    Episode 29: With Guest, Gem Parker - Elliot Brown's 'Head of Winging It'- Women in Watches - PLUS - Watch Gender-Bending
    Jun 25 2026
    The Wristies welcome Gem Parker from Elliot Brown Watches. She discusses her background in the military, as well as her pursuits in art, rugby, and photography, and how these led her to watches. We also talk about how the watch industry is changing and how the "pink it and shrink it" era may be over for women's watches. ***ALSO, it's mentioned late in the episode, but please check out the Buying Time Foundation Watch Auction that ends July 14, 2026. Buying Time raises funds to support its partner charities that work with young people facing terminal illness.***00:01:18 - Introducing Gemma Parker, Head of Winging It, from Elliot BrownDevin Pennypacker - Time Well Spent Podcast00:05:04 - Wrist ChecksGem Parker’s Elliot Brown Bloxworth Heritage Diver in Drunk Tank PinkIman’s Elliot Brown Arne on a WatchGecko OctopodChris’s Elliot Brown Beachmaster Ghost (also on the sand strap)How to use the Beachmaster Mission Timer (because Chris and Iman still have no idea)Chris’s Brother’s Rolex Daytona Rolex Daytona Panda MemeThe Watch Your Mouth Jar Tally - (Iman mentioned the brand so much that we’re not sure it matters at this point)00:20:48 - Main Segment - Gem’s Story PLUS: Women in the Watch Industry 00:44:45 - Gem’s Sheroes!Marcella from Stella Watch CompanyAbingdon from Abingdon Watch Co.**Chris’s Article on Abingdon**Kathleen McGivney - CEO of RedBar GroupLucy - The Watchbox Diaries and Beaucroft WatchesSophie - Sophie’s Watch WorldEmily - Secret Diary of a Watch GirlOlivia from Christopher WardAnna - Chrono Girl LifeSophie Scott-Lewis - ArtistKatya “Boss Lady of British Watches” from the British Watch and Clockmakers Association **BUYING TIME FOUNDATION AUCTION Running through July 14, 2026**00:58:46 - Recurring Segment - Watch Gender-bending The original A Tale of Two Wristies Gender-bending Episode: Episode 3 from June 26, 2025Gem’s Pick: Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy 50th Anniversary Iman’s Pick: Panerai Luminor Destro in Blue PAM01732Chris’s Pick: Chanel Premiere Edition Originale WatchFollow us on the 'gram:You'll find us @ataleoftwowristiesChris is @poppingcrownsIman is @ticktick_taptapAnd most importantly, our mascot Phantom is @phantom_of_the_pupraJust starting the hobby?

    Episode 28: Special Guest, Frank (Chris's Brother), Joins The Wristies - Talks Timex to Rolex and Everything in Between
    Jun 11 2026

    Chris's brother, Frank, is the person responsible for getting Chris properly into watches. Although Frank has stayed outside the global and online watch community, preferring to enjoy the hobby on his own. Iman and Chris ask him the important questions! How has that impacted his hobby? What watches are appealing? And what's it like not to be bombarded with watch posts on Instagram?!

    **DISCLAIMER** Frank and Chris sound almost exactly alike and can even control each other's phones with their voices... so prepare to be confused.
