The Deep Track, Ep. 31 - The Wristorian
This week we welcome Justin, aka The Wristorian to the podcast. Justin is an amateur sleuth helping tell the real world stories behind the known and unknown watches through history. The Wristorian Instagram account documents moments in history with archival photos and documentation placing certain watches on the wrists of often influential or important figures. This work brings a rich context to these watches (and their stories) that is often missing from popular culture, and serves to bring awareness to the underrepresented or unrecognized. In this discussion, we talk about the work that goes into his research, and how it has shifted his perspective on watch enthusiasm.
