This week on the Superlative Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by Dr. Greg Petronzi, the Founder of True Patina. Ariel and Greg begin the show by diving into the obsession with watches and the connection between watches and other hobbies. Dr. Petronzi, who holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, explores the idea of watches as tools that give men a sense of power and the intersection of the artistic and mechanistic aspect of watches themselves. The two discuss the appeal of vintage watches especially and the multiple “dimensions” of time that they seem to represent to their enthusiasts. While they touch on the importance of servicing and maintaining these watches, they begin to look at the emotional desire to keep older things alive and how that factors into the love for vintage timepieces. Ariel asks Greg about the challenges of repairing watches and his unique approach to watch repair and restoration. Dr. Petronzi shares with us his unique approach to watch repair and restoration while emphasizing the importance of combining technical expertise with artistic skill in order to restore these watches to their original condition. Greg also touches on his experience in creating True Dome, a company that manufactures high-quality watch crystals. He also discusses the challenges of being an independent watchmaker and the need for more educational opportunities in the field. Listen in as Ariel and Greg fully immerse their conversation into the artful world of watch repair and restoration on this week’s episode of the Superlative Podcast.
