NOTE:
(These are show notes promoting an event that has now passed. However, the event was a lot of fun to be involved with. The graphics were terrific and I’m leaving the blog post live on the site as a nice memory).
This week on the show we’ll be talking to Matt Spaiser from The Suits of James Bond, David Zaritsky from The Bond Experience and Calvin Dyson from Calvin Dyson Reviews.

DEMIO
We have chosen a new platform for the event called DEMIO. DEMIO is a webinar platform that allows us to still have an immersive experience but do it in a controlled and safer environment.
With DEMIO every person needs to register and that individual is sent a unique link just for them.
Featuring me
I’ll be hosting the style panel with Matt and Harris from Dressing Like Bond. I’m going to debut my bespoke Frank Foster shirt.
The debut
The pleated one from the the pre-titles in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, made by the same tailor, Mary from Frank Foster. I’ve not even got it out the cellophane yet. That will be fun. (See below).

Cold Showers
I have finally achieved my goal of lasting five minutes in the cold shower like Bond does in the novel Dr. NO. Don’t call me a hero. I’ve found some info on the benefits of cold showers below.

I take a Q&A and answer the following questions
- Where in London do I live?
- What do I think of the new Orlebar Brown Collection?
- What kind of pet would James Bond own?
- Rolex or Omega?
Thanks for everyone that asked questions. I’ll do them on my Instagram every week. Check my stories or just DM me.
I do mention casually my Oris Divers 65 which is one of my most prized possession. I did a podcast on alternative dive watches with Bobby Morelli which you can find the shownotes to in this article here.
