In this episode, they explore how those same qualities appear in the world of horology, where craftsmanship, engineering, and personal connection often matter more than the name on the dial.Dr. Patel shares how his interest in watches began during residency, when he first noticed the quiet bond that certain pieces could create among those who recognized them.
