For when the minutes drag...

Sometimes, the best friendships begin when you least expect them!

Late last year, Amit dropped by Tasty Burger in Harvard Square after some late night networking, noticed the Breitling on manager Vance's wrist, and struck up a conversation. Little did he know that a shared passion for watches would turn into a wonderful friendship.

In this episode of For When the Minutes Drag, Amit and Vance talk about how they met, what sparked his interest in watches, and what made him trust Amit enough to work with him just a couple of months after their first encounter.

They also discuss flipping burgers while wearing a Tissot PRX, Vance's decision to order the incredible new Longines HydroConquest back in April, and the excitement of finally taking delivery last week.

From burgers and Breitlings to Longines and lasting friendships, they cover all that and so much more!

Because sometimes, a watch does more than tell time. It brings people together!
