Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we discuss sleeper watches from the '90s and '00s. It was an interesting period for timepieces, representing a transition from smaller, often quartz-powered models to mechanical ones. Let's just say that watchmakers were finding their collective feet again with interesting results. Still, there were gems, and we mention a handful.While Balazs was still a wee lad, Mike was checking out watch shops during the '90s and beginning to spend some of his hard-earned wages by the early '00s. One of the sleeper watches mentioned during this episode even found its way into his collection during that period. But there are plenty of other great pieces to consider. Some are already well known and often discussed, while some of our picks barely get a mention. Enjoy the show!HandgelenkskontrolleWe launch our show with a chat about recent events. Mike has returned from a largely stress-free trip to Germany. Of course, England's punishing loss to Argentina in the World Cup semifinal makes an appearance. Ugh. Regarding the big screen, The Odyssey looks like a potential must-see. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs has joined the fray with his Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm. This is the original version that Mike reviewed way back in 2018. Compared to today's model, it uses an ETA 2801-2 with a 50-hour power reserve instead of the current Powermatic 80-derived caliber, meaning that it ticks with a higher frequency.Mike, after wearing his 36mm Hamilton all week, has chosen a relatively similar watch for this episode. The old Seiko 5 7S26-02J0, otherwise known as the SNK805, is out in preparation for an article about it. When new, this piece was available on sites like Amazon for €40–80 and now commands prices of €150–250. While we miss the old days, we can't help but believe that this is still decent value for a relatively bulletproof, if not overly accurate, and timeless watch.Sleeper watches from the '90s and '00sFor our main topic, we return to a dubious period in watchmaking. The '90s and '00s were a great time, but when it came to watches, the results were all over the shop. Bubbly, crude, and forgettable designs were the norm. However, there were certainly standouts. The large brands, like Rolex, Patek, and JLC, largely stuck with tradition and made some beauties, but we're not here to discuss those. We're discussing some of our favorites from other marques, large and small. As mentioned, some of these pieces are popular, so perhaps they don't fall under the term "sleeper." Still, we think they deserve even more love. We start off our discussion with the Porsche Design by IWC ref. 3702. With its flush-mounted pushers, this watch looks as clean and modern today as it did in the '80s and '90s.In fact, this isn't the only mention of IWC during this episode. The entire catalog of IWC releases, including the Porsche Design watches, during this era was incredible. References included the Mark XII, the Ingenieur 3521, and more. These watches were focused, over-engineered, and beautifully built. A special nod goes to the Aquatimer 3536-2000, another watch that looks incredible now. The Ikepod Megapode Chronograph GMT, designed by Marc Newson, is another model that we love. Friend of the show Eric Wind from Wind Vintage has a special love for these!The Hamilton 9379 chronographs represent an odd period for the Swiss-American brand. These Valjoux 7750-equipped models wear beautifully and are delightfully inexpensive. Plus, there are many variants to choose from, which means there's something for everyone. For our next sleeper pick, some of us may remember when Omega attempted to lure younger, budget-conscious buyers with the Dynamic Chronograph. Reference 5240.5000 had strong military vibes with Breguet-esque numerals and massive pump pushers. These pieces used an ETA base with a Dubois Dépraz module. Today, these 38mm watches are still inexpensive but offer a great wearing experience. For an even more pared-back style, the field watch 5200.5000 is also interesting.For our last in-depth sleeper discussion, we mention the Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk 7100. These lovely divers come in a variety of colors and case materials. Plus, they're still relatively affordable for a piece in decent condition. There's even a GMT version! For our honorable mentions, Balazs discusses the Breitling Aerospace, the Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Memory Time, and the legendary Rolex Oysterquartz 17000.We hope you enjoy today's show. As always, let us know if you have ideas for future episodes!

Il y a 250 ans tout rond, à la fin de l'année 1775, sur le quai de l'Horloge, dans l'Ile de la Cité, s'installait un jeune horloger suisse appelé à devenir une légende de la profession : Breguet.Découvrez l'incroyable destin d'Abraham-Louis Breguet, l'un des plus grands horlogers de tous les temps.

Episode 44 of the SJX Podcast covers new releases from Grand Seiko, Greubel Forsey, Vacheron Constantin, and Breguet. The common thread that ties these releases together is that each is an incremental update to a previous model. Grand Seiko's updates to the Evolution 9 collection are perhaps most notable simply due to the brand's larger scale, and for what this refresh indicates about how the brand is listening to collector feedback. We also shares our condolences with the Stern family over the passing of Philippe Stern, and discuss his towering legacy.Show notes:00:30: Philippe Stern's legacy06:00: Grand Seiko Evolution 9 refresh (new bracelets and UFA movements)09:30: Greubel Forsey Balancier QM12:50: Vacheron Constantin Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar15:00: Breguet Tourbillon 225th Anniversary16:00: Chanel Chessboard Hosted on Acast.

Roy Davidoff has spent a life keeping up with the time. Born into a family of jewelers and a youth spent in Geneva, followed by a move to Miami, watches have been a constant throughout his professional career.  A return to Switzerland saw stints at brands including Bovet and Jacob & Co., before becoming a dealer of vintage and pre-owned with his brother and the launch of their business  - Roy & Sacha Davidoff SA - more than a decade ago. The fraternal duo gained prominence as dealers and experts regarding the Omega Speedmaster - a specialized section of the vintage market that has most certainly had its ups and downs. A respected name and authority in the industry, Davidoff most recently served as a jury member for The Cartier Prize For Watchmaking Talents of Tomorrow, where, alongside fellow judges including Kari Voutilainen, were tasked with making selections for creations from European watchmaking students who were chosen for their technical and artistic interpretations reconsidering different ways to tell time. Davidoff's role as a dealer and collector demands deep knowledge and constantly taking the pulse of the secondary market, shifting tastes, and changing demands. At the high-end and elite level, the market has changed, Davidoff says, as many collectors seek assurance and certainty in modern, independent brands and watchmakers. He's candid, enthusiastic, and dedicated to the Swiss industry, where he's found a place among the brands, component makers, and collectors.

On the 225th anniversary of the tourbillon patent, we sit down with Breguet CEO Gregory Kissling. Before taking the helm at Breguet on October 1st, 2024, Kissling served as Vice President of Product at Omega. Having known him for many years and collaborated on memorable projects such as the Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday editions of 2017 and 2018, we were especially excited to see him take on the role of CEO at Breguet. In this episode of Fratello Talks, Kissling walks us through the newest Breguet Tradition Tourbillon 7047, reflects on the company's remarkable history, and shares his vision for its future.

One of 6 partners in a true horological supergroup, we are thrilled to welcome Emmanuel Jutier as he joins us on Keeping Time Podcast.  Artime Créations was founded approx 20 years ago with some of the most talented individuals in the industry. The background of the members includes Renaud et Papi (Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille etc), Gruebel & Forsey, Breguet, Philippe Dufour, FP Journe, Minerva and Tag Heuer. The depth of knowledge within this collective is unequaled in watchmaking. The company continues today as an important supplier. However, this group of talented creators decided to also create their own brand, ARTIME. Released just a couple of years ago, Artime showed their first watch, ART01, a remarkable Tourbillon with a unique, patented approach to suspending the open-worked movement within the case, no base-plate per se. This year in Geneve, the brand caught the attention of Jeremy and Melissa (Oster Jewelers) with the remarkable and stunningly beautiful ART02. Oster Jewelers is proud to be one of a handful of retailers worldwide selected to represent Artime.  Listen in as we learn and discover what makes this assembly of talent unprecedented. We discuss the partners and the incredible knowledge and history that is carried forward to the Artime brand. We discuss the philosophical approach that is evident with the first 2 creations. We also go in-depth into the details, construction and level of technical sophistication combined with traditional finishing at the highest level that is clearly evident with every rare and special piece created in the Artime workshops.  As always we hope you enjoy this captivating conversation and, if not already familiar with ARTIME, that you enjoy discovering a true gem at the very highest level of the watchmaking world. Thank you, as always, for downloading and listening to Keeping Time Podcast. The ultimate compliment is if you would share Keeping Time with your friends and, of course, if you could take a moment to post a favorable review on your chosen podcast platform.

As watch enthusiasts, we often find ourselves in heated debates over the merits of various timepieces. In this episode of the Lume Plotters podcast, we dive into issues within the Swatch group… tiered manufacturing, crazy pricing, and unclear visions.

The Swiss watch industry is in one of its most difficult periods in decades, with ten established brands down 15% or more in revenue — but that doesn't mean everything is struggling. In this episode, Gabe and Asher explore three segments of the market that are thriving against the tide: independent watchmakers, microbrands brands, and neo-vintage. Along the way, they examine why brands like Breguet, Roger Dubuis, and Girard-Perregaux may have upside despite their current numbers, while others like Blancpain and Panerai remain stuck. The conversation also teases an exciting new brand partnership launching on Collective Horology's website. Independent watchmakers are winning on the back of creativity, risk-taking, and a business structure that resists commoditization. Using MB&F's Google Trends data and Czapek's shareholder financials as case studies, Gabe and Asher unpack why these brands are gaining both mind share and revenue — and why their tight retail ecosystems protect the value proposition that mass-market brands have lost. They also coin a new term for the sub-$5,000 segment: "challenger brands," a category that encompasses microbrands and independents alike, from Christopher Ward and Fears to Studio Underdog and Brew. These brands are eroding the traditional luxury moat, aided by a media landscape shift that rewards authenticity over gatekeeping. The final winner in a down market is neo-vintage — watches from the 1990s and early 2000s that offer smaller proportions, better wearability, and tremendous value relative to their modern counterparts. Gabe highlights rising prices on references like the Rolex 14060, 16710, and 14270, noting the uptick predates tariffs and reflects a genuine shift in collector taste, particularly among Gen Z buyers. Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, and IWC are standouts in this space, with neo-vintage pieces that feel more relevant to today's preferences than what those same brands currently produce. It's a trend the hosts believe will only accelerate — and one that established brands ignore at their own risk. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel is once again holding down the host chair while Rick continues his mysterious multi week sabbatical (last we heard he was crossing mountains by donkey, so fingers crossed). Joined by Ripley and David, the team digs into Ariel's latest essay on why luxury watch brands should embrace controlled discounting, unpacking how pricing psychology, gray market realities, and unrealistic investment narratives have distorted modern collecting. The conversation then shifts to Ariel's recent trip to Tokyo, now arguably the world's most exciting city for watch enthusiasts, with deep dives into Japan's booming pre owned scene, Grand Seiko sightings, tax free deals, and how local retailers are reshaping displays to match global demand. From there, things jump wildly upmarket with a breakdown of the Louis Vuitton and De Bethune collaboration and its four million euro Sympathique clock fantasy, before crashing back to earth with tiny G-Shock ring watches, blind box buying culture, and whether gamified collecting is the future or just Pokémon with timekeeping. The episode wraps with thoughts on Breguet's latest Type 20 chronograph, vintage inspired design choices, and why watches should probably go back to being worn instead of treated like speculative assets, all delivered with the usual mix of industry insight and playful cynicism, plus one conspicuously empty chair while Rick continues his mysterious travels.To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the team dives headfirst into the watch media identity crisis sparked by Ariel's recent essay on who actually pays for honest coverage and why everyone seems to want it without footing the bill. The conversation then shifts into the uncomfortable reality of independence, sponsored content, and where the line gets drawn in a very small industry. From there, things take a sharp turn into horology with a deep discussion of a very serious watch that also happens to look suspiciously like Mickey Mouse. Ariel breaks down Breguet's high frequency chronograph history, magnetic escapement technology, and why the brand is simultaneously capable of brilliance and baffling aesthetic decisions.The episode then moves through the not quite LVMH Watch Week releases, including Louis Vuitton's Escale complications explosion, which quickly devolves into an on air world timer geography quiz no one was prepared for. Along the way, TAG Heuer's latest Seafarer revival sparks a spirited debate about tide complications and dog walking use cases, raising the question of whether modern watches sometimes try a little too hard. The group also touches on TAG's ongoing CEO turnover, broader brand direction questions, and why some watch companies appear to be having fun while others absolutely are not.As always, tune into their conversation this week to hear a blend of industry insight, watch nerdery, and exactly the kind of chaos that makes aBlogtoWatch Weekly feel less like a roundtable and more like group therapy with bezels.Check out this week's sponsor - Movado Watches:- https://www.movado.com/ To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin have long been held-up as the "Holy Trinity" of watchmaking; but what does the term actually mean? Tim and Armand take a deep dive into the name including discussing its origins, relevance in 2026, and watch companies themselves. They also touch on if brands like Breguet and A.

Episode 24 of the SJX Podcast covers the surprises and unexpected developments of 2025, a year marked by significant material innovation and bold statements from established brands. In this final episode of the year, SJX and Brandon discuss Rolex's landmark Land-Dweller with its revolutionary Dynapulse escapement, Breguet's experimental magnetic constant-force mechanism that achieved unprecedented precision, and TAG Heuer's industrialization of carbon hairsprings. Vacheron Constantin also surprised with an extraordinary 150 kg astronomical clock created for its 270th anniversary, temporarily displayed at the Louvre alongside a companion wristwatch.Thank you to all our listeners for joining us throughout 2025 - happy new year!Show notes:00:35 - Rolex Land-Dweller and Dynapulse Escapement05:45 - Breguet Expérimentale 1 10:30 - Vacheron Constantin La Quête Du Temps 15:00 - TAG Heuer Carbon Hairspring Industrialisation Hosted on Acast.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the team opens the floodgates on Watch Heritage™, questioning whether celebrating anniversaries still means anything when brands seem more excited about dates than doing something new today. As the conversation unfolds, Rolex, Omega, Tudor, and Breguet all get pulled into a spirited debate about when history becomes inspiration and when it turns into a crutch, with discontinued models, hypothetical anniversaries, and imaginary relaunches doing most of the heavy lifting. From there, things take a sharp turn as Ariel breaks down the Porsche Design Chronograph 1 and why car brand watches somehow feel acceptable when Porsche does it, even if the pricing still makes everyone flinch. The episode then ventures into dangerous territory with the watch website you DARE not visit, as the crew attempts to navigate the mysteriously elusive Peacock Watches site while discussing whether a Chinese tourbillon can actually impress seasoned collectors. Along the way, magnetism, innovation, value, and modern watch enthusiasm collide as everything nearly derails completely when Ripley almost drops an F-bomb over cookies, biscuits, wrappers, and the true meaning of holiday snacks. It's heritage, heresy, horology, and holiday chaos, exactly as intended.To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

Diese Woche dreht sich im UhrTalk alles um Breguet, das Jubiläumsjahr der Marke – und das spürbare Comeback der Dresswatch. Wir sprechen darüber, warum elegante Uhren wieder stärker gefragt sind, welche Zielgruppen diesen Trend treiben und weshalb Breguets Design bis heute stilprägend für die Uhrenwelt ist. Dabei gehen wir gezielt auf ein paar Highlights der Jubiläumskollektion ein. Wir wünschen wie immer gute Unterhaltung!Rocksaumtheorie

This week, we're picking up where we left off in our chat about Value, discussing recent releases from UG and Breguet, 5402 Royal Oaks, and how we perceive value and justify our purchases in general. We then discuss a question from @enthuseddad about how our tastes develop along the collecting journey. 

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the team asks the only question that matters: “Are we Hublot or are we dancer”? What begins as a discussion of Cloud Dancer color palettes quickly becomes a full identity audit for one of the boldest brands in the industry, complete with Rick's Big Bang Convergence Theory making yet another appearance. From winter editions shown in Dubai to snowflake rotors and unexpected design choices, the crew explores why Hublot watches are always equal parts fascination and confusion. The conversation then shifts into true science fair territory as Ripley breaks down the newest Breguet experiment. Magnets, floating components, frictionless escapements, and a price tag that inspires Rick to call it a three-hundred-thousand-pound desk toy all take center stage. Ariel and David weigh in on the technology, the servicing challenges, and whether innovation still matters when the dial is nearly impossible to read. Finally, the group dives into one of the most unintentionally funny watches of the week, which sparks the unforgettable “forget my birthday pocket watch” debate. Between confusing apertures, mismatched layouts, and jump hour windows that practically require a translator, the team reflects on what makes a watch thoughtful versus what makes it feel like a last-minute gift.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley tackleanother full slate of watch talk and industry laughs. The crew opens with thelatest missteps in media watch coverage before getting hands-on with thestriking Zenith Defy Zero-G in blue sapphire. From the return of Las Vegas as ahub for luxury watch events to an engaging look at Breguet's legacy andtechnical mastery, they  explore the craftsmanship behind iconic movementsand the enduring influence of historic innovation on modern watchmaking. Thefour also untangle the age-old mix-up between chronographs and chronometers,proving that while one measures time and the other measures accuracy, confusionbetween the two might just be the most consistent complication in watchcollecting. When Rick reads a YouTube comment claiming that watch collectingisn't a hobby, Ariel fires back with a passionate, red-hot defense that turnswhat started as a casual jab into a full-blown debate about obsession,identity, and why passion for watches is anything but casual. Between specifieddefinitions, rants, and confessions of “it's not an addiction, it's aninterest,” the team finds humor in just how seriously enthusiasts take theirso-called pastime.

With Rashawn away in Vegas, Perri holds it down solo and sits with friend, collector, and independent watch advocate Jon Cruys. They talk about how Breguet first sparked Jon's passion for watches, the way his time living in China reshaped his vision of community, and his latest project Indies NYC—a new platform and trade show designed to connect independent watchmakers with collectors and enthusiasts. It's a deep dive into collecting culture, community-building, and why the indie watch scene matters more than ever.If you're into luxury watches, independent brands, and the stories of collectors who blur the line between design and lifestyle, this episode is for you.Powered by @getbezel Shop 20,000+ watches at getbezel.com, and Download the Bezel app at download.getbezel.comSUBSCRIBE to get the latest Wrist Check Pod content https://www.youtube.com/@SuperNicheStudiosListen & watch WCP on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2phIRMNviHR4x6zoXVOyuk?si=e72a2f57c5624ad4Listen to WCP on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wrist-check-pod/id1594520982Follow us on instagram https://www.instagram.com/wristcheckpod

Rick starts the show by referencing the preceding rant edited out of the produced show. To wit: The live show took on the gazillion emails the guys have been getting about which celebrity wore what watch at the Met Gala. But onto something more important — grammar! Whether you could or couldn't care less, that is the question. Now, down to some actual content. David's latest “Grinding Gears” column is all about the gap between watchmakers and the consumers who don't know what they're looking at. This divide causes some problems, as David explains. Ariel has a lot to say about this, especially regarding value. Next up? Guess the Price of the Seiko! Then, onto a discussion of the Seagull Okeanos release, which also results in a discussion of pricing and tariffs. Ariel asks, “Why are tariffs invading our hobby?” And that is the question of the day. Kevin Roberts joins the foursome to discuss the latest from Doxa, Breguet, and other brands. Tune in to hear the latest.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast 669! Dave and Rikki are back, catching up after a busy Watches and Wonders season. In this episode, they dive into Breguet's 250th anniversary... The post Scottish Watches Podcast #669 : Garrick Go For Gold Plus Breguet Celebrate 250 Years appeared first on Scottish Watches.

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air. This week, we cover the latest news on watches and other subjects. We discuss the 250th Anniversary of Breguet and several other high-end brands.It was a relatively quiet week on the watch front, but there were still releases and news. Breguet released its first anniversary model, and it's worth some words. This leads to our thoughts on other higher-end brands. Also, we discuss Rolex, but not in the way you'd expect.HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off the episode with a discussion about a vintage mesh JB Champion bracelet Mike purchased on eBay. It's a nice accompaniment to a Speedmaster, but the current Forstner is a fantastically accurate reissue. Then we discuss several TV shows, including You, Daredevil, and Dope Thief. Balazs has bought new New Balance sneakers, which leads to a discussion on some of the brand's other releases. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike is wearing a 14K Movado "Ellipse" he recently received from his father. Balazs is also wearing a recently acquired family piece, the Girard-Perregaux Scuderia Ferrari Foudroyante Rattrapante.Breguet, Rolex, and other newsWe talk about Rolex because Balazs is potentially in the market for a new model. The Datejust has become quite expensive, especially with the white gold fluted bezel. This has Balazs considering an Oyster Perpetual with a dark green dial. We'll report back once he visits the local AD's to see if there is a waiting list. Breguet released the Classique Souscription 2025, a 40mm gold watch with an enamel dial and one hand. This spawns a longer discussion about the brand and how we hope great releases are coming during this important year. Blancpain and, ultimately, Vacheron get pulled into the episode as we long for iconic classic dress watches.We hope you enjoyed today's show. As always, if you have future topics, please feel free to let us know.

Que reste-t-il du XVIIIᵉ siècle dans notre monde effréné ? Quelques manuscrits jaunis, des palais érodés par le vent… et quelques merveilles d'horlogerie. Parmi elles, une création toute particulière : la Classique Souscription 2025 de Breguet. À l'occasion de son 250ᵉ anniversaire, la maison fondée en 1775, au cœur du Paris des Lumières, nous offre bien plus qu'une montre : elle nous tend un miroir vers un temps où l'on osait penser que la précision devait rimer avec poésie. Ici, pas de chronomètre au dixième de seconde. Non. Une seule aiguille — d'un bleu façonné à la flamme, comme un clin d'œil discret à l'artisanat d'autrefois. Un cadran d'émail grand feu, éclatant de pureté. Un boîtier en or subtilement patiné, comme un vestige retrouvé dans un coffre oublié. La Classique Souscription ressuscite l'idée née en 1797 : une montre pensée pour être accessible, simple, élégante — dans une époque où Mozart jouait ses dernières partitions et où les salons philosophiques bruissaient de débats enflammés sur la liberté et la raison. Avec cette pièce, Breguet nous rappelle que l'essence du temps ne réside pas dans sa vitesse… mais dans sa densité, dans sa richesse intérieure. Et sous ce cadran immaculé pulse une histoire fascinante : celle d'Abraham-Louis Breguet, inventeur du tourbillon, précurseur du marketing moderne… et, quelque part, poète du temps. Alors aujourd'hui, à travers cette montre, ce n'est pas seulement une mécanique que l'on célèbre. C'est un art de vivre. Un art de penser. Peut-être même un art de ressentir.

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. Join the conversation as they explore what makes a watch desirable, yet not quite the perfect fit.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the guys areall in their respective Brady Bunch-like squares, and speaking of square,SpongeBob SquarePants watches are high horology! This segues quite nicely intoAriel's experience as an attorney specializing in contracts and his articleabout what watch brands need from their owners. In his column, According to Ariel, Ariel discusses why buying a watchbrand isn't about extracting profit but rather thinking about the overall valueof the company — and even the future perceived value. Next up, talk turns tothe Hublot Big Bang Unico, which David says looks like it hasthe bubonic plague. Well, alright, then! Another recent release is Vacheron Constantin's 270th-anniversary watch (don't askabout the 275th anniversary, as VC only celebrates the whole numbers). It wasan innocent question, nonetheless, but the team was in lockstep with theanswer. And then the question comes up: Is the Louis Vuitton Tambour catching on? There's talk ofblue-chip luxury, and the guys muse about the future of the Tambour.Semi-regular Azad joins, and they end with our Rick-invented game, Hit, Miss,Maybe!

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick is out sick (but he is listening). David and Ripley are present and accounted for, and Ariel jumps right in with a discussion of some of his predictions for 2025. He thinks the theme song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the best background for this discussion because we're in somewhat of a time warp. His top five trends? Listen in to find out. Hint: There are five, and he goes through them one by one and asks the others what they think of his powers of prophecy. Ariel then turns attention to two fun year-end roundups, the 10 articles we published in 2024 that got the most eyeballs and our top 10 articles with the highest number of reader comments. Next up, there's a discussion of the Longines Ultra-Chron Carbon watch, and the guys go back and forth on the merits of this particular design. What about the TAG Heuer's return as the official Formula 1 timekeeper? David gives an overview of what this article covers, both historically and in the present. MB&F's new M.A.D. Edition watches are the next topic of conversation, along with the various ways you can get your hands on one. Talk gets racy with consideration of Breguet's Classique 7145 Lunar New Year 2025 (luxe House of Slytherin, says Ripley). There's a segway to convo about American watchmaking, and Ripley elaborates on Mike's thesis: There will be no full-scale return to American watchmaking. Instead of Hit, Miss, Maybe, the team ends the show by looking at the latest Favre Leuba.

Welcome to another edition of Fratello On Air! This week, we're back with a lengthy episode to see you through holiday travels or unruly guests. We received a listener suggestion to discuss our favorite watches from the '90s and '00s. We've added the '10s to the mix as a bonus.

Join us as we welcome William Massena back to Keeping Time podcast. Fresh from Geneva Watch Days, join us as we catch up with William, one of the most knowledgeable and highly respected authorities on all things watches. With a breadth of knowledge spanning the entire history of watchmaking, the former CEO of Antiquorum Watches (auction house) and Managing Director of Time Zone offers a perspective and level of expertise few can challenge. The conversation begins with a deep-dive into the newest product launch from Massena Lab, a striking and unique vintage-inspired, modern take on a classic Regatta Yacht Timer. William explains the unique design approach and discusses his partner for this latest collaboration. The new watch is the first piece launched by a new watch company, ALBISHORN, with a very interesting design-ethos. The patented movement is just one noteworthy element of the new watch. Following discussion of William's eponymous brand, Massena Lab, we switch gears to discuss the recent Geneva Watch Days (GWD). Created just a couple of years ago, during the pandemic, William fully describes the purpose behind the show, the founders of the event and the experience of attending. Let's just say that any watch event that can be enjoyed wearing shorts and flip-flops whilst sipping Rosé is surely worthy of serious consideration.  William brings the show to life for our listeners and fully describes the vibe, experience and intentions of this important newcomer to the watch-industry calendar. The newest GWD releases are discussed. Of course, being a conversation between watch nerds, William Massena and Jeremy Oster, the conversation meanders and explores side-topics with a great detour into unraveling the history of the modern Breguet brand (pre-Swatch Group) and Daniel Roth. The conversation further delves into the early history and importance of FP Journe and Vianney Halter and the connection with Breguet. Incredibly, this fascinating conversational diversion occurs whilst discussing Konstantin Chaykin's record breaking "ThinKing" watch. As always, the conversation with William is natural, free-flowing and filled with information and insight that will be new, even for the most knowledgeable listeners. We hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoy creating Keeping Time Podcast. Visit Keeping Time with Oster Watches blog for more podcast and photos. Visit osterjewelers.com

Today: the vintage Patek Philippe Calatrava episode. Introduced in 1932, though it wouldn't be called the "Calatrava" until years later, the Patek Philippe Calatrava is perhaps the most iconic watch ever, laying the blueprint for the modern dress watch. It was also introduced at a pivotal time in the history of Patek Philippe, just after it had been acquired by the Stern family. After the acquisition, the Stern brothers hired Jean Pfister, a technical master who would lead the development of the first serially produced complications that defined so much of Patek's collection during the mid-20th century. But first came the Calatrava ref. 96, Patek's first serially-produced reference. I called up founder Ben Clymer and client advisor Rich Fordon to discuss the Patek Calatrava. We start by asking: what even is a "Calatrava," and what isn't? Then, we jump through the history of the line, from the original reference 96 through the golden era of the refs. 570, 565, 2508, and others (depending on your definition of "Calatrava"), through the hobnail ref. 3919 and then the rebirth of the traditional Calatrava in the 1980s and '90s. We also take a look at a few of our favorite overlooked Calatrava references as well as the most expensive ones to ever sell at auction.In the show notes below, I've tried to include a link to each reference we mention to help you follow along with our discussion. Thanks as always for listening – let us know if you liked this model-focused discussion, and if so, what model you'd like to hear us discuss next.  Show Notes3:55: The Calatrava collection on Patek's website5:05: A Visual Guide to Rare Patek Philippe Calatravas5:50: Patek Philippe ref. 3919 (Hodinkee Shop)11:54: Introducing: Audemars Piguet Mini Royal Oaks13:18: Steel Patek Calatrava ref. 96 with sector dial at Sotheby's16:36: The 'Imperial Patek Philippe' Owned By The Last Emperor Of China Sells For $6.2 Million17:22: The Patek Ref. 565 With Breguet Dial For Sale At Phillips17:30: Patek ref. 570 in yellow gold (Hodinkee Shop)18:24: White gold Patek ref. 570 (Hodinkee Shop)21:30: Alfredo Paramico Talking Watches, featuring his three two-tone dial 570s24:35: Patek Philippe ref. 250928:45: The Patek Philippe 2526, And Why It's A Watch To Pay Attention To34:52: Introducing: The Rexhep Rexhepi Chronomètre Contemporain II With Ruby Indices, Limited To Ten Pieces40:26: Patek 2577 with enamel dial at Phillips42:28: Patek ref. 530 with black dial and Breguet numerals that sold for CHF 1.4 million43:05: Patek ref. 570 with two-tone dial and Breguet numerals that sold for CHF 3.3 million (most expensive Calatrava sold at auction)47:26: Patek ref. 3796 (Hodinkee Shop)51:10: Patek ref. 3923 for Harrod's 150th anniversary (Mr. Watchley)52:00: Andy Warhol's Patek 2526 with Breguet numerals

My guests this week are Phil Toledano and Mike Nouveau.Phil is no stranger to Hodinkee, having been on Talking Watches and this podcast previously. He's an artist and photographer, bon vivant as well as a collector of all kinds of stuff, including watches. Most recently, he's the co-founder of Toledano & Chan, which just released its first watch, the brutalist B1. He's also a frequent undercard on Mike's social videos.Mike is a vintage dealer and the king of WatchTok – he's got hundreds of thousands of followers across social media who tune into his daily updates on life as a dealer in New York City. He has, in particular, become known for his love and expertise in vintage Cartier, which we certainly talk about.The odd couple are friends and collectors, and they just love watches. We talk about vintage Cartier, Breitling, Patek, and pre-Daytonas, as well as the first release from Toledano's new brand. Along the way, we all get in a few friendly jabs.Show Notes00:01: Mike Nouveau on TikTok and Instagram Phil Toledano on Instagram1:00: Introducing: The B/1 Is An Audaciously Designed Watch By Newcomer Toledano & Chan1:21: Phil on Hodinkee Radio in 20202:30: Hands-On: Cartier Brings Back The Tortue – Monopusher Chronograph And All11:05: Phil's rectangular Patek with blue sapphire numerals11:25: Buying, Selling, & Collecting: The Audacious Design Of 1970s Patek11:56: Mike and Phil picking up the Rolex Zerograph15:30: Mike's Patek 96 with Breguet numerals16:44: The steel Patek 96 that sold at Antiquorum in May19:45: Auctions: Sylvester Stallone's Grandmaster Chime Sells For $5.4 Million, Evaluating Vintage Patek Philippe Condition, And More From New York23:52: Talking Watches with Phil Toledano

Geneva auctions that took place last month were a great success and definitely boosted the feelings of vintage watch community. Most auction houses had successful events, although it is worth noting Christie's had a bit of problem with their online bidding platform after the auction house appeared to be hit with a cyber attack. Today we are going to look towards the New York auctions from the major auction houses and pull out a few favourite lots.Note: At the time of recording, Christie's had not released their catalogue so we will cover them in a future episode.

It's the 1980s, and Bruno Breguet is one of international super-terrorist Carlos the Jackal's most trusted operatives. But in a paranoid world of violence and subterfuge, what is loyalty really worth? In this 2-part True Spies story, intelligence historian Adrian Hänni joins Daisy Ridley to uncover the life of a little-known, but fascinating figure. In Part 2, the strength of Breguet's revolutionary ideals come up against the mercenary reality of the Jackal's world - and is found wanting. Gunplay in Paris, a lavish semi-retirement in Syria and an unlikely new paymaster pave the road to a final, deadly riddle. From SPYSCAPE, the home of secrets. A Cup And Nuzzle production. Series producers: Gemma Newby, Joe Foley. Produced by Joe Foley. Music by Nick Ryan.

Called "a poem in clockwork," the self-winding Breguet watch made for Marie Antionette was meant to be the most beautiful example of mechanical art in the world. Yet when she was imprisoned in the Tour du Temple, she wanted only a simple watch that would mark the passing of the hours until her meeting with the guillotine. Listen as Rebecca Struthers, the watchmaker, antiquarian horologist, and author of the Hands of Time talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about how our need to keep time has shaped watchmaking history, and how, in turn, the development of watches has shaped human culture and society. Other topics include the precise and painstaking craft of bespoke watchmaking and the challenge of restoring watches from another time.
