Collector And Influencer Georgia Benjamin Talks Cartier, Creativity, & Cortados

Plus we've got some unusual complications, an ideal everyday watch or two, and a hobby to help us slow down a little.

I honestly can’t remember when I first met Georgia Benjamin. She’s one of those people where it feels like they’ve been a part of the watch community forever – and I mean that in the best way possible. All I know is that we met sometime between my moving to LA in 2020 and her moving (back) to New York in 2024, and I dug her approach to watches (amongst other things) immediately. Zero pretentiousness and zero BS, just fun and excitement backed up by really knowing her stuff. That’s a winning formula right there.

I knew before Justin and I launched The Enthusiasts that Georgia would make an early appearance here, and she’s delivered. This week we’ve got her answers to our 20 Questions & 10 Favorites questionnaire, full of exactly the kinds of surprises you’d hope for. I won’t spoil any of it here, but I think it does a nice job capturing the kind of personal perspective and taste that make people like Georgia such an awesome part of this hobby and community (if I may say so myself).

Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom, too, where we’ve got a handful of fun, idiosyncratic watches found around the web, along with the things we’re enthusiastic about this week. Back at you next week with a great pod episode. Until then, ✌️

Best,
Stephen
