Married To Watches

Ep. 16 Royal Pop - The messy launch of The Swatch X AP love Child

The Royal Pop has been the biggest watch story so far this year. Some are disappointed it isn't a wrist watch but that didn't stop mobs of people from overwhelming stores. We give our own opinion on the Swatch collaborations and some thoughts on how good and bad this latest collaboration of plastic timekeeping.

Ep.15 Getting Our Family Into Watches

Coming back from vacation visiting our family we had an appreciation for the impact our watch mania has had on them. Slowly we have seen our family go from rolling their eyes as we talk about the latest releases to watching them get excited about buying a new watch of their own. We talk about how amazing it is to see the growing love of watches in others and how it impacts our appreciation for our own journey.

Ep.14 Why Care About Watch Auctions?

Watch auctions are often ignored by the average collector for only being geared towards the most well off of customers, and that is a fair take. But, these auctions also represent a chance to learn about rare one of ones, historically important watches, and the never before seen in public pieces. They are full of history and design that you cannot find anywhere else. They offer a chance to learn about the world of watches from the rare and unique. Annette and Mark dive into the Monaco Legends Auction from April 25th and 26th to take a look at some interesting, rare, and museum worthy watches that help show why the world of watch auctions is worth your time and attention.

Ep. 13 Watches and Wonders

The biggest watch show of the year has come and gone and left us all feeling a bit underwhelmed. Shifting through the list of watches that didn't excite Annette and Mark find their three favorite watches from the show and talk about who did have a good group of novelties and who did not. Mark also goes on a bit of a rant on watch journalism for clear factual errors on the Rolex reporting, and for once defends Rolex when doing so.

Ep. 12 Universal Geneve Is Back From The Dead

Universal Geneve has long been the darling of the vintage watch collection community. This week it was brought back to life with an entire lineup as the upmarket sister brand to Breitling. We go over a very brief history of the brand before diving into the entire lineup from Polerouter to Disco Volante Uni-Compax chronographs. Not to ruin the surprise, but we think they did a hell of a good job and have a few on our wishlist.
