Welcome to Openwork: A Look Inside the Watch Industry Jan 13, 2024

Yes, another watch podcast. But the idea here is to do something different and distinct. Before we ever worked a day in the watch industry, we were both enthusiasts and collectors. So as we’ve moved through the industry over the last five years, it's been eye opening. We’ve gained a new perspective on watches from going inside the industry. And that’s really the goal of this podcast: To give you an unfiltered view into the inner workings of the watch industry.
