The Grey NATO – 362 – 10 Years of TGN With Mike Pearson

For the closest episode we will have to the actual 10-year anniversary of TGN (Feb 1), we invited our old pal Mike Pearson back on the show. Mike introduced Jason and James in real life, and he’s been a supporter of TGN since before we shared our first episodes. We take a walk with Mike down memory lane as we recount what we were up to in 2016, how things have changed, and his continued evolution in the watch world, moving from brands like Bremont and Zodiac to Christopher Ward.

Stay in the mix for a magical Final Notes that will have you considering K2 from your couch while you consider the possibly ugly reality of a very TGN brand.
