A wildly entertaining conversation with Richard (@RicoSuaveBolla).  We talk about his life, social media, his short story and a wonderful Watch Fam meet up experience he had in Italy.  Special Favor: My wife thinks I'm crazy for essentially giving away a book I spent nearly two years creating, especially when I still have hundreds of hard copies collecting dust in my garage. If you liked what you heard here and want to support me, I humbly ask the following:1. Leave a warm review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/discovering-time/id1481489199">The Discovering Time podcast</a>2. Buy a physical copy of my book on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Time-stories-collector-community/dp/1532386451/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8">Amazon </a>and maybe leave a nice review there as well.Thank you!

A Chance Encounter with Grandpa

"Discovering Time: Stories from a collector community” takes readers on a humorous, unusual and illuminating look into the global subculture of watch collecting. It shares a series of themed short-stories that breathes intimate perspective into a relatively clandestine and fiercely loyal community. At the heart of these stories, readers will be exposed to the phenomenon of “watch meet-ups” where complete strangers from all over the world gather to share their interest in timepieces, which often evolve into lifelong friendships. From local dive bars to exclusive exotic locations, socioeconomic barriers are cast aside and friendships forged, all in the mutual love of horology.
