Episode 3: Pride! Nomos, Zenith, Tudor and Norqain - what does gender have to do with watches?
Manage episode 490908073 series 3667364
It’s Pride Month! Join the Wristies as they show off their NWAs, celebrate individuality and talk about the right to be seen exactly as they are. This episode dives into how themes of identity and gender expression show up in the watch community, and how well (or not) the industry reflects the diversity of the world around it. Plus, the Wristies have a little fun with some horological gender-bending before laying down justice with an inaugural round of Watch Crimes! Maybe the most fun recurring segment yet!
