Episode 50
Monday, 8 June, 2026

This week on Time 2 Calibrate, Marc flies solo for a conversation with longtime friend Michael Friedberg, better known throughout the watch world as Mr. IWC. Long before Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook groups, Michael was helping shape the online watch community, building connections and sharing knowledge during the early days of internet watch collecting. In this episode, Marc and Michael take a trip down memory lane, revisiting the pioneering forums, memorable personalities, and the evolution of the hobby from niche enthusiast circles to the global community we know today. Whether you've been collecting for thirty years or thirty days, this episode offers a fascinating look at where our hobby came from, and where it might be headed next.
