<p>In this episode of the Time Well Spent Podcast, Devin Pennypacker is joined by newly dubbed bi-weekly co-host Griffin Bartsch to chat James Bond watches.

Then, for a fun twist, Griffin brings the game this week challenging Devin to pair watch picks with a selection of different spies. What do you think of the Spy + Watch pairings?</p><p></p><p>Griffin Bartsch Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/cgriffinbartsch/?hl=en" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/cgriffinbartsch/?hl=en</a> </p><p>Devin Pennypacker Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/devinpennypacker/?hl=en" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/devinpennypacker/?hl=en</a> </p><p></p><p>Final Recommendations: </p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://teddybaldassarre.com/blogs/watches/james-bond-watches?srsltid=AfmBOorsrqrsGXVExVh0oCwYkKao8OVSbVXKZg3q8C9JwlkicGptfugb" target="_blank">The Comprehensive Guide to 50 Years of 007's Timepieces</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ4t6l467vM" target="_blank">The Good Shepard (Movie)</a></p><p></p><p>Other Links:</p><p>A Complete List of All James Bond Watches: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://manofmany.com/watches/a-complete-list-of-all-the-james-bond-watches" target="_blank">https://manofmany.com/watches/a-complete-list-of-all-the-james-bond-watches</a> </p><p>Everything To Know Before Buying A Pilots Watch: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHaTF09hUsE" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHaTF09hUsE</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Timestamps:</p><p>00:00 Introduction02:35 Wrist Check</p><p>08:02 Daytona Beach Adventures and Bucky's Experience</p><p>10:38 Memorial Day Weekend Reflections</p><p>12:18 Introduction to Bond Watches</p><p>23:14 Exploring the Legacy of Bond Watches</p><p>25:32 The Evolution of Bond's Watches</p><p>26:28 Iconic Seiko and Other Unconventional Choices</p><p>27:40 The Significance of Watch Selection in Bond's Character</p><p>32:55 The Impact of Branding on Bond's Image</p><p>37:21 Hypothetical Alternatives to Omega</p><p>42:54 The One-Watch Philosophy of James Bond</p><p>47:38 Exploring Ian Fleming's Influence on Bond Watches</p><p>50:04 The Game of Spy Watches Begins</p><p>58:48 Final Recommendations</p>
