Hosted by Devin Pennypacker, each episode uses a shared love of watches as the jumping-off point for deeper conversations about the passions that keep us ticking: collecting, creativity, the outdoors, and the way we choose to explore the world. Along the way, Devin and his guests dive into driving, diving, sailing, photography, content creation, and adventure—plus a few games and hot takes for good measure. New episodes drop every Tuesday morning at 5:30 AM EST with full video episode on YouTube at 10 AM EST.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-07T20:21:06.522347+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/time-well-spent-7682162"},"episode":{"title":"Starting a Watch Microbrand, Behind the Scenes with Tom Clemence Ep. 010","slug":"starting-a-watch-microbrand-behind-the-scenes-with-tom-clemence-ep-010","published_at":"2026-04-07T09:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/time-well-spent-7682162/starting-a-watch-microbrand-behind-the-scenes-with-tom-clemence-ep-010","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/time-well-spent-7682162","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/bca75e04e5ce3e9284cbe52cbd0460fb4e0a9dd41647513545321891737729f5/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIzMDVjNzhlYS0zODRkLTRmZDgtYWUxMS1hZjFkZDgyMDAzMjQiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIyZDUxOTJhMy0xOTU1LTRmZTAtODI4Ny1iZTczMTlmODA2NzgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTY2NzlmMTAzNDJhYTc1NGFjNDkxODUiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjlkMzBmNWY0M2VjMThmY2Q5MjM3OWE3L2RldmluLXBlbm55cGFja2Vycy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi00LTZfXzMtNDEtNTEubXAzIn0=.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/bca75e04e5ce3e9284cbe52cbd0460fb4e0a9dd41647513545321891737729f5/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIzMDVjNzhlYS0zODRkLTRmZDgtYWUxMS1hZjFkZDgyMDAzMjQiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIyZDUxOTJhMy0xOTU1LTRmZTAtODI4Ny1iZTczMTlmODA2NzgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTY2NzlmMTAzNDJhYTc1NGFjNDkxODUiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjlkMzBmNWY0M2VjMThmY2Q5MjM3OWE3L2RldmluLXBlbm55cGFja2Vycy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi00LTZfXzMtNDEtNTEubXAzIn0=.mp3","summary":"Tom Clemence, founder of the watch microbrand Clemence Watches joins the Time Well Spent Podcast to chat about how things got started, designing his first watch, his second model the Munro, and his latest watch release, the Clemence Photic MKII dive watch.
