A departure from the typical Smoking Tire drive, Matt Farah and Zack Klapman slow things down... to about 30 mph. A couple weeks ago they joined us in Newport for Audrain's 3rd Annual Veteran Car Tour, and their second attempt at making it to Bristol and back — this time in a 1902 Yale. Did they make it or did they have to push their way to the finish line? Will they be joining us again or have they had enough of 100-year-old automobiles?
This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week on the Superlative Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is actually taking over The Smoking Tire's studio in a special episode where Ariel talks with Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire, and Wesley Kwok and Cullen Chen of Nodus Watches. Ariel asks Matt and Welsey how their relationship came to be, and why Nodus Watches were interested in collaborating with Matt. Matt dives into how he began his relationships with watch brands in general as they look at The Smoking Tire's history with watch brands. Wesley talks about some of the steps and challenges in producing a watch built out of collaboration, and their unique strategy in how they invested in the growth of the brand by going the collaboration route. Ariel asks Matt and Wesley about how they were able to infuse “Matt Farah” and “The Smoking Tire” into the Canyon watch without making it overbearing, or an element that overshadows the watch itself.To stay connected with Matt and Nodus Watches:- The Smoking Tire - youtube.com/thesmokingtirepodcast- Nodus Watches - https://www.noduswatches.com/ - TST Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesmokingtire/ - Nodus Watches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/noduswatches SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!
