GQ: Ronny Chieng Highlights Eric Wind as Rowing Blazers x Seiko Co-Designer

GQ's Cam Wolf interviewed Ronny Chieng on the new Rowing Blazers x Seiko watches that Ronny modeled. In the article, Ronny stated, "Very lucky to know the Rowing Blazers guys, Jack [Carlson] and Eric Wind [of Wind Vintage, who works on the project], of course. Basically, over the pandemic, I had a midlife crisis and I started looking at watches. And independently, everyone started pointing me to Wind... [A]s soon as they said Seiko Rowing Blazers, I'm like, "I already know it's going to be good." And if you go Rowing Blazers, Eric Wind, Seiko, it's like, "I don't even need to look at it. I already know it's going to be great.” And true enough, it is great."

Ronny also mentioned his Rowing Blazers x Tudor watch: "The last one is the Rowing Blazers Tudor, which I love. Again, Eric Wind and Rowing Blazers, shout-out to these guys for figuring out how to convince Tudor to do this. I have no idea how they did it [Ed. note: I do! I wrote a whole story about it!]. But anyway, another beautiful watch, vintage-inspired. It's something I wanted to get anyway, the Black Bay 58. I could never pull the trigger, I couldn't justify it. And then I get a phone call: "Hey, do you want a special one?" I'm like, "Okay, well, that's all I need to justify this purchase now."
