Hey, it's me James Stacy, and this week we have an extra special treat for you all by way of a podcast, you know, sort of within a podcast.

This is the official launch of a special series for Hodincky Radio called The Collectors Edition with Ben Clymer,

in which Hodinky's founder sits down with a notable friend to chat about the ins and outs of

collecting and the mind of the enthusiast. The conversation will cover watches, of course,

but it won't stop there.

For this first episode in the series, Ben invited singer-songwriter Ed Sheerin to take a break from

winning all those Grammys and take a deeper look at his interest in watches,

what led him to start collecting, and a whole lot more.

So let's get to it, the first episode of the Collector's Edition with Ben Climber, featuring the ever

talented Ed Sheer. Ed welcome to the show man.

Here we are.

Yeah, here we are, finally.

Thanks for having me.
