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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
