Ryan Chong's career in the watch industry is relatively short, but he is already making a mark having recently been listed on Watchonista's 30 under 30(ish) as one of the brightest and youngest breaking down barriers and reinventing the industry for the better. Having worked in the watch departments of both Christie's and Sotheby's, Ryan is well placed to launch one of the most exciting new platforms in the watch world: Bezel. John Reardon enjoys an informative and fun conversation with his former colleague at Christie's, and learns how Bezel will change the way we buy watches.

Josh sits down with Standard Luggage founder Ryan Chong. Standard Luggage is a travel gear brand that makes ultimate travel gear designed to answer all your typical travel issues (aka no more exploding packs and luggage) In 2014 Ryan spent a good bit of time traveling throughout Asia. Only armed with a hiking backpack, he made due with lugging his belongings from hostel to hostel but had to deal with his pack constantly feeling like it was bursting at the seams. If he needs something from his pack, he essentially had to unpack everything and repack it up just to find the item he was looking for-- a bit of a rough experience logistics wise. Fast forward two years later, Canada starts charging checked bag fees. That was the final straw. He needed something that he could use as a sufficient carry-on and he needed it NOW. His solution?... A backpack specifically designed for air travel, to bypass checked bag fees and keep all of your belongings easily accessible. Now you can save your cash for souvenirs (or, I don’t know, maybe another couple cocktails on the plane).
