Join Accutron for a journey into the life of a living legend that has changed the face of music and to explore his thoughts on today’s music industry including music education.
The Accutron Show is the first full-fledged podcast by a watch brand and is a series of approximately 40-minute conversations hosted by Entertainment Reporter Bill McCuddy (Fox News), Journalist David Graver (Cool Hunting, New York Times, Vogue), and Editor Scott Alexander (GQ, Playboy) about Americana culture and its evolution and expressions through time.
To celebrate Accutron’s 62nd birthday, a true music icon joins the conversation, the one and only Nile Rodgers. Rodgers is a Grammy-winning composer, producer, arranger and guitarist who’s been inducted into both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is the co-founder of CHIC and the Chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like “Le Freak,” (the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records) and sparked the advent of hip-hop with “Good Times.”
“I don’t remember going to the same school for more than a few weeks. But all schools had standardized music education, they all had school orchestras and each school assigned to me a different instrument I had to learn to play. By the time I grew up I became a self-contained band, doing all my orchestration, writing every part of every instrument myself.”
The Accutron Show Podcast, available to listen on Apple Music, Spotify, Stitcher and other major streaming platforms including YouTube.
Embodying its tagline, “It’s Not A Timepiece. It’s A Conversation Piece.” Accutron reignites another chapter of conversation with a third season of The Accutron Show podcast. Reaching #42 on Apple Podcasts in the” Society & Culture” category in the U.S., the podcast continues its exploration into American consumer culture with an outstanding line-up of influential guests.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless
When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time.
"We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them.
Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
