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.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley are back together, with Ariel and David freshly returned from Geneva Watch Days and apparently still recovering from the heat. They recap the highs and lows of the event, from impressive watchmaking and questionable hospitality to the latest GPHG selections and the brands that did, or decidedly did not, make the cut. The conversation also turns to what makes Geneva Watch Days worthwhile despite its quirks and why the watch industry continues to descend on Geneva even when the city seems determined to make everyone sweat.From there, the crew tackles the difference between collecting and investing, leading Ariel to declare collectors “natural born hoarders” and, naturally, a detour into knives, cheese, and the apparent collapse of cheese futures. Then it is back to watches with Chanel's Blue Ceramic J12, the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Up/Down, the Tudor Northflag, and plenty more new releases and opinions along the way. As always, expect strong takes, questionable financial advice, and more than a little anxiety over whether a manually wound watch has enough power left to survive the day.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!Key Chapters:[00:01] Show Welcome[01:00] Sweating Through Geneva Watch Days[09:40] Is Geneva Watch Days Worth It?[16:31] Favorite Watches From Geneva[17:19] GPHG Winners, Losers, and Controversy[24:58] Chronoswiss and the Pulse One GMT[33:41] Bulgari at Geneva Watch Days[36:41] Watch Collecting vs. Watch Investing[41:11] Natural Born Watch Hoarders[42:13] Knives, Biver, and Cheese[46:19] Chanel's Blue Ceramic J12[54:09] A.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I recap my time in Geneva with Collective Horology, and talk about a few of the standout releases from the show. Even Tudor got in on the action with the release of a new Northflag, a watch we've been waiting and hoping to see return. There's also hands-on thoughts on the new Zenith Chronomaster Solo Sport and Fears Brunswick 39 Perpetual Calendar.

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.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick and Ripley are holding down the fort as they work their way through some of the latest releases, industry conversations, and questionable watch buying decisions. They start by exploring whether the watches everyone wants are actually the most satisfying to own, which naturally sends them down a Rolex rabbit hole. From personal connections to popular models to the realities of buying for hype, the conversation eventually becomes a challenge to build the most unfashionable Rolex possible and see just how badly it performs on the secondary market.The guys also take a spin with the roulette inspired Perrelet Turbine Casino before looking at the latest Formex Essence 39 and why sometimes the smartest upgrade is knowing what not to change. There is also the incredibly shiny Bulova Shelby Racer Chronograph, along with the massive, hand engraved Urwerk UR 1001 Amadeus and its millennium tracker designed to count its way through the next thousand years. Plus, there are plenty of the usual tangents along the way, including what actually makes strangers notice your watch and whether the aBlogtoWatch team really needs a Geneva chateau and its own reality show.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!Key Chapters:[00:07] Rick and Ripley Take Over aBlogtoWatch Weekly[05:02] Ariel's Leather Jacket and the Popularity Paradox[10:26] Are Popular Watches Actually Satisfying to Own?[14:27] Rolex, Hype, and Building the Most Unfashionable Rolex[17:55] Which Rolex Has the Worst Resale Value?[22:00] Is Rolex Too Popular to Be Cool?[24:25] Which Watches Actually Get People's Attention?[29:05] Favorite Watches, Knives, and Cars[34:00] Perrelet Watches and the Turbine Casino[39:57] Apple Watch Ultra From a Watch Collector's Perspective[44:28] Formex Essence 39 Gets a Generational Upgrade[47:45] Where Formex Fits in the Watch Market[52:22] Bulova Shelby Racer and the Mirror Finish Debate[56:14] Urwerk UR-1001 Amadeus and Its 1,000 Year Tracker[1:00:38] Geneva Watch Days and the aBlogtoWatch Chateau[1:06:00] Final Thoughts and Closing Chaos

Gabe Reilly and Blake Buettner record live from Geneva Watch Days to discuss the show's atmosphere, the growth of independent watchmaking, and what Blake's new role at Collective means for future content. We break down major trends: independents gaining mainstream traction, the rising accessibility of creative watchmaking, and the cross-pollination of materials and techniques between affordable and high-end brands. And of course, we highlight standout releases, including Ming's 57.05 Comet worldtimer with its dynamic dial and tiered lugs as well as Bulgari's surprising collaboration with Vianney Halter. We also react to Tudor's North Flag release and explain why Geneva Watch Days continues to matter — especially for collectors — as it expands across the city and preserves its more relaxed, collector-focused vibe. 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.

Join us on a journey into old world high  horology, elegance and independent watchmaking. The CP7 Boys are back to bring you an exclusive interview with the acting-CEO of Louis  Moinet, Kurt Kupper, on the eve of Geneva Watch Days 2026, and before we fly out to Geneva. Louis Moinet was the watchmaker, if you didn't know, responsible for inventing the first chronograph, in a pocket watch in 1816, one of the most popular and enduring complications in horological history. Kurt tells us how Louis Moinet's celebratory 1816 Chronograph wristwatch is rapidly becoming their flagship piece, focused on heritage and affordability alongside some of the most impressive haute horology and use of materials (some older than the earth!) in independent watchmaking.No show about Loius Moinet would be complete without discovering the achievements and creativity of their former CEO Jean-Marie Schaller, a real visionary who sadly passed away in May this year.  Discover how he rejuvenated the company and turned it into the exclusive collector's fan favourite it is today, and what Kurt and his team have planned to continue that legacy and beyond. So buckle up and enjoy the ride, let the orchestra play as we take a magical journey into classical luxury watchmaking and opulent old world charm, with a modern twist, as Kurt Kupper talks all things Louis Moinet.Check out the amazing watches of Louis Moinet at:https://louismoinet.com/Don't forget to check out  our website at www.chronopassion7.com Or our Instagram @chrono_passion_7.Intro-Outro Music Credit "The Attic Is For Work" By Streamer Music Group - Copyright Free Music

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, David, and Ripley are back with a colorful mix of watches, industry talk, and a few reasons why Geneva might be better to visit than to call home. The guys recap the recent Time at Wynn event in Las Vegas and discuss why the watch industry needs more consumer focused events that give enthusiasts a reason to come together. They also get into vintage military watches, the growing hype around F.P. Journe, and what happens when collector enthusiasm starts looking a little too much like following the herd.Then it is on to Gerald Charles and their Masterlink Perpetual Calendar, where Gerald Genta design DNA and a map of Geneva somehow turn into a debate over whether the city's best feature is how easy it is to leave. Finally, Rolex enters the color mosh pit with the Oyster Perpetual 36 and its colorful Jubilee dial. The trio digs into the surprisingly complicated process behind creating the dial, Rolex's ability to execute it at scale, and whether the brand's increasingly playful approach to color is refreshing or risks becoming too much of a good thing. Plus, David makes the case for the 36mm Oyster Perpetual, Ripley considers just how far Rolex should take the trend, and Ariel imagines a future filled with increasingly chaotic color combinations.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!Key Chapters:00:04 Welcome & Rick's Latest Disappearance02:08 Vintage Longines & Why Military Watches Endure10:52 Time at Wynn Recap & The State of Watch Events20:10 F.P.

The post Scottish Watches Podcast #809 : The New Omega Speedmaster Reduced Reborn Plus Czapek, Formex and More appeared first on Scottish Watches.

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.     Show Notes 0:59 Geneva Watch Days website  2:00 Geneva Watch Days 2020 / 2021 (FHS)  5:06 Geneva Tourism - Geneva Watch Days  9:12 Breitling was a founding member of GWD  10:31 Watches and Wonders  12:45 How Watches and Wonders Remains Worthwhile For Brands Big And Small (Hodinkee)  17:16 Geneva Watch Days Agenda / Panels / Symposiums  19:10 Phillips Geneva Watch Days Auction  For Geneva Watchmaking School  22:15 Geneva.com  24:03 Fondation du Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève  31:18 Ferdinand Berthoud  32:00 FHS Statistics  33:40 The criteria for strengthening Swiss made (FHS)  35:20 Swatch 37:50 Casio mechanical watches  40:30 Swatch X Audemars Piguet 'Royal Pop' (Hodinkee)

Ahead of Geneva Watch Days, which will feature 71 (mostly independent) brands in 2026, episode 49 of the SJX Podcast looks back at how independent watchmaking became the phenomenon it is today. SJX and Brandon trace its evolution from 1970s pioneers like George Daniels and F.P. Journe through the arrival of Daniel Roth, Philippe Dufour, and Franck Muller. The conversation also examines the avant-garde boom of the 2000s, the renewed emphasis on traditional finishing, and the role of digital photography and social media in transforming what was once a solitary pursuit into a global collector community.Listeners can sign up for the SJX Newsletter by August 12, 2026 for a chance to win a Habring² Chrono-Felix Medicus.Show notes:00:23: Habring² Chrono-Felix Medicus giveaway02:25: Geneva Watch Days 2026 preview and origins04:00: The pioneers of independent watchmaking10:00: The 2000s wave and the influence of the Philippe Dufour Simplicity12:09: Survivorship bias, changing tastes, and returning makers14:03: Post-Covid independents, specialist suppliers, and social media18:43: Predictions for what comes next Hosted on Acast.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Cait Bazemore for what might be, according to some, an exercise in futility: identifying three watches (each) under $1,000 that have been released this year. With all the chatter about rising prices (and Geneva Watch Days coming up, an event not known for its orientation toward value) the team thought it would be worthwhile to identify some truly affordable watches that have come to market recently. What they've come up with is a good mix of some of the usual suspects, as well as some surprising newcomers.  We also have our usual cultural recommendations, including a directive from our friend Mark Cho to participate in his Ideal Watch Size survey which can be found hereand closes on Saturday evening. You can find links to our previous coverage of this survey from past years below. It's always valuable and provides a ton of insight into our perceptions on what's big, small, and somewhere in between.   To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

On this week's The Business Of Watches podcast, we catch up with Antoine Pin, the Chief Executive Officer of Tag Heuer. He's having quite a year. The brand is in the first season of a new decade-long deal to be the official timekeeping sponsor of Formula 1. It's a high-profile, multi-brand agreement that, if executed correctly, could launch Tag Heuer to a whole new level of visibility. But it also comes at a challenging time for the global economy and the watch industry in general as soaring input costs, a strong Swiss franc, and U.S. tariffs on Swiss goods take a toll on margins and confidence.Pin tells us Tag Heuer has plenty of experience overcoming tough challenges. When the brand launched the first version of its carbon hairspring technology in 2019, there were issues. But the Tag Heuer laboratory didn't give up, and now it's back with a new version, which it says has overcome the problems. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Antoine Pin.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we're talking all things Geneva Watch Days 2025. Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Devin Pennypacker to recap the event and the most interesting watches that came out of it. Before getting into the watches themselves, the group talks about their impressions of the event itself and its relative importance on the watch industry calendar. This was Zach W's first time at Geneva Watch Days (and Zach K's second), and the show itself is rapidly changing, so there's a lot to talk about on this front. While the releases at Geneva Watch Days aren't as splashy as the novelties you'll find at Watches & Wonders, there are still plenty of gems to be found, the event represents a great opportunity for small brands to get a ton of attention. That was really the case this year, as you'll hear Zach and Zach that some of the watches that most impressed them came from true indies (at all price points), like Behrens and Dennison. Let us know what you thought of this year's crop of Geneva Watch Days releases in the comments below. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.
