Today, the F1 podcasts continue with my good friend, Blake Buettner. Blake and I decided it would be fun to do more than just one or two episodes for this year's racing calendar, and make it feel more like a season's worth of Special Episodes for both of our Podcast listeners. In this episode, we chat about the start of the season, the first two ra…

I tell you what - this podcast costs me a lot of money. I’m so enthralled with my guests and what they do I almost argue I’m required to buy more products as a result of these recordings. Today is an absolute testament to this as George Glasgow, Jr. is my guest today. George is the CEO of George Cleverley, a business his father, George Sr., took ov…

I have been thinking about how to bring something fresh to the STANDARD H Podcast. After all, what began as a weekly show, soon became only twice a month during COVID. That workflow worked well as it was less stressful, with fewer deadlines, but as I gained speed in the editing process, and things on the apparel side became more streamlined, I felt…

It’s highly likely you either know who Jeff Hilliard is, or you’re familiar with his work. And if you’re still coming up short, your favorite people in the style community have worked alongside him.

Stephen Pulvirent and I haven’t caught up in a while in person - he’s been busy with a newborn, I’ve been traveling and working on production stuff when in LA - so I invited him onto the show, somewhat selfishly, to see what he’s been up to. He recently launched a new venture with our good friend Justin Hast called The Enthusiasts, in addition to h…

No doubt, if you’ve been into watches for a while, Paul Boutros is a name that’s more than likely come up.

Not long ago, Ted Gushue posted a coffee maker on his instagram stories noting it was incredibly over engineered. He had me at coffee, but his description is what kept me hooked on the video. Perhaps a foregone conclusion, but as a man obsessed with details, I bought it. Weber Workshops' BIRD now serves as my go-to coffee maker every morning, and I…

As you may know, I’m a massive fan of A. Lange & Söhne, the watch brand based in Glashütte, Germany, and it doesn’t take long to encounter my guest’s website when doing any version of a deep dive on the brand. Alp Sever’s website, Langepedia, began as an Instagram page only to later evolve into the place to gain even more knowledge about these amaz…

Today’s guest is a special one. Christian Knoop is the Chief Design Officer of IWC, perhaps my favorite watch brand, and certainly my first love among them. Christian and I met a year ago at an event in their flagship boutique on Rodeo Drive, and he was kind enough to host me last April when I also toured the factory. Needless to say it was an incr…

I honestly don’t remember how I first heard of Junior’s or today’s guest, Glenn Au, but my guess is through Matt Hranek and/or his magazine, WM Brown. The point now, however, is that I have in fact heard of him, and even more importantly, as of October, I can now say I have visited him at his shop in Philadelphia. Glenn had somehow heard of me and/…

If you’ve ever listened to the podcast, Pare Pare, I think it goes without saying, its host Trevor Wynn and I have several interests in common.

The watch world is a funny place where even before you meet someone, it’s often you follow one another online knowing well you’d be friends even had you met at a bar down the street.

When you think of a magazine, you probably envision a fairly flimsy object comprised of ads making up 70% of its pages, and destined for the garbage having read it pool-side on your most recent vacation. Pete Stout’s magazine isn’t one of these. 000, the Porsche-centric publication Pete co-founded is far more of a book, and one more likely to perpe…
