Time 2 Calibrate Podcast is a about watch WISdom. The Oxford dictionary defines wisdom as the ability to make sensible decisions and give good advice because of experience and acquired knowledge. Unfortunately, it’s too late for sensible decisions; however, we’re not lacking in experience. As seasoned Canadian Watch Idiot Savants, we invite you to join us semi-weekly as we discuss the world of watches and the insensible decisions we make, so you don’t have to.

Rhonda is an author, editor, journalist, filmmaker, thrifter extraordinaire, and our friend. We were so happy when she agreed to sit in the hot seat, I mean, be our guest for this episode. We think you'll really enjoy it, and if you're lucky, you might bump into her at a local watch event near you.
