Ep. 77 - A Man's Guide To Wristwatches: How to Choose the Right Watch

Buy Like a Guy

In this episode we’re going to talk about watches with Tim Jackson, the Founder and Owner of Independent in Time. He deals in watches that are made by Independent Watchmakers from around the world. When it comes to watches, he knows his sh*t.

We talk about the basics of buying a "nice watch," the appeal of owning and collecting fine watches, the different kinds of movements, and ultimately, what you should look for when you’re shopping for a fine quality watch.

Key Takeaways:

• Buying a watch is often about more than just telling time; it can be a form of self-expression and a way to communicate personal style.
• There are different types of watch movements, including mechanical (self-winding) and quartz (battery-powered), each with its own advantages and characteristics.
• Determining the quality of a watch can be subjective, but factors such as price, reputation, and craftsmanship can be indicators of a well-made timepiece.
• The watch industry has a wide range of brands and styles to suit different tastes and budgets, from classic and traditional designs to avant-garde and modern aesthetics.
• Marketing and brand reputation play a significant role in the perception and value of watches, with certain brands commanding higher prices due to their heritage and reputation for quality.
