230 - Tourbillon Truths, Seiko Surprises, and N3W5 "News"

aBlogtoWatch Weekly is back on the main aBlogtoWatch YouTube channel with new releases every Friday!- https://www.youtube.com/@ablogtowatch It is a European takeover this week as Rick and David hold down the fort for another lively episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly. They dive into the ongoing debate over whether third party tourbillons are really worth the money, take a close look at Jaeger-LeCoultre's incredible Heliotourbillon, and discuss why mechanical complexity still fascinates collectors even when it serves little practical purpose.The conversation then shifts to Seiko, where David shares his hands on impressions of the new Marinemaster and explains why he believes it is one of the brand's strongest modern dive watches. They also weigh the value of Seiko's latest chronograph releases before turning their attention to François-Henry Bennahmias' newly announced watch brand, N3W5 ("News"), whose unusual name, branding, and marketing philosophy sends the conversation in some unexpected directions. As always, expect plenty of watch opinions, collector debates, and more than a few laughs along the way.This week's episode is sponsored by the Movado Heritage Kingmatic collection, learn more at the link below:- https://www.movado.com/ To check out the ABTW Shop, where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!Key Timestamps:0:01 European Duo Takes Over1:41 Rolex Titanium & Collector Reactions4:34 Are Third Party Tourbillons Worth It?15:15 JLC's Heliotourbillon Explained24:16 Seiko MarineMaster Hands On30:52 Seiko Speedtimer Value Debate34:23 Rowing Blazers x Seiko 539:30 François-Henry Bennahmias Launches N3W547:42 N3W5's Branding & "We Are Our Own Compass"52:41 Predicting the N3W5 Watches59:44 What's Coming Next at aBlogtoWatch
