Brent and Marc sit down with Mitchell Wein, the President of Marathon Watch Company, a proudly Canadian brand known for producing highly durable watches for militaries worldwide, as well as for civilian collectors. This episode is a bit lengthy, but trust me, by the end, you’ll wish it were even longer. What an amazing gentleman!
