Ep. 01 - Tim Jackson (Passion Fine Jewelry / Independent in Time)

Tim Jackson is the owner of Passion Fine Jewelry, one of the most preeminent independent watch dealers in all of Southern California. We chat about what it's like growing up in England as well as migrate to a sleepy little beach town selling watches by brands that may only produce 10 watches per year. We talk about the retail space, its implications, and the watch industry as a whole. Why are some of these watches so expensive? Well, we talk about that. If you're a fan of shopping from independent stores, and especially if you're into independent watches, you definitely don't want to miss this.  Website Links: Passion Fine Jewelry Independent in Time Instagram Links for Tim: @passionfinejewelry @independentintime Links to the Watch Brands Mentioned: Habring2 Voutilainen Rexhep Rexhepi Roger Smith Sarpaneva Speake-Marin Lang & Heyne  A.
