An Indelible Bond | Collectors Among Us with David Zaritsky of @TheBondExperience

As watch enthusiasts, we harbor a particular affection for small mechanical objects. Intricate and artistically beautiful, it's easy to marvel at watches purely on the physical level. But for many of us, it's the people behind the watches — and the people behind the industry — that tell the greatest stories. On this episode of Collectors Among Us, we’re joined by 007 superfan and expert David Zaritsky, founder of The Bond Experience. We follow his journey by way of not only his incredible collections of 007 memorabilia and watches, but of his memories that are deeply connected to them.
