Quality Time

Surprise! TRI is Launching a Podcast

The inaugural episode of Quality Time with Alec Dent and Hannah Yoest. Alec is writer and editor of the T.R.I. newsletter on Substack, covering the latest goings-on in the watch world, and is a former regular contributor to Worn & Wound. Hannah is his wife, a graphic designer, poet, artist, and fledgling watch enthusiast. In this first show, they get into their tastes in watches and what they predict for the industry in 2025: Roman numerals, boxy watches, and geometric designs. ~~~ SHOW NOTES: :43 - Alec's first watch: the Timex Expedition 1:38 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiT21kfgHO0&t=98s] - The Very Long Game, Iva Dixit’s latest in WSJ https://www.wsj.com/style/fashion/are...
