Everett

Everett is a PNW native, and dyed in the wool hobbyist at-large. Always fascinated with a challenge, over the years Everett has taken on juggling, sewing, bowling, marathon running, fly-fishing (and tying), photography, advanced cribbage strategy, and the Rubik’s cube. Everett got into watches in 2015 after spying a colleague’s Tag Heuer 2000 at happy hour. It quickly became apparent to him that the media-space for affordable watches was seriously limited. Sitting on his couch one evening, scouring threads to find a dress watch, Everett messaged his best-friend, and budding watch enthusiast, Andrew, and said, “I want to start a watch podcast.” Andrew, an action-man and serial hobbyist himself, was in. the rest, as they say, is history.
