Gabe and Asher kick off Episode 93 with news: Collective is now an authorized Ressence retailer. Then they get into the week's biggest story out of Geneva Watch Days 2026: Breitling's Gallet relaunch, its inherited distribution network, the debt behind the bet, and why it beats the usual sub-$5,000 heritage revival. The rest of the episode is Collective's annual rundown of the watches nobody else is covering: the Laurent Ferrier Classic Moon Dusk and its lumed double-moon phase, Singer Track's new V72 chronograph in gold panda dial, and the Atelier Wen x William Messina Inflection, a real collaboration with a Chinese-calligraphy and Arabic numeral dial. They close with three more: the Urwerk UR-1001 Amadeus, a one-of-one engraved pocket watch that tracks centuries and millennia; the Marco Tedeschi MT 1.1, a crownless skeleton tourbillon from the watchmaker behind Kross Studios; and the Fears Brunswick 39 Perpetual Calendar, built on a customized Sellita and Dubois Dépraz module. Gabe and Asher use it to make the case that movement choice, not movement brand, should determine a watch's value.

The grand finale of our Geneva Watch Days 2026 content. We're talking Breitling's new Gallet brand and the thinking behind creating a more accessible entry point into the Breitling family,... The post Scottish Watches Podcast #813 : Geneva Watch Days 2026 – The Final Watches From The Show appeared first on Scottish Watches.
This week on The Business of Watches, a fresh take on the new releases we saw at Geneva Watch Days and what they might mean for the market. Ahead of a special request summer fondue dinner, Tim, TanTan and Andy discuss what they saw, what they liked and didn't from the slew of novelties presented during the event. We go deep into the debut of Gallet, discussing how the entry-level offering from Breitling's House of Brands will stack up against the competition and how it will re-enter the company into the cut-throat $3,000 to $6,000 price category at a time when the Swiss industry is struggling to halt the slide in volumes. We also talk Bulgari, Oris, Frederique Constant, Girard-Perregaux, MB&F and the latest MADEditions, and why, when it comes to Doxa, you can't have just one. Plus, what the return of a new Northflag (now one word) heralds for Tudor.

Janina Breitling hat vieles getan, was nach klassischer Lebensplanung ziemlich riskant klingt: Sie kündigte ihren Job als Journalistin, reiste als alleinerziehende Mutter mit ihrem Sohn um die Welt, lebte auf Bali, in Portugal und Brasilien und gründete schließlich ihr eigenes Unternehmen. Heute lebt sie in Südafrika. Risiko? Für Janina ja. Leichtsinn? Nein. Denn sie unterscheidet sehr klar zwischen Risiko und unkalkulierbarem Handeln. Mich hat besonders fasziniert, wie konsequent sich Freiheit durch ihr Leben zieht. Und wie offen Janina über die andere Seite des Unternehmertums spricht: Selbstzweifel, Überarbeitung, finanzielle Unsicherheit und die Illusion erfolgreicher Start-ups auf Social Media. Wir sprechen darüber, warum viele Follower noch lange kein erfolgreiches Unternehmen bedeuten, weshalb Nachhaltigkeit als Verkaufsargument an Kraft verloren hat und warum Frauen ihren eigenen Zyklus besser verstehen sollten. Janina erzählt außerdem, wie aus Müll im Meer auf Bali die Idee für ihr Unternehmen entstand und warum Periodenarmut für sie schließlich zu einem gesellschaftlichen Thema wurde.

This week on The Business of Watches, we're getting a preview and history lesson of Geneva Watch Days. Born in the dark days of the pandemic in 2020, it was a new kind of watch industry gathering, that prioritized access and community over exclusivity. Jean-Christophe Babin, the former Chief Executive Officer of Bulgari, has been there from the beginning. He tells us why Geneva Watch Days started and why it's still needed. We discuss what to expect at this year's event and what the future of watch industry events might bring. With some 71 brands exhibiting, GWD has more marques than that other big watch show in Geneva that happens each spring, but it's very different in tone and feel. Using a 'decentralized' concept, brands pay fees based on their size and revenue and the show allows for plenty of smaller, boutique brands to show off their wares. Open to the general public, it certainly isn't as glitzy nor as pricey an event as some others. Babin says the entire budget of GWD is likely less than the cost of staging and running a major booth at Watches and Wonders. A veteran who has served as the head of LVMH's watch unit as well the CEO of TAG Heuer, Babin has seen the industry through a myriad of cycles, giving him a unique perspective on where the watch sector has been and where it's going.

Breitling relaunches Gallet on September 3rd. Openwork hosts Gabe Reilly and Asher Rapkin unpack Georges Kern's play: chronographs at 3,000–5,000 CHF, an exploration story aimed at Bremont, Longines, and Tudor, sold in Breitling boutiques. Plus Universal Genève and Breitling's return to Watches & Wonders. Then a listener question: how has working in the industry changed our collecting? It starts with selling nearly everything to help fund Collective Horology — what survived, what still stings (the Urwerk collaboration, the MB&F LM101, the Lange Odysseus), and rebuilding from an empty watch box. What came back is different: neo-vintage tool watches, Holthinrichs, Ming, Singer. Buying on the merits instead of the hype, why an Aquanaut lands differently outside collector context, and the freedom that comes from retailing independent watches. 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.

Selten habe ich Männer hier im Podcast zu Gast. Doch wenn jemand eine derartig gewaltige Tiefe, radikale Ehrlichkeit und ungefilterte Marketing-Expertise verkörpert wie Timo Hannemann, dann muss er eine Bühne bekommen! Timo ist Marketer, Ex-Leistungssportler und ein Meister der klaren Kante. Bekannt geworden durch seine radikale Social-Media-Challenge (1.000 ungeskriptete Reels in 100 Tagen), bricht er ungefiltert mit den glattpolierten Scheinwelten der Online-Business-Bubble. In diesem tiefgründigen Talk sprechen wir ohne Skript und ohne Samthandschuhe über die nackte Wahrheit hinter Reichweite, die schmerzhafte Physik von Volumen und Wiederholung sowie die unausweichliche Beziehung zu Geld. Warum Qualität deine Sichtbarkeit nicht automatisch rettet, wieso „Bizeps, Breitling & Balance“-Marketing ausgedient hat und weshalb du deinen tiefen Glaubenssätzen am Ende niemals entkommen wirst – das alles erfährst du in dieser Folge. In der heutigen Folge erfährst du: - Die Macht des Volumens: Warum Erfolg im Marketing oft stupide Monotonie ist und weshalb du durch extrem hohe Schlagzahl (10 Reels am Tag) deine Ängste vor der Kamera eiskalt verbrennst. - Das Reichweiten-Paradoxon: Warum viral gehendes Material rein gar nichts mit perfekten Formeln zu tun hat und wie Menschen in Bruchteilen von Sekunden entscheiden, ob sie dir wirklich zuhören. - Gleichgültigkeit als Superpower: Warum dir der Erfolg deines Gegenübers scheißegal sein muss, um als echte Autorität wahrgenommen zu werden, und wieso dir „Gefallen-Wollen“ deine Reichweite ruiniert. - Deine unbewusste Geld-Beziehung: Wie vererbte Mangel-Programme aus deinem Elternhaus („Alle Reichen sind Betrüger“) deine finanzielle Skalierung boykottieren und weshalb wahrer Wohlstand immer eine Entscheidung gegen das eigene Ego ist. Lerne von einem der tiefsten Köpfe der Szene, schüttle deine Ausreden ab und stelle dich den Themen, die dich wirklich zurückhalten!

Next, Boomer offers Al two tickets to San Antonio for the Knicks game, leaving Al to think it over.

A grand reorganization of the luxury watch business is happening in front of us, and nowhere is it more visible than in the diverging strategies of two holding companies making opposite bets on the future. Gabe and Asher unpack the contrast between Breitling, which under Georges Kern has quietly reconstituted itself as a private-equity-backed challenger group — bulking up through the acquisitions of Universal Genève and Gallet — and Richemont, the industry stalwart now actively slimming down, shedding Baume & Mercier and quietly walking Montblanc away from serious watchmaking. The conversation digs into what each move actually signals. Universal Genève's relaunch with full collections at Vacheron and Jaeger-LeCoultre price points, distributed through curated Breitling network partners, looks like a textbook play for cross-shop market share at the high end. Gallet's entry into the brutal sub-$5,000 segment is harder to explain — unless you read it as Kern building a fully diversified holding company with a long-term IPO in mind, willing to plant a flag in a difficult category before the cycle turns. Richemont's behavior reads as the inverse philosophy: get fit, exit segments where the math doesn't work, and protect margin around Cartier and the houses that still command pricing power. Along the way, Gabe and Asher get into the JLC management buyout rumors swirling out of Geneva, why the Mark Newson Memovox travel clock is the most genuinely interesting thing the brand has done in years, what Monbtlanc's absence from Watches and Wonders actually means, and why the agility of a young holding company is a real strategic asset that the legacy giants can't easily replicate. Market share is up for grabs in a way it hasn't been in a generation — and the next few years are going to redraw the map. 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 The Business of Watches, we talk to the man who runs the brand that makes the mighty El Primero movement. Benoit de Clerck has been in the CEO chair at Zenith Watches for a couple of years now, and that's coincided with a challenging time for the sector and one of the industry's most storied brands, with more than 160 years of history and still located in its original manufacturing location in Le Locle, Switzerland. Under de Clerck's leadership, Zenith is responding to the challenges with a multi-pronged approach. It's throttling production to keep sell-in and sell-out balanced, he says. But it's also stepping up its movement, making production expertise and supplying more calibers to other brands, also under the LVMH watch group umbrella. As for those reports and rumors that Zenith is up for sale? We ask de Clerck straight up if the El Primero maker is on the selling block. Have a listen to hear his forceful and fulsome response. But first, former Hodinkee editor Logan Baker drops in to give his take on Zenith, as well as reports that the valuation of Breitling has been reduced by its private equity ownership. Logan also has a few of his unique vintage Zenith watches on hand for us to check out.
