Ep 18 - Cincinnati Watch Company - Rick Bell

I sit down w/ Cincinnati Watch Company's Rick Bell at Brink Brewing Company in College Hill, OH.
 
Rick Bell is one of the owners of Cincinnati Watch Company in Cincinnati, OH.
 
Listen to how a passion for timepieces & a deep love for his city & community, in general, lead Rick to co-creating the first watch company to assemble watches in Cincinnati since 1958!
 
We are also joined by Brink founder, Andrew McCleese, to talk about some of the beer we drank during the podcast.
