Ep #34: Watch Banter, The Formex Essence Skye, and Watch Shows - With Rikki Daman From Scottish Watches
Listen to full episode :
In this very special episode, the CP7 Boys are joined by Rikki Daman from the stellar Scottish Watches Podcast.
It was a great day to record the show, as not only did Scottish Watches just release their latest collaboration with cool Swiss brand Formex, the Essence Skye that very day, but the banter is off the chart from the get go!
Scottish Watches is the most popular watch podcast right now (apart from CP7 of course!) and was started by Rikki in 2019 whilst a complete newbie in the watch world. Hear about how, in that short time, Scottish Watches have collaborated with multiple brands including Swatch and H. Moser & Cie and become the juggernaut they are now, and what exactly is the real story behind the H.Moser x Scottish Watches collaboration Streamliner (or Memeliner as Rikki calls it). Was it really an April Fool's joke? Find out here.
It ended in 2019, but the boys find out about the the old Basel World and the difference between that, and today's premier watch show event, Watches & Wonders. Have they both been surpassed by Dubai Watch Week?
So buckle up and enjoy the ride as the boys and Rikki shoot the breeze, banter each other, and talk watches in this special show.
