watches were my first love
and they will be my last

and watches of the past
Detailed show notes have been available in the past and will be available in the future.
For now we only have four geeks taking about watches of the past and the future.

Ocean to Orbit - David Dewitt
This interview is back from the Wristcheck event last year sadly due to the timing of the event we only managed to grab a few interviews and the audio isn’t perfect due to taking place during the event and us learning the microphones, This interview is with David Dewitt a long time Car Design serving a long stint at Ford Australia and most notably being known for his work on the Ford Ranger. While at Ford he met another fellow designer Sid who also happened to be a fellow watch nerd and after much discussion and playing around the two decided to make their fantasy a reality and start a watch brand together. I have to apologize profusely to David as we had started the interview and had been going for nearly 30 mins before I realised I had not hit record like a Muppet so we hop in a fair way into the discussion.
Thanks for David for chatting to us for 20 mins giving us more insight into how the automotive design industry works.
