The Omega Speedmaster doesn't realy just describe one watch. The name Speedmaster describes an entire array of watches built over the last 62 years, and appreciated for their strong value-oriented approach to highly technical timekeeping, while, again, surviving the rigors of space flight time and time again. It takes a sharp eye to be able to spot differences from one model to the next, but Cameron and Matt do their best to cover all the crucial versions. This episode is available as a video!

Each watch is made to order and totally one-of-a-kind, so the customer can literally go online and configure their own unique watch.

When watchmaking is about more than simply telling time as accurately as possible, it becomes about pushing the boundaries of art and engineering. Inspired by the non-traditional watch faces of Urwerk, Keral Bachand took his engineering expertise to the next level: reverse engineering and building a working Urwerk 202 in his college dorm room. Inspired by his own (re) creation and the reaction from Urwerk themselves, Keral started his own watch company, Barrelhand Watches, using non-traditional time telling and cutting-edge production methods. At only 24, and with no official watchmaking training, he is about to launch his first watch, the Project 1. Learn more about Barrelhand at: http://www.barrelhand.com/This episode is available as video!

In this episode, our most requested topic ever, we invite Mark Almeras from the AverageBros YouTube channel in to talk about modifying Seiko watches. The Seiko is like the LS engine of watches: good bones, reliabile and durable, but not always pretty out of the box, and with some obvious cost cutting in terms of some of the parts, the straps, bezels, etc. Fortunately, Seiko's have a huge aftermarket, not to mention lots of special edition, higher end models from Japan, and a lot of the parts are interchangeable! Whether you choose to modify the watch at home yourself, or take it to a watchmaker, Mark, Cameron and Matt explore some of the different ways you can modify a Seiko to get not only a unique look, but also the feeling on your wrist of a watch that's much more expensive and high quality than what comes out of the box. Subscribe to Average Bros on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCim9rg9D4s2zLdtyeo1W6bgThis episode is available as a video!

In this episode, Matt and Cameron explore co-branding in the watchmaking world. With Co-Branding, a watchmaker will release a special eidition of a watch designed to align with the needs or style of a branding partner or retailer. The COMEX Sea-Dweller and Tiffany Dial Submariner are among the most famous, but we find some rather obscure co-brands, as well as discuss when functionality is integrated into the special edition, and what it takes to make special editions in small volume, from Weiss's own experience. Get the video here: https://youtu.be/Cfuyq93hYJQUse code CAM150 for $150 off your first watch at Crown & Caliber!http://www.crownandcaliber.comUse code CHRONO for 15% off your entire order from Bee Line Coffee!http://www.beelinecoffee.com

 In this episode, Cameron and Matt, joined again by Chef and Rolex expert Carl Ruiz, explore the history and watches of the most valuable and iconic brand in watchmaking history: Rolex. Rolex doesn't make the most technologically advanced watches, or the most complicated watches, and they haven't been around as long as many of the other manufacturers, but they are the most iconic watch brand on the planet, recognizeable the world over for their timeless designs, underwater capabilities, and overall quality. This episode is available as downloadable audio!

Breitling has always been a brand associated wth aviation; pioneering the Pilot's watch far beyond a simple "large dial with clear numbers format. " Anyone who's ever watched an air show, or a Red Bull Air Race event, will have seen Breitling's racing planes taking home wins. Since 1884, Breitling has been obsessed with moving forward the art of precision chronometry, function, and, more recently, safety, with their innovative "Emergency" series of locator beacon-equipped wrist watches. Breitling has shown some innovative technologies, interesting designs, and passion for extreme human activities, which makes their story very interesting. This episode is available as a video!

Moser, RGM, MB&F, Vianney Halter, Habring, and more in this episode. This episode is available as a video!

For the first (second) episode of the NoBraking podcast, Kyle and James sit down with Nic Cuarta from Bee Line Coffee and Austin Cabot from Gridlife and Speed Ventures to geek out over performance driving, coffee, motorcycles and not having real jobs, except James who has a real job (like a sucker).

Watchmaker Cameron Weiss, of Weiss Watch Company, comes by to explain how he built his Mercedes 4x4, why he loves driving his 1959 Beetle, and everything you want to know about watches: how they were made last century, how they make them now, wy some cost as much as a house, and what you should buy if you have $50, or $500,000. It's an incredible kind of engineering that parallels the car world clearly.  Sitting in with us again is Nic Cuarta, of Bee Line Coffee.
