Wrist Check Pod

This week we have some very special guests in the building: Rashad and Troy of Earn Your Leisure. We kick things off with a serious wrist check, including a Gold Sky-Dweller, an AP Royal Oak, and a new Parmigiani Fleurier. Rashad and Troy share how they first met, how they got into luxury watches, and the story behind the "Earn Your Leisure" name. They also tell us why they think the authorized dealer (AD) game is "wack" and how they got their hands on a black-owned watch brand from Ghana. Finally, they talk about building InvestFest and the importance of honoring Nipsey Hussle's legacy.

We’ve got the legendary Mach-Hommy on the pod this week. He brought out a serious piece, the Piaget Altiplano , and tells us why he loves both super thin watches and heavy ones like Breitling. Mach talks about his philosophy on art, explaining why he focuses on building lasting "bones" rather than chasing fleeting clout. We also get into the science of "flyness" and the challenges of dressing around a demanding watch. He even gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming music, including a new tape with August Fanon and a project with Black Thought.

James Brittain-McVey from The Vamps joins Perri and Rashawn to talk about how he got into watches through his father-in-law. He shares stories about touring with expensive watches, his custom Christopher Ward Bel Canto based on a 1962 Fender Stratocaster, and why he loves indie brands over the typical luxury flex pieces. James talks about his grail 1655 Explorer II, the importance of community in watches, and how collecting connects him with people outside the music world. He also discusses traveling with watches, his take on precious metals versus steel, and why the watch community reminds him of what he loves about being a musician.

Solomon Sounds and Birdman Zoe sit down with Perri and Rashawn to talk about their journey in the music industry and their love for #watches. These two record execs share stories about working with #XXXTentacion, having the biggest song in #SoundCloud history, and how they built their careers from the ground up. They talk about passing down watches to their kids, building traditions, and what success really means to them. Solomon breaks down his F.P. Journe élégante and why independent watchmaking matters, while Bird shares the story behind his Panda Daytona and what it represents in his career. It's a real conversation about friendship, legacy, and celebrating wins the right way.

This week, the one and only #FredSavage joins us. He talks about how he first got into #watches and why he loves vintage pieces. We get into his famous 'Talking Watches' and why he almost didn't do it. Fred shows off his beautiful vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and a fun new watch from Studio Underdog. He also tells us all about his new company, Timepiece Grading Specialists, which aims to bring more trust to buying pre-owned watches.
