·Kinda cool to see the thing that started out with 10 of us getting drunk in a basement, is in today's New York Times!
Huge thanks to everyone who's even been to a Time 4A Pint event, listened to a podcast, or joined Mat and I for a virtual GTG.
'Watch enthusiasts who aren’t keen on casual chitchat might enjoy the weekly Time 4A Pint virtual events organized from London by Chris Mann and Mat Craddock. The 60-minute Sunday talks, which are named after the watch-centric pub events that Mr. Mann began in 2016, are like “a four-way podcast conversation with viewers,” said Mr. Craddock, known as #watchnerd on social media.
On a recent episode, the pair spoke with the Finnish watchmaker Kari Voutilainen and James Thompson, the Canadian designer of the jewelry company Black Badger, about treasured timepieces in their collections.
Unlike many collector events, which involve brand presentations designed to entice people to buy, the Time 4A Pint virtual get-togethers intentionally avoid any hint of promotion.
“The point of these things is hanging out with collectors and talking about things we’ve spent money on,” Mr. Mann said.'
I kinda thought we'd mastered casual chit chat (and nonsense). Maybe we're just organised? 😗
