What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been a happy Topper customer for a few years and they are by far my favorite place to buy watches. Rob is a wealth of knowledge and hearing more details about the rationale behind the Topper collaborations and limited editions has been super cool. Great to hear from Russ and Zach too. Hi Zach from a fellow former Michigander.

Rob, Russ and Zach bring a high level of knowledge, but also keep it fun and engaging. They go deeper than just the latest news. Guests have been really interesting. Definitely worth subscribing!

Danhdav · Aug 2023

This is what it sounds like when watch enthusiasts actually know their stuff inside and out. The crew behind the mic offers an embarrassment of riches when it comes to watches; brands, media, design, retail. All delivered with the genuine love of watches and an esprit de corps that ultimately carries the day in this format. Rob, Russ and Zach have created one of the best environments for watch enthusiasts anywhere at Toppers Jewelers in Burlingame, CA. They have recreated a slice of it with the Burlingame & Park podcast. Blaine T.
