A Tale of Two Wristies
The podcast where watch talk feels like late-night café conversation. Join Chris—a U.S.-based watch writer, poet, and comic book creator—and Iman, a playwright from London, as they navigate time zones, trade horological hanky-panky, and share stories about everything from writing to dog ownership.
