Episode 37: Braving Looking Like A Fool & Desmosedicis (with Sylvain Berneron)

Erik & Max finally sync up with Sylvain Berneron to discuss his watches and just why they're being received so distinctly to anything else in the independent space right now. However, the chat doesn't just revolve around Berneron the brand, but Sylvain as a collector, the difficulty of branching out on your own, motorcycles, mid-century Patek, and, yes, even that fracas at Geneva Watch Days. This is the most casual, wide-ranging discussion with Sylvain you'll find, we hope you enjoy.
