Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Ben Climate Presents.

We are presenting the Patek Philippe episode with none other than my good friend and

one time Houdinkey contributor, John Reardon. How you doing John?

Great, and it's such a pleasure to be out who didn't you.

And so great to see you.

I look forward to catching up on the record with you.

Yeah, we're doing this all on the record, so we're going to ask them some tough questions.

JK, not that tough.

So we had such great frankly success

with the episode that we did with our friend Jeff Hess

over at Southerby's with a Vintage Rolex episode.

We thought let's talk about the other great anchor of the watch collecting community.

Nobody better to talk about Paddock with them than John.

So I would say 10 second CV.

You worked at Paddock for a little while. You've worked at some great

retailers and great auction houses. Why don't you tell everybody a little bit about

your history? Sure. So I was lucky enough to go up next to a watching clock

museum in my hometown Bristol, Connecticut Connecticut and that eventually led me into the

auction world and then I had the dream call to work for Patec Philippe for a decade and

went back to auction because I missed vintage so much. Four years ago I founded

Collectibility which is focused only on buying and selling and educating on

all things, but tech Philippe and that is it. And you host a podcast over there and who is your first guest again?
