The Wristies accept accountability for their collecting habits. Adored pieces were sold, grails were acquired, and love was traded away. Will either of these enthusiasts conquer their disease?

WRISTIES WATCH GLOSSARY & RECOMMENDATIONS

Before we jump into this episode, I need everyone listening to take a moment and help me celebrate someone truly special: my co-host, my friend, my accidental platonic soulmate in horological chaos, Iman. We’ve only known each other for about two years, but something shifted when we met in person back in March 2025. A chance meeting turned into a real friendship. I never saw it coming, and then suddenly, I couldn’t imagine my life without it. She just celebrated her 39th birthday, and if there’s anyone who deserves a standing ovation from our Wristies audience, it’s her. She’s edited every episode but one, poured herself into this show, and opened her heart to all of you with a generosity that humbles me. I like to normalize telling your friends you love them, and as someone who is usually emotionally guarded, it still surprises me how quickly I loved Iman. She’s my family. I look forward to the many occasions I can celebrate her moving forward, but please join me in celebrating her now.
