Ben's Watches vs. Wrist Enthusiast: The most ridiculous 3 Watch Throw Down battle

New York City. Two of the watch internet's most respected voices. One completely absurd three-watch throwdown. Ben Cook of Ben's Watches and Craig Karger of Wrist Enthusiast — and founder of the Wren watch brand — walk into The Jeffrey Craft Beer & Bites bar in NYC and proceed to lay down three watches each. The assignment? Bring three watches that you have a deep connection with. What follows is one of the most hilariously mismatched battles this channel has ever hosted. Ben Cook, 28, full-time watch creator and self-described honesty merchant, leads with the Fears Brunswick Jump Hour — a watch that dominates amongst his collection for wrist time. Next, he drops the Furlan Marri Mechaquartz Sabbia Rosa, a watch that costs well under $1,000, yet stopped CEOs in their tracks at Dubai Watch Week. Ben then closes with his Wren x Ben's Watches collab: The Diver One "Magma" — the one with the volcano promotional video that may have permanently stained the videographer's leg. Not bad for someone who thought he'd only sell two. Craig, ex-litigation attorney turned full-time watch creative, opens with a steel Rolex Daytona — his law school graduation gift. He then completes his watch-icon one-two punch with an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak he bought for US$16.2K at a discount before the 15400ST was discontinued. And to close? The new Wren Diver 38 Crimson — exclusive to Time+Tide Discovery Studio — is a 10.7mm-thin, 200m diver that Andrew basically refused to hand back in Dubai. Specs guy vs. design purist. Rolex vs. independent. Former lawyer money vs. creator hustle.
