This week on the SUPERLATIVE Podcast, our host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by Aaron Stark, author of Disrupting Time: Industrial Combat, Espionage, and the Downfall of a Great American Company. As Aaron states on his LinkedIn page, “Disrupting Time is the account of a remarkable turn of events driven by cunning spies, visionary leaders, and strategic choices that put the Swiss and American watch industries on entirely different trajectories. Had the events of 1876 never happened, we would likely know little of Swiss watches today.” Our host, Ariel Adams, has Aaron Stark dive even deeper into the story for our listeners to enjoy as he shares more unknown information about watch history and how the industry evolved into what it is today.
