It's here! New podcast day! For the very first episode of The Enthusiasts, we start things off by telling you a bit about who we are and why we're making this show in the first place. Then we do a deep dive into the new watch releases kicking off 2025 (11:29) from Louis Vuitton and Greubel Forsey to IWC and Tudor. Then we share a bit of our personal backgrounds and chat about what the watch community means to each of us (52:15) before wrapping things up with something we're each enthusiastic about this week (1:18:07). Thanks so much for giving this a listen and we hope you enjoy the show!
To subscribe, please visit theenthusiasts.net and choose either a monthly or annual plan. This first episode is free, but going forward this will be a subscriber-only show with bi-weekly episodes and newsletters on the off weeks. We're super excited to build this community and hope you'll come along for the ride.
