Miss GMT: A Woman’s Perspective on Complications, Culture & Collecting | Wrist Check Pod #112
This week on Wrist Check Podcast, we’re joined by Erica Ratini — aka Miss GMT — whose tagline, “Watches from a woman’s perspective,” is more than a motto; it’s a mission. Erica takes us inside her world of collecting highly complicated timepieces and uncovers the cultural influences — especially from Japan — that have shaped her unique taste, including her love for niche brands like Otsuka Lotec. We talk about what it means to be a woman navigating the often male-dominated watch space, how she challenges conventional expectations around what women should collect, and the moment she added her first Rolex to the collection. Insightful, personal, and inspiring — this is a conversation that redefines what it means to collect with purpose and personality.
