Ep #42: The Spirit of Adventure and Tool Watches with Huiy Tang From RZE Watches
Listen to full episode :
Join us as we talk to Huiy Tang, Co-Founder and the marketing maestro behind RZE Watches.
Assembled for adventure since 2020, RZE has been building timepieces for the everyday adventurer, pushing boundaries in quality and value again and again. Greatly inspired by the use of titanium in the aerospace industry for its strength, weight and look, and being a brand so competitively priced in its target market we find out how such stylish, durable and functional watches can be created at these highly competitive price points.
Hear how Huiy shares that spirit of adventure that he loves, and how he’d rather live the simple life, and appreciate the great outdoors with the pursuits it brings, rather than buy that big house and Lamborghini, which is a mindset that impressively flows through the other founders of the brand, Travis and Clarence. Huiy also explains why the tool watch market is the perfect choice for RZE, with a keen association with sustainability projects such as Canada’s Project Forest which sets out to rewild Canada’s local landscape, and a range of outdoor activity and highly durable tools and products.
So put on your best outdoor adventure gear, and lace up your boots, so you can buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk to Huiy from this very unique and cool brand.
