Ep. 18 Watches That Disappointed or Surprised Us

We have been lucky to see a large number of watches and a few have either surprised us by how much better they were in person or disappointed when put on the wrist. On this episode we list a few from both sides of the expectations game from Nomos, Omega, Moser, Oris, Maurice Lacroix and others.

EP.17 Don't Call It An Homage

An errant comment from an anonymous internet troll about the new Christopher Ward Sealander has hit a nerve with Annette. The idea of calling the Sealander an homage to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual launched Annette into rant mode and uses this week's podcast to air her grievances.  Sometimes we all need to yell into the void and we are sure many watch enthusiasts share our opinions on watch design, internet trolls, and a general appreciation for what Christopher Ward and the team over in England has been able to pull off in recent years.

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.

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.
