Chrono Passion 7 Podcast

The infamous Quartz Crisis in the 1970s forced a lot of great historical watch brands to close their doors, with Angelus probably being one with the most heritage. However, today, Angelus has been reinvented in a more modern incarnation, and at the helm is its engaging and driven Managing Director, Pascal Béchu, who we shoot the breeze with in our latest episode. Find out how Pascal deals with retaining the DNA of vintage Angelus in the new watch company whist keeping it relevant and up to date with its sports chronograph history. Hear about how releasing complications from the past need to be done alongside adding complications never used previously in its heyday.  Talking of complications we also discuss how the monopusher on the amazing Instrument de Vitesse (Speed Instrument) was inspired but the collective artisan genius of F.P Journe, Vianney Halter, both famous for their eponymous brands, and Denis Flageollet, the watchmaking genius behind De Bethune. Not to mention the chronograph history of the Chronodate (formerly known as the Chronodato) and the incredibly important Doctor’s Watch complication.  So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we rev up and talk sport watches, sports cars and the future of a brand whose future is very strategically steeped in the past.  Don't forget to check out the show notes on our website to add a visual experience at: www.chronopassion7.com [https://www.chronopassion7.com/] or at our Instagram @chrono_passion_7 [https://www.instagram.com/chrono_passion_7/].

What makes a watch contrarian? Going against the grain? Rejecting popular belief? Or just an appreciation of watches which might not hit everyone’s radar but certainly captures the attention of a contrarian few? Find out the answer to this most posing of questions as we welcome journalist, enthusiast and all round engaging top guy, Thor Svaboe onto the CP7 Podcast. Thor enlightens us with the answers to all of these questions and more.  He's seen more than his fair share of weird and wonderful watches being an accomplished writer with an edge, who started at Time + Tide, and  rapidly moved on to elite publications such as Revolution, Oracle Time, Fratello and  more recently to the big daddy of them all, Hodinkee.

We're back for another episode of the CP7 Podcast Unplugged, with minimal editing, and the boys just shooting the breeze with what's been happening with them recently.  Catch up with what they have been up to over the last couple of weeks and also hear their take on the most controversial Patek Philippe watch ever released, and definitely the most controversial watch released this year, the Cubitus. Is this really the new 5711? Is is ugly or an evolution of sports watches and the shape of things to come? Is it really a copy of the Cartier Santos? Listen in and find out their take on it and what did Thierry Stern really mean with his comments on why the Cubitus has been received so unceremoniously? So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we go deep into the cube!

Join us as we talk to Huiy Tang, Co-Founder and the marketing maestro behind RZE Watches. Assembled for adventure since 2020, RZE has been building timepieces for the everyday adventurer, pushing boundaries in quality and value again and again. Greatly inspired by the use of titanium in the aerospace industry for its strength, weight and look, and being a brand so competitively priced in its target market we find out how such stylish, durable and functional watches can be created at these highly competitive price points. Hear how Huiy shares that spirit of adventure that he loves, and how he’d rather live the simple life, and appreciate the great outdoors with the pursuits it brings, rather than buy that big house and Lamborghini, which is a mindset that impressively flows through the other founders of the brand, Travis and Clarence. Huiy also explains why the tool watch market is the perfect choice for RZE, with a keen association with sustainability projects such as Canada’s Project Forest which sets out to rewild Canada’s local landscape, and a range of outdoor activity and highly durable tools and products. So put on your best outdoor adventure gear, and lace up your boots, so you can buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk to Huiy from this very unique and cool brand.
