## Resource

Prost! Fall is in the air, Oktoberfest is right around the corner, and certified Friend of the Pod® Stephen Kounas (President of Glashütte Original, North America) is back to drop even more knowledge – this time, he's schooling us on the sleepy Saxony town of Glashütte, as well as the brand's new dial manufactory which is now up and running. Catch yourself up from Stephen's last appearance on episode 39, and we'll see you out there. As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at podcast@topperjewelers.com.
