Summary: Exploring the relationship between watches and adventure, the boys dig into tool watches, brand sponsorships, ambassadors, and more. As the format of the modern tool watch continues to evolve, the concepts become more and more tied to the few that are out there looking for real adventures. From Omega with the Apollo program, Rolex with the high and low points of our terrestrial home, and several other brands looking to explore and preserve everything in between, the adventure is real and there are likely some watches involved along the way. Also in this episode, James recounts his experience at the Monaco Grand Prix with TAG Heuer and Jason packs his bags for Wales. Stay in the mix for a solid set of final notes that will keep you listening, well-caffeinated, and maybe even supporting a worthy new watchmaking project.
