In this special episode of the Wrist Check Podcast, the Geneva Squad is back with two incredible guests, both named Jason, for a deep dive into the world of independent watchmaking. We welcome Jason Sarkoyan, also known as @thewatchdesigner, and Jason Chevrolat, visiting from Switzerland for New York Watch Week, to share their expertise and passion for horology. This conversation explores the enduring legacy of Daniel Roth, one of watchmaking’s most influential figures, and the significance of his designs in shaping modern independent watch culture. From Jason Chevrolat's platinum perpetual calendar crafted by Daniel Roth himself to the team’s reflections on the brand’s current revival under LVMH, this episode is packed with rare timepieces, fascinating stories, and insider insights. Plus, hear how younger collectors are driving a renaissance in independent watchmaking and why the Daniel Roth aesthetic continues to captivate enthusiasts across generations.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
