Watches w/ Sami Shah

What Shall We Do About...?

Do you own a watch? And if so, is it on your wrist, or in sitting a drawer somewhere? As this podcast looks to solve the world's less pressing problems - this week we ask the question, what shall we do about watches? According to Guinness World Records, the timepiece jewellery was first invented in 1868, but more recently there's been a decline in popularity because we all carry around phones with clocks on it (that also provide no risk of the dreaded watch tan). To go deeper on the history, and future, of the watch, I caught up with comedian and writer Sami Shah, who is a big fan, and collector, of the wristwatch. Sami is on Twitter @SamiShah and you can see more of Sami's work at thesamishah.com.
