Case in Point Podcast

This week, Aaron heads to Michigan to be there for his dad’s surgery—where a nurse sparks an unexpected watch conversation that offers a welcome distraction and a reminder of the surprising, generous community around this hobby. Marc and Felix take a softroading detour through the Rockies. Meanwhile, Marc’s helping his brother research his first mechanical watch (hello, Seiko 5 GMT). Back at the m...

Episode 7: In our first episode with guests, Aaron and Marc welcome Marc’s son Felix and longtime friend Brian for a special conversation about music, memory, and the things that connect us. We kick things off with a wrist check and a t-shirt check, then dive into stories of memorable concerts, favorite songs, and how the Grateful Dead has woven its way into our lives. Brian shares how the podcast...

Episode 6: 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.

From there,...

Episode 5: Marc recaps a quick Vegas trip to see Dead & Co with his old pal, John (not that John). Aaron's been deep in projects and rocking his G-Shock in the shop—plus a sobering visit to tornado-hit Eastern Kentucky. We eventually get to watches: Marc’s on a “one-watch collection” kick again, inspired by John's watch (still not that John), and Aaron’s circling the idea of a perfec...

They also dive into recent watches that have caught their attention, including the new Tudor Black Bay Pro, which sparks memories of a...

Episode 3: In this episode, Marc and Aaron explore the meaning behind milestone watches. Aaron recently celebrated his daughter’s graduation with their extended family, marking the moment by gifting her a watch box he made and an heirloom Seiko. The conversation turns to family stories, sentimental pieces—including a watch worn daily for over 60 years—and the idea of owning just one watch (a nice...

Episode 2: Since Episode 1 dropped, Marc made a work trip to Kentucky and stayed with Aaron — this time with his son Felix along for the ride. Felix had a front-row seat when Aaron started making his very serious case that dive watch depth ratings are basically irrelevant... all while proudly wearing his Seiko Tuna rated for 300 meters. He caught the hypocrisy immediately.  Meanwhile, Aaron’s wife...

Episode 1: In blogging, "Hello World" typically refers to the default blog post that is automatically created during installation, as a placeholder. In this episode we share a bit of our backstory—who we are, how we met, and how this interest in watches started. We talk about our first watches and passing them down to our kids. We're here telling time through stories AND specs. See...
