The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 67: Interviews with Mido CEO Franz Linder and Vortic Co-Founder RT Custer

Advertisement

On today’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, we have two great back-to-back interviews. In the first half of the episode, we sit down with Franz Linder, the CEO of Mido watches, in Mexico City to discuss the 100-year history of the brand (you’ll never guess how Mido used to water seal their watches, but you’ll find out how from Mr. Linder). In the second half of the episode, we talk to RT Custer of Vortic Watch Company in his second appearance on the podcast (click here for his first outing). This time around, we discuss Vortic’s latest exciting venture, the Railroad Edition project.
