Description
Our guest today is one of the music industries all-time greats. Shawn Stockman is one of the founders of the chart-topping, multiple Grammy-winning, genre-defining powerhouse that is Boyz II Men. He’s also, as we found out, pretty serious about watches. We caught up with Shawn minutes after he came ‘offstage’ from a virtual concert, and we quickly dived into his lifelong love of watches. From the Tigger watch he learned to tell the time on, through to Casio’s unbeatable cool and how he fell in love with Rolex and bling. He tells us how he bought his first Rolex off a bus driver, later giving it to his father, who then pulled a peak dad-move with it. While many music stars might stay with the bling, Stockman’s tastes have matured, as he’s (mostly) of over the whole diamonds and R&B cliché. These days he’s much more likely to be wearing a Speedy, a vintage Rolex or even a Grand Seiko, even though he has one problem with the Japanese brand. This episode is brought to you by Longines.
