While Breitling was coming out with some cushion shaped chronographs and we were all filling out a MoonSwatch application the official relaunch of Lorier was announced. With Worn and Wound moving from journalism with a shop to also owning a watch brand came a small retooling of the look of Lorier. Many on the internet shared their opinion and it had us thinking about another event that happened with Hodinkee this week and our experience with internet comment sections both good and bad.

It used to be that most watch brands would work with a group of collectors to create a custom club watch. In today's watch world many of the more expensive established brands ignore the enthusiast for the general consumer.That is where newer brands have come in with a focus on building a community. Annette and Mark talk about how some watch brands are willing to do just about anything for the watch community and Annette's recent experience with Maurice LaCroix. A experience where the brand brought together different members of the watch community to help create a watch for the 250th Anniversary of America's independence.

Like a couple on TV sitting down in front of a therapist forced to say something nice about the other person, Annette and Mark sit down and say something nice about Rolex.While Rolex dominates the luxury watch industry and has earned millions of fans both inside and outside collecting communities it has also found more than a few detractors.We have traditionally been critical of the crown, but maybe a sit down on the fictional hodological therapy couch can change our opinion.
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.
