Watch: Ben’s Watches on the Wrist Check Podcast

In this exciting episode of the Wrist Check Podcast, Perri and Rashawn reunite for a candid conversation with Ben Cook, the creator behind Ben’s Watches. A rising voice in the watch community, Ben shares his journey from a middle-school fascination with bracelets to building a platform that bridges the gap between seasoned collectors and newcomers.

From his early curiosity about wristwear to his now-recognized collecting philosophy, Ben’s story captures what makes the next generation of collectors tick — authenticity, accessibility, and curiosity.

The conversation dives into how Gen Z is reshaping luxury watch culture, turning what was once a closed world into something more inclusive and story-driven. Ben discusses the balance between flipping timepieces and building genuine appreciation, and how digital storytelling helps more people connect with horology without intimidation.

With openness and humor, the group reflects on how online communities are evolving. “It’s not just about showing watches,” Ben says, “it’s about showing what they mean to people.” Perri and Rashawn add their own wrist-check picks and stories of nostalgic pieces, exploring how taste and memory intertwine across generations.
