EP40: Everything You Were Afraid to Ask About Spring Drive feat. Joe Kirk

The boys are back in the Biergarten watching our new mural come to life, and going deep on the complexity and technology powering the Grand Seiko Spring Drive movement. Once again, we're joined by our good pal Joe Kirk, Grand Seiko's Brand Curator who's got plenty of amazing insider insight on just what makes these movements so revolutionary. As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at [email protected]. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!
