I'm recording this on a Friday afternoon and it's only been about 24 hours since I landed back in New York after S. I.

To be honest, my head is still spinning from all the new watches we saw in Geneva and you can bet we'll have a lot more coverage of the show over

the coming weeks.

This is going to include conversations with Audomar Piget CEO, Francois-Anri bin

Amias, and IWC CEO Chris Granger that you'll be able to listen to right here.

But this week we have something very special for you and it has absolutely nothing to do with

the S.I.H.

Gogogne Gallery on West 21st Street in New York just opened the first major exhibition of Mark

Newsom's work in over a decade.

Almost all of the pieces are being shown for the very first time and the results are staggering.

There are these beautiful curved glass chairs made in the Czech Republic.

There are these insane huge cloison a enamel pieces made in Beijing.

It's really incredible.

For a design geek like me, it doesn't get much better than this.

Mark was kind enough to meet up with us at Gogoshan to talk about the show.

One thing to note, we are recording this on site, so you're going to hear some things in the background,

doors, people talking, and it's all part of the ambience,

don't worry about it.

Mark and I talk about how his career has developed over the last 10 or so years,

his 30-plus year history of making timepieces,

from Ickopod to Atmos to Apple

and why he thinks the watch world is more interesting now than ever.
