53: Underwater Adventures with the CWC Royal Navy Diver & Other Stories
The Time 4A Pint Podcast
Much of the watch collecting hobby, is about enablement.
info_outlineFor episode 63 of the Time 4A Pint Podcast, I got together with Toronto based Justin Mastine-Frost. Outgoing editor in chief of watchuseek.com and fitrated.com, and brand new Director of Digital Content for Sharp Magazine, Canada’s foremost luxury publication.
Justin and I first got to hang out in November of 2020, when he and fellow guest Aldis Hodge joined me and Mat for our 15th Virtual GTG (which you can check out on YouTube). Justin was not messing about that day, and brought some serious horological heat, in the form of an Arnold and Son Nebula.
Which as anyone who’s scrolled through Justin’s Instagram account will tell you, is just one fascinating piece in a hugely varied collection that spans high end to affordable, and mainstream to independent.
I had no idea what Justin was going to bring along today, but I knew that whatever it was, it would be interesting. And colourful. Or grey. Or both.
You can find pictures and reference numbers of all the watches that we talked about on the Time 4A Pint website.
