Descripción del Episodio

What does it really take to build a luxury watch brand from scratch? In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean Kelly sits down with Bilal, founder of Grandur Watches, to talk about how he went from collector to creator, why he destroyed entire watch batches over quality issues, and how he’s building a watch company designed to compete on craftsmanship, not hype. Bilal breaks down the mindset behind creating original complications, why he refuses to copy the big brands, and how his long-term vision is much bigger than just selling watches. From early dropshipping wins to building factories, selling out releases in days, and planning a Miami manufacturing hub, this episode is a deep look into product obsession, patience, and building something people actually care about. They also talk about why unique watches start conversations, why most people chase money before passion, and how scarcity, craftsmanship, and quality can turn a product into a real brand. If you’re into watches, entrepreneurship, design, manufacturing, or building a premium brand from the ground up, this one delivers. ⏱️Chapters 0:00 Why He Destroyed a Whole Batch 0:26 How Grandur Watches Started 1:45 The Watch That Went Viral 3:05 His Plan to Build Watches in America 4:21 Why He Only Competes With Independent Makers 6:12 The Obsession With Quality Control 8:07 Why He Stayed Anonymous 9:47 How He Made His First Money 13:38 Why He Didn’t Quit After 6 Years 22:46 Quality Over Quantity Always Wins 🧠What You’ll Learn 🔥 Why quality control can make or break a luxury brand ⌚ How Bilal turned watch collecting into a real business 🚀 What helped Grandur grow into an $18M brand 🧠 Why unique products beat copying big brands 💸 How he made his first money before watches 🏭 Why he’s betting on American watch manufacturing 🎯 The mindset behind building products people actually remember 📈 Why patience matters more than fast hype 💎 How scarcity can increase demand and long-term value 🤝 Why gifting and relationships still matter in business 🎙️ APPLY OR CONNECT 👉 Interested in being a guest?

World War II with Tom Hanks

World War II with Tom Hanks

By shows

For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. World War II with Tom Hanks is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.

The Last 12 Weeks

The Last 12 Weeks

By shows

In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.
