Tony Fadell (Entrepreneur, "Father Of The iPod")

This week, we sit down with entrepreneur, "father of the iPod", and Talking Watches alum Tony Fadell. As a watch collector, Tony is interested in both classic vintage and boundary pushing modern watches. And speaking of pushing boundaries, he's a collaborator with watchmaker Ressance on their e-Crown project. In this episode we talk about the development of the e-Crown, his own history in watch collecting, and what he thinks the watch industry needs to do to survive in the 21st century. Enjoy.
