In a bit of a first, this week is a philosophical rumination. What does it really mean to be into watches and why the hell should any of us be where we are? If you want to be a professional and make it a career, what options are available to you? And what’s the difference between a dealer and a retailer anyway? Erik &amp; Max attempt to answer and so much more. Plus, if you’re bartending and want to start conversations, what watch should you wear?
