A Tale of Two Wristies
The podcast where watch talk feels like late-night café conversation. Join Chris—a U.S.-based watch writer, poet, and comic book creator—and Iman, a playwright from London, as they navigate time zones, trade horological hanky-panky, and share stories about everything from writing to dog ownership.

Episode 38: The Wristies Cast James Bond and The Watches They Would Wear - Plus New York Watch Week Recap and Wrist Candy
Episode 38
Show notes
If you could choose the next actor to play James Bond on the silver screen and carry the franchise forward, who would it be, and, perhaps more importantly, what would they be wearing on the wrist?! The Wristies give their top three choices and the watches they'd select. PLUS the return of Wrist Candy. AND a heartfelt thank you to our listeners for being upfront and cordial in their feelings and communications. It means a lot to us that you take the time to listen; know that we are listening to you, too.

Episode 35
Show notes
This week, the Wristies pull the ole switcheroo and do a Wristy Wrist Swap. Iman has to choose a six-watch collection as if she had Chris's 7.6in/19.3cm wrist, and Chris has to choose a six-watch collection as if he had Iman's 5.5in/14cm wrist. What do you think of the collections we chose?
PLUS at a Watch Crimes segment where Iman goes banana pancakes on Gallet for omitting a commonly used city on a world timer; and Chris goes full cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over the reductive mindset of the watch world's Voldemort.

This is the first of two episodes on our everyday carry items. In this episode, we talk about clothes and the stress of dealing with body dysmorphia. We chat about staples in our own wardrobes and our "must-haves". If you believe you have undiagnosed Body Dysmorphic Disorder, please consult a mental health professional. We both believe in therapy as a helpful tool for anyone. But here are some helpful resources.

Episode 30: New Watch Releases - Seiko, Formex, Christopher Ward, Breguet, Beaucroft, and more… Plus Watch N3W5!
Episode 30
Show notes
The Wristies get back to basics. No guests. No fluff. Just catching up on some of our favorite new watches, a couple of not-so-favorites, and some initial thoughts on the former AP CEO’s new brand.
***CORRECTION*** In this episode, we mention a collaboration between Venezianico and IFLW. We mistakenly attribute the work to the Dial Artist (Chris Alexander), and we have been informed that he has not worked with IFLW for quite some time. We apologize for the mix-up, but stand by the opinions on the watch itself. If you want to check out some of the great work the Dial Artist has been doing, check out the new Christopher Ward Twelve Xander HERE!***

Episode 28
Show notes
Chris's brother, Frank, is the person responsible for getting Chris properly into watches. Although Frank has stayed outside the global and online watch community, preferring to enjoy the hobby on his own. Iman and Chris ask him the important questions! How has that impacted his hobby? What watches are appealing? And what's it like not to be bombarded with watch posts on Instagram?!
**DISCLAIMER** Frank and Chris sound almost exactly alike and can even control each other's phones with their voices... so prepare to be confused.

Episode 19
Show notes
Nothing is perfect, and honestly, that’s half the fun. In this episode, the Wristies turn the loupe inward, digging into their own watch collections to celebrate what they love… and lovingly nitpick what could be better. It’s an honest, funny breakdown of why even our favorite watches aren’t flawless, and why we adore them anyway. Plus, WATCH NEWS: the Wristies choose a few of their favorite watches from the recent release of British Watchmaker's Day limited editions!
