Fratello Talks: With Daniela Pusch Live From WatchTime Düsseldorf
This episode of Fratello Talks features Nacho and RJ in conversation with Daniela Pusch, editorial director of WatchTime, recorded live at WatchTime Düsseldorf. The discussion centers on the evolving role and value of watch fairs in the digital age, highlighting their importance for enthusiasts to experience watches firsthand and connect with brands and fellow collectors. The conversation also includes a 'wrist check' segment where the participants showcase their personal watches.
Daniela Pusch is wearing the DUG Purist 37mm in Moon White, noted for its compact case and clean dial.
RJ is wearing his Sinn 103 St Ty Hd, a reverse-panda chronograph with red accents.
Nacho is wearing his Breitling Aerospace F65362, a titanium multifunction quartz watch with analog and digital displays.
The discussion emphasizes that watch fairs provide an irreplaceable opportunity for in-person viewing, handling, and direct interaction with brand representatives, which online releases cannot replicate.
