Great episode, great watches. I like Jason’s attitude towards watches (and life). A good man. I’m also halfway through Depth Charge and it really is excellent.
Came back to this after getting into the Grey Nato pod that Jason hosts with James Stacey. So happy I did, so awesome to see, hear and learn about his collection as well as conservation.
Two cool guys having a laid back and interesting conversation. What's not to love? The only thing that could have improved this is some whisky or other fine spirit to go with those watches. Great stuff!
I’ve been following Jason for many years now on IG and he always talks about his watches and adventures. He always describes them in his captions, but to hear first hand the stories of his watches, was something else! Great interview!
I have noted that the talking watches fall into either collectors with watches that are just interesting in their own right or amazing people's watches that are interesting due to places and event that it has been in. This was one talking watches that I felt had interesting watches and they have been in cool places and events. Kind of best of both worlds!
Cracking episode, one of my favourite for sure. I have listened to every TGN episode (perhaps on several occasions) and every time Jason talks I find him so charming to listen to. Fascinating, genuine and very passionate. It’s a pleasure to watch this episode. Many congratulations on Depth Charge also. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Bravo gents.
Diving with vintage dive watches is very cool and super rare (understandably) This is a great talking watches. Agree that Jack should be *the* talking watches guy.
Goodness I need to get my dive watch wet. Scurfa Diver One 500m with helium escape valve. And I feel better about having a diver on a bund strap. Fabulous interview. Cheers.
When I got my submariner I had never worn a watch in the water. After getting this watch I went on my honeymoon and did some snorkeling in the Florida keys and wore my sub for that adventure. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in nature. Seeing all the different fish and life under the water and being able to keep track of how long we had been out there and seeing the watch under the water was completely different than it being on wrist for daily life.
This is a perfect example of what will your watches say about you in the end? The collection came from a need to tie in to what loves and not from what others think is cool to have.
