Ep. 161 - Blake Simon (Kruk Designs)

I believe I first learned about Kruk design via the algorithm on Instagram. Needless to say, it sure has me pegged. Through friends at Walt Grace Vintage in Miami, I was introduced to today’s guest, the founder and one-man-band behind Kruk Designs, Blake Simon. If you’re familiar with the tartan plaids, woven leathers, and houndstooth-clad watch rolls, then you may already be familiar with the brand. The son of an entrepreneur, Blake co-founded Horus Watch Straps while still in college, only to set out on his own to begin making his own line of luxury leather goods. Blake shares the advice his father has given him, as well as the cars and watches that are near and dear to his heart. Blake and I quickly realized we are certainly birds of a feather, and this was one of the few in-person interviews I’ve done in a while, so it’s safe to say we had a blast. I hope you enjoy it.

STANDARD H Round Table 3

Today brings us to Round Table 3. Sadly, the third member of this conversation had an emergency, so he couldn't make it - perhaps we'll host him another time! Instead, I welcome back Raymond Milnarik to the show where we discuss a litany of Maintenance issues for us both. Stay tuned for our hot takes and things aside from cars and watches we've been into lately!

Ep. 160 - Cameron Barr (Craft + Tailored)

For one reason or another, some podcasts end up taking years to record, and today’s is no exception. That’s right, years,  making this episode long overdue, and hosts an  inevitable guest, Cameron Barr. You probably know him as Craft + Tailored  online, and I know him as someone with whom I arguably have far too much in common. He is a cool, calm and collected vintage watch dealer, so naturally, I wondered what stresses him out. We highlight our affinity for those cars from Stuttgart, but not before we discuss his home several miles away from downtown Los Angeles, the area where he long called home and his office still resides. So, today is architecture, cars, watches, and Cam.

Ep. 159 - Justin Placek (Custom Porsche Interiors)

This was one of my favorite episodes. Justin Placek, known for his unbelievably beautiful seat inserts for 911s, is my kind of guy. Obsessed with detail, striving for perfection, but understanding life is short. I thoroughly enjoyed his story-telling and he really has some to tell. I’m particularly fond of how his business has evolved and the ethics with which he operates. If you’re a fan of STANDARD H, you’re going to love Justin, so please enjoy it.

STANDARD H Round Table 2

Today brings you the second episode of the STANDARD H Round Table and it features two great friends: Trevor Wynn of Pare Pare Podcast and Wes Wynne of Collectors Corner NY! That's right: two Wesleys and two Wynn(e)s...who woulda thunk it?! I'm excited to release this chat as we are all devoted car and watch enthusiasts and not too dissimilar tastes! In this episode, Trevor finally gets to vent some frustrations (ha!), as well as share what he's selling...and hunting! Wes shares a new (incredible) watch acquisition as well as discusses the car that seems to make him want to sell it from time to time. All this and more in today's podcast...thanks for listening!

Conversation with Blake Buettner & Wilhelm Schmid (A. Lange & Söhne)

This week, my good friend Blake and I are coming to you with a special interview episode! That’s right, we are interrupting our Formula 1 action, and with very good reason, as we welcome Mr. Wilhelm Schmid, CEO of none other than A. Lange & Söhne! Wilhelm is someone I’ve been thoroughly eager to meet, so this conversation was especially exciting for me.Wilhelm is an incredibly engaging guest given the product he oversees, and as some of you may not be aware, he is deep into cars, more specifically as a vintage car enthusiast. As a result, Blake and I are thrilled to welcome him, not only to get to know him a bit more, but also introduce a new watch making its debut at the Concourse of Elegance Germany at Lake Tegernsee. We are excited to share stories about the watch and its collection within the A. Lange & Söhne catalog, and we can’t wait for more to come! Please enjoy our conversation with Wilhelm Schmid.

Ep. 158 - Kenneth Lam (Arken Watches)

Kenneth Lam and I met at the Toronto Timepiece Show last September when he stopped by my booth. After chatting getting a closer look at what was on his wrist, I knew I wanted to learn more. I’m excited to host Ken and give him the space to share his design philosophies and approach to his watch brand, Arken, as it’s somewhat of a David versus Goliath story as so many micro brands are. I hope you enjoy it.

Ep. 157 - Chris Grainger-Herr (CEO IWC Watches)

It’s widely known I’m a huge IWC fan, and today’s episode is one I’ve looked forward to for years at this point as it hosts Chris Grainger-Herr, IWC’s Chief Executive Officer since 2017. I was fortunate to cross paths with Chris back in April when I was a guest of the brand at the Goodwood Members event. After being introduced, we shared some time chatting cars while eating hamburgers and watching vintage cars lap the track. Pretty surreal to be quite honest. An architect and interior designer by trade, Chris and I chat about his ascension within the company, having started in marketing only to begin designing stores. We discuss his relationship with Toto Wolf, his most worn watch and of course his grail car.

Ep. 155 - Bill Goldstein (Walt Grace Vintage)

Given my affinity for Porsche, Adam Golden of Menta Watches told me ages ago about Walt Grace Vintage, the vintage guitar and automotive gallery and cafe in Miami. He graciously connected me with its founder, Bill Goldstein, and I was incredibly fortunate to share the space for an event last month.Though Bill is one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable people in the guitar and car world, I later learned he was into watches as well, which made him only more appropriate to be featured on this show.To me, his story is mesmerizing, and even from across the country, seeing him go from strength to strength has been inspiring. I’m thankful to host Bill today, and please note this is actually part 1 of 2, so I’m excited to share it with you.

F1 Podcast w Blake Buettner - Miami 2025

Happy Thursday everybody and welcome back to another F1 podcast with me, Wesley Smith as well as Blake Buettner. Blake and I chat about our recent travels - me to Goodwood and he to the Miami Grand Prix. This was a really fun chat. We talk watches a little bit more than usual, which I think might be a thru-line going forward, and then we recap the race there in Miami. These are fun episodes, so I’m excited to share it with you. Stay tuned for more as well as a potential live event - we would love to hear from you, so shoot us an email &/or send us DM’s and let us know what you think about the prospect of hosting one!

Ep. 153 - Jefferson Shallenberger (Sugar Percussion)

As someone who plays drums, naturally, I follow several drummers. It was when @sterloid posted a particular snare that I reached out to today’s guest, Jefferson Shallenberger, founder of Sugar Percussion. We chat drum building, Sugar’s beginnings and process, Jefferson’s time spent building furniture, and we even dig into his internal work which has affected every relationship he shares. We wrap things up discussing a very special watch and the story behind the two unique cars in his garage - one hosts an incredibly beautiful steering wheel made from Claro Walnut, Ebony and Holly.

Currently there are what feels like a thousand ways to buy a watch. Authorized dealers. Multi-brand boutiques. In-person auctions. Online auctions. Online Dealers.
