First up, we have none other than Rob and Russ' mother Shelly sharing a very special Mother's Day message, followed by our pal (and new Friend of the Pod ™️ Michael Fratangelo, National Sales Manager of Bremont to shed a little light on the new Supernova collection, and why this watch is headed to the moon with Astrolabs later this year.
