In this episode we discuss the 3 C's that you need to start a watch brand today – Creativity, Capital, and Contacts.

Listen in as we discuss the challenges of starting a watch brand, the evolution/pros and cons of crowdfunding, and the relentless pursuit of innovation in a post-Kickstarter, post-AI world.
