## Resource

It's sure looking like Oris has one of the summer's hottest watches, with the launch of the new Pointer Date Lou Gehrig Edition earlier this week, so we tapped our longtime pal and official three-time Friend of the Pod® Oris CEO of The Americas, VJ Geronimo for a little insight into this special edition, which sheds some light on the life and legacy of the Iron Horse himself. As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at podcast@topperjewelers.com. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!
