A Tale of Two Wristies is a podcast where watch talk feels like a late-night café conversation. It is hosted by Chris, a U.S.-based watch writer, poet, and comic book creator, and Iman, a playwright from London. Together they navigate time zones, trade horological banter, and share stories that range from writing to dog ownership. The show blends casual conversation with a shared enthusiasm for watches.

What do you think of the collections we chose? PLUS at a Watch Crimes segment where Iman goes banana pancakes on Gallet for omitting a commonly used city on a world timer; and Chris goes full cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over the reductive mindset of t...
