New York Standard Time

Unsurprisingly, Aaron adds another watch to the collection during wrist check before we head east with Marcos for a recent trip to Washington, D.C. and New York City.

What starts as a tag-along trip quickly becomes something more. Marc shares highlights from introducing Rachel to New York for the very first time... from bagels, Cuban food, and a city buzzing after the Knicks finally won it all, to an unexpectedly emotional evening at the Broadway production of Buena Vista Social Club.

Of course, there were watches along the way. They talk about visits to Time+Tide Watches, Grand Central Watch, and Windup Watch Shop, along with the pieces that stood out most, including the 'Charcoal Rose' Fears Brunswick 38, an unexpected field watch from Studio Underd0g, and a vintage-inspired 34mm field watch from Benrus that Marc is convinced will eventually find its way onto Aaron's wrist.

More than anything, though, this episode is about returning to a place that still feels like home, sharing it with someone you love, and appreciating that whether you're in a tiny watch shop, a crowded event, or chatting across a display case, the best part of this hobby is still the people.
