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 joined by Mitchell Wein, the President of Marathon Watches. Ariel starts the show by declaring Mitchell a walking encyclopedia of watch industry knowledge, and the two dive right into Marathon watches’ relationship with the military as a watch supplier. Mitchell talks about how the initial relationships were formed through his father and grandfather ‘s time when they were in charge of the brand. Ariel asks about Marathon watches being involved also in the luxury industry as well as their other areas of focus such as the military. The two reflect on the design principles of the company as they talk about the importance of function for the watches that are so heavily depended upon as tools, but also why appearance is not something to just completely disregard either.
