This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week our host Ariel Adams is joined by watch designer Yvan Arpa, Founder of ArtyA watches. They start the show talking about what got Yvan into watch design, some of his previous work with other brands, and the start of ArtyA watches. Ariel asks Yvan to talk about some of the differences and difficulties of the market in the America compared to other markets around the world, and some of the things that surprised him about his watches in America. The two talk about using interesting components in design such as butterflies (literally), coprolite stone, and bullets. They talk about how Martial Arts has impacted Yvan’s life, his career, and his character. To end the show the two talk about smart watches, and the project they both were involved in with Samsung.
