Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. It's the wrong Tuesday and the wrong music, but be cool. We're trying something new.

This is TGM chats, a place for us to separate our interview segments from the main show.

Jason and I want to give these chats they're due, so listen up, and if there's someone you want us to chat with in the future let us know at the gray NATO at gmail.com

For the first TGM chat Jason caught up with oaken Oscar founder chase Fancher while he was on tour for

Oakland Oscar's latest watch, The Sanford.

It's a great chat with a legit watch nerd at the helm of a very promising young brand.

We hope you like it. Here's Jason.

Starting a watch brand is a dream of many watch enthusiasts, but few take that leap of faith and actually do it.

One who did is Chicago-based Chase Fancher, whose company is called Okanasker,

and who just released his second creation, The Sandford.

Chase is wrapping up a tour of some U.S. cities to introduce the Sandford, and I'm sitting down

with him here in Minneapolis, before he heads home later today.

Chase, welcome to the Gray NATO.

Thank you. It's my pleasure to be here in your home city as well.

Yeah, it's great.

Great to see you in Minneapolis.

I got to ask, tell me about the name Okan Oscar.

I actually don't know the backstory.

I wanted to do something where I loved it.

I was passionate about it.
