OT: The Podcast

This week, Andy sits down with IWC CEO (and OT: regular) Chris Grainger to chat about what IWC is up to in 2025. From in-depth discussion of the latest novelties and the rationale behind IWC's Hollywood placement strategy, this is a chat that you don't want to miss. We even find out how Brad Pitt's custom Ingenieur ended up becoming a reality. Before that, Felix and Andy chat about buried treasure, celebrity cats and Cartier's fresh new Melbourne look.  This week's episode is sponsored by IWC.

In what we promise is our last formal ‘Watches & Wonders 2025' episode, we cover some of the big players that needed some more chat, namely Rolex and Tudor — as well as a bit more love for Cartier's Tank à Guichets. Andy runs through his picks of Rolex (including his only gripe with the Land-Dweller), and Felix opts for a surprise favourite from Tudor. Oh, and a little bit of macroeconomic tariff chat.

For many of us, Fred Savage was an important part of our formative years, thanks to his roles in The Wonder Years and The Princess Bride. He's also an established director and producer, but for watch enthusiasts, he's famous for another on-screen role — Hodinkee's Talking Watches, in which he appeared in 2018. We caught up with Savage to see what he's been up to since, and it turns out — quite a lot. We caught up with Savage to see what he's been up to since, and it turns out — quite a lot. He has started Timepiece Grading Specialists, a business that promises to empower collectors, sellers, and buyers to navigate the world of vintage and pre-owned watches with confidence. Fred tells us all about the service and why he believes it's important, but before that, Andy and Felix talk about some of the more surprising Cartier releases they saw in Geneva.  Find out more about Cartier's 2025 collection at cartier.com 2:12 Small Cartier Santos 3:06 Santos-Dumont trio 5:33 Monochromatic Tank LC models 7:48 That Hermès horse watch still rocks 8:08 Rolex GMT-Master II ‘Tiger Iron', AKA ‘The Gina' 10:44 Fred Savage main interview 12:20 Thad Castle on Hockey 16:00 Fred Savage on Talking Watches Timepiece Grading Specialists  Timepiece Grading Specialists on Instagram 1:03:00 Sueño in Dayton Ohio 13:49 Cartier Tressage Show Notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes OT: Discord - https://discord.com/invite/X3Vvc9z7aV   How to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/ot.podcast https://www.facebook.com/otpodcastau https://instagram.com/andygreenlive https://instagram.com/fkscholz Send us an email: otthepodcast@gmail.com If you liked our podcast - please remember to like/share and subscribe.

Recorded on (almost) the last day of Watches & Wonders, Andy and Felix brave fatigue to discuss the overall mood and vibe of the fair, as well as dig into some specific highlights and surprise releases, from a technical Rolex to a cheeky Hermès. Plus, a timely reminder that it's not about the watches but rather the friends we made along the way.  Find out more about Cartier's 2025 collection at cartier.com 1:12 Cartier Tank LC 9:16 The Rolex Land-Dweller 11:41 Cheryl on the new Rolex at Revolution 14:14 Zenith G.F.J. 15:00 Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso on Milanese bracelet 15:50 TAG Heuer beads of rice bracelet 17:57 Tudor Black Bay 68 18:15 IWC Pilot's Chronograph APXGP 19:06 Tudor Pelagos Ultra 21:19 Hermès Arceau Rocabar de Rire 22:30 Cartier Tank à Guichets 22:40 Parmigiani Fleurier 23:30 Baume & Mercier Clifton 24:24 Nomos Club Sport neomatik Worldtimer 28:30 Grand Seiko SLGB003 UFA 30:40 TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph  Show Notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes OT: Discord - https://discord.com/invite/X3Vvc9z7aV How to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/ot.podcast https://www.facebook.com/otpodcastau https://instagram.com/andygreenlive https://instagram.com/fkscholz Send us an email: otthepodcast@gmail.com If you liked our podcast - please remember to like/share and subscribe.

There's a handful of brands that people clamour to see as soon as the curtain is lifted on Watches & Wonders, and Cartier is most definitely one of those brands. We recorded this episode inside the Cartier booth on the first day of the fair after getting up close and personal with all the key releases. We talk about all the major releases, including the outstanding Cartier Privé Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets, the new, larger Tank LC, the dazzling new takes on the Cartier Panthère, as well as other jewellery pieces like the Tressage and the Panthère Bangle. Not to spoil things, but 2025 is a good year for Cartier.  Find out more about Cartier's 2025 collection at cartier.com 2:35 Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets  07:12 Cartier Tank LC 9:48 Panthère de Cartier 12:10 Panthère Bangle 13:49 Cartier Tressage Show Notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes OT: Discord - https://discord.com/invite/X3Vvc9z7aV How to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/ot.podcast https://www.facebook.com/otpodcastau https://instagram.com/andygreenlive https://instagram.com/fkscholz   Send us an email: otthepodcast@gmail.com If you liked our podcast - please remember to like/share and subscribe.

Yes, we had to do it. Hopped up on rumour and speculation, Andy and Felix dive into the exciting world of baseless watch predictions and shamelessly speculate on what Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier and their pals are going to unveil in Geneva in just a few day's time. On top of that, we ponder the meta trends that we're going to see emerge in the industry, including "less value for the same money" and "more restraint with flashes of insanity".

Everyone's favourite Chicago-based watch newsletter publisher is back for his second (or third?) chat with OT:, and as is now customary, we've caught at something of an interstitial moment. Traina left Hodinkee late last year and has dived head first into his newsletter, Unpolished (née Rescapement). We talk to Tony about the premise and pitch of his newsletter and (inevitably) the state of watch media in 2025. We also talk about industry pet peeves, press trip weirdness and why glazing billionaires is never a good idea.

Arken Watch Company was born (like so many creative projects), in the middle of a lockdown. Kenneth Lam, always interested in modding Seiko's and the like, decided to design his own watch. The result was the Arken Instrumentum, a limited release followed a few years later by the clever travel timer that is the Alterum. Arken aims to create genre-free titanium tool watches with unique and practical functions — and it's safe to say the young brand is delivering on that mission. We talked to Ken about the future of the brand, how to engage with the community and preferred emoji use.   Andy's take on the Time Piece Gentleman (2:40) Interview with Kenneth Lam (10:07) Arken Watch Company Arken on Instagram The GP Chronohawk Greggs   Show Notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes OT: Discord - https://discord.com/invite/X3Vvc9z7aV   How to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/ot.podcast https://www.facebook.com/otpodcastau https://instagram.com/andygreenlive https://instagram.com/fkscholz   Send us an email: otthepodcast@gmail.com If you liked our podcast - please remember to like/share and subscribe.

This week, we've got the final file from Felix's Hong Kong adventure, and we've undoubtedly saved the best til last. Zoë Abelson, better known on Instagram as @watchgirloffduty has built a life and a career hunting down rare timepieces. These days that business has coalesced into Graal Watch, which makes her the perfect person to find that obscure reference. We chat with Zoë about the pros and cons of hunting other people's grails and explore the ambiguities implicit in the watch dealers' role as tastemakers, as well as what those tastes are looking like today: pro tip — smaller watches are where it's at. Before all that, Andy and Felix tackle the thorny issue of giving Andy's dad a watch. Let us know in the comments what you think that watch was.  Interview with Zoe Abelson (11:56) Graal Watch Zoe Abelson on Instagram Zoë Abelson at HF.10's ‘Whose Birkin is it Anyway' panel Like watches?

Today's guest is Fiona Krüger, a fine artist and watch designer who's independent in the truest sense of the word. Perhaps best known for her timepieces shaped like skulls and defined by fractures and imperfection, Krüger is a watchmaker who finds her own path. Felix caught up with Krüger in Hong Kong as part of Horology Forum 10, where they chatted about design integrity, the tricky nature of luxury and why it isn't always the best idea to have a business plan when starting out. They also chat about the Face of Tasaki, a watch Fiona Krüger has made with a Japanese pearl manufacturer and one of the coolest releases of the last year. Before that, Andy and Felix gaze into Ariel Adams' crystal ball and speculate about what 2025 will look like for the watch industry.  The Watch Vault (not a sponsor) Ariel Adams Five Predictions for the Watch Industry Fiona Kruger Fiona Krüger on Instagram The Face of Tasaki Like watches?

Bremont CEO Davide Cerrato has been in the role for a little over a year at this point, and it's safe to say that 2024 has been a rollercoaster. The brand, rooted in British identity and aviation, unveiled a brand new collection, logo and strategy at its Watches & Wonders debut and has, in the months since, been experiencing the ups and downs of public opinion. We caught up with Davide a few weeks before Christmas and found the irrepressible anglophile reflective about the year that was for Bremont, but more than that, excited about what the future holds.  This episode has been sponsored by Bremont.

In the second instalment of the Hong Kong Horology Forum files, Felix chats with Atelier Wen co-founder Robin Tallendier about the rich history of Chinese watchmaking and what the future of the industry in China looks like. From the sheer number of watchmaking students attending Chinese schools and the depth of artisanal crafts in the country, Tallendier hopes that within a generation, Chinese watchmaking will be far more respected and recognised. On top of that, Andy and Felix chatted about some of their favourite releases this year and dived into the details of Grand Seiko's design.

When Felix was in Hong Kong for Dubai Watch Week's HF.10 he caught up with one OT:'s OG guests, Carson Chan. Carson is a legend in the watch community, a passionate collector and advocate who educates watch lovers around the world through the Watch Professor Academy. Felix chatted to Carson about some significant Asian watchmakers you may not have heard of and where the region is at. Before that, Andy and Felix reflect on the Patek Philippe Cubitus — what it's like on the wrist and if it deserves the hype.    This week's episode is Sponsored by Kennedy, official Grand Seiko retailer, and Felix and Andy chat about the incredible technology that is Spring Drive.

This week, we sit down with the man at the helm of one of the most interesting and exciting Swiss watch brands: Parmigiani Fleurier CEO Guido Terreni. Terrini stepped into the leadership role in 2020, a turbulent time for any brand, and since then has rapidly injected energy and excitement into one of the most credible brands born in the 1990s. We chat about Terreni's strategy and the opportunities that the excitement around the Tonda and the Toric provides. We also touch on what it's like to have the King of England send his watch in for service and why a Parmigiani Fleurier boutique on Macchu Picchu isn't out of the question.  Before that, Andy and Felix talk GPHG, the unusual launch of the Universal Geneve Polerouter and Tony Traina 2.0.  Show Notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes Tony's new newsletter, Unpolished (4:41) The Universal Geneve Polerouter relaunch (and Felix's well-timed article) (7:03) The Polerouter Reference Website (8:53) The GPHG winners (11:39) Guido Terreni, Parmigiani Fleurier interview (17:40) Parmigiani Fleurier Parmigiani Fleurier on Instagram Like watches?

Today, we sit down with Mike France, co-founder and CEO of Christopher Ward, the UK-based direct-to-consumer brand that has (you may be shocked to learn) been around since 2004.   We chat to Mike about the early days of the brand and how they evolved from a design-led microbrand into the fully-fledged brand they are today, with in-house watchmaking expertise that rivals that of the Swiss.    Of course, it doesn't take long for the conversation to veer to their incredible breakout hit, the Bel Canto. Mike tells us how the innovative chiming watch was an unexpected byproduct of COVID-induced working conditions and how the smash-hit watch has changed their business.   We also talk about the brand new release, the Bel Canto Classic. But before that, Felix debriefs on his jaunt to Hong Kong for Dubai Watch Week's Horology Forum 10.  Felix reports on HF.10 in Hong Kong Tim Mosso at Horology Forum Christopher Ward Watches The Bel Canto Classic on Andy's IG Frank Skinner's poetry podcast Like watches?

We thought we knew what we were getting into when we asked Marc Montagne, author of 'Invest in Watches: The Art of Watch Collecting' onto the pod. We prepared questions around market motility, hot models and the ethics of flipping, but it quickly became apparent that it wasn't going to be that kind of interview. Marc, a watch industry professional, wasn't interested in buying and selling to make a quick buck — he was in it for the long haul. Marc is more interested in investing in quality and the style of watch that works for you. It might not be the textbook definition of investment, but we respect the hell out of the approach. Before chatting with Marc, Felix and Andy ponder what Hodinkee's acquisition by Watches of Switzerland means for the industry (and how much it sold for).

This week's guest is James Kennedy, the Managing Director and CEO of Kennedy Watches & Jewellery, one of Australia's leading luxury retailers. We chat with James about what it's like to be an Authorised Dealer for some of the world's most prestigious and desirable watch brands/ James shares (in detail) about how he turned a small family business into an Australia-wide business and the lessons he's learned along the way. We discuss the booming popularity of watches over the last 15 years, and what his thoughts are on the future of luxury, including the perennially thorny questions of allocation and investment, as well as the state of the Australian market more broadly. You don't have to have walked through the doors of a Kennedy boutique for James' insights into the industry to resonate, this is an insightful discussion for anyone interested in the business of watches.

One of OT:'s very favourite people is Chris Hall, the guy behind The Fourth Wheel Substack — which bills itself as an honest, opinionated and informative insight into watches and the business around them. Given that every week or so we're Chris' newsletter on the pod, we thought it was high time to get him back on and talk about his approach to reporting on watches and what his plans are for the Substack in the months ahead.

  In this episode, we chat with the man behind one of 2024's most-discussed watch brands, Anoma. Matteo Violet-Vianello developed his love of free-form vintage watch aesthetics while working at A Collected Man, and decided he wanted to create his own watch. Despite having no formal design training, Anoma's debut watch, the A1, is an assured and sophisticated design that tackles the seldom-seen triangular case. Matteo explains his design choices, the production process and the philosophical underpinnings of this exciting new brand.

Today's guest is Arthur Touchot, an incredibly knowledgable (and unfailingly charming) individual who's worked at watch titles like Hodinkee and others before ending up in Phillips Watch Department as Head of Digital Strategy and Watch Specialist.

  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.

Andy is still time travelling back to Watches & Wonders with IWC, and this week, he's chatting to the charming Lorenz Brunner, who talks about the brand's most important innovations, as well as the importance of ‘silent' innovation. Before that, Felix and Andy chatted about IWC's involvement in an exciting new F1 film, the 2024 edition of the Richemont shuffle, and why Nickelback deserves rehabilitation.  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. From the ongoing evolution of the Portugieser to the future of the brand's partnership with Mercedes and even the very nature of time itself. Before the headline act, Felix and Andy chat about some of the interesting developments in the world of watches, including Bernard Arnault's investment in Richemont and LVMH's acquisition of L'Epee.

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?

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.

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.

In this episode, we've got Andy's Watches & Wonders chat with Pierre Rainero, Cartier's Image, Style and Heritage Director. In addition to talking about some of the new releases like the Tortue and the Santos Dumont Rewind, Andy and Pierre chat about how Cartier's design sensibility has evolved over time and the importance of the Maison's jewellery perspective when it comes to creating shapes that work when worn on the body, as well as how the brand manages to infuse magic into what it does.

The OT: team has been re-united in Melbourne, but there are still plenty of Watches & Wonders to discuss! Andy and Felix chat about the latest releases from Rolex, Tudor (Andy thinks the pink chronograph works) and Patek Philippe (Felix has an unconventional favourite). Finally, they dig into the biggest topic of the fair, Bremont's new look and new Terra Nova collection. Plus, they also muse about the possibilities of a WWG x WWE crossover event for 2025.

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 ). We even delve into the finer details of jewellery watches, like the Reflection de Cartier and the numerous animal-inspired pieces.

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.

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.  Show Notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes OT: Discord - https://discord.com/invite/X3Vvc9z7aV   How to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/ot.podcast https://www.facebook.com/otpodcastau https://instagram.com/andygreenlive https://instagram.com/fkscholz Send us an email: otthepodcast@gmail.com If you liked our podcast - please remember to like/share and subscribe.

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.

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!

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.

This week, Andy flies solo, chatting to Verne Ho, the man behind Watch Studies, which bills itself as the only dedicated tool and resource for watch photography, helping watch lovers to tell better stories about the watches they love. Verne is an experienced photographer and creative director, and we find out how he's gone from watch-adjacent to full-blown nerd.

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. Before that, please enjoy some light banter about holiday plans and the joys of British crime dramas. Want to talk about fantastic field watches? Join our Discord.

In the last episode of 2023, Andy and Felix — full of festive cheer — look back on the highs and lows of 2023. From the biggest surprise of the year to the trend they wish would go away and the watch they'd actually spend their own hard-earned cash on, Felix and Andy mostly agree on the year that was, and in the end, they rated 2023 a solid 6.5ish out of 10.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Happy mid-November, everyone! We're slowly winding our way towards the end of the year, so we thought we'd check in and catch up with all the happenings and drama in the world of horology.

Worn & Wound has always had a clear point of difference from other watch websites, and Senior Editor Zach Kazan is one of the team who's making sure that Worn & Wound maintains a strong editorial voice.

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.

We've finally made it, the big two zero zero. To celebrate, Andy and Felix ate some face cake off mic and then got down to the serious business of watch news. 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.
