...Because why not?
The boys are all back in Burlingame, and resting up for a busy few weeks of the WindUP and First Look show events. And this week, we have not one, but two very special guests in the studio, each making their debut on the pod. First up, we have none other than Rob and Russ' mother Shelly sharing a very special Mother's Day message, followed by our pal (and new Friend of the Pod ™️ Michael Fratangelo, National Sales Manager of Bremont to shed a little light on the new Supernova collection, and why this watch is headed to the moon with Astrolabs later this year.
