Morning OF!

Episode 37 of the Time 4A Pint Podcast is Live! - This week I was out in Karlsruhe, Germany, for the Chrono24 get together, and through a mix of good luck, good timing, and other people being much more organised, got to sit down with Eric Wind for a chat.

Hear how Eric went from being an enthusiastic amateur, to regular contributor for Hodinkee, to Vice President, Senior Specialist of Watches at Christie's New York, and is now running his own vintage watch business, Wind Vintage.

Oh, and we talked about some of his watches too!

Watches on this week's show:

• Gallet "Jim Clark" Multichron 12
• Heuer Carrera 2447N
• Vulcain Cricket
• Tudor Prince Oysterdate Ranger (two of them!)
• 1961 Rolex 1675 GMT-Master
• Omega Speedmaster 145.012-67 "Ultraman"

Listen Now.

I’m not going to sit by the phone... 😉

Seriously though, That column was highlighting (mostly) great stuff from out in the market, and profiling it/it’s sellers. Which would be in direct conflict with their new business model. And I suspect also why they killed it off.

Excellent espisode as usual. Amazed how quickly he went from his first “proper watch” to running a successful vintage business. There’s hope for us all!
