Episode 102: Jason Fried

<p>This week Erik &amp; Max are honored to be joined by founder of 37signals, thoughtful collector, and original thinker Jason Fried. While this episode briefly touches on Jason’s path as a collector, it’s spends more time on the philosophy of a meaningful business, knowing what doesn’t matter in design, what mades watches special to love, what defines craft, which watches were the least impressive in the metal, how the ability to sell permanence is linked to looking after your product, and so much more. </p><p><br></p><p>Links Mentioned:</p><p><br></p><p>The MIH:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/found-elusive-mih-watch-up-for-grabs">https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/found-elusive-mih-watch-up-for-grabs</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.ablogtowatch.com/mih-watch-review/">https://www.ablogtowatch.com/mih-watch-review/</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-mih-gaia-watch">https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-mih-gaia-watch</a></p><p><br></p><p>105.012:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/105-012-65-omega-speedmaster">https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/105-012-65-omega-speedmaster</a></p><p><br></p><p>Steel Lange 1:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://langepedia.com/stainless-steel-a-lange-sohne/">https://langepedia.com/stainless-steel-a-lange-sohne/</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/lange-one-101026-steel">https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/lange-one-101026-steel</a></p><p><br></p><p>(We were wrong around this timestamp Lange are at about 7,000 watches annually)</p><p><br></p><p>Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://langepedia.com/a-lange-sohne-lange-1-perpetual-calendar-tourbillon/">https://langepedia.com/a-lange-sohne-lange-1-perpetual-calendar-tourbillon/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Inline Patek QP:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/patek-philippe-ref-5236p-001-in-line-perpetual-calendar-a-first-for-patek-introducing">https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/patek-philippe-ref-5236p-001-in-line-perpetual-calendar-a-first-for-patek-introducing</a></p><p><br></p><p>90% of Astons are still on the road:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.carthrottle.com/news/90-cent-aston-martin-cars-ever-built-are-still-road">https://www.carthrottle.com/news/90-cent-aston-martin-cars-ever-built-are-still-road</a></p><p><br></p><p>Rapide:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.the-intercooler.com/library/blog/man-maths-aston-martin-rapide/">https://www.the-intercooler.com/library/blog/man-maths-aston-martin-rapide/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Lagonda:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1983-aston-martin-lagonda-3/">https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1983-aston-martin-lagonda-3/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Resonance Pisa:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.phillips.com/detail/fp-journe/229536">https://www.phillips.com/detail/fp-journe/229536</a></p><p><br></p><p>T10:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.acollectedman.com/products/t10-tourbillon-40mm-platinum">https://www.acollectedman.com/products/t10-tourbillon-40mm-platinum</a></p><p><br></p><p>Watch Jason is Googling Often:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://hairspring.com/products/sbgz005">https://hairspring.com/products/sbgz005</a></p><p><br></p><p>Watch that Floored in Person:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/740-056-a-lange-sohne-datograph-perpetual-tourbillon-1">https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/740-056-a-lange-sohne-datograph-perpetual-tourbillon-1</a></p><p><br></p><p>3 Watch Roll:</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/introducing-the-patek-philippe-3670a-a-new-chronograph-in-st">https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/introducing-the-patek-philippe-3670a-a-new-chronograph-in-st</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://hairspring.com/products/701-011-pour-le-merite-tourbillon-pink-gold">https://hairspring.com/products/701-011-pour-le-merite-tourbillon-pink-gold</a></p><p><br></p>
