Same as last year, we review our year in watches, share some recommendations, and even dive into predictions. It's so much fun hanging out together, and it's even more fun having you join us. Remember, the conversation continues on our Discord Community. See the link below!

It's that time of year again—time for our annual Q&A with guest host Dan Mann, aka The Dansome. We had a great time answering all your questions and want to thank everyone for sending them in. Sorry we ran long with this episode, but we're beginning to enjoy this longer format. We hope you do too.

An old friend of Marc's stops by for a visit; he also happens to be one of America's top watchmakers and the founder of RGM Watches. This conversation was as entertaining as it was educational. Take a trip with us down memory lane, sit back, and enjoy!
