Right Whales and the Right Watches

EPISODE 06:

A surprise sighting of endangered Right Whales off the Gulf Coast sets the tone for a conversation about design, legacy, and the things that surface when we’re paying attention.

In this episode, Marc shares the details of spotting these elusive giants near the Florida-Alabama coastline — a reminder that even in familiar places, surprises can arise when you least expect them. From there, the conversation drifts into watch territory, including a deep dive into Lorier — a modern brand designing watches that feel like new old stock. We talk about what sets them apart from legacy brands, and why their focus on enthusiast-driven design feels refreshingly intentional.

And speaking of surprises, Aaron makes an impulsive watch purchase that sparks a conversation about so-called “boring watches” — understated, versatile pieces that might just be the most wearable of them all.
