere, and honestly, we thought we had our first one with Louis Amanti. But it turns out that, despite being handsome and talented, he's just like us. We sure hope you enjoy this episode. Louis' charm won us over. I'm sure he will win you over, too.

Unfortunately, we experienced our first guest "no-show," and as professional podcasters, we took it in stride and interviewed each other for an hour. In all seriousness, we are far from professional, but we made the best of it. Our guest had an unfortunate scheduling conflict, and we've already rescheduled him for the next episode, as of this writing. In the meantime, please enjoy Brent and Marc shooting the proverbial poop.
