Times Like These
A podcast about watches, but even more so, about navigating life and trying to appreciate the small details along the way. Join four lifelong friends, now in their mid-40s, as they discuss timepieces, marriage, fatherhood, movies, sports, faith, food and drinks, and much more. Easy listening, fun, funny, personable.
We appreciate someone who builds a cocktail at home the same way it should be served at a bar. That's someone aware of the small details in life and that ultimately, we wear a nice watch or make a cocktail the right way, not to show off to others, but because we enjoy it ourselves. Welcome to Times Like These.
