Kathleen and Adam sit down with Kelly Yoch, one of the most knowledgeable voices in horology, to talk about her path from Hamilton Jewelers in Princeton, NJ to the Patek Philippe Salon at Tiffany and now Altier Jewelers in Boca Raton, FL. Kelly shares how she got into watch and jewelry retail after realizing she could build a career around what she genuinely loves, and lays out her philosophy on what makes luxury retail actually work: training, human connection, training, and a culture that treats every visitor with respect.

Musician and writer Charlie Rauh joins Kathleen to talk about his journey in watches, building his collection starting from a random purchase to choosing new pieces based on heritage, craftsmanship, and personal milestones. From his first Longines Legend Diver to the Grand Seiko he bought while on tour in Japan and Korea, Charlie discusses his preference for manual-wind, time-only watches and closed case backs, and why the meaning a watch carries for its owner can matter more than its specs. Kathleen and Charlie also explore watch size and gender labels, the heirloom value of an engraved JLC Reverso, and the people and experiences that make collecting rewarding.
