This episode, produced by Time to Watches and The Real Time Show, is brought to you by STISS (www.stiss.ch).

Recorded live at Time to Watches 2025 in Geneva, Alon Ben Joseph & Rob Nudds welcome Jonathan Sydel from Sydel & Sydel, a family-owned and family-run jewelry and watch retailer based in Chicago, USA.

During the discussion, Jonathan presents the structure of the family business, explaining that he and his sister run the company, with a division between watches and jewelry, and that all jewelry is produced in-house in Chicago. He shares his approach to watch retail, focusing on independent manufacturers across different price segments.

The conversation covers Jonathan’s experience at Time to Watches, his view on the importance of attending industry events in person, and the value of face-to-face meetings with brands, collectors and industry peers. He discusses how such events allow retailers to assess the overall pulse of the watch industry and identify new brands and projects.

Jonathan also shares his perspective on brand selection, long-term relationship building, and the role of patience in developing independent watch brands within a retail environment.

About TALK by Time to Watches

TALK by Time to Watches is where the watch industry takes a moment to slow down and speak openly.

Recorded at the heart of the exhibition, each episode brings together founders, independents, executives, creators, and experts for conversations that go beyond the surface — human, honest and genuinely insightful.

We talk business, but with depth: the decisions that matter, the doubts behind the strategies, the challenges brands face, the risks they take, the lessons learned, and the vision they’re building for tomorrow.

Just real people sharing real experiences — the kind you rarely hear on stage or in press releases.

If you want to understand not only how the industry moves, but why it moves — and the people who make it happen — this is the place to listen.
