Keeping Seconds

by Michael Berrios

Keeping Seconds is a podcast about watches — and everything around them. Hosted by Michael Berrios & Noah Williams, the show looks at watches from two different sides: how they’re designed, developed, priced, and brought to market — and how they’re actually worn, collected, photographed, discussed, and understood once they enter the real world. Expect thoughtful conversations about brands, design, collecting, watch culture, business, style, and the people shaping the industry. We don’t need to read you another press release. We’re more interested in why a watch works, why it doesn’t, and the decisions that made it what it is.
