EP86: There's a New "Watchmaker's Watchmaker" in Town
Rob and Zach's Switzerland adventures continue with a report from the Vaucher Manufacture, home of Parmigiani Fleurier, and as we would soon learn, many other very interesting high-end brands as well, confirming all suspicions that the *real* "watchmaker's watchmaker" crown might no longer reside in its traditional home of Le Sentier, but right here in the sleepy Swiss town of Fleurier.

EP85: Live from the Attic of Charles Vermot
No one's ever recorded a podcast from the fabled Zenith attic – you know the one, where watchmaker Charles Vermot once hid away the tooling and materials used to make the El Primero movement, a rebellious decision that would ultimately save the company and cement his name in watchmaking lore. Today, Rob and Zach finally had a chance to climb the steps into the attic and record a very special episode following an enlightening day at the Zenith manufacture in Le Locle.
