OT: The Podcast14 Huhti 2022

Zoe Abelson (@watchgirloffduty) on life as a watch dealer, and always being on duty

Zoe Abelson, AKA @watchgirloffduty, is one of the internet's best-known watch dealers. With a feed comprising of colourful, quirky watches in often exotic locales, it's easy to assume that being an international watch dealer is a non-stop glamour fest. And while Zoe doesn't exactly disprove the notion, she tells us about the decade of non-stop work in some of the world's most well-respected watch businesses that led her to step out on her own and start Graal Limited. We also find out about the finer points of sourcing a specific watch, as well as what sort of requests she can't stand. All that, plus a dash of F1 and a spritz of Spice Girls, make this an unmissable episode.
