OT: The Podcast

Not only does James Thompson (AKA Black Badger) have a voice like smooth Canadian maple syrup, but he's also got an approach to industrial design that is far outside the norm. Most famous for his outrageous use of luminous materials, few makers have what it takes to work with difficult, unconventional materials like 80,000-year-old mammoth tooth, chunks of superconductor or even finely ground coffee. And when he's not at home in Sweden, he can be found cooking up trouble near the independent brands like MB&F and DeBethune. Of course, this unconventional approach has led to quite a few fans, from George Bamford at Bamford Watch Department through to the one and only Robert Downey Jnr and the one and only Arnie. This episode was brought to you by eBay.

Not too long into our interview with iconic NYC jeweller Greg Yuna, he asks to speak freely. "I like fucking the watches up. I like ruining them." Of course, he's doing nothing of the sort — his stone setting of Patek, AP and Rolex is up there with the best (he's called The Cleanest for a reason). While some purists might argue that this sort of custom work is sacrilegious, Yuna has a long list of clients, including Drake, Meek Mill, Floyd Mayweather and Ariana Grande who would argue the opposite. But Yuna's work ethic is as flawless as his stones — the man does not stop and is always onto the next thing, be that a stone dialled Rolex Day-Date, consulting on and appearing Adam Sandler's Uncut Gems, launching a new line of jewellery or helping sell the Jacob & Co 'Billionaire' watch. Do not miss this. You'll laugh, you'll learn, you'll be inspired. This episode is made possible by our sponsor, eBay.

If you've ever watched a watch review on YouTube, today's guest needs no introduction. Jenni Elle is a German watch fan who started her own channel in January 2020 and quickly exploded in popularity, racking up 88.8k subscribers and 6.1 million views in a few short months. We chat to Jenni Elle about how she got into watches, her authentic and natural approach to watch reviewing, perfecting the art of the Rolex hype video and an insiders guide to the professional watch photography. We also cover off why women's watches is a marketing stunt, as well as the very real dangers of wearing a precious metal watch in real life. Plus Andy explains all about the Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos clock, Felix and Andy get up to some fantasy eBay shopping, and Andy fires shots at the Speedmaster.

If there's such a thing as a *normal* path to founding a fashion brand, Jack Carlson didn't follow it. Before he was a designer and best-selling author, Carlson was an archaeologist who rowed at a national level. But as we discover in this dive into the fascinating and occasionally weird and tradition-bound world of rowing, there's a rich history that blurs the lines of sports, fashion, and cultural anthropology. For Carlson, research turned into a book (celebrated by none other than Mr. Ralph Lauren himself), which turned into Rowing Blazers. We talk about what the brand is, how the distinctive identity was formed, and who it's for (hint — not just rowers), as well as the joys of a good watch and what it feels like to watch TV and see Tan France wearing your blazer. Or the surprise in finding out that multi-Grammy winning rapper Macklemore, has been one of your best customers since day one! Make sure to listen to the end because there's an Easter egg in there for watch fans. This episode is made possible by our sponsor, eBay.

We don't like to throw the words 'industry insider' around too much, but they're words that could well be applied to photographer and watch specialist Joy Corthésy. Joy, who works across GMT and WorldTempus was a key player in putting together The Millennium Watch Book, which is an overview of the last 20 years of watches (with some surprising insights on just how big a deal patents are in the watch biz). The conversation quickly goes off the rails as we go behind the scenes at Baselworld and accidentally restart the beef with Kristian Haagen. Then Joy schools Andy and Felix on just what makes a 'good' women's watch. No spoilers, but it turns out that the category as a whole makes no sense, and that gender-neutral watches are the future, as brands like MB&F, Cartier, Chanel and Bulgari are proving. We also get some pro tips off Joy on how to shoot watches well (and gets into a fight with Andy) and what it's like to live and work in the heartland of the industry — which is pretty much pilates with watch brand CEOs every day.

Actor/Singer/Model/Entrepreneur/Podcast host Miles Fisher can do it all. Certainly, Andy and Miles talk about it all, from how his watch collection (which started with a Cartier Tank and a Rolex Explorer), suddenly exploded when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and Miles found that watches helped him quiet his mind. And of course, we couldn't get Miles on and not talk about his epic take on Tom Cruise running for President. We also cover off his podcast Coffee with the Greats, which sees him sit down with some legendary guests. And because Miles also has his own roasting business, they talk about actual coffee.

This week we've got a big one, talking new Rolex releases, headphones with Jacobi Anstruther (Founder, Iris Listenwell), and launch OT: merch! By now you've seen the news - Rolex dropped their 2020 collection. We jumped on the mics the evening of the release, to share our initial thoughts, and recorded a quick take, which we've inserted into the regular program. Bigger Submariners, brighter Oyster Perpetuals, flexxy Sky-Dwellers - we've got all the news. And for the main event - we have a fascinating chat with Jacobi Anstruther, the founder behind revolutionary headphone and audio company Iris Listenwell. Jacobi schools us on how sound works, the gradual decline in audio quality over the years and how Iris is different, and why he vowed never to wear a watch ever again. We are also super proud to announce our first ever merchandise; the hilarious 'Stickers are for Flippers' stickers, which are a great way to support us. This episode is made possible by our sponsor, William Wood Watches.

Today's guest has amassed quite the resume. Roger Cruickshank is an Olympian, RAF Pilot, Distinguished Flying Cross recipient and author. In our conversation with Roger, we quickly discovered that his journey wasn't an easy one. A talented skier from an early age, Roger had to make tough decisions about choosing to pursue his dream of being a professional skier, or becoming a pilot, eventually choosing the latter. Luckily the RAF supported his Olympic dream and Cruickshank was on course to do both. Until a debilitating accident in 2005 grounded him and shattered his sporting dreams. But in a comeback story worthy of Hollywood, Cruickshank pushed through rehabilitation to qualify and compete in the Turin Winter Olympics, and have a long and distinguished RAF career, much of it in Eurofighter Typhoons. Of course, we quiz Cruickshank on the important business of pilot's watches, and if he ever checks his Breitling, Bremont or Casio in the cockpit. On a more serious note, Cruickshank is also a keen mental health advocate, a Headfit ambassador and co-author of the book Speed of Sound, Sound of Mind, in which Cruickshank explores the importance of mental resilience beyond the 'stiff upper lip' approach. This episode is made possible by our sponsor, William Wood Watches.

Today's guest is the enthusiastic and passionate Alice Zaslavsky. Alice and her trademark oversized specs burst onto the scene way back in Masterchef season one, and she's been a staple of the food scene ever since, thanks to her trademark blend of accessible and expert. But before we talk brassicas, we get down to brass tacks and find out just how Alice got her big 'ol Panerai, and why it's not really hers, how she gets around rocking a 47mm watch. We also find out what's next for her wrist and how she negotiates sharing a watch with her partner. From then it's all In Praise of Veg, Alice's upcoming book on how to make the most out of the veggies in your life. Seriously, there's a matrix in it and everything.

Today on the show our guest of honour is full-time independent engraving royalty Johnny Dowell, also known by his Instagram/engraving/wrestling name of King Nerd. While listeners might be familiar with Johnny's work on watches, through stunning engraved Urwerks, Linde Werdelins and the like, we find out out how one starts on the unconventional career path to becoming a professional engraver. For Johnny, that journey began at prestigious gunmakers James Purdey & Sons. From shotguns, Johnny made the jump to JLCs and Panerais, eventually moving into solo practice. Since stepping out on his own, Johnny has gone from strength to strength, working with some of the biggest names in the business, including an enduring creative collaboration with Bamford Watch Department and a very cool custom series with the artist, Mister Enthusiast. In other news, Felix calls out Hamish Blake, Andy peeps some new Breitling (again) and gushes over the Chronomat (again).

Double trouble, toil and lots of bubble. This week - instead of chatting to the great and the good of the watch world - Andy and Felix are catching up on their emails, and have two solid watch matchmakers to get off the books. But before that, they catch up on what they've seen - Andy gets a vintage Tudor Submariner back from service and sees some hot new IWC, like the new Porty 40! Felix goes hands-on with the new Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo and Heritage Spirit, as well as some new Panerai - he's all about the Carbotech. The first of our two matchmakers is Charith, who's recently had a son and is looking to celebrate with a new watch. Andy shows his usual flexibility of budget while Felix gets all sentimental. Next up is Hugh, who wants a Pepsi, but can't have one. In this battle of hearts and wrists, Felix and Andy both break the 'no-hype pieces' rule, but also come up with some stellar alternatives.

Today's episode lets you have it with both barrels, first up we talk about the hottest (and in some corners of the internet, the most controversial) watch release of 2020, the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue. Felix and Andy were both lucky enough to give it a test drive, and its an excellent bit of kit. The real drama though was about the release, and to shed some light on that we got a call-in from Bark & Jack's main man Adrian. The second barrel is the incomparable Matt Hranek, a man's man and man about town who's the author of the very successful 'A Man & His Watch', which profiles watches and their (sometimes famous) wearers. He's about to do it all over again with automobiles in the (unsurprisingly titled) A Man & His Car. On top of that we get the low down on Matt's go-to watches, and go to drinks (hint, it's a Negroni). Chin Chin! Show-note available here.

This week Felix and Andy have some show and tell on hand, in the form of the stylish (and very wearable) Cartier Santos-Dumont, which were released this year in mechanical options. They also dive into a colourful Gucci collab, and a very fun, and open watch matchmaker from Marcus. Marcus has $6000 Aussie to spend on a not-overly-massive daily knock-around wearer, and he's not too fussed when it comes to style. Weirdly enough, Felix and Andy come up with six options that are very similar. Two of them are literally the same watch, and three of the others are blue-dialled divers. But don't worry, with his last pick Felix went wild (and pretty off brief), so look out for that one.

In 2014 Flight Lieutenant Nathan Jones was co-pilot on a routine military transit flight from the UK to Afghanistan when the flight suddenly plummeted over 4000 feet in a matter of seconds. Listen to our interview with Nathan to find out what happened and how he managed to prevent the death of the near-200 passengers on board. Trust us; you'll want to hear this from the man himself. And while this is a clear moment of heroism in Nathan Jones' career as an RAF pilot, it's not the only story he has to tell. Jones is also an Invictus Games medalist and has recently spent his hours aloft flying some very VIPS indeed, the Royal Household. And of course, because this is OT: we know that Jones is a fan of watches - in fact, he's a Bremont ambassador. On top of that, Jones reps Lululemon as well. But in some ways it's Jones' on-the-ground work he's most passionate about, using his experiences to advocate for and educate around improving mental health and resilience.

It takes a particular sort of someone to found a brand at the age of 40, and, 11 years later sell for a reported £50 million to Chanel. It turns out the Orlebar brown founder Adam Brown is precisely that type of person. Orlebar Brown has been busy making chic swimwear - 'a short you can swim in' - rather than your typical trunks. We chat to the swimwear supremo about his just-launched collaboration with IWC, which includes leisurewear as well as a particularly chic Portugieser. On top of that, we talk about what it takes to start a successful brand, and just what it's like to see your trunks clinging to James Bond's body. Finally, Felix and Andy talk about the criteria for a perfect travel watch.

Full disclosure, there's quite a lot going on in this episode. We cover off treasure, Scorpions and why Andy was suddenly inundated with Breitlings. But the stars of the show are, without doubt, Kat and Katlen from Tenn & Two. We roped the Tennessee watch fans in to help us wrangle a particularly tricky watch matchmaker; finding a watch for a guy who needs to ditch his ugly digital habit and get something a bit more grown-up. Between the four of us, we come up with a range of solid options and waxed lyrical over drilled lugs. And then Felix and Andy delved into the weirdness of the CIA getting into soft-rock and the legal implications of finding a pile of gold in the woods.

James Dowling — author, dealer, collector and connoisseur is considered by many to be one of the world's leading authorities on Geneva's green giant — they don't call him Mister Rolex for nothing. And in his decades of collecting and focusing on the watch industry, James has some firm opinions about — well — everything (he's also got some pretty wild stories). From vintage Rolex collecting going too far, the state of watch knowledge in the Instagram generation through to what (and who) makes a good watch, he pulls no punches. So if you're looking for a 45-minute crash course in watch collecting and appreciation, you can't afford to miss this. This episode is made possible by Swiss Typefaces.

Two years ago Dr Richard Harris dived into a cave in Thailand and came back a hero. That cave - of course - was part of the Tham Luang cave system, and 4 kilometres deep in it were trapped a football team of 12 young men and one of their coaches. The caves had flooded, and incoming monsoonal rain meant they had to get out of the submerged cave system quickly. As this crisis emerged the list of people with the relevant skills to put in place a rescue became very short, and at the top of it was Richard Harris. An experienced cave diver and anesthetist he had a unique skillset, well suited the incredibly complex rescue situation. We talk to Richard about just how unlikely a success the Tham Luang rescue was, and how it changed his life. We also talk about his other cave diving exploits, the importance of gear to a diver and his Bremont S2000. This episode is made possible by Swiss Typefaces.

On the 26th of October, 2017, after 12 minutes of bidding, a Rolex Daytona reference 6239 that belonged to legendary actor Paul Newman was sold for $17,752,500 USD (including premiums). It's widely regarded as the most significant watch auction to date, not just for the hammer price achieved, but for the significance of the watch. In the room was James Cox, who, for decades, wore that watch on his wrist. That was nearly three years ago now, so we thought it was high time to catch up with James and revisit the story of 'Paul Newman's Paul Newman', how it ended up on James' wrist. We talk about what he's done with the millions of dollars (hint: making the world a better place), why even he can't get a new Daytona at retail, and what watch has replaced the most famous Rolex in the world.

This week we take a turn for the automotive with special guest Massimo Frascella. Massimo is the creative director for Land Rover and heavily involved in the delicate dance that is updating the iconic Defender. We get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into car design, as well as the veteran car designers take on watch design, from the Zenith collaborations through to his take on vintage reissues, 'iconic' design and the importance of good proportions. Plus, we chat about the watches that make it onto Massimo's wrist, such as the Panerai he bought in the Florentine boutique and everyone's favourite French micro, Baltic.

Like many people in the watch media, Adrian fell into it following a passion. That passion led to Bark & Jack, one of the most popular watch channels on YouTube, with 93K subscribers who appreciate Adrian's laid-back, low-BS approach to watches. We chatted to Adrian about what it's *really* like to be a big-shot YouTuber, the reality of Rolex content and grind of traffic and the algorithm, and why Adrian tries not to play that game. We also talk about the perfect watch size, Adrian's favourites from Watches & Wonders (hello Piaget, Cartier, JLC and Panerai), and the future of the watch business and the one watch that Adrian always recommends to people (hint: it's not a Rolex).

We were super excited to feature Wing's watch matchmaking request this week. Mostly because he's got a solid budget and wants something sporty and slightly left of centre. So, we brought it home with offerings from Hublot, A. Lange & Söhne, Urban Jurgensen, F.P. Journe, Vacheron Constantin and everyone's favourite underdog, Rolex. On top of that, we talk about new releases from Sinn and Bell & Ross and bringing brands back from the dead. Along with an exceptionally curated Instagram account, some RUF love and choosing your own adventure. Finally, Dan (from Episode 11) tells us what he thinks of our picks.

A lot is happening in today's episode of OT: and all of it is great. First up, we have Diana Chan, winner of Masterchef 2017 in the studio, talking about food, watches, what Patek she's got her eyes on. But we also get her to help out with a particularly tricky watch matchmaker, courtesy of Brian. You see Brian wants a smaller, white dialled watch that can do it all. And by golly Felix and Andy deliver on that brief.

Dan is a watch fan who has it all. And by all we mean not one, but two Rolex Submariners: a birth year and a solid yellow gold number. So what's the problem? Well, he still loves watches but has nothing at the moment that can compete for wrist time with his Subs.

In one of the trickier watchmaking challenges to date, Andy and Felix have been tasked by a mysterious doctor to find a watch for for a young artist with a penchant for the smaller things in life. But after some initial misunderstandings about the meaning of "not bigger than 36mm", they come up with six actually great options, feat. Oris, Nomos, Rado, Bremont, Stowa and a surprise Mido! They also chat new Timex, Breitling and Watches & Wonders.

Andy and Felix get on the phone to James Stacey and Jason Heaton, hosts of The Grey NATO podcast. And, after they calm down and stop fanboying over them, they dive into a wide-ranging discussion of watches, cars, gear and changing philosophical approached to watch ownership and purchasing (it got real folks). So, from what it's like to sit in a $15 million McLaren, to the ideal adventure watch and James' genius watch photography clothing hacks (honestly, this blew Andy's Lecia-loving mind) this is one episode you do not want to miss. On top of that, we get the guys' takes on the most overlooked aspects of an adventure watch, as well as what it's really like to work at Hodinkee. SHOW NOTES: CLICK HERE!

We help Enrique find the perfect pilot's watch. Enrique is learning to fly. So it's our mission to find him a watch to mark this milestone. Andy and Felix suit up, unpack the Right Stuff and bust out some – occasionally odd – pilot's watches. Breitling and Rolex make sense. But Bulgari? And that weird, super expensive Seiko. Odd flex but OK. Show notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes/s1e8 Andy's picks: Bremont H4 Hercules, Steel. Rolex Skydweller, Oystersteel and White Gold, Black Dial.

We chat with IWC's dynamic, design-focused CEO and discover the story behind the IWC Portugieser, as well as all the latest Watches & Wonders releases, including the unusual inspiration for those colourful dials. We also discuss the ongoing legacy of the Big Pilot and why one simply doesn't design an iconic watch. Plus one of our listeners wanted advice on what Portofino she should get. So, we went straight to the top! Show notes: www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes/s1e7

We speak to Patrick Johnson, the man behind the eponymous (and cool) P Johnson Tailors about the Australian take on fine tailoring, creating a global sense of style and why rules about clothes (and watches) aren't always the best idea. And then there's yellow gold Aquanauts and why the Italians have the best taste in watches. www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes/s1e6 SHOW NOTES: Sneaker Shopping with Complex Neon Talk on Instagram Concept Talk on Instagram P.

Brad lives on a horse farm in the woods of rural England. Honestly, this is all he needed to say to get Andy and Felix onboard. The fact that he also wants a 'true' GMT for 4000 GBP or less is the cherry on the cake. Turns out great options, including Grand Seiko, Bremont and Omega abound. Plus the perfect cup of coffee.

In a shocking move, Rolex, Patek Philippe, Chopard and Chanel have just announced they are leaving Baselworld. Baselworld pushes back. It's messy and potentially fatal for the embattled watch fair. But what does it mean for the watch industry? Show notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes/s1e4

We pick up the phone and chat to Chris Alexander, a professionally trained artist who stumbled into the world of custom watches. Plus a healthy dose of bling and one of the watch internet's living treasures. Oh, and Gene bought a watch – you'll never guess what.

This week we talk about the watch industry shutting down, Dustin Martin getting in bed with Kennedy, a green Safari, a digital watch worth as much as a car and what to do After Hours.

In this first episode of OT: The Podcast, meet hosts Andy Green and Felix Scholz, find out what the pod is about (watches basically), and why it took them so long to get it off the ground. The major topic is -- of course -- how COVID-19 has impacted the watch business. But we also find time to chat about bikies and the Baha Men, as well as help Alrick find a daily diver.
