Listen "EP23: It Came From Outer Space"

Episode Synopsis

How does a chunk of iron that once hurtled through space over a million years ago end up as a tiny sliver in the dial of a modern Omega Constellation watch?
This week, the boys of Burlingame are taking a deep dive into meteorite dials – where they come from, how they're made, and just what we love about them. However, along the way, we gladly digress with a conversation on subtleties in case design from Grand Seiko, share first impressions of the Fears Redcliff in the metal, and a whole lot more.
As always, thanks for listening – we hugely appreciate your support, and love getting emails with questions or comments: [email protected]
