Time 2 Calibrate

This week, we’re joined by Kat Shoulders, industry voice and friend of the show, for a candid conversation on watches, creativity, and the passion that fuels the community. From personal collecting journeys to broader perspectives on the industry, Kat brings insight, authenticity, and a fresh take to the discussion. We are so pleased to finally have her on the show, and after listening, you will likely be upset that we did not bring her on sooner.

Saying we're big fans of Mike's work would be an understatement. We spent nearly two hours with Mike, and we probably could have spent another two. He is as humble as he is intelligent, and we think we might have made a friend in the process. We really hope you enjoy the show!
