After a quick break, Andy and Felix are back behind the microphones! We kick things off with a deep dive into Andy's incredibly watch-heavy trip to Japan. From heavy-hitting independent watchmaking like Naoya Hida and Zenith, to the brilliant microbrands of Kurono Tokyo and Kuoe Kyoto, we cover the insane Japanese vintage scene and why Tokyo remains a mecca for watch collectors. đŻđ”âïž
Meanwhile, Felix catches Andy up on what he missed back home, including the spectacular premiere of the NGV's Cartier exhibition. It's also been a massive month for watch news and new releases. We break down the newest pieces from Chopard, the wild Ming x J.N. Shapiro American-Malaysian collaboration, and TAG Heuer's jaw-dropping, piston-packing Monaco Speed 12.
Finally, we pause to pay tribute to an absolute giant of the watch industry, the late Philippe Stern of Patek Philippe, who passed away this June.
This week's episode is supported by Raymond Weil. Check out the new A.R.T. collection here, and find out what we think about it in this week's episode.

Karl-Fritz takes us on a deep dive into Chopard's watchmaking legacy, exploring 30 years of L.U.C Chopard, often called the "brand within a brand" for its exceptional high horology. He also shares the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of his pivotal role in bringing the widely acclaimed Alpine Eagle collection to life, and opens up about what it's truly like to work for one of Switzerland's last remaining independent, family-owned luxury watchmakers. đŠ â±ïž

This week, we are continuing our deep dive into the fascinating connection between watches and space exploration! đ°ïž
We are incredibly honoured to welcome VAST Lead Astronaut Drew Feustel to the show. As a NASA veteran with 225 days in space, Drew has now transitioned to the private sector to help design and build the future of commercial space habitation with VAST.
Felix chats with Drew about the unique challenges of living in zero gravity, why small design choices make a massive impact in orbit, and how the innovative IWC Venturer Vertical Drive overcomes those exact challenges. They also zoom out to discuss the big picture: why humanity's future in space matters, and what it's really like to be an astronaut rock star. âđ§âđ
Before the main interview, Andy and Felix break down everyone's favourite plastic pocket watch collaboration, the Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop, and Andy shares his experience getting on the water with TAG Heuer. đââïž

One of the OT: fixtures of Watches & Wonders is Andy's annual chat with Chris Grainger, who some claim is the most charming watch brand CEO. The 2026 instalment didn't disappoint â we found 15 minutes to chat in the middle of the incredibly busy booth, and learn about how IWC isn't just looking to the past as it celebrates 90 years of Pilot's Watches, but also the future with innovations like Ceralume and the impressive Venturer Vertical Drive, the brand's first watch made for space. Before that, Felix and Andy gossip about the rumoured Swatch x AP collab, the latest Chris Ward and Hodinkee down under.

Now that Andy and Felix are back from their continental jaunt, it's time to return to England with this week's guest, the charming and learned Tom Chamberlin. Chamberlin has made a name for himself as the editor-in-chief of the influential style bible, The Rake, and, more recently, as the host of The Luxury Dispatch, a podcast dedicated to the refined and rare. We certainly touched on what constitutes luxury in fine watches, finding out what the wrist equivalent of a blue blazer is, why Uniqlo is perfectly valid, the importance of everlasting style and why we need to be wearing more pleats.
Before that, Felix and Andy rated tote bags.

From the shores of Lake Geneva, Andy and Felix give their thoughts on all the highlights of Watches & Wonders 2026. From A. Lange & Söhne to Zenith and everything in between, we chat about why space is cool, and what it feels like to bicep curl 8kg of ethical gold, as well as why the subdial placement on the Santos de Cartier Chronograph is so good. Of course, we also tackle our favourite models, and some we think missed the mark. Patek Philippe stood out, as did Cartier and IWC's out-of-this-world Venturer Vertical Drive. But we also talk about the behind-the-scenes things that make Watches & Wonders great, like the lack of AI slop and secret pizzerias. Show Notes * Andy's visit to the Chopard Manufacture (1:52) * Felix's thoughts on Patek Philippe (3:35) * The revamped Santos de Cartier Chronograph (7:00) * Alpine Eagle XPS (13:43) * Vacheron Constantin Overseas Cardinal Points (14:20) * Our thoughts on Rolex in 2026 (15:35) * The Ulysse Nardin SuperFreak (20:00) * Our thoughts on IWC's 2026 collection (23:19) * The Tudor Royal (28:00) * The JLC Master Control (34:45) * The Chanel J12 Game (37:05)

Recorded live and fresh from Geneva, we're taking a look at Cartier's new releases for 2026.
After a decade in the archives, Cartier has officially resurrected the Roadster, and we have thoughts. In this episode, we're breaking down the entire Cartier 2026 lineup - from the Y2K nostalgia of the new Roadster Collection to the "liquid gold" engineering of the Santos-Dumont mesh bracelet.
Is the new, streamlined Roadster profile a win for modern wearability, or do we miss the "chunkiness" of the 2002 original? We're also diving into the 10th Anniversary of Cartier Privé, exploring the mind-bending Crash Squelette, and discussing why the Tortue moving into the core collection is the sleeper hit of the year.
Plus, we tackle the "quiet luxury" trend of Cartier's off-catalogue "Ghost Dial" releases and the brand's aggressive move toward precious metals. Grab a coffee - or a glass of champagne - it's time for the Cartier Deep Dive.
Notes: * The Roadster Revival: Everything you need to know about the new integrated rivets and that "headlight" date window. (02:15) * Santos de Cartier Chronograph: revamped and ready to party - spoiler, it feels good on the wrist (09:30) * "Liquid Gold" Santos-Dumont: Why the 15-row mesh bracelet is being called the "Watch of the Show." (12:40) * The Tortue: enters the core collection (17:10) * The Baignoire Update: Our take on the "Clou de Paris" bangle and the seamless dial aesthetic, AND the new 'larger size'. (21:30) * PrivĂ© 10th Anniversary: The Tortue Monopoussoir vs. the Crash Squeletteâwhich one takes the crown? (24:30) * The "Ghost" Strategy: Why Cartier is leaning into off-catalogue releases and full gold everything. (28:35)

If you've ever thought OT: needed more Andy, this is the episode for you. Today, we're joined by Andy B, the man behind Andy's Watches, famous for rating watch collections without permission. Having said that, he's even more famous for his internet friendship with the one and only Russell Crowe âin fact, we think it's fair to say that Andy can take the credit for Rusty's 'secret' TikTok pivoting to full-on watch content, something which we're all eternally grateful for. Andy tells us the full Russell Crowe watch saga â plus he rates our watches (without our permission).

Ming Thein, co-founder of the boundary-pushing Ming Watches, is always full of surprises, and this conversation, recorded at Dubai Watch Week, is no exception. We talk about the incredible titanium Polymesh bracelet, how Ming is adapting to being part of the 'old guard' of indies, and how to overcome imposter syndrome.
On top of that, we get some cryptic clues as to what 2026 might have in store.
But before that, Felix and Andy debrief on the latest releases from Audemars Piguet, and Andy explores the concept of the 'Ozempic' wrist.

With help from the OT time machine, we turn back the clocks to late 2025, where Felix caught up with Havid Nagan, founder of Aren Bazerkanian in Dubai. Thanks to the awesome power of the sun, causing the camera to overheat, this chat is a little shorter than usual. Still, Aren gave Felix an update on how Havid Nagan has been growing, and teased some plans for Origins, a more accessible offering from the US-based independent.

Now that the OT: team is back in one timezone, it's time to catch up on some spicy new releases Felix Saw at Dubai Watch Week, including the Ressence x Marc Newson collaboration, the third instalment of TAG Heuer's partnership with streetwear brand fragment and a surprising pocket watch. We also talk about the one new release so nice that it ended up on Andy's wrist #nospoilers.
Then Felix talks to the one and only Carlos Rosillo, co-founder and CEO of Bell & Ross. It's one of the best kinds of watch discussions, one where there's hardly any discussion of new releases or limited editions â instead it's a reflective conversation about the brand's history, legacy and 20 years of square watches.

This week, we're really locked in on watches that you can actually afford without taking out a small personal loan or a non-essential organ.
Andy and Felix start off by chatting about some recent bangers from Timex, Bulova and Seiko, before jumping into the main chat with co-founder of Earthen, Johnathan Chan. Earthen is a fresh face from Hong Kong, but its accessibly priced ceramic pilot's watches drew a lot of attention when they launched earlier this year. We chat to Chan about the story behind the brand, the finer details of ceramic watches and why accessible pricing matters.

This week, we catch up with Andrea Casalegno, better known on the internet as I Am Casa. Casa is a watch journalist and content creator who burst onto the scene with his exceptional taste and love of the organic Melting Watch from Exaequo. We chat about why this Dali-esque design is so significant for Casa, why Italians have such a reputation for being tastemakers when it comes to vintage watches, and why watch burnout is a real thing.

This week, we have a fascinating chat with Adrian Buchmann, a veteran watch designer whoâs spent the last few years playing a key role in Christopher Wardâs design department. We chat with Buchmann about how the famously accessible brandâs design is evolving, why the Bel Canto and Loco mark a pivotal change, and what the challenges were in creating the new, super-slim The Twelve 660. Before that, we chat about Paulinâs first dive watch, why Roger Dubuis might be the next big thing and Taylor Swiftâs Cartier PanthĂšre.

When it comes to Zach's in watch media, you could say we've saved the best till last. Zach Weiss is one of the co-founders of Worn & Wound, a watch news site that has been championing accessible watch enthusiasm since 2011. Andy chats to Zach about how the term 'microbrand' continues to be challenging to define, how much media has evolved over the years, and how Worn & Wound is staying true to its roots while adding more to its offering. Before that, Felix and Andy ask at what point a value proposition ceases to be a good value as prices continue to rise. Plus, watches in Happy Gilmore and more Jay-Z Franck drama.

This week - Franck Muller CEO Nicholas Rudaz.
Andy and Felix recently hopped on a plane to check out Franck Mullerâs brand new Sydney boutique on Castlereagh Street, and found it just as full of curvy, colourful watches as youâd expect. While there, they sat down with CEO Nicholas Rudaz, who explained why Franck Muller has always been bold, just what those rabbits are doing and why heâs sure brand founder Franck Muller had nothing to do with Jay-Zâs customised Rolex perpetual calendar.

This week weâve got something a bit different for you â a conversation with Parmigiani Fleurier, specifically Luca Castellani, Chief Commercial Officer and Theodore Panos, the brandâs Managing Director for South East Asia and Australia.
A little while ago, we hosted an event with the brand at Kennedyâs Chadstone boutique, showcasing their latest (and greatest) watches, and Felix had a chat with Luca and Theodore to highlight what makes the brand special, including a remarkable amount of expertise for a younger brand, and a surprising royal connection.

This week, Andy and Felix catch up on a busy few weeks as well as some watch-shaped deliveries that have made their way to the OT office. But first, Felix (literally and figuratively) puts on his film reviewer hat to talk about the F1 movie, and the many IWCs that can be spotted in it. Then, a brief chat about travel and Roger Dubuis, before we dive into the mailbag and come up with a beautiful bespoke strap from anOrdain, some good, honest fun from D1 Milano and the Timestop D-20, a dice-rolling watch made for the Dungeons & Dragons aficionados on the go.

Unlike the vast majority of people working in the âwatch mediaâ todayâs guest, Zach Piña lives the daring life of adventure that you see in glossy watch advertisements.
This is because Zach is one of the people responsible for creating these advertisements. We talk to Zach about diving under waves, racing classic cars in the desert and taking to the skies in pursuit of the perfect shot.
We also chatted about his history in watches, why the Golden Eye pause menu was a core memory, and which industry figure would make a great Bond villain.
Before that, we talk about why the Baume & Mercier Clifton is one of the best watches of 2025 and some stylish new updates to the integrated Riviera.

Christian Knoop is one of our favourite IWC people to speak to, and this week, we flashback to Geneva when Andy caught up with the talented Chief Design Officer to get the inside story on how the brand managed to sensitively add new sizes and complications â not to mention materials â to its popular Ingenieur while staying true to the values of the brand and the integrity of the watch. Before that, Felix and Andy pondered why the watches we forget about are sometimes the best and why the latest MB&F is so surprising.

Continuing our exploration of IWCâs 2025 collection this week, Felix chats to IWC Museum Curator David Seyffer, a walking encyclopaedia of IWC history, who gives us a lesson on some of the lesser-known Ingenieur models which provide a precedent for the new materials and complications added to the collection this year. He also offers some insight into how generational shifts lead to changing tastes among watch collectors and the brandâs legacy of purpose-built instruments. Before this, Andy and Felix chat about Crocs and G-Shock, among other things.

Pierre Rainero is one of OT:âs favourite repeat guests. Rainero is Cartierâs Image, Style & Heritage Director, and we couldnât think of a more perfect person for the role. We took the opportunity to dig into the details of the 2025 collection with Pierre in Geneva, and his insights into the Tank Ă Guichets and what is involved in scaling up the Tank Louis Cartier cannot be missed.

For many of us, Fred Savage was an important part of our formative years, thanks to his roles in The Wonder Years and The Princess Bride. He's also an established director and producer, but for watch enthusiasts, heâs famous for another on-screen role â Hodinkeeâs Talking Watches, in which he appeared in 2018. We caught up with Savage to see what heâs been up to since, and it turns out â quite a lot.

Thereâs a handful of brands that people clamour to see as soon as the curtain is lifted on Watches & Wonders, and Cartier is most definitely one of those brands. We recorded this episode inside the Cartier booth on the first day of the fair after getting up close and personal with all the key releases. We talk about all the major releases, including the outstanding Cartier PrivĂ© Cartier PrivĂ© Tank Ă Guichets, the new, larger Tank LC, the dazzling new takes on the Cartier PanthĂšre, as well as other jewellery pieces like the Tressage and the PanthĂšre Bangle. Not to spoil things, but 2025 is a good year for Cartier.

Yes, we had to do it. Hopped up on rumour and speculation, Andy and Felix dive into the exciting world of baseless watch predictions and shamelessly speculate on what Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier and their pals are going to unveil in Geneva in just a few day's time. On top of that, we ponder the meta trends that we're going to see emerge in the industry, including "less value for the same money" and "more restraint with flashes of insanity".

Everyoneâs favourite Chicago-based watch newsletter publisher is back for his second (or third?) chat with OT:, and as is now customary, weâve caught at something of an interstitial moment. Traina left Hodinkee late last year and has dived head first into his newsletter, Unpolished (nĂ©e Rescapement). We talk to Tony about the premise and pitch of his newsletter and (inevitably) the state of watch media in 2025. We also talk about industry pet peeves, press trip weirdness and why glazing billionaires is never a good idea.

Arken Watch Company was born (like so many creative projects), in the middle of a lockdown. Kenneth Lam, always interested in modding Seikoâs and the like, decided to design his own watch. The result was the Arken Instrumentum, a limited release followed a few years later by the clever travel timer that is the Alterum. Arken aims to create genre-free titanium tool watches with unique and practical functions â and itâs safe to say the young brand is delivering on that mission. We talked to Ken about the future of the brand, how to engage with the community and preferred emoji use.

This week, we've got the final file from Felix's Hong Kong adventure, and we've undoubtedly saved the best til last. ZoĂ« Abelson, better known on Instagram as @watchgirloffduty has built a life and a career hunting down rare timepieces. These days that business has coalesced into Graal Watch, which makes her the perfect person to find that obscure reference. We chat with ZoĂ« about the pros and cons of hunting other people's grails and explore the ambiguities implicit in the watch dealers' role as tastemakers, as well as what those tastes are looking like today: pro tip â smaller watches are where it's at. Before all that, Andy and Felix tackle the thorny issue of giving Andy's dad a watch. Let us know in the comments what you think that watch was.

Todayâs guest is Fiona KrĂŒger, a fine artist and watch designer whoâs independent in the truest sense of the word. Perhaps best known for her timepieces shaped like skulls and defined by fractures and imperfection, KrĂŒger is a watchmaker who finds her own path. Felix caught up with KrĂŒger in Hong Kong as part of Horology Forum 10, where they chatted about design integrity, the tricky nature of luxury and why it isnât always the best idea to have a business plan when starting out. They also chat about the Face of Tasaki, a watch Fiona KrĂŒger has made with a Japanese pearl manufacturer and one of the coolest releases of the last year. Before that, Andy and Felix gaze into Ariel Adamsâ crystal ball and speculate about what 2025 will look like for the watch industry.

Bremont CEO Davide Cerrato has been in the role for a little over a year at this point, and itâs safe to say that 2024 has been a rollercoaster. The brand, rooted in British identity and aviation, unveiled a brand new collection, logo and strategy at its Watches & Wonders debut and has, in the months since, been experiencing the ups and downs of public opinion. We caught up with Davide a few weeks before Christmas and found the irrepressible anglophile reflective about the year that was for Bremont, but more than that, excited about what the future holds.

In the second instalment of the Hong Kong Horology Forum files, Felix chats with Atelier Wen co-founder Robin Tallendier about the rich history of Chinese watchmaking and what the future of the industry in China looks like. From the sheer number of watchmaking students attending Chinese schools and the depth of artisanal crafts in the country, Tallendier hopes that within a generation, Chinese watchmaking will be far more respected and recognised. On top of that, Andy and Felix chatted about some of their favourite releases this year and dived into the details of Grand Seiko's design.

When Felix was in Hong Kong for Dubai Watch Weekâs HF.10 he caught up with one OT:âs OG guests, Carson Chan.

This week, we sit down with the man at the helm of one of the most interesting and exciting Swiss watch brands: Parmigiani Fleurier CEO Guido Terreni. Terrini stepped into the leadership role in 2020, a turbulent time for any brand, and since then has rapidly injected energy and excitement into one of the most credible brands born in the 1990s. We chat about Terreniâs strategy and the opportunities that the excitement around the Tonda and the Toric provides. We also touch on what itâs like to have the King of England send his watch in for service and why a Parmigiani Fleurier boutique on Macchu Picchu isnât out of the question.
Before that, Andy and Felix talk GPHG, the unusual launch of the Universal Geneve Polerouter and Tony Traina 2.0.

Today, we sit down with Mike France, co-founder and CEO of Christopher Ward, the UK-based direct-to-consumer brand that has (you may be shocked to learn) been around since 2004.
We chat to Mike about the early days of the brand and how they evolved from a design-led microbrand into the fully-fledged brand they are today, with in-house watchmaking expertise that rivals that of the Swiss.
Of course, it doesnât take long for the conversation to veer to their incredible breakout hit, the Bel Canto. Mike tells us how the innovative chiming watch was an unexpected byproduct of COVID-induced working conditions and how the smash-hit watch has changed their business.
We also talk about the brand new release, the Bel Canto Classic. But before that, Felix debriefs on his jaunt to Hong Kong for Dubai Watch Weekâs Horology Forum 10.

We thought we knew what we were getting into when we asked Marc Montagne, author of 'Invest in Watches: The Art of Watch Collecting' onto the pod. We prepared questions around market motility, hot models and the ethics of flipping, but it quickly became apparent that it wasn't going to be that kind of interview.
Marc, a watch industry professional, wasn't interested in buying and selling to make a quick buck â he was in it for the long haul. Marc is more interested in investing in quality and the style of watch that works for you. It might not be the textbook definition of investment, but we respect the hell out of the approach.
Before chatting with Marc, Felix and Andy ponder what Hodinkee's acquisition by Watches of Switzerland means for the industry (and how much it sold for).

We chat with James about what it's like to be an Authorised Dealer for some of the world's most prestigious and desirable watch brands/
James shares (in detail) about how he turned a small family business into an Australia-wide business and the lessons he's learned along the way.
We discuss the booming popularity of watches over the last 15 years, and what his thoughts are on the future of luxury, including the perennially thorny questions of allocation and investment, as well as the state of the Australian market more broadly.
You don't have to have walked through the doors of a Kennedy boutique for James' insights into the industry to resonate, this is an insightful discussion for anyone interested in the business of watches.

One of OT:âs very favourite people is Chris Hall, the guy behind The Fourth Wheel Substack â which bills itself as an honest, opinionated and informative insight into watches and the business around them. Given that every week or so weâre Chrisâ newsletter on the pod, we thought it was high time to get him back on and talk about his approach to reporting on watches and what his plans are for the Substack in the months ahead.

In this episode, we chat with the man behind one of 2024âs most-discussed watch brands, Anoma. Matteo Violet-Vianello developed his love of free-form vintage watch aesthetics while working at A Collected Man, and decided he wanted to create his own watch. Despite having no formal design training, Anomaâs debut watch, the A1, is an assured and sophisticated design that tackles the seldom-seen triangular case. Matteo explains his design choices, the production process and the philosophical underpinnings of this exciting new brand. Before that, Andy and Felix try and get some watch ambassador deals for Olympians.

This week, Andy continues his chat with IWCâs MVPs, and this time, he chats with Markus BĂŒhler, Associate Director of Watch and Movement Assembly. From job satisfaction to having a tourbillon (or two) with bearing his name, BĂŒhler provides insights into IWCâs meticulous approach to watchmaking. Before this chat, however, Felix goes wildly off-topic with an impassioned defence of one of the greatest works of cinema of the 21st century.

Cornell Watch Company is an old name but a new brand. Chicago native John Warren has long had a fascination with the historic American brand founded in his home city. Most people would be content with collecting old pocket watches and letting history stay in the past, but Warren isnât most people. Heâs taken the steps to revive the defunct brand and, with the help of American watchmaking legend Roland Murphy of RGM, bring it into the 21st century. We chat with Warren about the ins and outs of bringing an old brand back, why he thinks American watchmaking is important, and why his debut model, the 1870 CE, is special.

Fresh from the flash sale of his debut watch, we chat with Phil Toledano, one-half of Toledano & Chan, and a man whoâs gone from watch enthusiast to professional over the last few years. Phil talks about the hope and fears he had developing the B1, and how it feels to be memefied alongside Audemars Piguet (who happened to release the inspired-by-brutalism Remaster02 recently. Andy also gives Phil some handy business advice, and we get some old-school video game recs. You donât miss this slightly off-the-rails chat with the one and only Mister Enthusiast.

This week we talk about the 10th edition of the Only Watch charity auction, originally shcedule for 2023, but after drama and allegations of fiscal impropriety plagued the auction, it was delayed until the other week. Sadly, problems of a whole other nature marred its return, courtesy of some security issues with Christieâs online platform taking online voting off the table. Still, they managed to raise a tidy 28.3 million CHF, thanks largely to Patek Philippe. We chat about some of the high (and low) lights of the auction, as well as its place in the industry, On top of that, Van Cleef & Arpels CEO Nicolas Bos has been appointed Richemont group CEO, and we make a strong case for the fact that the only watch you truly need is a quartz Seiko.

This weekâs episode contains more spice than Dune 1 and 2 combined â welcome to the first hot takes episode of 2024. Fuelled by the hottest takes from the OT: discord, Andy and Felix debate some of the most burning (and a few of the most trivial) issues the watch industry faces in 2024. From thought-provoking claims like âif Tudor dropped the Snowflake hand theyâd be more successfulâ and âthe swing back to big watches is inevitableâ through to less earth-shattering takes like â120 bezel clicks are too manyâ, Andy and Felix wade fearlessly through the most controversial of takes.

Itâs been a hot minute, but weâre excited to have the one and only Jenni Elle back on the podcast. In case youâre not across her work, Jenni Elle is one of the biggest personalities on watch YouTube and a genuinely lovely person. The big news from Jenni Elleâs side of the world is that sheâs had a child, so obviously, we talk about the pros and cons of passing it on to the next generation. In addition to the joys of a babyâs first Patek, we chat with Jenni about Watches & Wonders, including a bit of chat about what we can expect from everyoneâs favourite hype brands, Rolex and Patek Philippe. But before that, we interrogated the new white-dialled Speedmaster, and argue over the finer points of whether or not a safe watch is inherently boring. We also cover the new releases from Audemars Piguet, including John Mayerâs Crystal Sky Perpetual Calendar.

For the last instalment in the Dubai Files, Felix sits down with Manuel Emch, the creative mind behind the resurgence of Louis Erard, which has evolved over the last few years from a middle-of-the-road value proposition into a powerhouse of collaboration. Enlisting help from people like Alain Silberstein and Konstantin Chaykin has seen Louis Erard become one of the most interesting names in watchmaking at the moment. All thanks to the Emch, a man with a reputation for putting out fires. Felix finds out about Emch, his approach to watches and what might happen to Louis Erard when collabs go out of favour. Before that, Andy and Felix chat about their trip to Sydney for an evening with Kennedy, and the joys of soapbox racers.

The Dubai Files keep on giving, as this week weâve got Felixâs chat with Ming Thein, the self-described Supreme Overlord of Horologer Ming, one of the most exciting and prolific young watch brands, who have racked up 62 references in only six years. Felix and Ming spend a lot of time chatting about the incredible new Ming LW.01, which Ming believes is the lightest mechanical watch ever made, coming in at 8.8 grams for the manual and 10.8 grams for the automatic. Beyond this incredible feat, they also discuss the joys and challenges of being a young, nimble watch brand in this day and age.
Closer to home, the big news is that Andy will be jetting off to his first-ever Watches & Wonders and is currently knee-deep in scheduling shenanigans. If you have any Geneva tips, let us know!

LVMH Watch Week, which was recently held in Miami, marks the start fo the flood of new releases for the year, and for our first news episode, we fly through some of the highlights from TAG Heuer, Hublot, Bulgari and Zenith. Of course, LVMH doesnât have a monopoly on the news, and Piagetâs hype-y new Polo 79 is bringing u80s realness back to the wrist. But all these new releases pale compared to the biggest news story of the last few months, about a woman so cool she doesnât even need to wear watches on her wrists. Yes, the one and only Taylor Swift ruffled feathers by wearing a custom choker with a Concord watch front and centre. We have thoughts. Beyond that, the big news in OT: land is that weâre getting into video, so if youâve ever wanted to see the faces we make while recording your favourite watch pod, youâre in luck.

This week, Andy flies solo, chatting to Verne Ho, the man behind Watch Studies, which bills itself as the only dedicated tool and resource for watch photography, helping watch lovers to tell better stories about the watches they love. Verne is an experienced photographer and creative director, and we find out how heâs gone from watch-adjacent to full-blown nerd.
Before that, Felix and Andy talk a bit about their 2024 plans, and why British spy drama is the best spy drama.

As Andy and Felix enjoy their summer down under, the Dubai Files continues to deliver. This week Felix chats to Oris Co-CEO Rolf Studer, and it's not your average watch exec interview. Typically, it's a challenge to get a CEO to talk about anything but the watches, but in our chat with Studer, we ended up talking far more about the Enlightenment and philosophy (and how it relates to the business of watches) than is usual. Of course, we did manage to squeeze in some chat about the glorious Propilot X Laser along the way. Before that, please enjoy some light banter about holiday plans and the joys of British crime dramas.

In the last episode of 2023, Andy and Felix â full of festive cheer â look back on the highs and lows of 2023. From the biggest surprise of the year to the trend they wish would go away and the watch theyâd actually spend their own hard-earned cash on, Felix and Andy mostly agree on the year that was, and in the end, they rated 2023 a solid 6.5ish out of 10.

Felix caught up with the effervescent Davide Cerrato at Dubai Watch Week, whoâs starting to feel comfortable in the top job at Bremont after six months. Felix and Davide chat about what heâs been up to, but most importantly, what heâs got planned for the next evolution of Bremont. Unfortunately, it sounds like weâll have to wait until Watches & Wonders 2024 to see just what heâs been cooking up, but if the idea of a Bremont Field Watch tickles your fancy, stay tuned. Before the Bremont shenanigans, Andy and Felix chat about Universal Geneve, and gift each other some hypothetical Zodiac stocking stuffers. Itâs festive and fantastic!

Jason Heaton, everyoneâs favourite diving watch guy, is back! Last time we had the pleasure of Heatonâs dulcet tones in our ears, he was talking about his debut novel Depth Charge. Now heâs back with a brand new novel: Sweetwater. Sweetwater sees the return of Tusker, the marine archaeologist, but now the action is a bit closer to home: the icy waters of Lake Superior. What hasnât changed, though, is Heatonâs brisk adventure thriller tone, which sees the action coming on thick and fast, with the political intrigue as murky as the depths. We donât dive into too many spoilers with Jason, but we do find out how this novel is different to his first, just how much of Tusker is recognisably Jason, and more. Of course, we also chat about the rest of Jasonâs life, from dipping his toes back into watches and how the impossibly cool podcast, The Grey NATO, is going from strength to strength. And before all that, we chat about why Zodiac nails the creative use of colour.

Jean-Claude Biver is one of the most important individuals in modern watchmaking, a man with a legendary CV and a long legacy. These days, though, itâs his own name on the dial, and when Felix had a surprise interview at Dubai Watch Week, it was finding out how Biver senior has transitioned from running mega watch groups to working with a small family business. Of course, when you get the chance to chat with someone whoâs done it all, you ask the big questions about the future of the watch industry and whether or not itâs selfish to put your own name on the dial.
But before all this, we get the second instalment of our chat with Zodiacâs Mike Pearson and find out why the brand is focussing on its core.

Alan Bloore â better known as Hammer â is a legend in the world of collecting, particularly when it comes to Panerai. Heâs been collecting watches since the 1980s, and, in a few days, Hammerâs watch collection is going under the hammer at Sothebyâs New York. Hammer is selling because, in his own words, âitâs time to get my affairs in order.â
We talk about Hammerâs lifelong love of watches, Panerai and the Paneristi forum, as a maritime accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury and the first of many doctors asking, âare your affairs in orderâ. Nearly 20 years later, Hammer has lived an incredible second life, a life in which watches â and the watch community â played a central role. Hammer talks about what watches mean for him, and the connections heâs made based on these fascinating machines. In 2019, he had another accident, and doctors once again started to ask if his affairs were in order. For Hammer, a large part of his lifeâs affairs are his watches, and with this sale, he can say that yes, they are.
Before chatting to Hammer, we talk to Mike Pearson, Zodiacâs International Director of Brand Development, about the brandâs history, and how theyâre interpreting it today

Felix is back from sunny Dubai, and heâs got plenty of tales to tell. Andy and Felix debrief about the latest edition of this regional watch show with an ever-increasing international reach. From some absolutely wild wrist-spotting to even wilder weather, thereâs a lot going on at DWW, and thatâs before we get to the formal programming and watch releases. Andy takes a shine to the slimmer new Streamliner from Moser, and Felix chats about the non-watch release moments of the week that stood out.

Happy mid-November, everyone! Weâre slowly winding our way towards the end of the year, so we thought weâd check in and catch up with all the happenings and drama in the world of horology. Because make no mistake, there are happenings and drama a-plenty at the moment. Patek Philippe released a watch with a face on it, Andy almost bought a Greubel Forsey, and we have some thoughts about the GPHG winners. Finally, the Timepiece Gentleman faces jail time, as the FBI has arrested Anthony Farrer, charging him with wire fraud.

Worn & Wound has always had a clear point of difference from other watch websites, and Senior Editor Zach Kazan is one of the team whoâs making sure that Worn & Wound maintains a strong editorial voice. We chat to Zach about how his taste in watches has evolved from clean classics to incorporating funkier options like Worn & Woundâs recent laser tag-inspired Zodiac collaboration. Beyond watches, we also chat to Zach about the wonderful world of modern cinema, getting his take on Michael Mannâs upcoming sequel to the iconic heist flick Heat. If you want more, donât worry. We chat about Alone, Ed Sheeran, and various collab watches.

Felix and Andy catch up on whatâs been happening on and off the wrist. We chat through the latest watch releases from TAG Heuer and Nomos, as well as ID GenĂšveâs sustainable mission and new celebrity backer in the form of Leo DiCaprio. On top of that, Andy talks us through corporate shenanigans, according to Ms Tweed. Felix talks about the persistently bubbling drama that is Only Watch. There are also some new Artem straps out, which are as flexible as they are fantastic. On top of that, Andy deconstructs David Beckham, and we hype up Discord.

Today, we chat with Sylvain Berneron, a talented watch designer who â unusually for the Swiss watch industry â has dual responsibilities. Heâs in charge of design at Breitling, spending his days working on the latest evolutions of some of the most iconic sports chronographs ever made. On top of that, heâs also the founder of his own watch brand, Berneron, which has debuted the impressive, elegant Mirage, a shaped watch with a shaped movement that challenges many of the established conventions of watch design. Berneron explains the design and the very specific decisions that went into the Mirage and what his future plans for the Berneron brand are. Before that, Andy and Felix chat about Beckham, broken bones, Breguet, and falling down video rabbit holes.

Any episode of OT: featuring one of the Collective Horology gang is a guaranteed good time, and todayâs chat with Asher Rapkin is no exception. Ostensibly, Asher is on to talk about his latest release, an impressive, alternate history take on a Minerva monopusher. But even before we talk about what makes the watch stand out, we take a long and meandering trip through the industry's state, collectors' habits, and (naturally) Lou Bega.

Weâve finally made it, the big two zero zero. To celebrate, Andy and Felix ate some face cake off mic and then got down to the serious business of watch news. Felix chats about his recent jaunt to Sydney to check out IWCâs Big Pilot Roadshow, then Andy puts on his bowling shirt, heats up the gabagool and talks about watch spotting in Sopranos. Then, some speculation about the (now not rumoured) Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms (sadly not called the Swifty Swathoms), and they discuss the latest from Geneva Watch Days and also the totally objective GPHG nominations. Finally, Felix chats about the watch on his wrist, the perfectly petite Nomos Club Sport.

Double trouble today with Lewis Heath and Imogen Ayres, who you might know as founder and founding team member of anOrdain â but if youâre hoping for an in-depth chat on enamel, youâll be disappointed. Instead, weâre talking about Paulin Watches, a Scottish brand that anOrdain has recently acquired and has big plans for. Heath and Ayres explain how Paulinâs more design-focused, accessible identity means that the brand has more scope for experimentation than the anOrdain, with its time-consuming enamel dials and long waitlists. Of course, theyâve relaunched with a bang, in the form of the 35mm modular Modul, with some truly wild dials.

Todayâs episode comes straight from our secure audio archive â a short and razor-sharp chat with Zenith CEO Julien Tornare, recorded in the last days of Watches & Wonders. Felix chats with Julien about how he solved the problem of the brand being more famous for its movements than the name on the dial, how the brand went hyperactive during the pandemic, and what that momentum means for the future. We also chat about the art of choosing an ambassador and how the new Pilots watches redefine the brandâs relationship with the sky, opting for a more emotional connection rather than a technical one.

Todayâs guest is one of Watchproâs Hot 100, the NOS, LNIB Eric Wind, founder of Wind Vintage. We welcome Eric back, to chat (unsurprisingly), about vintage watches. Given whatâs been happening in the world of high-priced vintage timepieces, itâs unsurprising that we end up talking about integrity, legitimacy and if high prices and high expectations will lead to trouble down the road. We also find time to get a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at the sale of Scott Carpenterâs Speedy, and find out that if NBA draftees can rock a 36mm watch, you can too.

Andy caught up with H. Moser & Cie. boss Bertrand Meylan to chat about the wonderful, wild (and occasionally weird) world of Moser watches.

They also chat about the challenges of maintaining and evolving the brandâs famously creative spirit. Before that, Felix and Andy chat about corporate watch media ownership, Ken, Fletch and big Dris.

Here at OT: weâre big fans of a watch-related Newsletter, and Owen Lawtonâs 3-Watch Thursday hits all the right punchy news notes. Owenâs also a talented watch photographer, so we figured we should get in touch and find out what makes him tick â so to speak. From material sciences to watch spotting in Oxford, Owen talks to us about his horological interests and his take on watches in 2023. Before that, Andy gives us the run-down of the 37mm Nomos Club Sport, which offers a different flavour of Nomos, thanks to its sporty bracelet, and smaller size.

This week we welcome back Nicholas Biebuyck for the fourth (or maybe fifth) appearance on OT:, but heâs in Melbourne, so it would be rude not to. Andy chats to Nicholas about the just-released Skipper, and what a heritage reissue should look like in 2023. They also talk cars, the importance of integrity in heritage watches and why TAG Heuer is such a strong brand in Australia. Before that, Felix and Andy run through some of the highlights from the upcoming Only Watch 2023 auction.

Today we dive into the annals of horological history, to discover a tale of watchmaking on the world stage in the nineteenth century, a time when America's star was rising, and the Swiss national industry was facing a host of challenges. Aaron Stark, author of Disrupting Time, tells how Jacques David and Theo Gribi, two Swiss spies, travelled to America, and actively worked to gather information on their American competition and develop a strategy to bring the Swiss industry into the 20th century. Before this high-stakes spy drama, there's the usual low-stakes shenanigans.

This week we take a quick trip to funky town, with SĆ Labs co-founder Rick Cosgrove as our tour guide. Rick talks us through his influences and the challenges heâs come across so far, but mostly we talk about the watches. SĆ Labs is a young Chicago-based brand with an unconventional design proposition. Layers. Layers and colours. The traditional layout of hands and numbers isnât a part of SĆ Labs design language; instead, the brand uses a series of colourful shapes to create a layered effect that is surprisingly intuitive but also not like anything else youâd see on the market. Novel looks will only get you so far, so it's fortunate that the brand has the build quality to back it up.

No guests this week; instead, we look back at some notable releases over the last month, including the latest from Seiko and TAG Heuer. Andy checks out Rolexâs 2023 releases IRL, and Artem Straps is back with another luscious strap. The big story of the week comes from Omega, in particular the story of a record-breaking Speedmaster that was sold by Phillips in 2021, which is a key piece of evidence in an ongoing investigation into, what Omega alleges is organised criminal activity.

This week Felix chats with the Managing Director of Montblancâs Watch Division, Laurent Lecamp. For an interview about watchmaking, we spend a surprising amount of time discussing nature, specifically ice, glacial and otherwise. But donât worry, it all ties into watches â as is immediately apparent with the 1858 Iced Sea collection in blue, black and green. Beyond the impressive dials, the most remarkable aspect of this watch design is the dolphin-inspired bezel. Before we get Laurent on the line, though, Andy and Felix talk about the watches of Succession season four and whether or not Spider-Man on a watch (Audemars Piguet, natch) works.

Andy has referred to todayâs guest as the âFelix Scholz of the UKâ, but to everyone else, heâs known as Tim Barber and is, just quietly, a far more professional watch journalist than Felix will ever be. We chat to Tim about how his descent into the world of watches, as well as his take on Davide Cerratoâs new job as Bremont CEO, anOrdainâs latest, MoonSwatch and the future of the Swatch Group. Before that, itâs a mixed bag of possibly sociopathic hit men, missing princesses and Tudor watches.

Hannes Pantli describes himself as part of the inventory at IWC. We described him as a legend. Both of these things are true. Mr Pantli started his career with IWC in 1972 and has seen the tides of IWC ebb and flow over the years. We talk about the genesis of Gerald Gentaâs Ingenieur design, from how it was received at the time and how itâs changed over the years, and why Genta stands out as âtheâ famous watch designer. Before that, Andy and Felix talk about the cycle of watch enthusiasm, and Andy gets salty on TikTok.

IWCâs 2023 release slate has a singular focus â the Ingenieur. This cult classic integrated sports watch has made its triumphant return to the catalogue, and it was one of the major talking points of Watches & Wonders. Two people talking about it were Felix and IWC Museum Curator David Seyfer, and itâs this chat weâve got for you today. Seyfer delves into the history of this significant design, how he accidentally had the original sketches hidden in the basement, and why he thinks Gerald Genta would approve of this update.

Fun fact, if you scroll all the way back in the episode listings of OT:, youâll see that our very first episode was an interview with Chris Alexander, AKA the Dial Artist. Chris was coming up in the world, riding the wave of the Casioak with his beautifully customised dials, as we, well, we were a humble podcast just starting out. So imagine our surprise when Felix ran into Chris at Watches & Wonders three years later: we just had to have a quick chat. On top of that, Andy and Felix chat about the Chase for Carrera, a short film starring Ryan Gosling and Vanessa Bayer. Thereâs also the latest Hublot Sang Bleu collab, a one-of-a-kind Rolex and the surprisingly entertaining Mario movie.
This weekâs episode is brought to you by TAG Heuer, who celebrate 60 years of the iconic Carrara. Find out more about this legendary chronograph here.

Watches & Wonders might be well in the rear view, but that hasnât stopped us from continuing to tell tales from the great Geneva fair. Today we have a lightning round interview with Anthony Traina and Mark Kauzlarich of Hodinkee fame, and Felix tells us about his visit to the Ulysse Nardin Manufacture, including the DonzĂ© Cadrans dial manufacturing facility. Thereâs also a smattering of Nomos, Beef and Nicholas Cage â you know, the usual.

Beyond that, we have some thoughts and feelings about recent watch releases, including Langeâs unobtanium chronograph, the revival of Gerald Genta, Tudorâs talking factory and whether or not Ben Clymer talking time with Kermit is hypocrisy or the greatest interview theyâve ever run.

Watches & Wonders 2023 is now behind us, so naturally weâve spent a little time reflecting on the good, the not so good and the great. And when we say âsome timeâ we meant, a seriously sleep deprived Felix and an overworked Andy had an informal chat about what it was like on the ground, some other highlights on the ground, and whoâs booth was best. As if that wasnât enough, thereâs also a rapid-fire chat with TAG Heuerâs Heritage Director Nicholas Biebuyck about the history of the Carrera.

In a move surprising absolutely no one, this weekâs episode is all about Watches & Wonders 2023. Felix is on the ground, wheeling, dealing - and serving up the fresh news and hottest takes from the fair!
Recorded earlier this week, Felix and Andy discuss the blue chip releases from the big brands.
Andy gives us the view from afar on the bold moves from Rolex, and the less dramatic Patek novelties. Felix gives his very early impressions on Tudorâs new Black Bayâs and the very impressive suite of new Carreras coming out of TAG Heuer.
Finally, before Felixâs voice gave out on him entirely, there was some brief chat about Cartier and other highlights.

Weâve spoken to our share of UK-based watchmakers over the years, and one name that kept popping up was Struthers Watchmaking. So it was somewhat inevitable that we would speak to them at some point. We chatted to Dr Rebecca Struthers, one half of Struthers Watchmaking, about how she ended up as a watchmaker, and more importantly, where sheâs taking it â specifically the gorgeous and exclusive Project 248. But itâs not just watches that Rebecca crafts, sheâs also on the eve of publishing Hands of Time, A Watchmakers History of Time, which takes us through 40,000-odd years of timekeeping with precision and style.

Today we chat with Giles Ellis, the infectiously passionate founder of Schofield Watches. Ellis has been making his distinctively-cased watches since 2010. Ellis started making watches for the best possible reason â he was looking for a watch he wanted to wear, and nothing on the market at the time was quite right, so he made his own. The brand came about organically after that, and Ellis has stuck to his design principles since then. We also chat to Ellis about why UK watchmaking has the appeal and cachet that it does, and what a watch inspired by Japan looks like. Before that, Felix and Andy chat about why the latest MoonSwatch is an object lesson in hype management and why Mr Porterâs list of the best watch podcasts is on the money.

Recently Andy has been raving about a well-sized, vintage-inspired chronograph thatâs had a firm place on his wrist for the last few weeks: The Antigua from MĂ©raud Watches. So it only made sense to get the founder of this boutique Belgian brand â Stijn Busschaert â on for a chat. Stijn tells us how passion led him to start his own brand, and how a burgeoning new wave of online independents has supercharged the space. Of course, we also dig into the details of the Antigua, in particular the vintage Landeron 248 movements Stijn sourced, to ensure a pure spirit and slim profile. Plus, an unlikely Unimatic collab and possible big corporate moves.

After years of low-key stalking, a royal stack of Rolex Midas models was all it took for Felix to invite Anders, AKA @everydaycollector onto the pod. Anders, hailing from sunny Norway has a stunning collection of watches, including the aforementioned Rolex. On top of that, thereâs vintage Cartier, Royal Oaks, Vacheron Constantin 222s and more. All these watches are incredibly hot right now, but Anders has been ahead of the curve. We talk about approaches to collecting, design watches and what itâs like to be the worldâs first Aeropress world champion.

Weâre officially one-twelfth of the way through the year, and the watch releases are coming thick and fast â just like Andyâs love of the new 37mm Royal Oak in yellow gold with a turquoise dial. Honestly, he hasnât been so excited about a watch since Rolex released a watch with a turquoise dial. Maybe itâs just turquoise. Aside from AP, thereâs also the new chonky Speedy hiding impressive innovation inside. Then there are the Daniel Craig Conspiracy theories. What more do you need?

Itâs been a long time since UK-born, NYC-residing visual artist and all-around geezer Phil Toledano, AKA Mister Enthusiast, graced OT: â too long, honestly. We started our interview with a clear direction and purpose, to grill him about weird cars, oddball watches and the latest trends in jumpsuits, but our conversation quickly veered very left of centre. Sure, we spoke to Phil about many of these topics, as well as his upcoming watch venture, the fabled four-way collab and his love of all things Italian.

As if watches werenât niche enough. Today we dive into the vintage watch ad rabbit hole with Nick Federowicz, better known by his online persona of Ad Patina. Nick makes a living scouring the world for old copies of obscure magazines and finding the nostalgic treasures encased within. Not only do these ads offer a period-correct glimpse of our favourite watches, they shine a light on the world in which they were created, and show us just how much it has changed. Nick explains to us that while these ads show us the watches, what they really offer is a glimpse into the past.
On top of all that, Felix and Andy talk through some of their favourite new releases, including the standouts of LVMH Watch Week, and the re-launched Cartier Tank Française, but more on that next week.

Kim Frank wears many hats. Sheâs a writer, editor and explorer. In fact, sheâs a fellow at the Explorers Club and was recently the recipient of the Explorers Club Rolex Award. Kim tells us exactly what this is, what it entails and what it's really like to wear a Rolex while working on stories about how Asian elephants co-exist with humans in the Eastern Himalayas. We also learn about her love of other old watches, old cars and some lessons from a life well travelled. But before that meaningful content, Andy and Felix discuss wrestlers turned actors, glass onions and the dream of the four-way watch collab.

Happy New Year, everyone! Weâre kicking off 2023 in fine form with none other than veteran watch and jewellery writer Victoria Gomelsky. It seems like every other week, one of us is referencing one of Victoriaâs excellent articles for The New York Times, Robb Report or one of the other excellent titles Victoria writes for. So we pretty much had to get her on, and we are so glad we did. From what trade publications can teach you about the business of watches and how watches and jewellery intersect. Throughout all of it, we get Victoriaâs take on macro trends, through to whatâs hot (or not) in watches, from sustainability and lab-grown stones, and what a slowing global economy might mean for the business of watches.

The brandâs debut watch is the HN000, which features a sporty case with an unusual profile, a stunning dial and a solid Schwarz-Etienne calibre. Bazerkanianâs influences range from Franck Muller to LA-architecture as well as watchmaking's traditional masters. Design aside, we talk to Aren about the challenges and joys of working with Swiss suppliers and shifting timelines.

Itâs December, which means itâs time for us to look back on the year that was (and think about the year that will be). So we thought weâd take, as inspiration, a year old Robb Report wrap of industry predictions from the likes of Kelly Yoch, William Massena and more and grade them for how well they turned out.

So much of the discussion in the watch space is around the acquisition of new watches. Yet the other untold side of the story is that for every watch bought, another is sold. Mark Cho (The Armoury) is balancing the scales. Heâs selling off the bulk of his collection to fund the expansion of his business, The Armoury, and heâs doing it through Phillips.
Rather than anonymously consign his watches, Mark has made a custom site â called The Beauty in Everything â showcasing the watches and some of the stories behind them. Even if youâre not in the market for a new watch, itâs well worth having a look at Markâs significant and very tasteful collection.
None of Mark Choâs watches came on Artem straps. Donât make the same mistake. Buy one here.

Todayâs guest, John Buckley, casts a long shadow over the world of vintage Rolex. He's a veteran of the New York watch scene who has seen trends come and hype go, which makes the fact that heâs TikTok famous somewhat surprising. Buckleyâs TikTokâs follow him on his visits to the dealers of 47th street and gives you a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing of watches far removed from the white glove service of the boutique environment.
Gem-set Daytonas sit in plastic pouches, waiting to be plucked out by John, who will inevitably ask, âhow much is this $60,000 watch.â We find out what John thinks about the watch market's state, why heâs on TikTok and why a reality watch TV show might be coming to a streaming service near you.
This episode is sponsored by G-Shock Australia. This week, in our retrospective exploration of the iconic model, we discuss the watch in the 2000s. Eminem, Bieber and all the other cool kids wear them. Stay tuned for more on the future of the digital icon, and discover more at G-Shock Australia.
Artem straps! Theyâre great. Find out about them here.

We also chat to Kristen about American taste in watches and how the industry is evolving to incorporate more diverse perspectives. Before that, Felix and Andy weigh in on the brand new (and very big) Deepsea Challenge, and why Kenny Rogersâ Zodiac is an unsung piece of horological history.

We enjoyed our chat with Chris Hall so much that we just had to have him back, and we did! Chris chats to us about his exceptionally good Substack, The Fourth Wheel, which provides him with an avenue to share a broader scope of stories and insights about the world of watches. And while the newsletter is great, we thought weâd get his patented âFourth Wheelâ take on some of the latest releases â including Omegaâs surprising pair of chiming watches, as well as Chrisâ hands-on thoughts about the Bremont Supernova (and what it means for the future of the brand), and why TAG Heuerâs confidence is paying off (hello Mario!)

What does it say about the state of the luxury watch business when two of the worldâs pre-eminent Australian-based podcast-hosting watch experts are more into releases from Apple and Google than Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet? Weâre not sure, but that doesnât stop us from diving into it. Yes, we talk about the new Patek releases, AKA the Stern family edging well-heeled watch nerds with overpriced steel sports watches (as well as some genuinely cool stuff), and Audemars Piguetâs 800-stone monochromatic gem-coated flex set.
Really though, we had a lot more fun with the smartwatches. Andy has been rocking the Apple Watch Ultra for a while, and itâs changed his relationship with smartwatches.
Felix, on the other hand, is finally enjoying a âmanufactureâ Android smartwatch, the Google Pixel.

This week, our episode lasts about an hour, and to be honest, we only scratch the surface of the stories our guest, Stan Barrett, has to tell. Not only has Stan lived a remarkable life â a stuntman with over 50 years of experience. Heâs also a race car driver who, in 1979, strapped into the Budweiser rocket car and broke the speed of sound â becoming the fastest man on the land. But naturally, our conversation drifted to his friend and colleague Paul Newman. Stan worked as Paulâs stunt double in many movies, and they became fast friends. Stan also talks about the watches (and Volvo station wagon) Paul gave him over the years and why heâs auctioning them off for charity.

Australia is about as far away from the watchmaking centres of the world as it's possible to get. That hasn't stopped Reuben Schoots, hailing from our nations capital, from learning the art, and building his own watch, from scratch. Several years ago, while Schoots was recovering from chronic illnesses he picked up while travelling, he was introduced to the world of mechanical watches and dived in head-first. Like many people newly enamoured with the topic, he picked up a copy of George Daniels' Watchmaking. Unlike many people he understood it.
More than that, he undertook his own Daniels-inspired watchmaking project. This led to an interest in tool-making and, later, CNC technology. Next thing you know, Schoots has pre-sold six pieces from his first series, and watchmaking in Australia might very well be about to enter a new era.

In this episode, we managed to do what rugby teams worldwide have been failing to do for years â pin down Beauden Barrett. We caught the All Black and Tudor ambassador between matches and chatted about the life and pressures of being one of the best rugby players in the world in one of the most legendary teams of all time. Naturally, we also talked about Tudor, its legacy, and how to travel with a watch.
Before that, Andy and Felix contemplate the death of Watchville and look back at the important role it played in the ever-evolving watch internet, as well as ponder what might come next.

In the middle of our chat with Carson Chan, Chief Advisor to the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, he makes a bold claim â that no other type of object has changed from the category of âneedâ to the category of âwantâ as profoundly as the wristwatch. Since recording the call, Andy and Felix have been wracking their brains for a better answer â but still havenât come up with one. This insight is one of Carsonâs many pearls of wisdom. We also speak about his role at the FHH, the state of collecting, the future of the industry and how to improve the GPHG. On top of that, Carson effortlessly schools Felix and Andy with one of his fiendish Instagram quizzes. Suffice it to say a good time was had by all.

This week Andy and Felix catch up with Neha Bajpai, a veteran of the watch journalism biz whoâs currently looking after Wristcheckâs editorial. Neha shares her experience in watches â including her deep and abiding love for the recently released Moser Streamliner Vantablack Tourbillon in Red Gold.
More than that, we find out the sort of stories that Neha loves to write and why commerce-based sites are writing (arguably) better watch stories than watch news sites. We also get a crash course on the Indian watch scene and find out why Breguet is such a big deal in India.

This week we talk about two extremes in watchmaking. First, Andy and Felix ponder the theory that 2022 might actually be one of the most unexciting years on record when it comes to watch releases. Secondly, Felix speaks to a man who directly contradicts this claim â CEO and Creative Director of Van Cleef & Arpels, Mr Nicolas Bos. Van Cleef & Arpelâs watchmaking is less concerned with the passing of minutes and seconds and more about creating emotion.
This is why, in the world of VC&Aâs poetic storytelling, youâre likely to find the time being told with a flower or the wing of a fairy. We chat to Mr Bos about the importance of this approach and the brandâs Extraordinary Objects, one-off creations that combine high jewellery skills, timekeeping and automata that definitely live up to the name.

Our conversation with veteran vintage watch dealer Jacek Kozubek starts off strong as we dive into the finer point of the perfect Hawaiian shirt. From that point on, we get a little more on-topic and find out what it takes to become a vintage watch dealer and, more importantly, what it takes to sustain it for 14 years. From market highs and occasional lows, itâs clear Jacek is in it for the long haul, talking to us about the realities of dealing and imparting some hard-earned watch-collecting wisdom.

Our conversation with veteran vintage watch dealer Jacek Kozubek starts off strong as we dive into the finer point of the perfect Hawaiian shirt. From that point on, we get a little more on-topic and find out what it takes to become a vintage watch dealer and, more importantly, what it takes to sustain it for 14 years. From market highs and occasional lows, itâs clear Jacek is in it for the long haul, talking to us about the realities of dealing and imparting some hard-earned watch-collecting wisdom. Plus, he tells us about some of the weirdest areas of Rolex collecting, like fast-food Airkings and the Ttridor watches â for when three tones are better than two.

One of the late 20th centuryâs most distinctive watch designs comes from the design-led brand Ikepod, founded by Marc Newson. Today we speak with the current owner and custodian of this cult brand, Christian-Louis Col. Col, who talks about Ikepod's history and significance as a concept watch and how it became of the first âitâ watches of the silicon valley set. We also chatted about his future plans for the brand and how Kanye West wearing a gold Ikepod on the cover of GQ wasnât a viral marketing dream come true.

Time for a taste of something a little different. No watches this week, only whisky. We speak to Gordon Dundas, a whisky industry veteran who is International Brand Ambassador for Ian Macleod Distillers, responsible for well-known (and well-aged) Glengoyne. We find out from Gordon why time and place make whisky such a special drink, and learn a little about the business of whisky. And itâs a business with (perhaps) surprising parallels to watches in terms of the importance of heritage and tradition, but also when it comes to the challenges facing the business in 2022. Certainly, both industries are increasingly global, and growing interest has led to vexing issues of supply and demand. So, settle in for a fascinating chat about the wonderful world of whisky.

Todayâs guest is fellow Melbourne-based watch podcaster Roman, host of Independent Thinking on Fifth Wrist. Roman and Felix talk about the appeal and importance of independent, artisanal watchmaking, especially when compared to the mainstream Swiss offering. They discuss the appeal of nostalgia, why Roman is so down on Rolex, and what it takes to find obscure watches for sale on the internet and even ⊠Cash Converters?
This weekâs episode is sponsored by TAG Heuer. Felix thinks the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph is one of the best watches of the year. Do you agree?

Today marks our 150th official episode, and we canât think of a better guest to celebrate on this auspicious occasion than the great Stephen Pulvirent. Today Pulvirent creates beautiful art through his artistic photography practice, as well as more commercially-geared creativity through his agency Rime and Reason. But most people will recognise him from his time at Hodinkee. After Felix and Stephen reminisce on the early days of Hodinkee, Pulvirent tells us why heâs enjoying watches as a hobbyist, as well as reflect on how he played a role in shaping contemporary watch culture.
This episode is sponsored by TAG Heuer. Today Andy and Felix chat about the hard-to-miss Orange Aquaracer.

If youâre a fan of vintage Heuer and TAG Heuerâs history, todayâs guest Nicholas Biebuyck has the dream job - as the Heritage Director at TAG Heuer. Itâs not a role you step into without living, breathing (and most likely dreaming), Carreras, Autavias and all the rest.
However, while we certainly talk about TAG Heuerâs famed automotive legacy and expertise in chronographs, we spend a surprising amount of time exploring the brandâs history of dive watches, which started way back in 1978. After listening to Nicholasâ passion and enthusiasm, we promise youâll find something new to love about this iconic brand.

Yoni Ben-Yehuda is the Head of Watches at Material Good and Audemars Piguet x Material Good, one of Americaâs premier watch retailers. We chat to Yoni about where high-end watch retail has come from, where itâs at right now and what sets Material Good apart. Yoni also doesnât shy away from tricky questions on how dealers allocate in-demand stock and what collectors can do to get their dream watch.

This week we dusted off the (sapphire) crystal ball and gazed into the multiverse of madness, and played out some hypothetical watch scenarios. What if Rolex doubled production in a few years? Could Apple make a mechanical watch? Will sports watches ever go out of style, and what would it take for Andy to buy a Seahawk. In this light-hearted rundown of (mostly) unlikely situations, we play out the scenarios, to mixed success. But not everything in this episode is made up, the new Ahoi is very solid indeed, and Huaweiâs battery life has no right to be that good.
The episode is sponsored by NOMOS GlashĂŒtte, tune in to hear Felix diving into the Ahoi Atlantic. Check it out for yourself here.

We joke about National Treasure a lot on OT: But this week, we get as close as weâre ever likely to get to the real deal with explorer, lawyer and exploration consultant David Concannon. His CV covers off multiple dives to the Titanic, the discovery of the worldâs deepest wooden shipwreck and helping Jeff Bezos find Apollo 11âs engines, and thatâs just the top line. Concannon also explains how exploration and the law are firmly entwined, and gives us a crash course on the economics of exploring. Of course, we also talk about watches, and his surprising friendship with one of Hollywoodâs greatest stuntmen.

Today we speak to Gerry Nelson, one of Melbourneâs best dressed and a master of the knit fit. Naturally, we get some top tips on shawl collars and sweaters, but we also find out why Gerry suddenly got back into watches and why, after years of wear, he decided Rolex wasnât for him. In a period of a few short months, Gerry has a stacked watch box, full of key pieces that arenât the usual suspects. We talk through some of the selections and find out where a watch fits into Gerryâs style language and wardrobe, as well as what comes next. On top of that, Andy and Felix share their thoughts on some colourful IWC Pilotâs, a brand on the rise and some over-the-top action.

Strap into the cockpit with Andy âFlexâ Green and his RIO Felix âMeathookâ Scholz as they take it to the limit one more time in this high-intensity, adrenaline-fuelled episode. From debating the correct pronunciation of âmachâ and analysing the IWC Pilotâs Watches that made a big-screen appearance, itâs fair to say Top Gun Maverick lives up to the hype. Speaking of hype, thereâs a new AP collab with Carolina Bucci, curveball chronometry from Zenith and some retro Navy SEALS action. Honestly, who needs guests?

The Hilltop Hoods have more than earned their place as Hip Hop royalty in Australia. The pioneering trio has racked up massive numbers of streams and awards aplenty, as well as supporting up and coming artists. So it was only a matter of time before they teamed up with another legend in the hip hop scene, G-Shock. OT: caught up with Mat and Dan (AKA Suffa and Pressure) to talk about the finer points of what the Hilltop Hoods want in a watch, life on the road, and, of course, the importance of Gary.

Today we speak to Dr Lorenz Brunner, the Farther of Ceratanium, about materials technology at IWC Schaffhausen. And IWC is a leader in the field of ceramics. The brand uses ceramic in cases, of course, but is also the only maker to serially produce ceramic movement components. We also find out about the difficulty and nuance involved in getting coloured ceramic just right and finding the balance between materials inspiring design and vice versa. On top of that, Andy and Felix chat about the return of TAG Heuerâs Monaco Dark Lord and their return to IRL events.

Since he became Creative Director back in 2008, Christian Knoop has been responsible for the subtle and sophisticated task of shepherding IWCâs design direction into a new era. Designers, as Knoop says, see the world differently, viewing the world through a discerning lens of function and form. We spoke to Knoop in the midst of Watches & Wonders about the challenges of updating iconic designs, the need to stay relevant while resisting trends and his favourite releases so far.

Randy writes for A Collected Man, Wristcheck, Bosshunting and more, but his opinions are all his own, and heâs not afraid to share them. Before Randy, we talk pixels, Rebels, and the PRX.

You canât venture too deep into the waters of vintage Tudor without coming across Ross Povey. His love for the brand that was once seen as Rolexâs âlittle brotherâ stemmed from seeing quirky, colourful dials of vintage Tudor chronographs and from there, things escalated quickly. Povey talks to us about the rapid renaissance of the once-forgotten brand, and what they got right at Watches & Wonders 2022. And because Povey refuses to be easily categorised, he also has a deep and abiding love of gem-set Rolex. So we find out how the infamous (and Nick Cage endorsed) leopard print Daytona has evolved from an object of ridicule to cult cool.

In this weekâs episode, Andy chats to R.T. Custer, the man behind one of the most interesting American watch brands, Vortic. We find out how a college project into American-made turned into a viable business which almost didnât make it because of a prolonged legal battle with one of the Swiss industry giants. In 2020, Vortic walked away from the five-year legal battle as the victor, and has wasted no time getting down to business, upcycling old pocketwatches into new wrist-friendly watches. Andy finds out about the realities of preserving the great era of American watchmaking and some of the lessons RT Custer has learned along the way. On top of that, Felix and Andy finally see watches IRL again, including Rolex, Rado and Oris. They also chat about how Panerai is leading the way in sustainable watchmaking.

Five years ago, Michael Culyba, like many of us, fell in love with the world of mechanical watches. Michael, unlike the rest of us, turned that passion into a feature-length documentary. Keeper of Time explores the world of independent watchmaking, and the meaning of time itself in a beautiful, educational, and at times poignant way. Featuring the stories of Philippe Dufour, Roger Smith, François-Paul Journe and Max BĂŒsser, and a host of other industry leaders. Itâs an enormously engaging work and an impressive directorial debut for Culyba.

Zoe Abelson, AKA @watchgirloffduty, is one of the internetâs best-known watch dealers. With a feed comprising of colourful, quirky watches in often exotic locales, itâs easy to assume that being an international watch dealer is a non-stop glamour fest. And while Zoe doesnât exactly disprove the notion, she tells us about the decade of non-stop work in some of the worldâs most well-respected watch businesses that led her to step out on her own and start Graal Limited. We also find out about the finer points of sourcing a specific watch, as well as what sort of requests she canât stand. All that, plus a dash of F1 and a spritz of Spice Girls, make this an unmissable episode.

The proverbial dust has settled on Watches and Wonders, which, by all accounts was a successful return to form for the watch fair. This week, Andy and Felix talk through the highlights (and some of the more controversial releases) from the comfort of their own homes.
Breitlingâs 70th anniversary relaunch of the Navitimer in the skies of Switzerland kicked affairs off, followed by a flurry of eyebrow-raising releases from Rolex, Patek Philippe and others. Tudor and TAG Heuer did well and Cartier crushed it as per usual. Finally Felix and Andy pick their early faves from the fair, with Andy keeping it humble in platinum and Felix fell in love with the elegance of solar power.
This episode is sponsored by Breitling. Head into your local boutique to check out the new Navitimer, or head to breitling.com and buy it online.
Oh, and Felix is also (still) in love with his Artem Strap â check them out here.

Earlier this week, Breitling took to the skies (literally) to relaunch the iconic Navitimer, a watch that, 70 years ago, defined the pilotâs watch with its functionality and purpose. Today though, we chat to the man who masterminded the relaunch, Breitling CEO Georges Kern. Kern has, throughout his long career in the watch business, been a dynamic leader with a strong vision of what a successful watch brand looks like. Felix finds out how in a few short years, heâs steered the brand into its most authentic expression yet, and how the Navitimer has maintained its relevance in an era of ubiquitous technology. On top of that, we get Mr Kernâs take on the state of supply, demand and the watch market.
Before that though, Andy and Felix chat about MoonSwatch drama, Tiffanyâs questionable NFTs and what itâs like on the ground in Geneva.

Today we chat with Michelle Ciesielski, Head of Residential Research at Knight Frank Australia, about their annual wealth report, which gives us a detailed overview of what Australia's 20k or so ultra-high net worth individuals spend their coin on. Turns out they're spending it on watches, whiskey and other investments of passion more than ever before, and Michelle tells us the investment is paying off. On top of that, there's change at the top of watch media's 10,000-pound gorilla, as Hodinkee announces a new CEO and OT's very own good vegan Andy give us straight sauce on some bad vegans.
This episode is sponsored by Edifice Watches. This week Andy and Felix chat about the versatile EFV140D-3A. Check it out here.

Double trouble this week with the horological/photographic power couple that is Lydia Winters and Vu Bui. With a shared love of watches, photography and videography, it was only a matter of time before these passions combined into a YouTube channel, called (appropriately enough) Winters & Bui. We talk about their plans for the channel, the importance of authenticity and why quality content will always shine through.
Naturally, we get some practical photography tips and find out about Lydiaâs love of Hasselblad. And while the shared couples watch might be the dream for many people, it isnât something that works for Vu and Lydia, so we get their take on inter-relationship watch trading and what itâs like to actually wear (and scratch) a hype watch.
But before all that, Felix and Andy talk about how Wordle can save the internet and why we need to stop comparing new releases (hello Omega!) to Rolex.

Today we chat with veteran footballer and Head coach of Sydney FC, Steve Corica. We chat to Steve about the changing profile of football in Australia, what it's like to make the move from player to coach and how technology and science are changing the game. And given that Edifice is a fresh team sponsor, we chat about the importance of timing and the culture of footballers' watches.
In other news, Andy must have been enjoying a spice-heavy diet recently, as he's full of hot takes. First up, he makes some strong arguments as to why watch spotting is played out and needs to fade away. From then on, we ponder just what it would take for Franck Muller to return to its early noughties glory (Felix is sceptical).

This weekâs guest is one of the top five Jamesâ weâve ever had on the show, vintage expert and the man behind Analog:Shift, James Lamdin. James drops his knowledge about how the vintage landscape has changed since heâs been in the game, including what a massive influx of new watch enthusiasts means for the market.
From the story behind Analog/Shift - from its inception in 2012 through to its acquisition by Watches of Switzerland in 2020. We tackle that perennial chestnut of defining a vintage watch, as well as Bond villainy and under-rated Aston Martins.
This episode is sponsored by Edifice watches. Listen in to hear what Andy and Felix think about the EQB1100 collection, packed with solar power, Bluetooth and more. You can find out more at Edifice Australia here.

The brand is named after Jonnyâs grandfather and is celebrating its fifth birthday this year. We chat to Jonny about the importance of giving back, how up-cycling is integrated into every watch and how William Woodâs watch design has evolved over the years. We also find out a few very special surprises Jonny has on hand to celebrate the big 0-5, like a bold bronze number and a pretty wild custom bike.

Game, set and Matt. Todayâs guest is Matt Ebden, one of Australiaâs best tennis pros, and we speak to him fresh from the 2022 Australian Open, where he and Max Purcell made it to the menâs doubles final. Beyond his obvious on-court skills, anyone checking out Ebdenâs Instagram will notice heâs a pretty keen watch enthusiast as well, so itâs no surprise that heâs got Bremont on board as a sponsor. We chat about the many links between pro athletes and fine timepieces, brand endorsements and connected watches on the court. Before they chat to Matt, Andy and Felix ponder what a watch with Jean-Claude Biverâs name on the dial would look like.

This week we keep it local with Nick Kenyon, the editor of Australian site Boss Hunting. But before he was talking yachts, rocks and crocs he was a full-time watch guy, having worked with Felix at Time+Tide. Nick drops knowledge on the current watch market, how the niche influences the mainstream and what the anOrdain Model 2 OT: Edition is like on the wrist. Plus, Felix hypes up 1999 and Andy throws his dad under the bus.

No time for guests when we've got so much hard-hitting watch news to digest. First of all, two titans in their respective fields square off: it's Ed Sheeran V Ben Clymer in 50 minutes of civilised watch chat. Then we escalate into the world of bright blue watches, with Zachary Lu being revealed as the (eventual) buyer of the first Tiffany blue Nautilus auctioned off by Phillips for a cool $6 million. From there, we talk about the Arnault's chess-flex, and Succession style rumours of corporate takeovers, along with new management for AP, new owners for GP and UN, and finally, some new TAG Heuer. Honestly, this episode has it all.

A lot has changed for The Vamps guitarist James McVey since we chatted to him in 2020. Heâs managed to get married, and we get to hear the finer details of wedding watches, cars and castles. On top of that, McVey has fallen deeper down the rabbit-hole of watches, discovering microbrands, G-shock and Bremont. As if that wasnât enough, heâs also managed to track down his grail Rolex â and is getting ready to wear it all over the world. But before the main course, Andy and Felix talk about spicy crypto bros, Ricky Gervais and why Bobby Bourke from Queer Eye needs a watch brand deal.

Think about high-end guillochĂ© and chances are, you think about a chalet-like Maison somewhere in the snowy Swiss hills. The urban sprawl of Los Angeles, California â not so much. Nonetheless, this is where some of the finest engine turning in the world is being created right now â thanks to Joshua Shapiro. We chat with Shapiro about the fine art of engine turning, and what itâs like to invent your own unique guillochĂ© pattern. Shapiro talks about what drives his watchmaking and why â even if perfection isnât humanly possible â itâs still worth pursuing. We cover off collaboration, and Shapiro teases some details about the possibility of a Californian-made Shapiro Movement. And just in case that wasnât enough, Andy and Felix ponder the next big thing in watches.

This week we immerse ourselves for an hour in the world of one of the worldâs hottest (and hardest working) custom jewellers. A lotâs changed since we originally chatted to Greg Yuna in mid-2020, but heâs still out there, messing up factory watches and making them cooler in the process.
Not too long into our interview with iconic NYC jeweller Greg Yuna, he asks to speak freely. "I like fucking the watches up. I like ruining them." Of course, he's doing nothing of the sort â his stone setting of Patek, AP and Rolex is up there with the best (he's called The Cleanest for a reason). While some purists might argue that this sort of custom work is sacrilegious, Yuna has a long list of clients, including Drake, Meek Mill, Floyd Mayweather and Ariana Grande who would argue the opposite. But Yuna's work ethic is as flawless as his stones â the man does not stop and is always onto the next thing, be that a stone dialled Rolex Day-Date, consulting on and appearing Adam Sandler's Uncut Gems, launching a new line of jewellery or helping sell the Jacob & Co 'Billionaire' watch. Do not miss this. You'll laugh, you'll learn, you'll be inspired.

This week we look back at one of our (especially Andyâs) all-time favourite episodes; our chat with James Cox, the man who sold Paul Newmanâs Paul Newman âŠ
On the 26th of October, 2017, after 12 minutes of bidding, a Rolex Daytona reference 6239 that belonged to legendary actor Paul Newman was sold for $17,752,500 USD (including premiums). Itâs widely regarded as the most significant watch auction to date, not just for the hammer price achieved, but for the significance of the watch. In the room was James Cox, who, for decades, wore that watch on his wrist. That was nearly three years ago now, so we thought it was high time to catch up with James and revisit the story of âPaul Newmanâs Paul Newmanâ, how it ended up on Jamesâ wrist. We talk about what heâs done with the millions of dollars (hint: making the world a better place), why even he canât get a new Daytona at retail, and what watch has replaced the most famous Rolex in the world.

For our last episode of 2021, we catch up with a certified viral sensation and verified nice guy, Miles Fisher. We speak to Miles about how heâs been spending 2021, including trips to Dubai with Audemars Piguet with a side serving of Dubai Watch Week, and his rigorous collecting philosophy. But even if you donât follow Miles for his snappy watch collection or coffee-related content, youâve seen his work. Because Miles also has a double life as the man behind deepfake Tom Cruise, a parody account thatâs scarily good. We chat to Miles about how some funny Tom Cruise election videos turned into exploring bleeding-edge technology with incredible possibilities and serious ethical issues. And of course, we look back at 2021; the good, the great and the forgettable.

Cara Barrettâs back, and now sheâs at the helm of one of the coolest kidâs watch brands on the block, Parchie. We talk to Cara about what sheâs been up to since she left Hodinkee, which largely involves getting to grips with the global supply chain, wrangling designers and manufacturers to create a series of cute, colourful timepieces made with small people in mind.
Learn about the nuance of velcro straps and how life in the watch media prepared Cara for building a brand. We also talk about her growing Audemars Piguet problem, and what difference a few millimetres can make. Felix also talks about his love for well-muscled men, and Andy accidentally jumps onto the sneaker hype train.

In an OT: first, this episode features the guests outnumbering the hosts. Lung Lung Thun and Daniel Sum from The Waiting List podcast spend some time chatting to Felix about their thoughts on the hypiest of hype watches, the Tifanny-dialled Patek Philippe 5711 and quickly make it very clear that they are never getting one. But beyond this level of hot-take hijinks, we find out how Lung Lung deals with being low-key famous and get some fascinating insight into the reality and evolution of luxury watch brands and Chinese consumers.
We also chat old Movado, what itâs like to temporarily lose access to your collection and why Danâs a Reverso man. Of course, before the interview, Andy and Felix debrief on their debut collab, the anOrdain Model 2 OT: Edition, which came and went in less than 24 hours.

Hold onto your hats because OT: The Podcast has teamed up with everyone's favourite Glaswegian watchmaker, anOrdain, to make not one but two limited edition watches.
Top line, the watch is a 39.5mm version of anOrdain's field watch-inspired model 2, with a stunning vitreous enamel dial in off-white or pink, and a distinctive 3,6,9 layout. But to understand the watch, you need to understand anOrdain. This is where Lewis comes in. He talks about the genesis of the anOrdain in 2015, when he posted an ad for an enameler at the local arts college and went about learning the tricky art of enamel watch dials. We find out how design innovation can be the result of happy accidents and find out just what goes into a successful collaboration. We also find out what his favourite part of the new watch is (spoiler â it's the hands) and what he enjoyed most about working with Andy and Felix.
But back to the watch. Aside from the obvious details like the dial design and the larger case size, there are smaller touches to appreciate, too â like the seconds hand and track, as well as a caseback with an engraved map of Melbourne, Australia. The OT: Edition is a great example of the 'old crafts new hands' motto of anOrdain, pairing the traditional characteristics of an outdoors watch and anOrdain's expertise and unique typography with a lively colour palette perfectly in line with modern tastes.

A few months ago we ran an episode of hot takes, where we dialled up the spice with some controversial content from Discord and out very own heads. Well, weâre back at with round two. From bezels to watches as cosplay and even Felix throwing shade at the mighty MAD watch, we hold nothing back. Even before the user-generated content gets hot, weâve got plenty to talk about, from more Aussie boutiques, a unique Big Pilot for Kennedy, a cheery Minions watch plus Nicholas Cage and his pig.
This episode is brought to you by NOMOS GlashĂŒtte. Today Felix and Andy indulge in some hypothetical watch shopping, and chat about the new Orion in gold and silver. Find out more here.

From there, Foundwell was formed through a stint at Bergdorf Goodman, and Alan was off to the races. We find out how the scene has changed over the years (hint, cufflinks arenât cool right now), as well as his thoughts on why the watch market is white-hot.
We also stray into watch-adjacent territory, talking about why clocks, even those from makers like Cartier and Jaeger-LeCoultre, are under-rated. Before Alan joined the chat, Andy and Felix found the time to talk luxury toaster smartphones, retro-futuristic cars and why Nomos nails watch accessories.
This episode is brought to you by NOMOS GlashĂŒtte. Today we talk accessories and extras perfect for Christmas. From straps to postage stamps, you can always find something fun at NOMOS.

Today we talk to James Lamb, a British independent watchmaker who has taken a decidedly (and deliberately) old-school approach to his debut Origin series. While it's easy to be wowed by the four enamel dials (each inspired by one of the four elements), take a minute to appreciate the amount of skill and care that goes into handcrafting each case from a bar of Argentium silver â from the lathe-work to the soldering and the final polishing, all of it is 100 per cent Lamb.
Beyond the watch itself, we find out how Lamb went about creating his watch and went against the grain of feeling the need to polish every screw and bridge, instead focusing his skill and effort on the details that really make his watches stand out. Before all that, Andy and Felix accidentally chat about a bunch of blue watches from Blancpain, Tudor and Nomos.
This episode is brought to you by NOMOS GlashĂŒtte. Today we chat about the Nomos Club Sport neomatik 42 date blue, an all-terrain Club on a brand new bracelet. Check it out here.

Itâs that time of the year when everyone starts talking about lots, hammer prices and buyers premiums â yep, Auction season. Many of the major houses all hold significant auctions in Geneva, along with some more special events. One such, being the Pink Dial Project, a charity auction put together by Revolution and supported by other media platforms and held on Eric Kuâs Loupe This platform. We chat about the $500k plus result and the surprising watch that pulled in $172K.
We also catch up on the results of the star-studded Only Watch, another charity auction of unique pieces that saw five lots hammer in for more than one million francs, with the whole auction raising $32.1 USD. Then there are the less charitable lots, like a significant Dufour, and an early Omega that achieved an eye-watering record price. All this and more (G-Shock, sailcloth straps and GPHG analysis) in this weekâs episode.
This episode is brought to you by G-Shock Australia. Tune in to Andy chatting up the vivid red GM2100B-4A, and why it reminds him of that classic RTS game, Command & Conquer. To learn more about this G-Shock, head to g-shockaustralia.com.au

Today we chat to Sarah Hirini, the two-time Olympic gold medal-winning captain of New Zealandâs womenâs national rugby team, the Black Ferns. And as if that wasnât enough, sheâs also a Tudor ambassador, which puts her alongside Lady Gaga as one of the brandâs few female ambassadors. We talk to Sarah about what itâs like to represent NZ in the Olympics, how she channels Tudorâs born to dare attitude, and why womenâs rugby and professional womenâs sports generally are finally getting the attention they deserve. We also find out how sheâs liking the Black Bay 925 on the wrist. Andy and Felix also talk about rich kids, spies and metal G-Shocks.
This episode is brought to you by G-Shock Australia. Felix gives us the run-down on the GM-2100-1A and discovers a festive pair of limited editions. To learn more about the G-Shock, head to g-shockaustralia.com.au

Today we chat to one of the founding fathers of Aussie hip hop, the mighty **MC Bliss** (also known as Jonathan Notley) from **Bliss n Eso.** We talk about the origins of Bliss n Eso, their latest album The Sun and what makes Aussie hip hop unique, and how itâs evolving. Of course, we talk about the special relationship hip hop has to watches, and how G-Shock has remained relevant in a genre known for its love of flex. On the topic of G-Shock Bliss talks about some iconic Eminem moments and what it was like to do the first Aussie collaboration with the super-tough Japanese brand. Finally, we find out Blissâs surprising connection to hit drama Succession, and Felix and Andy get a little spooky with some Halloween suggestions.

This episode is something a little bit different. Several weeks ago, Andy and Felix hosted a very special evening for Cartier â exploring the Maisonâs watchmaking collections live in front of a select group of Australian guests. This presentation, which covered the importance of lines like Tank, PrivĂ© and fine watchmaking, explored the history and legacy of these collections as well as some highlight pieces, watches like the Tank CintrĂ©e, through to more modern pieces like the innovative Tank Must Solarbeat. We also talk about the legendary Crash and show off an emerald-decked example. We also check out the Santos and find out why the PantherĂ© is such an important emblem for the brand. We also open up for questions, which is something weâve never done before, great fun and definitely something we should do again.
On top of all this, we will also upload the stream to our Youtube, so if youâve ever wanted to see the watches we talk about or just check out Felixâs lockdown hair, this is the perfect opportunity.
This episode is sponsored by Cartier, to learn more about the watches we discuss, visit your local boutique or head to cartier.com

Todayâs guest is Blake Buettner, watch media veteran and Managing Editor of Worn & Wound. Given his day job at the leading value-driven watch site, we naturally spend a lot of time chatting about what a value watch looks like in 2021 and whether or not a watch with four or more zeros in the price tag can be âvalueâ, On a related note we cover off the state of the micro-brand scene, and dive into two of the watch enthusiasts traditional darlings, Seiko and Grand Seiko, and what their rapid growth and changing focus (epitomised by the White Birch) means for the brand. We also find out how Blake is â indirectly â responsible for getting Andy into mechanical watches, what really makes for a daily wearer and the joy of clacky keyboards. All that plus Andy and Felix go hands-on with the Apple Watch Series 7.

Seven years ago, Silas Walton founded A Collected Man, and in that time, it has grown into one of the most respected names in high-end and independent watch sales. If youâre in the market something special, be it an upper-tier independent like F. P. Journe, a connoisseur-grade Cartier or investment-level Patek, A Collected Man is the place to go (itâs also a great place to go if you want to read some of Andy and Felixâs great articles) As Walton explains though, this wasnât always the case â the digital landscape has changed dramatically in the last few years, quickly gaining credibility with brands and consumers alike. We also chart a change in Waltonâs own tastes, from the moment he decided to take the plunge into a Patek Philippe reference 5940, to falling in love with independent watches and seeing their business potential. Time clearly proved him right, and we find out how Walton is less concerned with making the sale and more worried about managing their place in the market, as well as being careful not to hype their own supply. So whether youâre interested in the rise of independent and neo-vintage watches, or the business of how theyâre bought or sold, youâll want to listen to this.

Today on the pod, we chat with Collective Horology co-founder Gabe Reilly. And weâre speaking to Gabe for a very good reason because Collective has just teamed up with IWC to release the Pilotâs Watch Chronograph C.03, Which Reilly describes as a love letter to IWC. To be fair, he also describes it as that watch you would get if you time-travelled back to IWC in the mid-90s, kidnapped the design team and brought them back to 2021. Thankfully for all involved, no time-shenanigans were involved in this watch. IWC still has a decidedly no-nonsense aesthetic, and Mr Klaus and Mr Habring havenât been pruned from the timeline.
We also find out how Cartier and James Bond got Reilly into watches, and explore how community has changed over time â as well as what stayed the same. Finally, Felix and Andy have some profound realisations about the nature of their working relationship. As you do.

Adrian Barker (from Bark & Jack) is back! We get the inside story on all the YouTube drama, from increasing collaboration to the poorly planned implosion of the Timepiece Gentlemen, and the negative effect it had on the broader watch community. We also get Adrianâs take on just why so many watch YouTubers are having videos removed. Is it the algorithm or something more sinister? Moving onto watches, we find out what Adrian thought of the two-tone Explorer and the new Vacheron Constantin âEverestâ editions.
Felix also called Adrian out for trash-talking Hublot. So if youâve ever wondered who would win in a fight between Felix and Adrian, listen in (hint, the answer is Andy).

Andy first met Jonathan Ferrer from Brew Watches back in 2015, at the first Worn & Wound Wind Up Watch fair. And while Brewâs heart can still be found in a good cup of coffee, the brand has evolved and matured with the times. We talk to Jonathan about balancing growth while staying true to the brand vision. Jonathan also talks about the founding impetus for Brew, built off his work as a freelance watch designer and the importance of coming out of the gate strong, with a powerful silhouette that triggers nostalgia.
We also get into the nuts and bolts of a small watch business, the importance of social media, how to balance stock and customer expectations, as well as why Brew went all out with the bracelet of the Metric, which is unusually complicated for a $400 watch.

Robin Swithinbankâs Instagram bio reads that heâs on the frontline of luxury journalism â a position heâs held fearlessly for the last 20 years. We managed to pry Robin away from New York Times, Hodinkee and GQ deadlines to talk about the changes heâs witnessed in the previous two decades, and the changes he sees coming. With the rise of sustainability and e-sports, through to the vulgarity of watches as an asset class and rebranding the secondary market, Robin has a well-informed take on the space that only experience can bring. Often we get swept up in the details of product and can forget to analyse the macro level â where the industry is going and what existential problems it faces â not with Robin. If youâre interested in the big picture on the business of watches, this is one you wonât want to miss.

If you know anything about climbing mountains, you know Reinhold Messner. The first man to climb Everest solo, Messner popularised the alpine style of climbing. Recently heâs collaborated with Montblanc to celebrate his solo crossing of the Gobi Desert. Felix talks to him about adventure, the environment and the importance of failure.
Beyond that, we find out why Beyonce, Jay-Z and Diddy have been in the luxury headlines and why Kurono Tokyo got caught up in Instagram drama. Felix spends some time with Piaget; Andy gets excited about a rice cooker and catches up on a grunty Henry Cavill in The Witcher.

This weekâs episode is a bit of a two-parter. The main attraction is, of course, Felixâs chat with Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe. Recorded during Watches & Wonders earlier this year, Mr Guadalupe discusses the difficulties of working with sapphire, and Hublot came to excel in technical case materials.
They also talk about the important role art plays to the brand and why collaborations with creatives like Maxime Pleschia-BĂŒchi (who you may remember from the other week) and Takashi Murakami push watch design forward. But before we get to all that goodness, andy and Felix keep it colourful by wrapping some of the yearâs brightest releases, and Andy also gives us a look behind the scenes on his latest article for A Collected Man.

In this 100 per cent in-house production of OT:, Andy and Felix look back on the spicy cocktail that was August 2021 and provides some searing insight into the watch headlines. There are good news stories like a near-instant sell out of vintage pocket watches, a wee dram of anOrdain and Andy getting up to speed with the new Masenna Lab.
Itâs not all so peachy, as issues like quality control over at Ming, as well as (more) drama around a decidedly not-in-house Panerai movement. And then thereâs the question of what Chrono24 will do with 100 million euros and what that means for watch collecting. Exciting times.

Pop the bubbles and get ready to party because OT: just clocked in 100 episodes. To celebrate, weâve pulled out all the stops. Weâve put together some pizza-themed merch, which is as wholesome as youâd expect. But more than that, we offer the first taste of our upcoming watch collaboration, and we canât wait to tell you more. The main course in todayâs celebration, though is Maxime Plescia-BĂŒchi, the founder of Sang Blue, who you likely know from his successful series of Hublot limited editions. Of course, we chat to Maxime about Hublot and what itâs like to tattoo Kanye West, but we also use the opportunity to get his take on watch design. As you might expect from an artist and designer of Maximeâs background, he has an interesting take on watch design, one that is informed by his own collecting habits.

đ„ Inspired by a chat on our community Discord, Andy and Felix dedicate this entire episode to the spiciest of hot takes. Andy takes the heat out of hype watches, while Felix disses one of the most popular complications out there. Thatâs the great thing about a good hot take, though â it doesnât need to be particularly rational or even fully formed, just passionate (and preferably spicy).
The heat continues thanks to some California Reaper level heat from Discord members who have thoughts about premium prices, date windows and everything in between. In less watch-related yet still caliente) Andy has been reliving GTA, and Felix ranks his favourite Dwayne Johnson movies with âJungleâ in the title. Oh, and remember, if you want in on the hot take action, join our Discord server in the link below.

Calling in from Los Angeles is todayâs guest Dan Brunn, an award-winning architect whose practice is inspired by sustainability and growing up amid the Bauhaus buildings of Tel Aviv. We find out how Dan leapt headfirst into the world of bespoke architecture by scoring a prestigious Venice beach build fresh out of architecture school. We also find out about the 'Flip Flop' house, and what itâs like to live in something you created.
We also chat to Dan about good design in general and how that translates to watches ⊠in particular, an intriguing Omega project. But before that, Felix and Andy also manage to cover off a new whisky from Lark, new tunes from Patrick Droney and some new reality TV. Honestly, what more could you want?

Today's guest is none other than Asher Rapkin. By day Asher is a marketer for Facebook, but by night he's the co-founder of Collective Horology, a community of watch lovers held together by collaborative watches. The latest collab just launched, and it's the very cool, out-of-this-world Urwerk UR100-V P.02 for Collective. We chat to Asher about what inspired this watch, as well as get into the nuts, bolts and balance sheets as to how a limited edition is made, from working out quantities to design tweaks. We also find out why Collective exists in an age when Instagram and other platforms have made finding watch enthusiasts easier than ever. Another unique aspect about Collective is that it's quite small, private, and you can only join through an 'application process' â something that Rapkin admits still makes him roll his eyes. So if you're curious about Collective, love Urwerk or just want to hear Felix go on about his favourite conspiracy theory, you've come to the right place.

This week we chat to the man who calls himself the King of Vintage. Jasper Lijfering is the man behind Amsterdam Vintage Watches and its transformation from a family business into one of the most recognised watch dealers online, thanks to a combination of hard work, social media smarts and transparency. Jasper tells us about the ups and downs of life in the spotlight â from robberies to stunts, as well as just how he ended up selling a John Player Special to none other than Ellen DeGeneres. On top of that, we talk about Mario powering up TAG Heuer and just why Andy was shocked by Sex/Life.

This week Andy and Felix are talking about some of the highlight watches from Only Watch, a bi-annual charity auction consisting only of ⊠you guessed it ⊠watches. But more than that, itâs an auction of one-of-a-kind pieces, and things get a little wild. This year there are 54 pieces submitted, including a HAND-some F.P. Journe (made in collaboration with Francis Ford Coppola of all people), a super aged-Tudor GMT and heaps of orange. Listen in for the insightful analysis, wild price speculation and why Jack Black would make a perfect Omega ambassador.

This week Andy goes on a solo mission, chatting to Edouard Meylan, the charismatic and thoughtful CEO of H. Moser. From how the Meylan's acquired the legacy brand and what the future holds, through to the importance of community in brand building, we quickly learn that Moser does things a little different.
Nowhere is that more apparent than with their periodic campaigns poking fun at the wider industry. From watches made of Swiss cheese to the masterful parody that is the Alp Watch, Moser isn't afraid of being bold. But behind the sometimes polarising pranks, there's always a purpose: standing up for what you believe in, a trait that makes Moser the brand they are today.
It's not all Moser talk though, before the interview, Felix and Andy talk about just how wild it is that Tudor has a brand-new stand-alone boutique in Melbourne, something unimaginable a few years ago. Plus, some top-line thoughts on the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight in bronze.

Joe Salanitri is one leg of the tripod that is Sooshi Mango. The comedy trio shot to fame on social media thanks to their witty response to the pandemic and their incredibly accurate portrayal of multicultural Australian life. We chat to Joe about whether we should have masks on (or off), the changing nature of comedy and the importance of punching up, as well about changing ethnic identity in Australia, as well as the challenges of selling out an arena show during a global pandemic. Naturally, we also chat about watches, including the surprising Sea-Dweller Joeâs got on his radar.

In a shocking twist of events, todayâs guest is ⊠nobody! Instead, Andy and Felix roll out some good old-fashioned Watch Making for Robert, whoâs in the market for a well-priced, heirloom grade watch. Robert will also go down in history for penning Andy and Felixâs couple name.
On top of that, itâs halfway through the year, so the perfect time for a quick listicle of the best new watches clocking in at under $5000 USD. Or â depending on who you are, slightly over. What even are budgets? So, if youâre up for an episode of solid watch chat, this is the one for you.

Watch Matchmaker for Robert
OG listener to the podcast and love your work. Iâm in a pickle. I love watches and love my wife, but buying heaps of watches isnât something I can afford, unfortunately. I have my sights set on buying a blue omega SMP 300 as my exit watch (well at least for a long while). I know a Rolex is unrealistic, especially at RRP. So is there anything else you guys recommend? At some stage, once I produce miniature Roberts, I will pass them on. I work in a dental clinic, and I usually wear an Apple Watch as I do CrossFit and triathlons for fun. My budget is max 9k, and Iâm open to anything (diver, Chrono etc), but it needs to be something I can wear to work, weekends and ideally something slight dressy (it doesnât have to be a dress watch).

Todayâs guest is the cool, calm and collected Cole Pennington from Hodinkee. We got up with Cole fresh from a stint in Thailand, a country close to his watch-collecting heart and one with a special relationship with Seiko. Speaking of Seiko, Cole and Felix politely disagree about the legendary Monster, and Cole talks about the one that got away. We also chat about Coleâs important story uncovering a new space watch and how he went about putting it together. From there, we dig into the watch stories that make Cole tick, the ones he canât tell, and why heâs busy telling his own story fishing with a Rolex Pepsi in the Ozarks.

In the world of high-end independent watchmaking, Max BĂŒsser is a king. Well, maybe not a king; heâs more of an alchemist, somehow turning his dreams into incredible creations of steel, gold and sapphire. While this romantic vision is pretty accurate, itâs only part of the picture.
Max tells us about the anger and frustration that caused MB&F to be born, the importance of friends, the madness of developing 22 calibres in 20 years and why Max is determined to run his business differently. We also talk about the entirely selfish way Max designs watches and how thatâs reflected in the evolving style of the brand, which has shifted from blocky to biomorphic.
Finally, we find out about the delicate art of product naming and get a sneak peek at the MB&F âAndyâ.

This week Andy and Felix talk to Chris Hall, a man steering the watch content of one of the most influential online retailers in the business, Mr Porter. Before that, though, they discuss the watches theyâve seen in the last week, including the new IWC AMG collab and the latest and greatest new releases from Cartier. But back to Chris.
Taking up the mantle of Mr Porterâs Senior Watch Editor in the midst of a global pandemic is no easy feat, but Chris has handled it with aplomb. We find out just why someone would consider buying a watch off Mr Porter and which of the new releases stand out for him (hint, HermĂšs and JLC get a lot of love). Itâs a wild time for online watch retail, so you donât want to miss this insightful chat.

South African-born professional explorer Mike Horn has lived a heck of a life. He's sailed around the world 27 times, walked around it three times, crossed Antarctica and summited some of the world's highest peaks. And he's down much of it with a Panerai on his wrist. But before we get to Mike, Andy and Felix chat about some of Panerai's latest releases and just how they feel about scratching up their watches.
Fair warning, though, neither of them have submitted their watch to even a fraction of the abuse that Mike Horn's Panerai's have endured. Mike tells us about the time he used his watch as a piton, but also what drives him into the wild, and what the point of exploration is when the map has been filled in, and what it's like to witness climate change first hand. Not only has his experience made him a perfect ambassador for Panerai for the last 21 years, but it's made him the perfect person to push Panerai down the path of sustainability.

Now that Watches & Wonders is firmly in our rearview mirrors and the dust has settled, we thought it was high time to do some soul-searching and come up with our favourite releases from the virtual fair. Felix, in typical fashion, went a little weird and focused on some less-hyped releases and, in a spectacular cop-out move, picked every single colourful watch from the fair.
Andy, however, played it relatively straight with four rock-solid choices, including a controversial Rolex, some colourful options and a knock-out Perpetual Calendar from none other than A. Lange & Söhne.

The second we aired our first interview with James Dowling in 2020, we knew we had to have him back on for part two. It might have taken us 12 months, but it worth the wait. This time around, we talk about Rolex (I mean, when you're known online as @MisterRolex is kind of comes up), but our conversation takes some unexpected turns, like investing in tins of sardines. In fact, we talk about Dowling's love of exploring the 'dead ends' of watches, small manufacturers, Swiss quartz from the 70s and 80s (including his prototype Rolex Quartz Perpetual calendar), deck watches and other ephemera.
James also reluctantly gives his advice to new collectors, who he believes have a much harder time finding interesting and accessible watches than earlier generations of collectors, given that the internet has largely taken away the joy of discovery. Luckily though, new collectors are still able to learn from their mistakes, something Dowling thinks is invaluable. Buckle up and hit play because you're in for a wild ride with Mister Rolex.

Today's episode is action-packed in more ways than one. Of course, the top billing goes to Jason Heaton, a product journalist who's penned his first novel, But before that, we have some action of a different kind, with Andy chatting to Mike Manjos from WatchBox, about the winners from Watches & Wonders. Then it's straight into the thriller that is Depth Charge. Heaton bills it as a classic paperback page-turner in the vein of Cussler or Fleming, with a healthy dose of diving, and of course, dive watches. And while Heaton doesn't reveal the watch his hero ended up wearing in the book, we do talk about the challenges of writing (and researching) a novel during a pandemic, updating thriller tropes while making them relevant for a modern audience. Of course, we also chat about the in-depth character development of a pivotal character and probably great guy, the henchman known as 'Scholz'.
Back when Jason Heaton was first on the podcast, Felix petitioned strongly to be included as an evil henchman in the novel. Fast forward to today, and Felix's wish has been granted, with Scholz being described as an angular man with a shaved head and a moustache.

If you think that explaining the finer engineering points of a rattrapante or a repeater sounds snore-inducing, you've never heard Anthony de Haas speak. The Director of Product Development for A. Lange & Söhne describes the watches he works on with passion â and more importantly â humour.
We talk about the latest Watches & Wonders releases, including the new Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar and the mighty Triple Split. We also talk about the momentous Odysseus, some rumours about application-only watches, and why the brand will never release a salmon dial.

The watches and wonders are flowing thick and fast, and in this episode, Felix and Andy deep their toes into the latest watches from Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet. But before a surprisingly hot-take-filled recap, Felix has a little interlude with Tim Mosso from WatchBox. Tim and Felix talk superheroes (I mean, has anyone seen Tim and Batman in the same room?) when Tim and Felix pick watches for Marvel and DC's finest.
Ever wondered what Wonder Woman would wear? Regular programming continues with new watch chat and Andy revealing why he wouldn't cop a steel Nautilus at retail. Further surprises ensue when Felix goes into bat for the Code 11:59. And they both agree that while Audemars Piguet missed some major opportunities to make their debut Marvel watch (feat. Black Panther) great, watch nerds need to settle a little and remember that it's not all about them.
This episode is brought to you by WatchBox, the world's leading platform for buying, selling and trading pre-owned luxury timepieces. Have you ever wondered what sort of watch Batman, Superman, Wolverine, Iron Man and Wonder Woman would wear? Well, wonder no more as Felix and Tim Mosso pick some super watches for these classic comic heroes. Head to thewatchbox.com to look for your next watch.

Watches & Wonders is just around the corner, and that means new releases by the bucketload. So weâve put our guest schedule on hold to give these new watches the time they deserve. The headline act is Omega, with a rock-solid lineup including a brand new alloy called Bronze Gold, Seamaster Diver 300M Black Black (no prizes for guessing the primary colour here) and a dressy De Ville.
Over in the UK, Bremont have been busy making F1 deals, building wings and â you guessed it â releasing watches. Speaking of the F1, we chat about TAG Heuerâs new releases, along with GlashĂŒtte Original and others. But weâve saved the biggest shock of the episode till last, with Patek Philippe making a genuinely shocking administrative change. All that, plus the history of the Casio G-Shock.

In the crowded and competitive vintage watch dealing scene Eric Wind stands out. Not only is he as erudite as he is polite, but the watches he collects and trades run the gamut from exceptional to exceptionally interesting. We chat to Eric about his start in the world of watches, his business, Wind Vintage and get some tips on navigating the minefield that is buying watches online.
We hear tales from the dealer's side of the table and why Eric thinks it's so important to build a relationship with one dealer. We also dig into the pros and cons of case versus dial, the value to be had in 90s Rolex, and why insisting on a full set is a rookie move. We also chat about that one time he helped get an actual Paul Newman Daytona on the big screen in Crazy Rich Asians.

A few weeks ago, we spoke to Patek Philippe expert (Patexpert?) John Reardon about the discontinuation of the Nautilus 5711 and what it means for Patek mania. This week weâre delighted to bring you part two of our chat with John, where we talk about all the other things Patek Philippe makes besides steel sports watches.
From solar clocks to pocket watches and singing birds, we go deep. Thereâs even a live minute repeater demonstration. We find out what John thinks the next hot watch will be (hint, itâs not Beta 21), what watches heâs hunting down and why he thinks watches are set to overtake fine art as an auction house category in the next few years. If you like Patek, you canât afford to miss this episode.

What were you doing in 2002? Simon' Woody' Wood was busy putting together the first DIY issue of a magazine called Sneaker Freaker. Little did he know that his passion for sneakers put onto the page would turn into one of the most influential voices in the sneaker scene.
Almost 20 years on, and Sneaker Freaker is still at the top of the game. We chat to Woody about the evolution of sneaker style, what it's like to build a media business that works so closely with brands, and, as someone who's collaborated with brands regularly, how the process works and what goes into making a cult shoe. But Woody's passion also extends to wristwear â he's a passionate G-Shock collector who has made two sell-out models, the Nightowl and the Redback. We get the story behind these models and find out why Casio was ahead of the curve when engaging their core community.

Early on in our conversation with watch collecting supremo Eric Ku, he says that the best careers are born out of passion. For Ku that career started in college and the early days of the internet. Itâs led him around the world, hunting out the finest fresh to market vintage watches, a type of âIndiana Jonesâ watch collecting that is becoming increasingly rare and difficult these days. While weâre talking about legends â we ask Eric for his take on the rarest, or at least the most exciting vintage Rolex around, as well as the changing nature of watch auctions. We also talk about the enduring appeal of Cartier and the allure of the Crash as a design object with its own mythology.
Ku also talks about LA Watch Works, and the work involved in restoring a watch properly, and knowing when restoration or refinishing is the right choice. But itâs not all vintage â we talk about the fine line watch brands walk when releasing historically inspired watches and why brands like IWC are doing it right.
This week's weekâs episode is brought to you by Australian retailer Kennedy. We chat about their online boutique, why e-commerce is the future of watch retail, and learn about the IWC Pilotâs Watch Chronograph Edition âTribute to 3705â available exclusively online. To check out the IWC watches we discuss, as well as their wider range, visit Kennedy at kennedy.com.au

A few weeks ago, today's guest set the internet ablaze with her considered and articulate column on women's watches. Cara Barrett has been part of the Hodinkee team since 2015, and her perspective on everything from Patek Philippe to pop culture is both considered and insightful.
Today we chat to Cara about her column, the feedback from it and what she would like to see change in the world of women's watches. We also talk about what it's like to work at Hodinkee as the business scales up, as well as the specifics of her role, creating limited editions and collaborative pieces. Unfortunately, she's too good at her job and managed not to tell us anything about Hodinkee's upcoming limited editions, but still, this long interview with Cara is practically required listening.

Something a little different for today's episode. The new releases are coming out thick and fast, so much so that we felt we could justify an entire episode on the latest and greatest watches of 2021. In addition to some legal drama involving Rolex in Chicago, Andy and Felix chat about the latest from Seiko and Grand Seiko, a Breitling with a local connection and another sell-out Hodinkee collab, this time with TAG Heuer.
On top of that, there's news from Montblanc, a technical new Omega and a spicy trio from everyone's favourite Germans, Nomos GlashĂŒtte. Tune in for our takes, and if you have any thoughts about this style of show, let us know.

Regrets. We have a few. This week Felix and Andy jump in the way back machine and take a trip to the year 2011, back when Charlie Sheen's watches were topical and the Daytona got its first ceramic bezel. It was also a time when watch collecting was seemingly simpler and when Felix wishes he'd eased up on the Instagram filters.
Andy also got proactive and put a poll up on the 'gram and asked what people wished they knew 10 years ago â and alongside all the inevitable 'buy steel Rolex' responses, we got some really sensible and practical advice, such as "a watch can look great, but not wear great" and "it's worth waiting for what you want". In addition to all the advise, it's interesting to look back only a few years and see how much has changed in the watch collecting space. Dive back in time, you won't regret it.

John Reardon has spent the last two decades surrounded by Patek Philippe; either in his roles at major auction houses or when he worked for the company in New York. So when news of the discontinuation of the famous (and impossible to acquire) Nautilus 5711 surfaced in the days before our interview, we knew we had to ask John about it.
And, as you might expect from one of the world's leading Patek experts, he had some thoughts, particularly about the skyrocketing prices we're seeing at the moment: "I think we're going to look back at this as a market blip. The fact that that we're seeing them for over $100K US, I find â as an historian â almost laughable." To find out why Reardon thinks the hype is nonsensical, we get some context on the model, and just what a 'discontinuation' means for Patek Philippe. Essential listening.

Adam needs a new watch. He's thinking of a Speedmaster, but he wants some more options. Which is where Watch Matchmaker comes to help. Adam sent us an email, and we fired up the search engines, converted our currencies and came up with six chronographs, both wild and wonderful.
From obscure Omega's to dressy salmon dials and a hot new heritage reissue, there's plenty of options, all of them good. The only question â which one will Adam go for?

Adamâs Brief
I currently have my grandfathers Enicar in my collection, as well as a Hamilton Jazzmaster. I've resisted the temptation to buy other cheaper watches, as my eyes have been fixed on an Omega Speedmaster professional for a number of years, falling in love with the look and the story of the watch. I recently turned 30, and settled on the sapphire crystal with display back model. However, then your podcast came along, and now I'm not so sure. Thanks for that. I want an everyday watch, that I can beat around in. A chronograph or dive watch I think. I like a watch with history or story behind it. I've already turned 30, so I don't want to wait much longer. My budget is $7K. Thoughts are appreciated.
Andyâs Picks
- Breitling Top Time
- TAG Heuer Carrera Montreal
- Omega Seamaster Apnea Jacques Mayol
Felixâs Picks

âShaving truffle is like flying private: if youâre the one filming, you ainât the one paying.â Just one of the pearls of wisdom todayâs guest, Ted Gushue, drops on the regular. There are a few reasons weâve wanted Ted on the pod for a while, and his wit is just a part of it. Ted leads a fascinating life. Something of a nomad, the editor-in-chief of Porscheâs Type 7 publication and the all-round automotive enthusiast is currently passed in St Moritz, as their global ambassador no less.
We speak to Ted about the joy of creating legacy content in a disposable age, the love/hate relationship he has with staying in one place, why heâd rather have a handful of great watches he truly loves and why heâs getting on a plane to Japan as soon as can.
This weekâs episode is brought to you by TAG Heuer. Listen in to hear Felix and Andy chat about the brandâs partnership with Porsche and the new TAG Heuer Carrera Porsche Chronograph Special Edition. Find out more here. https://www.tagheuer.com/porsche

Zenith has come out of the gate early to claim the âmost talked-about watch release of 2021â title, with their appropriately sporty (and quite controversial) Chronomaster Sport.
In order to get the official word on the origins, inspirations and authenticity of the model, we went right to the top; Zenith CEO Julien Tornare. Days after the release of the watch Felix jumped on a Zoom call with Julian and found out the historical inspirations for the watch, why it matters so much for the brand from a commercial perspective, and how they prepared for the inevitable Daytona comparisons.

If youâre even remotely interested in the world of menâs style and podcasts, the chances are good that youâve come across Blamo! Well, todayâs guest is the affable and humble man behind this burgeoning empire â Jeremy Kirkland.
And while we cover off all the topics youâd expect; style, fashion, trends and all the rest, what Jeremy is really talking about is what it means to try and be a nice person in an often superficial business, why chasing cool is a fallacy that will leave you empty and why style is how you treat other people.
In between these deep truths, we also talk about dad style, the skill involved with a good cold email and why Seiko is the ultimate equaliser. On top of that, Felix and Andy have some thoughts about the Zenith Chronomaster Sport, and its relationship to the Rolex Daytona.

Tom Exton is a busy guy. Better known as @TGE_LNDM online, heâs a YouTuber, car collector, watch enthusiast, podcaster, and entrepreneur â and thatâs when heâs not at his day job. Heâs famous for having a garage full of supercars, but today we talk about his passion for watches (he was sketching them as a kid long before he set foot in a boutique). These days heâs got a diverse collection, from the standout white ceramic Girard-Perregaux X Bamford Laureato to an incredible Laurent Ferrier Grand Sport and more. We caught up with Tom for a frank chat about his work, what makes a good influencer and the reality of being a flipper, and just what he did to p*ss off Ferrari.

If youâve browsed watches on the internet, youâll likely have come across Michael Blakey. Better known as Producer Michael thanks to his YouTube channel with over one million subscribers, Michaelâs videos offer a glimpse into a world of luxury, from watches to supercars to mansions. And while this sort of content is pretty common on YouTube, what makes Producer Michael stand out is his honesty and a genuine desire to have fun.
You might think itâs hard to be humble talking about your watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but Michael manages it. Of course, we talk about his collection, but we also talk about his career as a producer, his very first watches, the importance of matching your outfit to your watch and why he refuses to buy his grail watch.

Welcome Welcome Welcome, todayâs podcast guest is none other than Rikki from Scottish Watches podcast. If youâre into watches and listen to podcasts, the chances are excellent that youâre already familiar with Rikki and the Caledonian podcast he co-founded. Scottish Watches are something of an unstoppable force in the watch-podcasting world, having recently celebrated their second anniversary and a whopping 200 episodes.
But Rikki isnât on just to toot his own horn; heâs here to chat about the podcastâs outstanding collaboration with Swatch. Which, as far as first-time collabs go, is pretty much the top of the tree. But this isnât your typical case of watch media cashing in on a short-run production, because they didnât make any money off it. Rather they used it as an opportunity to put something joyful out into the world, and to keep it as accessible as possible.
And of course, we also talk about watches in Scotland and the start of the Scottish Watches empire, and the best guest theyâve had to date, and no, itâs not Archie Luxury.
This episode is brought to you by Longines. You can hear Andy and Felix chat about the Longines Heritage Skin Diver, or you can find out more below. https://www.longines.com/

Instagram is a platform saturated with watch accounts. One account that excels, both in the watches and the quality of the content is Horoloupe. We were honoured to chat to Austen Chu, the man behind the username, a little while ago about all manner of things. From how Chu got started, to what it's like to be a younger collector, and how a new generation has new tastes. Of course, our conversation is dominated by his first love, Audemars Piguet.
And how in 2018 he collaborated with the brand to create the stunning titanium Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar China Limited Edition, only to later find out that it had made its way onto the wrist of superstar collector Kevin Hart. And speaking of China, Chu provides us with some insights into the evolving Chinese watch market, it's relationship to the West and just why the story about all the Daytonas going to China is the biggest lie on earth.
Trust us; you don't want to miss this one.

Our guest today is one of the music industries all-time greats. Shawn Stockman is one of the founders of the chart-topping, multiple Grammy-winning, genre-defining powerhouse that is Boyz II Men. Heâs also, as we found out, pretty serious about watches. We caught up with Shawn minutes after he came âoffstageâ from a virtual concert, and we quickly dived into his lifelong love of watches.
From the Tigger watch he learned to tell the time on, through to Casioâs unbeatable cool and how he fell in love with Rolex and bling. He tells us how he bought his first Rolex off a bus driver, later giving it to his father, who then pulled a peak dad-move with it. While many music stars might stay with the bling, Stockmanâs tastes have matured, as heâs (mostly) of over the whole diamonds and R&B clichĂ©. These days heâs much more likely to be wearing a Speedy, a vintage Rolex or even a Grand Seiko, even though he has one problem with the Japanese brand.

Weâre doing things a little differently today. Sixty eps in and one season down, weâve got a lot of new listeners. So we thought some formal introductions were in order. Andy and Felix turn the mics and interrogation-style spotlights on each other and delve into our own origin stories, how they met, and what we think of watches.
Felix interviews Andy, and Andy interviews Felix. And they ask the tough questions. Why does Felix hate Rolex? Does Andy have a grail? What was the first story Andy ever wrote, and how do they keep the horological passions alive? All this and more, revealed.

Weâre kicking off 2021, and season two of OT: The Podcast, with one of the watch sceneâs biggest personalities. Adam Craniotes is the loveable larrikin founder of RedBar and Editor-at-Large for Revolution USA. We talk to Adam about how RedBar was set up with an aim to democratise the somewhat stuffy social world of the watch collector, and how the collector world has changed over time (for the better).
We find out why Adam thinks itâs important to be political on social media. We also get the low down on how he creates limited edition watches with the likes of Oris and Frederique Constant. We also find out how he started a one-man social media campaign to pressure Omega into delivering his Speedmaster Snoopy (not something we suggest you try at home) and the tale of money laundering, mohawks and his mum that led to his âtrademarkâ IWC Top Gun Perpetual Calendar.

In news that will surprise absolutely no one, 2020 has been a heck of a year. But rather than focus on the negative, weâve decided to accentuate the positive, and look back on 57 episodes of OT: The podcast and highlight some (but not all) great guests, even greater supporters (MVP Steve!) and even the odd challenge â Iceland, weâre looking at you.
And while we initially planned for this to be an easy-breezy 30 minutes of podcasting, Andy and I got a little carried away reliving the good times, something weâd fully encourage you to do too. Scroll on, and you can find links to all the episodes weâve mentioned, and maybe some you missed.
Weâve got some great things planned for Season 2, and you can always help out by sharing our content, telling your mates (especially if they live in Iceland), and generally hyping us up.
And as always, get in touch if thereâs anything youâd like to see more of in 2021.

Todayâs guest, J. David Weiss, describes his job as âdesigning silly boats for silly peopleâ which, if weâre completely honest is a little bit of an understatement. The truth is that Weiss is one of the worldâs leading designers of superyachts. So, to make the most of the opportunity, Felix and Andy decided to commission their own modest superyacht, the OT: Cruiser.
And while they spent the modest $30M budget, they learned some valuable tips on the finer points of yacht design. Ideal sizes, why Italy is your best choice for a shipyard, what makes helipads so tricky and some of there out there options they could go for (motorbike Pez dispenser anyone?).
Of course, Weiss has a nice watch or two, but as far as great origin stories go, itâs hard to top the Rolex he pulled out of a rubbish bin. And then thereâs the bit where Felix and Andy pretend to be Australian film reviewers.

âTwas the week before Christmas, and we thought weâd take the opportunity to put a festive twist on our classic watch matchmaking, Kris Kringle styles. Ho to the Ho Ho people. But, weâre not doing it alone. Weâve enlisted some of our favourite internet watch friends, Adrian Barker from Bark & Jack, Jenni Elle and Kat and Katlen from Tenn & Two.
And while you might expect this to quickly devolve into chaos (much like any Christmas gathering), Andy, in his festive-est hat, has tried to impose some simple rules. They are as follows. Names are drawn randomly out of a hat, and two hypothetically gifted watches released in 2020 selected. One with a $5K USD budget, and an end game option with a $50K USD budget. What could go possibly go wrong? Well, listen in and find out. But you know what, we all had fun along the way. Itâs a Christmas miracle guys!

Fashion is fleeting, but style is eternal. Thatâs something Jamie Kerr Ferguson understands well. Better known as JKF Man on the âGram, Jamie has had a long and varied career working in the menâs style world, you might have spotted his photography on, A Continuous Lean, Permanent Style or The Rake.
We talk to Jamie about how he broke into the competitive world of style photography, his advice to newcomers in an increasingly democratic and digital medium, as well as what sort of planning and prep goes into shooting HRH The Prince of Wales. We got some of his top fit tips too. And of course, we talk watches; how his love affair with a Dirty Dozen Omega led to a larger love affair with vintage watches, and why the classic Rootbeer keeps him up at night.

Wei Koh, founder of pioneering watch title Revolution and style bible The Rake, cuts a large and legendary figure. And while heâs known for his style and deep knowledge of watches, the heart of Kohâs charm lies in his self-awareness and affability. These traits come through strong in this interview, where we cover off how the self-described âidiotâ came to build some of the most respected magazines in the world, and what heâs learned from Ralph Lauren. We also chat to Koh about his take on social media, from why accounts like @shameonwrist and @hodonkee are important, and why he thinks it matters to be real on the âGram. We also get his take on the Hublot Big Bang Integral, and why he thinks Hublot is an under-appreciated watch brand. Essential listening.

Cadel Evans is the greatest Australian cyclist of all time, a four-time Olympian and Tour de France winner, who is a passionate ambassador for the sport. Heâs also a watch collector.
Cadel Evanâs interest in watches started at a young age when he âjust wanted a watch that was waterproofâ. That interest exploded when, as a professional cyclist, he found himself based in NeuchĂątel. But Evans wasnât spending his time looking in boutique windows; he was busy riding up and down hills and training for the Tour de France, a race he won in 2011, the first Australian, and one of only three non-Europeans to earn the yellow jersey. To celebrate this win, Jean-Claude Biver gifted him a unique yellow Hublot, a watch which has a place of pride in his collection, sitting alongside Patek Phillipe, Panerai and more than a few Rolex models. We talk to Evans about why time is more important than distance in training, his take on the 2020 Tour de France, and what he thinks about wearing Richard Mille while racing. Regardless of whether or not youâre into cycling, youâre into a for a ride in our chat with Cadel Evans.

By his own reckoning, Tim Mosso has reviewed some 6 or 7000 watches, many of them on Watchboxâs YouTube channel. The combination of experience, deep product knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of how watches are made, bought and sold makes Tim Mosso someone to listen to, especially if youâre looking to buy a watch. We find out just how Tim goes about reviewing a watch, even if itâs not one he personally likes (spoiler, itâs either like a sailor or a lawyer). We also get Timâs take on what he thinks makes a bad (or a good) watch, the most overlooked element of watch design (lugs!), whatâs trending, and which brands are milking those trends too much. We also talk about why watches leaning heavily into nostalgia need to pay attention to car design, and if the hype is ever justified. This interview is a little longer than usual, but itâs all thriller no filler.

Dan Tanenbaum, better known on Instagram as @watchpartsmotorcycle is a man who defies easy definition, but weâll do out gosh-darned best.
Heâs a lifelong collector who fell into watches and turned that passion into an art form. We chat to Dan about how a quest to find his son a Rolex Submariner 6538, which he ended up purchasing, not with cash or card, but with actual gold bullion. Thatâs not the only special piece in Danâs collection; thereâs also a very sentimental Heuer Montreal.
From watches, we cover off how the tech entrepreneur and ex ad-man turned a side hustle making motorbike sculptures out of watch parts turned into creating custom work for Kidrobot and Chief Keef.

The letter Dan received with the Rolex Submariner 6538 he purchased with gold bullion:
Dear Oliver,
I hope this letter finds you well. Your father has asked me to write you a note to tell you what I know about your gift from him. As you can see it is an old watch. My guess is that by the time you receive it, it will be about 70 years old and you are very fortunate as this is no ordinary watch. Indeed it is a very special watch. You are holding a rare vintage Rolex model 6538 from circa 1958. It has a calibre 1030 movement in it. This watch is much sought after as it is the same model of watch as the one worn by Sean Connery when he portrayed James Bond in the 1962 film Dr No.
It is my understanding that the watch is in original condition and was owned prior to myself by a gentleman who lived in Australia. It is obvious that he wore this watch for countless hours in the sun perhaps scuba diving or sailing because the dial on it shows a deep rich bronze patina. I have myself owned the watch for many years, saving it for something special though I had no idea what.
Recently word came to me that your father was looking for a watch such as this and it turned out that he had a special purpose in mind for it; that it should become a gift for you on your 21st birthday. And since I believe a watch like this needs purpose and deserves more than a solitary existence spoiled away in some dark locked box, I released it to your father. Albeit for a fairly tidy sum.
Once, a good many years ago while holding this watch and contemplating its lessons I was struck by five thoughts. Iâd like to share them with you with the hope that they might help you on your journey.
The first thought I had was of the beauty and art and emotion expressed by it. These are all the things that give our world life and colour and love. It is a reminder that we should paint the world as we go, returning the love that weâre given and sharing the love that we have to give.
The second thought I had was for the marvel of engineering and human perseverance that made this watch possible. Boundless are the limitations of human mind and determined spirit combined. This watch should serve as a reminder that we must be the engineers of our lives, doing what is right in life and persevering to leave all things better than when we first came upon them.
The third thought that I had as I held this watch was of its value and the power of saving and investing. Surely without saving there is no future nor any prospect of security for yourself or your loved ones. Nor is there the ability to help the man who has stumbled that he too might go on to help others. This watch should serve as a reminder that wealth with conscience is a powerful gift.
Fourth, I thought that this watch represents the importance of practicality and purpose in our lives. There is an old saying that goes âIf you wish to travel far and fast, travel lightâ. The same holds true in life. This watch should be a reminder to remain free of the burden of things that serve no good purpose, things rob us of our happiness, our dignity and our time.
Which brings us to the fifth and final thought that I had which was about time itself. This watch like all time pieces should serve as a reminder to us that time is the great equalizer and it is all we really have. In time all will be lost for each and every one of us but for the good deeds we have done. Your deeds of hope are your seeds of hope; plant them everywhere you can.
Remember Oliver, God winds our hearts but once, just how tightly is his secret. I hope you spend your time wisely and that your deeds carry both you and the lives you touch to great and wonderful places.
Wishing you well in your travels.
Sincerely,
Rob

In the hallowed (and impeccably dressed) halls of men's style, Mark Cho is a legend. Co-founder of influential retailer The Armoury and co-owner of menswear institution Drake's. Cho has undoubtedly made his mark on modern men's style. And given Cho's general sartorial good sense it should come as no surprise that he views a good watch is an essential wardrobe item, with pieces as diverse as F.P. Journe and anOrdain.
He's also a man concerned with what size a watch should be â so much so that he put together a survey to determine the ideal wrist size. The results are surprising ⊠but perhaps they shouldn't be.

Heâs been round the world, and down the world and now heâs come back up again. We are, of course, talking about todayâs guest, Charley Boorman. Since 2004 Boorman and his buddy Ewan McGregor have made a habit of travelling the globe on the back of a motorbike.
Their latest, Long Way Up, which sees them ride from the tip of South America to Los Angeles is their most ambitious yet â not because of the journey itself, but because theyâre doing it on electric Harley Davidsons. We talk to Charley about the challenges of finding a charge, riding while recovering from serious surgery, and what itâs like to be one of Bremontâs longest-serving ambassadors.

Thereâs a good chance that if youâre really deep into watches youâve fantasised about designing your own watch or even your own watch brand. Five years ago our guest Chase Fancher turned that dream into a reality when he gave up his unfulfilling corporate day job and started Oak and Oscar, a brand born out of Chaseâs love of watches, bourbon and dogs.
Chase takes us through the journey of creating a brand, making the leap to full-time, the joys and challenges of building a brand and a passionate community, and what a good, sustainable smaller watch brand looks like.
We hear about the new Olmsted Matte also ask Chase the hard questions, like what it would take for him to give it all up. Listen now, before Disneyâs lawsuit comes into effect.

If youâre into cars and watch YouTube, you likely know Matt Farah. The LA-native is a legendary figure in the world of cars, an encyclopedia of knowledge with a disarmingly charming personality. Itâs this combination that has made The Smoking Tire one of the greatest car podcasts out there.
We talk to Farah about what itâs like to go from a lean online business to a bricks-and-mortar operation, with an impressive new business, West Side Collector Car Storage. And of course, we also talk watches; from the secret shame of buying a watch because of Kanye West, what itâs like to daily wear a Kermit for a decade, and why you canât be an a-hole wearing a gold Seiko.
Plus Felix and Andy wonder if the âOscars of Watchmakingâ, AKA the GPHG could be better. Hint, it could be.

Today's episode is action-packed! We hit the mics for a one-two combo of good old-fashioned watch matchmaking. But before we get to Juuso and Louis, the people of the internet ask Andy the tough questions over his latest acquisition, the 36mm candy pink Rolex Oyster Perpetual. He fearlessly answers every one, and by the end of it, we can guarantee you will have sold all your 40mm+ black-dialled divers and falling in love with petite fun watches.
Eventually, though the questions die down and we dive into our watch matchmaking. Juuso is in a very 2020 predicament. He had his name down for the 39mm white-dialled Rolex OP, and then Rolex discontinued it. He wants an alternative.
And Louis, well he has a different problem entirely. He's an American entrepreneur looking for a watch to tide him over until his rose gold AP comes in. Louis is also after a watch he can pass down to his kid. Buckle up people, it's about to get wild (and watchy) up in here.

Watch Matchmaker for Juuso
I turned 30 in July, and I celebrated the milestone by ordering Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 in white. I saved money for that exact watch for two years. Then out of nowhere, Rolex decided to cancel making OPs in 39 and my AD called that I don't get what I ordered ... what would you recommend for me?
Andyâs Picks
- Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm 12600
- Breitling Superocean Heritage 57 Reissue
- Vintage Tudor Submariner
Felixâs Picks
- Omega Seamaster Railmaster 1957 Limited Edition
- Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm in white
- Rolex Explorer II 16570
Watch Matchmaker for Louis
So here's the thing. Looking for a watch I can wear everyday - pool or board meeting. (I'm an entrepreneur - basically make my own schedule). I dress in a lot of white jeans/denim shirt/blazer with vans. Love PJT which is what brought me here ... I like leather bands and natos.
Andyâs Picks
- Rolex Yacht-Master 37mm in Everose and Oysterflex
- Cartier Santos Dumont, Large in rose gold
- Omega Seamaster Diver 300M
Felixâs Picks
- Rolex Day-Date 36 in yellow gold
- Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe
- Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Boutique Edition

Todayâs guest is cinematographer and photographer, Bret Curry. Bret knows his way around a watch, both on the wrist and behind the lens. Curry has worked with names like Eli Roth and Ryan White, on projects for National Geographic, AMC and Apple TV. We talk to Bret about his early wristwatch loves, and how, as someone who needs to keep an eye on the time and often has his hands full at work, a good watch is more than just a fashion accessory.
We also asked Bret to break down the details of an incredible shoot he did for Blancpain at Death Valley. Beyond watches, we get some insights into shooting portraits of famous people, and honing your skills and aesthetic in an Instagram age. Andy also talks a surprising amount of smack about Armie Hammer, and Felix unwittingly institutes âMailbag Mondaysâ.

And while you might think that Standard H is going to be all about cars, its really about clothing, community and entrepreneurship. We chat to Wesley about how the podcast was built as an offshoot of his clothing label, what heâs learned from interviewing so many exceptional individuals and who his white whale dream guests are. And of course, we also talk watches, from great players in the indie scene to grey market shenanigans.
And speaking of shenanigans, Andy has finally worn a watch with a Bluetooth connection, and, perhaps even more surprisingly, heâs been wearing it solidly for the last month.

Cameron Barr, the founder and CEO of Los Angeles-based watch retailer Craft & Tailored makes his living in the cut-and-thrust world of vintage watch dealing, from selling high-end vintage staples from Rolex, through to less commercial (though no less cool) oddities like Ikepod, quartz Patek and the (in)famous Watchco Omega Seamasters.
And, just because, we get Cam to drop his hot takes on the best vintage (and neo-vintage) watches to buy now, as well as his top tips on buying vintage. Warning â we go deep into the reference numbers. And because Cam is a man on the coal face of vintage watches, we canât not ask him some pointed questions about pricing, whatâs hot, whatâs not and if bubbles ever burst.

Phillip Toledano (AKA Mister Enthusiast) is an eccentric oddball of a human, who is also full of advice: from the perfect dinner party ice-breaker through to tips on buying ex-soviet spacesuits, the man is a font of knowledge. Heâs also a font of creativity, which perhaps shouldnât be too surprising given that heâs an artist and photographer. His subjects are as diverse as the economic collapse of American business, and United States Navy pilotâs helmets, pictures that manage to tell a story more extraordinary than just whatâs in the image. This critical eye is applied to watches too â another gem of Toledano advice is âDonât look in the same direction as everyone elseâ, which is why he favours ugly quartz Pateks over the coveted Nautilus.
In fact, Toledano seems to take joy in ugly-yet-purposeful objects, like his internet-famous Lancia Delta Integrale, which earned the nickname Bastarda, and eventually became the Viva Bastardo brand. If youâve made it through to the end of this description, youâll probably have worked out that our chat with Mister Enthusiast is wide-ranging, sometimes weird, and definitely not to be missed.

Typically we should start these show notes with a short bio of our guest, Kyle Snarr, but this isnât a typical week. This week Felix talks about his custom Bremont MBII, and the very real decision paralysis he encountered using their customising tool, and Andy reveals his shocking Black Hawk Down theory.
But, back to Kyle Snarr. In addition to being Watchonistaâs freshly minted Marketing and Business Development officer, Kyle is the chief behind chic kerchief operation Cantonment Co, a brand launched one swampy NYC summer. But Kyle also a marketing professional with a love of watches, which is probably why he has places like Gear Patrol and Watchonista on his CV. We find out just why Kyle thinks the little guys are some of the most exciting operators in the space right now, and why he reckons Tudor are the most relevant brand on the planet right now.

William Massena is a legendary figure in the world of watches. From Timezone to Antiquorum and his own venture Massena Labs, heâs done it all.
From what it was like loving watches growing up in Geneva, and how Timezone changed the watch industry, why collectors need to stop fawning over watch brands and what it was like trying to get into Baselworld when the internet was seen as the wild west. Massena also gives us his (typically sensible) take on watches as investments.
These days, of course, William is best known for Massena Lab, a collaborative laboratory that creates watches that are a fusion and old and new. His latest creation is the Uni-Racer, a loving homage to a classic Universal Geneve, but made in a painstakingly modern way. We break down the thorny issues of originality, intent and authenticity in the watch space, issues around hype in the watch market and how William has evolved from an anti-brand guy into a brand in his own right.
This episode is brought to you by NOMOS GlashĂŒtte, who recently launched a series of limited edition Lambda watches in steel to celebrate 175 years of watchmaking in GlashĂŒtte.

We're sure you've been up all night waiting for this one â our interview with The Vamps lead guitarist and backing vocalist James McVey. Founded in 2012, The Vamps are a British Pop Rock band with a string of hits and a brand new album â Cherry Blossom â under their belts, not to mention billions of streams across all the platforms. Andy and Felix chat to McVey about his musical career, what it's like starting a band on YouTube and how to stay grounded when you're continually touring (and repeatedly selling out the 02 arena).
Oh, and how much fun you can have driving a Defender in Namibia with an ex-SAS veteran. Of course, they also talk watches, and how you can't help but be interested in them when you're hanging out with Ed Sheeran. James' own collection is quite interesting, with classics like Rolex and Tudor in the mix through to more obscure offerings from Vertex and Archimede.
In a plot twist, it turns out that the inspiration for many of these watches is none other than Father-in-law and RedBar member Steve. While McVey might be an award-winning, chart-topping musician, Steve is the real star of this interview.

In the world of watches, George Bamford â and his eponymous company â Bamford Watch Department, needs no introduction. Bamford has been extolling the virtues of customisation as a hallmark of luxury since 2006 and was well ahead of the curve. But back then, taking a perfectly good watch and giving it a black coat of paint and a new dial was less accepted than it is today.
And While Bamford may have started his business in the shade, these days heâs very much enjoying the sunshine, with official relationships with LVMH and Kering Group watch brands. In addition to the business of customisation, we talk about the importance of creative partnerships, which is why heâs making crazy custom projects with Black Badger.
We also talk about how he started in watches â a Breitling Navitimer he was gifted in 1996 ⊠and promptly disassembled.

Neil Ferrier is Discommonâs chief conspirator. A Scottish mechanical engineer who ended up founding and running an agile industrial design agency with a fascinating client list and output. Heâs made straight razors for Deadpool, crazy tables for anonymous clients and everything in between. But one of the most interesting product development stories is the one behind Discommonâs humble duffle bag, which has been six years in the making and takes some surprising twists and turns (and actual bags of cash).
If youâve ever wondered just what it takes to turn an idea into something concrete, this is a must-listen. We also chat about his recent work with OT alum Iris Listenwell, Discommon's fan-favourite watch roll and watch wallet. And then no holds are barred when he discusses why he thinks watchmakers need to enlist the help of industrial designers (spoiler, he thinks most watch cases are basic).
We also talk about how Neil hustled and used his east-Asian manufacturing experience to bring a Boeing Dreamlifter full of facemasks into South Carolina in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guess who's back, back again. Jenni Elle's back, and she's got spend. In case you missed episode 32, Jenni Elle is a popular YouTuber who's cut a swathe with her down-to-earth style of watch reviewing. She's also got a little bit of a problem -- she's looking for a rectangular dress watch for around 4000 Euro, and we've decided to help her out. Andy comes up with a field of safe, respectable (and fairly fiscally restrained) choices, while Felix goes a little nuts and embraces some truly odd watches.
On top of that we get Jenni Elle's take on the new Rolex releases, and the hype surrounding them. Plus, Felix complains about Sepultura t-shirts (because of course)

No guests this week. Instead, we've got a double helping of watch matchmaking. First cab off the rank is Big Ben, a giant of a man who's about to celebrate his 40th and wants to celebrate in style. His idea of style is pretty good â the Vacheron Constantin Overseas. His key requirement? It has to be a big watch, cos anything too small and it looks like he's robbed someone's nan.
Felix and Andy chime in with some nan-approved milestone-worthy options, including Bvlgari, Moser, Chopard and Omega. Switching gears a little is Jon, a collector who already has a healthy stable of top tier of 'safe' pieces from Rolex, Patek and the like. But for his next watch, he wants to go a little wild and throw caution (along with resale value) to the wind. And because Andy and Felix are happy to oblige, they come up with some wild options, from Sarpaneva, Hublot and HYT and the like. Watches that really demonstrate just how fun watches can be, especially if you're spending a big bag of someone else's cash.

Not only does James Thompson (AKA Black Badger) have a voice like smooth Canadian maple syrup, but heâs also got an approach to industrial design that is far outside the norm. Most famous for his outrageous use of luminous materials, few makers have what it takes to work with difficult, unconventional materials like 80,000-year-old mammoth tooth, chunks of superconductor or even finely ground coffee.
And when heâs not at home in Sweden, he can be found cooking up trouble near the independent brands like MB&F and DeBethune. Of course, this unconventional approach has led to quite a few fans, from George Bamford at Bamford Watch Department through to the one and only Robert Downey Jnr and the one and only Arnie.

Not too long into our interview with iconic NYC jeweller Greg Yuna, he asks to speak freely. "I like fucking the watches up. I like ruining them." Of course, he's doing nothing of the sort â his stone setting of Patek, AP and Rolex is up there with the best (he's called The Cleanest for a reason).
While some purists might argue that this sort of custom work is sacrilegious, Yuna has a long list of clients, including Drake, Meek Mill, Floyd Mayweather and Ariana Grande who would argue the opposite. But Yuna's work ethic is as flawless as his stones â the man does not stop and is always onto the next thing, be that a stone dialled Rolex Day-Date, consulting on and appearing Adam Sandler's Uncut Gems, launching a new line of jewellery or helping sell the Jacob & Co 'Billionaire' watch. Do not miss this. You'll laugh, you'll learn, you'll be inspired.

If youâve ever watched a watch review on YouTube, todayâs guest needs no introduction. Jenni Elle is a German watch fan who started her own channel in January 2020 and quickly exploded in popularity, racking up 88.8k subscribers and 6.1 million views in a few short months.
We chat to Jenni Elle about how she got into watches, her authentic and natural approach to watch reviewing, perfecting the art of the Rolex hype video and an insiders guide to the professional watch photography. We also cover off why womenâs watches is a marketing stunt, as well as the very real dangers of wearing a precious metal watch in real life.
Plus Andy explains all about the Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos clock, Felix and Andy get up to some fantasy eBay shopping, and Andy fires shots at the Speedmaster.

If there's such a thing as a normal path to founding a fashion brand, Jack Carlson didn't follow it. Before he was a designer and best-selling author, Carlson was an archaeologist who rowed at a national level. But as we discover in this dive into the fascinating and occasionally weird and tradition-bound world of rowing, there's a rich history that blurs the lines of sports, fashion, and cultural anthropology.
For Carlson, research turned into a book (celebrated by none other than Mr. Ralph Lauren himself), which turned into Rowing Blazers. We talk about what the brand is, how the distinctive identity was formed, and who it's for (hint â not just rowers), as well as the joys of a good watch and what it feels like to watch TV and see Tan France wearing your blazer. Or the surprise in finding out that multi-Grammy winning rapper Macklemore, has been one of your best customers since day one!
Make sure to listen to the end because there's an Easter egg in there for watch fans.

We donât like to throw the words âindustry insiderâ around too much, but theyâre words that could well be applied to photographer and watch specialist Joy CorthĂ©sy. Joy, who works across GMT and WorldTempus was a key player in putting together The Millennium Watch Book, which is an overview of the last 20 years of watches (with some surprising insights on just how big a deal patents are in the watch biz).
The conversation quickly goes off the rails as we go behind the scenes at Baselworld and accidentally restart the beef with Kristian Haagen. Then Joy schools Andy and Felix on just what makes a âgoodâ womenâs watch. No spoilers, but it turns out that the category as a whole makes no sense, and that gender-neutral watches are the future, as brands like MB&F, Cartier, Chanel and Bulgari are proving. We also get some pro tips off Joy on how to shoot watches well (and gets into a fight with Andy) and what itâs like to live and work in the heartland of the industry â which is pretty much pilates with watch brand CEOs every day.

Actor/Singer/Model/Entrepreneur/Podcast host Miles Fisher can do it all. Certainly, Andy and Miles talk about it all, from how his watch collection (which started with a Cartier Tank and a Rolex Explorer), suddenly exploded when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and Miles found that watches helped him quiet his mind. And of course, we couldnât get Miles on and not talk about his epic take on Tom Cruise running for President. We also cover off his podcast Coffee with the Greats, which sees him sit down with some legendary guests. And because Miles also has his own roasting business, they talk about actual coffee. As you do.

This week weâve got a big one, talking new Rolex releases, headphones with Jacobi Anstruther (Founder, Iris Listenwell), and launch OT: merch!
By now youâve seen the news - Rolex dropped their 2020 collection. We jumped on the mics the evening of the release, to share our initial thoughts, and recorded a quick take, which weâve inserted into the regular program. Bigger Submariners, brighter Oyster Perpetuals, flexxy Sky-Dwellers - weâve got all the news.
And for the main event - we have a fascinating chat with Jacobi Anstruther, the founder behind revolutionary headphone and audio company Iris Listenwell. Jacobi schools us on how sound works, the gradual decline in audio quality over the years and how Iris is different, and why he vowed never to wear a watch ever again.
We are also super proud to announce our first ever merchandise; the hilarious âStickers are for Flippersâ stickers, which are a great way to support us.

Today's guest has amassed quite the resume. Roger Cruickshank is an Olympian, RAF Pilot, Distinguished Flying Cross recipient and author. In our conversation with Roger, we quickly discovered that his journey wasn't an easy one. A talented skier from an early age, Roger had to make tough decisions about choosing to pursue his dream of being a professional skier, or becoming a pilot, eventually choosing the latter. Luckily the RAF supported his Olympic dream and Cruickshank was on course to do both. Until a debilitating accident in 2005 grounded him and shattered his sporting dreams.
But in a comeback story worthy of Hollywood, Cruickshank pushed through rehabilitation to qualify and compete in the Turin Winter Olympics, and have a long and distinguished RAF career, much of it in Eurofighter Typhoons. Of course, we quiz Cruickshank on the important business of pilot's watches, and if he ever checks his Breitling, Bremont or Casio in the cockpit. On a more serious note, Cruickshank is also a keen mental health advocate, a Headfit ambassador and co-author of the book Speed of Sound, Sound of Mind, in which Cruickshank explores the importance of mental resilience beyond the 'stiff upper lip' approach.

Todayâs guest is the enthusiastic and passionate Alice Zaslavsky. Alice and her trademark oversized specs burst onto the scene way back in Masterchef season one, and sheâs been a staple of the food scene ever since, thanks to her trademark blend of accessible and expert.
But before we talk brassicas, we get down to brass tacks and find out just how Alice got her big âol Panerai, and why itâs not really hers, how she gets around rocking a 47mm watch. We also find out whatâs next for her wrist and how she negotiates sharing a watch with her partner.
From then itâs all In Praise of Veg, Aliceâs upcoming book on how to make the most out of the veggies in your life. Seriously, thereâs a matrix in it and everything.

Today on the show our guest of honour is full-time independent engraving royalty Johnny Dowell, also known by his Instagram/engraving/wrestling name of King Nerd. While listeners might be familiar with Johnnyâs work on watches, through stunning engraved Urwerks, Linde Werdelins and the like, we find out out how one starts on the unconventional career path to becoming a professional engraver. For Johnny, that journey began at prestigious gunmakers James Purdey & Sons.
From shotguns, Johnny made the jump to JLCs and Panerais, eventually moving into solo practice. Since stepping out on his own, Johnny has gone from strength to strength, working with some of the biggest names in the business, including an enduring creative collaboration with Bamford Watch Department and a very cool custom series with the artist, Mister Enthusiast.
In other news, Felix calls out Hamish Blake, Andy peeps some new Breitling (again) and gushes over the Chronomat (again).

Double trouble, toil and lots of bubble. This week - instead of chatting to the great and the good of the watch world - Andy and Felix are catching up on their emails, and have two solid watch matchmakers to get off the books.
But before that, they catch up on what they've seen - Andy gets a vintage Tudor Submariner back from service and sees some hot new IWC, like the new Porty 40! Felix goes hands-on with the new Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo and Heritage Spirit, as well as some new Panerai - he's all about the Carbotech.
The first of our two matchmakers is Charith, who's recently had a son and is looking to celebrate with a new watch. Andy shows his usual flexibility of budget while Felix gets all sentimental.
Next up is Hugh, who wants a Pepsi, but can't have one. In this battle of hearts and wrists, Felix and Andy both break the âno-hype piecesâ rule, but also come up with some stellar alternatives.
Watch Matchmaker for Charith:
Andy's picks:
- Habring2 Chrono-Felix
- GlashĂŒtte Original PanoMaticLunar
- Zenith Elite Moonphase
Felix's Picks:
- Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Large Small Seconds
- Cartier Tank Américaine Large
- IWC for Prada GST Chronograph
Watch Matchmaker for Hugh:
Andy's picks:
- Vintage-ish Rolex GMT-Master II
- IWC Portugieser 40
- Grand Seiko SBGH279
Felix's Picks:
- Rolex Explorer
- Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe
- Omega De Ville Hour Vision

Todayâs episode lets you have it with both barrels, first up we talk about the hottest (and in some corners of the internet, the most controversial) watch release of 2020, the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue. Felix and Andy were both lucky enough to give it a test drive, and its an excellent bit of kit. The real drama though was about the release, and to shed some light on that we got a call-in from Bark & Jackâs main man Adrian.
The second barrel is the incomparable Matt Hranek, a manâs man and man about town whoâs the author of the very successful âA Man & His Watchâ, which profiles watches and their (sometimes famous) wearers. Heâs about to do it all over again with automobiles in the (unsurprisingly titled) A Man & His Car. On top of that we get the low down on Mattâs go-to watches, and go to drinks (hint, itâs a Negroni). Chin Chin!

This week Felix and Andy have some show and tell on hand, in the form of the stylish (and very wearable) Cartier Santos-Dumont, which were released this year in mechanical options. They also dive into a colourful Gucci collab, and a very fun, and open watch matchmaker from Marcus. Marcus has $6000 Aussie to spend on a not-overly-massive daily knock-around wearer, and heâs not too fussed when it comes to style. Weirdly enough, Felix and Andy come up with six options that are very similar.
Two of them are literally the same watch, and three of the others are blue-dialled divers. But donât worry, with his last pick Felix went wild (and pretty off brief), so look out for that one.

In 2014 Flight Lieutenant Nathan Jones was co-pilot on a routine military transit flight from the UK to Afghanistan when the flight suddenly plummeted over 4000 feet in a matter of seconds. Listen to our interview with Nathan to find out what happened and how he managed to prevent the death of the near-200 passengers on board. Trust us; youâll want to hear this from the man himself.
And while this is a clear moment of heroism in Nathan Jonesâ career as an RAF pilot, itâs not the only story he has to tell. Jones is also an Invictus Games medalist and has recently spent his hours aloft flying some very VIPS indeed, the Royal Household. And of course, because this is OT: we know that Jones is a fan of watches - in fact, heâs a Bremont ambassador.
On top of that, Jones reps Lululemon as well. But in some ways itâs Jonesâ on-the-ground work heâs most passionate about, using his experiences to advocate for and educate around improving mental health and resilience.

It takes a particular sort of someone to found a brand at the age of 40, and, 11 years later sell for a reported ÂŁ50 million to Chanel. It turns out the Orlebar brown founder Adam Brown is precisely that type of person. Orlebar Brown has been busy making chic swimwear - âa short you can swim inâ - rather than your typical trunks.
We chat to the swimwear supremo about his just-launched collaboration with IWC, which includes leisurewear as well as a particularly chic Portugieser. On top of that, we talk about what it takes to start a successful brand, and just what itâs like to see your trunks clinging to James Bondâs body.
Finally, Felix and Andy talk about the criteria for a perfect travel watch.

Full disclosure, there's quite a lot going on in this episode. We cover off treasure, Scorpions and why Andy was suddenly inundated with Breitlings. But the stars of the show are, without doubt, Kat and Katlen from Tenn & Two. We roped the Tennessee watch fans in to help us wrangle a particularly tricky watch matchmaker; finding a watch for a guy who needs to ditch his ugly digital habit and get something a bit more grown-up. Between the four of us, we come up with a range of solid options and waxed lyrical over drilled lugs.
And then Felix and Andy delved into the weirdness of the CIA getting into soft-rock and the legal implications of finding a pile of gold in the woods.

James Dowling â author, dealer, collector and connoisseur is considered by many to be one of the worldâs leading authorities on Genevaâs green giant â they donât call him Mister Rolex for nothing. And in his decades of collecting and focusing on the watch industry, James has some firm opinions about â well â everything (heâs also got some pretty wild stories). From vintage Rolex collecting going too far, the state of watch knowledge in the Instagram generation through to what (and who) makes a good watch, he pulls no punches. So if youâre looking for a 45-minute crash course in watch collecting and appreciation, you canât afford to miss this.

Two years ago Dr Richard Harris dived into a cave in Thailand and came back a hero. That cave - of course - was part of the Tham Luang cave system, and 4 kilometres deep in it were trapped a football team of 12 young men and one of their coaches. The caves had flooded, and incoming monsoonal rain meant they had to get out of the submerged cave system quickly. As this crisis emerged the list of people with the relevant skills to put in place a rescue became very short, and at the top of it was Richard Harris. An experienced cave diver and anesthetist he had a unique skillset, well suited the incredibly complex rescue situation. We talk to Richard about just how unlikely a success the Tham Luang rescue was, and how it changed his life. We also talk about his other cave diving exploits, the importance of gear to a diver and his Bremont S2000.

On the 26th of October, 2017, after 12 minutes of bidding, a Rolex Daytona reference 6239 that belonged to legendary actor Paul Newman was sold for $17,752,500 USD (including premiums). Itâs widely regarded as the most significant watch auction to date, not just for the hammer price achieved, but for the significance of the watch. In the room was James Cox, who, for decades, wore that watch on his wrist.
That was nearly three years ago now, so we thought it was high time to catch up with James and revisit the story of âPaul Newmanâs Paul Newmanâ, how it ended up on Jamesâ wrist. We talk about what heâs done with the millions of dollars (hint: making the world a better place), why even he canât get a new Daytona at retail, and what watch has replaced the most famous Rolex in the world.

This week we take a turn for the automotive with special guest Massimo Frascella. Massimo is the creative director for Land Rover and heavily involved in the delicate dance that is updating the iconic Defender. We get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into car design, as well as the veteran car designers take on watch design, from the Zenith collaborations through to his take on vintage reissues, âiconicâ design and the importance of good proportions. Plus, we chat about the watches that make it onto Massimoâs wrist, such as the Panerai he bought in the Florentine boutique and everyoneâs favourite French micro, Baltic.

Like many people in the watch media, Adrian fell into it following a passion. That passion led to Bark & Jack, one of the most popular watch channels on YouTube, with 93K subscribers who appreciate Adrianâs laid-back, low-BS approach to watches. We chatted to Adrian about what itâs really like to be a big-shot YouTuber, the reality of Rolex content and grind of traffic and the algorithm, and why Adrian tries not to play that game. We also talk about the perfect watch size, Adrianâs favourites from Watches & Wonders (hello Piaget, Cartier, JLC and Panerai), and the future of the watch business and the one watch that Adrian always recommends to people (hint: itâs not a Rolex).

We were super excited to feature Wing's watch matchmaking request this week. Mostly because he's got a solid budget and wants something sporty and slightly left of centre. So, we brought it home with offerings from Hublot, A. Lange & Söhne, Urban Jurgensen, F.P. Journe, Vacheron Constantin and everyone's favourite underdog, Rolex.
On top of that, we talk about new releases from Sinn and Bell & Ross and bringing brands back from the dead. Along with an exceptionally curated Instagram account, some RUF love and choosing your own adventure. Finally, Dan (from Episode 11) tells us what he thinks of our picks.

A lot is happening in todayâs episode of OT: and all of it is great. First up, we have Diana Chan, winner of Masterchef 2017 in the studio, talking about food, watches, what Patek sheâs got her eyes on. But we also get her to help out with a particularly tricky watch matchmaker, courtesy of Brian. You see Brian wants a smaller, white dialled watch that can do it all. And by golly Felix and Andy deliver on that brief.

Dan is a watch fan who has it all. And by all we mean not one, but two Rolex Submariners: a birth year and a solid yellow gold number. So whatâs the problem? Well, he still loves watches but has nothing at the moment that can compete for wrist time with his Subs. This is where Felix and Andy come in, with six brand-new options that can rival the mighty Submariner. Expect Omega, Breitling, Jeager-LeCoultre, Cartier and more.

In one of the trickier watchmaking challenges to date, Andy and Felix have been tasked by a mysterious doctor to find a watch for for a young artist with a penchant for the smaller things in life.
But after some initial misunderstandings about the meaning of ânot bigger than 36mmâ, they come up with six actually great options, feat. Oris, Nomos, Rado, Bremont, Stowa and a surprise Mido!
They also chat new Timex, Breitling and Watches & Wonders.

Andy and Felix get on the phone to James Stacey and Jason Heaton, hosts of The Grey NATO podcast. And, after they calm down and stop fanboying over them, they dive into a wide-ranging discussion of watches, cars, gear and changing philosophical approached to watch ownership and purchasing (it got real folks).
So, from what it's like to sit in a $15 million McLaren, to the ideal adventure watch and James' genius watch photography clothing hacks (honestly, this blew Andy's Lecia-loving mind) this is one episode you do not want to miss.
On top of that, we get the guys' takes on the most overlooked aspects of an adventure watch, as well as what it's really like to work at Hodinkee.

Enrique is learning to fly. So itâs our mission to find him a watch to mark this milestone. Andy and Felix suit up, unpack the Right Stuff and bust out some â occasionally odd â pilotâs watches. Breitling and Rolex make sense. But Bulgari? And that weird, super expensive Seiko. Odd flex but OK.

We also discuss the ongoing legacy of the Big Pilot and why one simply doesnât design an iconic watch.
Plus one of our listeners wanted advice on what Portofino she should get. So, we went straight to the top!

Brad lives on a horse farm in the woods of rural England. Honestly, this is all he needed to say to get Andy and Felix onboard. The fact that he also wants a 'true' GMT for 4000 GBP or less is the cherry on the cake. Turns out great options, including Grand Seiko, Bremont and Omega abound. Plus the perfect cup of coffee.

In this first episode of OT: The Podcast, meet hosts Andy Green and Felix Scholz, find out what the pod is about (watches basically), and why it took them so long to get it off the ground. The major topic is -- of course -- how COVID-19 has impacted the watch business. But we also find time to chat about bikies and the Baha Men, as well as help Alrick find a daily diver.
