S5 Ep 18IWC's Markus Bühler on movement development and his namesake watch

This week, Andy continues his chat with IWC's MVPs, and this time, he chats with Markus Bühler, Associate Director of Watch and Movement Assembly. From job satisfaction to having a tourbillon (or two) with bearing his name, Bühler provides insights into IWC's meticulous approach to watchmaking. Before this chat, however, Felix goes wildly off-topic with an impassioned defence of one of the greatest works of cinema of the 21st century. This episode is sponsored by IWC.

This week, we get to see Andy in his natural environment of Watches & Wonders as he chats to IWC CEO Chris Grainger in the middle of the packed IWC booth to discuss everything that makes the Schaffhausen-based manufacturer such a force to be reckoned with.

S5 Ep 15John Warren on relaunching the historic Cornell Watch Company

Cornell Watch Company is an old name but a new brand. Chicago native John Warren has long had a fascination with the historic American brand founded in his home city. Most people would be content with collecting old pocket watches and letting history stay in the past, but Warren isn't most people. He's taken the steps to revive the defunct brand and, with the help of American watchmaking legend Roland Murphy of RGM, bring it into the 21st century. We chat with Warren about the ins and outs of bringing an old brand back, why he thinks American watchmaking is important, and why his debut model, the 1870 CE, is special. Like watches?

S5 Ep 14Phil Toledano on his debut watch, brutalist design and Audemars Piguet

Fresh from the flash sale of his debut watch, we chat with Phil Toledano, one-half of Toledano & Chan, and a man who's gone from watch enthusiast to professional over the last few years. Phil talks about the hope and fears he had developing the B1, and how it feels to be memefied alongside Audemars Piguet (who happened to release the inspired-by-brutalism Remaster02 recently. Andy also gives Phil some handy business advice, and we get some old-school video game recs. You don't miss this slightly off-the-rails chat with the one and only Mister Enthusiast.

S5 Ep 13Only Watch 2024, Richemont's new CEO and more news

This week we talk about the 10th edition of the Only Watch charity auction, originally shcedule for 2023, but after drama and allegations of fiscal impropriety plagued the auction, it was delayed until the other week. Sadly, problems of a whole other nature marred its return, courtesy of some security issues with Christie's online platform taking online voting off the table. Still, they managed to raise a tidy 28.3 million CHF, thanks largely to Patek Philippe. We chat about some of the high (and low) lights of the auction, as well as its place in the industry, On top of that, Van Cleef & Arpels CEO Nicolas Bos has been appointed Richemont group CEO, and we make a strong case for the fact that the only watch you truly need is a quartz Seiko.

This week, we continue our post-game analysis of Watches & Wonders, with a perhaps surprising focus on some of the more fashion-forward brands at the Palexpo.

Andy is on the ground at Watches & Wonders in Geneva, and he's only got one thing on his mind — Cartier. We have a chat about all the latest releases from the Maison, including the Privé Tortue and the Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph, as well as the newest additions to the Santos de Cartier and Santos-Dumont lines (including the mind-bending Santos-Dumont Rewind ).

S5 Ep 7Hot Takes 2024 feat. Tudor, Cartier + the return of big watches

This week's episode contains more spice than Dune 1 and 2 combined — welcome to the first hot takes episode of 2024. Fuelled by the hottest takes from the OT: discord, Andy and Felix debate some of the most burning (and a few of the most trivial) issues the watch industry faces in 2024. From thought-provoking claims like 'if Tudor dropped the Snowflake hand they'd be more successful' and 'the swing back to big watches is inevitable' through to less earth-shattering takes like '120 bezel clicks are too many', Andy and Felix wade fearlessly through the most controversial of takes.

S5 Ep 6Jenni Elle on Audemars Piguet and Watches & Wonders

It's been a hot minute, but we're excited to have the one and only Jenni Elle back on the podcast. In case you're not across her work, Jenni Elle is one of the biggest personalities on watch YouTube and a genuinely lovely person. The big news from Jenni Elle's side of the world is that she's had a child, so obviously, we talk about the pros and cons of passing it on to the next generation. In addition to the joys of a baby's first Patek, we chat with Jenni about Watches & Wonders, including a bit of chat about what we can expect from everyone's favourite hype brands, Rolex and Patek Philippe. But before that, we interrogated the new white-dialled Speedmaster, and argue over the finer points of whether or not a safe watch is inherently boring. We also cover the new releases from Audemars Piguet, including John Mayer's Crystal Sky Perpetual Calendar.

S5 Ep 5Louis Erard's CEO Manuel Emch on the power of collabs

For the last instalment in the Dubai Files, Felix sits down with Manuel Emch, the creative mind behind the resurgence of Louis Erard, which has evolved over the last few years from a middle-of-the-road value proposition into a powerhouse of collaboration. Enlisting help from people like Alain Silberstein and Konstantin Chaykin has seen Louis Erard become one of the most interesting names in watchmaking at the moment. All thanks to the Emch, a man with a reputation for putting out fires. Felix finds out about Emch, his approach to watches and what might happen to Louis Erard when collabs go out of favour.

S5 Ep 4Ming Thein, founder of Horologer Ming, talks design and lightweight watches

The Dubai Files keep on giving, as this week we've got Felix's chat with Ming Thein, the self-described Supreme Overlord of Horologer Ming, one of the most exciting and prolific young watch brands, who have racked up 62 references in only six years. Felix and Ming spend a lot of time chatting about the incredible new Ming LW.01, which Ming believes is the lightest mechanical watch ever made, coming in at 8.8 grams for the manual and 10.8 grams for the automatic. Beyond this incredible feat, they also discuss the joys and challenges of being a young, nimble watch brand in this day and age. Closer to home, the big news is that Andy will be jetting off to his first-ever Watches & Wonders and is currently knee-deep in scheduling shenanigans. If you have any Geneva tips, let us know!

S5 Ep 3February News — LVMH Watch Week, Piaget Hype and Taylor Swift

LVMH Watch Week, which was recently held in Miami, marks the start fo the flood of new releases for the year, and for our first news episode, we fly through some of the highlights from TAG Heuer, Hublot, Bulgari and Zenith. Of course, LVMH doesn't have a monopoly on the news, and Piaget's hype-y new Polo 79 is bringing u80s realness back to the wrist. But all these new releases pale compared to the biggest news story of the last few months, about a woman so cool she doesn't even need to wear watches on her wrists. Yes, the one and only Taylor Swift ruffled feathers by wearing a custom choker with a Concord watch front and centre. We have thoughts. Beyond that, the big news in OT: land is that we're getting into video, so if you've ever wanted to see the faces we make while recording your favourite watch pod, you're in luck.

S5 Ep 1Rolf Studer (Oris) on building a sustainable watch brand

As Andy and Felix enjoy their summer down under, the Dubai Files continues to deliver. This week Felix chats to Oris Co-CEO Rolf Studer, and it's not your average watch exec interview. Typically, it's a challenge to get a CEO to talk about anything but the watches, but in our chat with Studer, we ended up talking far more about the Enlightenment and philosophy (and how it relates to the business of watches) than is usual. Of course, we did manage to squeeze in some chat about the glorious Propilot X Laser along the way.

S4 Ep 42Davide Cerrato (Bremont) on his plans for the British brand

Felix caught up with the effervescent Davide Cerrato at Dubai Watch Week, who's starting to feel comfortable in the top job at Bremont after six months. Felix and Davide chat about what he's been up to, but most importantly, what he's got planned for the next evolution of Bremont. Unfortunately, it sounds like we'll have to wait until Watches & Wonders 2024 to see just what he's been cooking up, but if the idea of a Bremont Field Watch tickles your fancy, stay tuned. Before the Bremont shenanigans, Andy and Felix chat about Universal Geneve, and gift each other some hypothetical Zodiac stocking stuffers. It's festive and fantastic!

S4 Ep 41Jason Heaton (The Grey NATO) on his second novel, Sweetwater

Jason Heaton, everyone's favourite diving watch guy, is back! Last time we had the pleasure of Heaton's dulcet tones in our ears, he was talking about his debut novel Depth Charge. Now he's back with a brand new novel: Sweetwater. Sweetwater sees the return of Tusker, the marine archaeologist, but now the action is a bit closer to home: the icy waters of Lake Superior. What hasn't changed, though, is Heaton's brisk adventure thriller tone, which sees the action coming on thick and fast, with the political intrigue as murky as the depths. We don't dive into too many spoilers with Jason, but we do find out how this novel is different to his first, just how much of Tusker is recognisably Jason, and more. Of course, we also chat about the rest of Jason's life, from dipping his toes back into watches and how the impossibly cool podcast, The Grey NATO, is going from strength to strength. And before all that, we chat about why Zodiac nails the creative use of colour. This episode is sponsored by Zodiac.

S4 Ep 40Jean-Claude Biver at Dubai Watch Week, and more Zodiac

Jean-Claude Biver is one of the most important individuals in modern watchmaking, a man with a legendary CV and a long legacy. These days, though, it's his own name on the dial, and when Felix had a surprise interview at Dubai Watch Week, it was finding out how Biver senior has transitioned from running mega watch groups to working with a small family business. Of course, when you get the chance to chat with someone who's done it all, you ask the big questions about the future of the watch industry and whether or not it's selfish to put your own name on the dial. But before all this, we get the second instalment of our chat with Zodiac's Mike Pearson and find out why the brand is focussing on its core. This episode is sponsored by Zodiac.

S4 Ep 39Alan 'Hammer' Bloore on selling his collection and getting his affairs in order

Alan Bloore — better known as Hammer — is a legend in the world of collecting, particularly when it comes to Panerai. He's been collecting watches since the 1980s, and, in a few days, Hammer's watch collection is going under the hammer at Sotheby's New York. Hammer is selling because, in his own words, "it's time to get my affairs in order." We talk about Hammer's lifelong love of watches, Panerai and the Paneristi forum, as a maritime accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury and the first of many doctors asking, 'are your affairs in order'. Nearly 20 years later, Hammer has lived an incredible second life, a life in which watches — and the watch community — played a central role. Hammer talks about what watches mean for him, and the connections he's made based on these fascinating machines. In 2019, he had another accident, and doctors once again started to ask if his affairs were in order. For Hammer, a large part of his life's affairs are his watches, and with this sale, he can say that yes, they are. Before chatting to Hammer, we talk to Mike Pearson, Zodiac's International Director of Brand Development, about the brand's history, and how they're interpreting it today This episode is sponsored by Zodiac.

S4 Ep 38The Dubai Watch Week Debrief

Felix is back from sunny Dubai, and he's got plenty of tales to tell. Andy and Felix debrief about the latest edition of this regional watch show with an ever-increasing international reach. From some absolutely wild wrist-spotting to even wilder weather, there's a lot going on at DWW, and that's before we get to the formal programming and watch releases. Andy takes a shine to the slimmer new Streamliner from Moser, and Felix chats about the non-watch release moments of the week that stood out. Cartier Curious? Join our Discord.

S4 Ep 34Sylvain Berneron on building Breitling and side hustlin his own brand

Today, we chat with Sylvain Berneron, a talented watch designer who — unusually for the Swiss watch industry — has dual responsibilities. He's in charge of design at Breitling, spending his days working on the latest evolutions of some of the most iconic sports chronographs ever made. On top of that, he's also the founder of his own watch brand, Berneron, which has debuted the impressive, elegant Mirage, a shaped watch with a shaped movement that challenges many of the established conventions of watch design. Berneron explains the design and the very specific decisions that went into the Mirage and what his future plans for the Berneron brand are.

Felix chats about his recent jaunt to Sydney to check out IWC's Big Pilot Roadshow, then Andy puts on his bowling shirt, heats up the gabagool and talks about watch spotting in Sopranos. Then, some speculation about the (now not rumoured) Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms (sadly not called the Swifty Swathoms), and they discuss the latest from Geneva Watch Days and also the totally objective GPHG nominations.

S4 Ep 30Paulin Watches' Lewis Heath and Imogen Ayres on the future of the Scottish brand

Double trouble today with Lewis Heath and Imogen Ayres, who you might know as founder and founding team member of anOrdain — but if you're hoping for an in-depth chat on enamel, you'll be disappointed. Instead, we're talking about Paulin Watches, a Scottish brand that anOrdain has recently acquired and has big plans for. Heath and Ayres explain how Paulin's more design-focused, accessible identity means that the brand has more scope for experimentation than the anOrdain, with its time-consuming enamel dials and long waitlists. Of course, they've relaunched with a bang, in the form of the 35mm modular Modul, with some truly wild dials. Looking for hot drops and crop tops? Join our Discord.

Today's episode comes straight from our secure audio archive — a short and razor-sharp chat with Zenith CEO Julien Tornare, recorded in the last days of Watches & Wonders. Felix chats with Julien about how he solved the problem of the brand being more famous for its movements than the name on the dial, how the brand went hyperactive during the pandemic, and what that momentum means for the future.

Today we dive into the annals of horological history, to discover a tale of watchmaking on the world stage in the nineteenth century, a time when America's star was rising, and the Swiss national industry was facing a host of challenges. Aaron Stark, author of Disrupting Time, tells how Jacques David and Theo Gribi, two Swiss spies, travelled to America, and actively worked to gather information on their American competition and develop a strategy to bring the Swiss industry into the 20th century. Before this high-stakes spy drama, there's the usual low-stakes shenanigans. This episode is sponsored by Artem Straps; check out the brand new Loop-Less Sailcloth strap in khaki green.

S4 Ep 22Rick Cosgrove from Sō Labs on unconventional design and keeping it funky

This week we take a quick trip to funky town, with Sō Labs co-founder Rick Cosgrove as our tour guide. Rick talks us through his influences and the challenges he's come across so far, but mostly we talk about the watches. Sō Labs is a young Chicago-based brand with an unconventional design proposition. Layers. Layers and colours. The traditional layout of hands and numbers isn't a part of Sō Labs design language; instead, the brand uses a series of colourful shapes to create a layered effect that is surprisingly intuitive but also not like anything else you'd see on the market. Novel looks will only get you so far, so it's fortunate that the brand has the build quality to back it up.

But don't worry, it all ties into watches — as is immediately apparent with the 1858 Iced Sea collection in blue, black and green.

And when we say 'some time' we meant, a seriously sleep deprived Felix and an overworked Andy had an informal chat about what it was like on the ground, some other highlights on the ground, and who's booth was best. As if that wasn't enough, there's also a rapid-fire chat with TAG Heuer's Heritage Director Nicholas Biebuyck about the history of the Carrera. This week's episode is brought to you by TAG Heuer, who are celebrating 60 years of the iconic Carrara. Find out more about this legendary chronograph here.
