  • Ronnie Fieg, and the company he founded, Kith, is likely no stranger to anyone here. He was, in fact, featured in Volume 3 of Hodinkee magazine as one of the great collectors of footwear in this world. Today, Kith has stores all over the world - 16 of them and growing - and to celebrate each of them, Ronnie has a watch. But he hasn't stopped there - Ronnie is a serious collector of serious watches. And in this 30 minute episode, you'll see some of his favorites.

    I can't tell you how long I've waited for this, Ronnie has always kept some serious quality watches on his wrist, for years. So much so that its ads to his lore and his specific sensibilities of quality, simply can not be denied. It's taken him entirely too long to sit down to talk about these sensibilities with regard watches. I'm glad we're here now.

Since then, I've owned maybe 8 of them. People keep asking, why do I wear the same runners and my answer is genuine, they're the most comfortable I've ever wore so why to change? As my search for these continued, I came across expensive ones with THIS MANS name attached and I wondered who is he.
