EP20: Our Top Secret “Project Shovel” with Nicholas Bowman-Scargill

The boys are back! We're kicking off our inaugural 2024 recording with a very special guest, and an equally special Topper Edition: the launch of our Fears Series II Capsule, codename "Project Shovel" by our good friend Nicholas Bowman-Scargill. Nicholas will be joining on this episode to take us through the inspiration and development of each of the four watches in the capsule, which pivots around a weeklong trip through some of our favorite places in Northern California. So settle in, pour yourself a cup of tea and be sure to explore the capsule collection right here before they're gone! —— Follow the boys on Instagram: • Russ: @russcaplan • Rob: @robcaplan_topper • Zach: @zachxryj —— Here are the watches featured in this week's wristcheck:  • Zach: Panerai Radiomir 1940 ref.
