Chatting With Watch World Guru - Adrian Hailwood. - Ep #22

This week, we were privileged to welcome a very special guest to Time To Unwind: Adrian Hailwood. Adrian is a well-known writer, speaker, journalist and watch valuer, and we really appreciate him spending some time with us. He’s got some fascinating insight from the world of watches – and also philosophy – as this week we continue the endless debate about form versus function. In other words, do you need a watch to look beautiful or merely functional? We could go on for hours about this, but thankfully for you we limit it to just one hour of fascinating listening. We hope, anyway…
