Join us in our latest episode as we talk to creative watch visionary, formerly of Audemars Piguet, Thibaut GUITTARD, the founder of ALTO Watches. Hear about how this young French, risk-taking entrepreneur has taken the watch world by storm with his uniquely designed ALTO ART 01. We find out why his inspirations were wedge shaped sports cars from the 1970s such as the Aston Martin Bulldog and Maserati Boomerang, art, Christopher Nolan movies and electronic music sensations Daft Punk. We also get to hear all about ALTO's latest releases called the ART01 Monochrome Black and Monochrome Grey adding to the original, and how the idea for a collection was inspired by a very special member on the ALTO team, former Cartier Senior Watch Designer Raphaël Abeillon, who is now the creative director. We also get to predict a few trends in the industry that we could be seeing in the upcoming future. So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we give you another special guest on your favourite watch-related podcast.

Today, on Fratello Talks, we're discussing Audemars Piguet. The brand is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2025 and has kicked things off by introducing a selection of new models earlier this week. Lex was in Le Brassus to report on the novelties, and Nacho and RJ now join him for this week's discussion. They begin by looking at said novelties and wrap things up by sharing their thoughts on the brand's current direction and whether they've felt the influence of recently appointed CEO Ilaria Resta yet.
As the last few weeks' episodes have been very structured and premeditated, we decided to make today a free-for-all. Today, we discuss all of the things on our minds, and prove to the world that we are not as sane and rational as some might think!

Some watches captivate us with their craftsmanship, heritage, and design—but for one reason or another, they remain just out of reach. In this episode, Tim and Armand discuss timepieces from Breguet, Audemars Piguet, and Jaeger-LeCoultre that they deeply admire yet couldn't bring themselves to buy. Whether due to sizing, legibility, or even price, these watches left a lasting impression despite not making it into their collections.

Send us a textVacheron Constantin is extremely highly regarded among luxury watch enthusiasts, and for good reason. Not only are they the oldest continuously operating watch brand in the world, but they're also the makers of the most complicated (and second-most complicated) watch ever made. Regarded as part of the "Holy Trinity" along with Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin's dressy watches are among the best out there. But from a sales/hype perspective, watch fans want to see steel sports watches--and the Overseas was Vacheron's only offering in that department until now. For 2025, Vacheron Constantin unleashed a stainless steel version of their beloved 222 model, ref. 4200H/222A-B934.

Send us a textAside from the Tank, the Santos is arguably Cartier's most recognizable watch. It features many of the brand's most enduring design codes, such as a square-shaped case with gently rounded corners and screws dotting the bezel. Dating back to the early 1900s, the Santos is also one of Cartier's longest-produced collections and is often regarded as the first men's wristwatch. It debuted during an era when pocket watches were the go-to timekeeping devices for gentlemen. It's an important model, not just for Cartier but for watchmaking as a whole.

Pedro Costa and his company, Costa Design, are redefining watch artistry in a way no one else in the industry is. He's not just crafting timepieces—he's bringing them to life as jaw-dropping, larger-than-life sculptures. What started as handcrafted coffee tables shaped like oversized (and often fully functional) Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe watches has now expanded into stunning lamps and even more incredible designs. In this episode, Pedro shares the journey behind his one-of-a-kind creations, the intricate process of building these sculptures, and what exciting projects he has in store for the future. If you love watches, art, or just groundbreaking creativity, you won't want to miss this conversation!

Send us a textThe Rolex Day-Date is nicknamed the "President" not only because that's the official name of its iconic three-link precious metal bracelet but because it has been worn by US Presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump. Countless other world leaders, ranging from Fidel Castro to the Dalai Lama, have worn Day-Dates as well. As he begins his second term in the Oval Office, we'll take a look at the specific model of Rolex Day-Date Donald Trump has been spotted wearing. We'll also show you the Day-Date 40 he was gifted by a popular livestreamer. Listen in for our quick rundown of Donald Trump's Rolex watches.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Do you want to work with us on a timepiece? email us support@chriswarnes.com Did you know the Royal Oak Offshore 25721ST was the FIRST of its kind? Released in 1993, it sparked controversy with its bold design, outrageous size, and groundbreaking materials. At 42mm in diameter and nearly 400g, this "wrist anchor" defied all norms of its time, where men's watches averaged just 36mm! Nicknamed "The Beast," the 25721 was born to rejuvenate the Royal Oak collection and meet the German market's demand for an "Offshore spirit." With only 10,896 pieces made over 20 years, it's a legit piece of Audemars Piguet history! Rare Facts & Fun Details:✨ The first 100 steel models didn't even have the "Offshore" engraving due to trademark precautions.✨ Available in 8 materials—mainly steel (7,000+ pieces), with ultra-rare variants in platinum (10), white gold (21), and blackened steel (just 1!).✨ Outrageous yet iconic, the 25721 paved the way for the legendary Offshore series we know today!
Send us a textWith all the hysteria around the Patek Philippe Cubitus (good and bad), we thought now would be a good time to have a look at some other square watches. While round designs dominate watchmaking, the appeal of a square watch lies in its bold geometry and distinctive character. Square timepieces, like the Cartier Santos or TAG Heuer Monaco, offer exciting alternatives to more traditional round cases. So, if you're on board with being square and need to look at something else other than the Cubitus, let's get a closer look at some top square watches.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!
