// Episode 3 //

For episode 3, Ben is joined by Ferdi Porsche, an architect, the founder of F.A.T International, and one of the minds behind the re-birth of Ice Race (you might also remember him from his excellent appearance on Talking Watches and for bringing some of the rarest Porsches to the highest road in Austria). Ferdi and Ben get into his background as a member of the Porsche family, his appreciation for watches, his connection to Porsche Design, some of his favorite cars, and a whole lot more.
