Summary

My guest today is Johnathan Ferrer, the founder of boutique brand Brew Watches. He founded Brew nine years ago after studying industrial design and short stints with other brands. Brew was inspired by his days spent sitting in coffee shops, working and designing—not just the coffee, but the culture of unwinding and relaxing. But I'll be honest, that's not what attracted me to Brew. It's the retro but totally modern vibe he's managed to capture in all of his designs, most recently in the Metric. Jonathan and I talk about his journey as a designer and entrepreneur, the times he almost called it quits, and what's next for Brew. Along the way, we also chat about some of John's other passions: cars, coffee and bikes. Jonathan is a great designer and an even better guy – I hope you enjoy our chat. Thanks again to Accutron for supporting Hodinkee Radio. For more on the Accutron DNA Casino Collection, visit accutronwatch.com.
