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.

This episode is sponsored by Breitling. Head into your local boutique to check out the new Navitimer, or head to breitling.com and buy it online.
