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.Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_Walt Grace Vintagehttps://waltgracevintage.com/@waltgracevintage
