Timist Podcast Series

Welcome to the Timist Podcast Series, my name is James and I am the Timist and the host of the thing you’re currently trying to listen to.

I’m a watch enthusiast as well as an automotive journalist but my day job is that of a video game producer. In my podcast series I’ll be exploring the wonderful world of watches - ranging from ADs to watchmakers, collectors and enthusiast, as we talk about current watch industry topics, discuss new releases, and go behind the curtain to learn new and exciting things! Fun is a priority, so we don’t take ourselves too seriously and that’s because this is something we do for fun, born from a place of passion for the hobby.

S2: Ep: 11 | Timist Podcast Series | Feat. Kelly Yoch From Patek Philippe PART 2

May 02, 2025 • James Bachici • Season 2 • Episode 11

Welcome to season 2 episode 11 of the Timist Podcast Series - check out the show notes below for this part 2 of a 2 part series:

We kick things off with the famous toothpick incident - the one that managed to ruffle feathers at none other than Patek Philippe. From there we dive into a rich discussion on natural talent vs. learned skill, especially when it comes to people management in high end luxury.
Of course since we’re talking watches, the topic of investment vs. passion and depreciation had to be explored, but we also learn how Kelly navigates conversations with clients who sometimes prioritize profits rather than craftsmanship.
We also explore the gender gap in the watch world, and hear a touching story about her grandfather, and the very personal and heartfelt reason behind her choice on what she drives today.
To close things out Kelly shares how she continues to learn within the horological space, and offers advice for both newcomers and seasoned watch collectors alike.
