One of the most famous names in watch circles, Octavio Garcia is today the Creative Director for Gerald Charles. Previously, the American-born designer was Creative Director for Audemars Piguet during the all-important brand-building period from 2002-2015. Responsible for some of the most ground-breaking and sought after Royal Oak Offshore designs, including the famed series inspired by Formula 1 drivers such as Juan Pablo Montoya and Rubens Barichello as well as expanding the Millenary collection with extraordinary creations such as the Pianoforte, inspired by and paying homage to Quincy Jones.  Join us as we take a deep dive and discuss the extraordinary career of the Chicago-born designer. From the earlier days working with Jean-Claude Biver to the most logical step in creating his own brand, Gorilla Watches. Finally to today, and possibly the most natural progression, taking on design responsibilities for the brand created by the Maestro himself, Gérald Charles Genta, the designer who gave the world the Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet and the Nautilus for Patek Philippe as well as the Ingenieur for IWC and countless other enduring designs. Today the "Maestro" case design, penned by the late designer himself in the early 2000's, is like a gift to the talented Octavio Garcia. The unique and charismatic case provides a inviting challenge for creative design. Listen in as we discuss the latest creation unveiled at Watches and Wonders, a world first Perpetual Calendar with asymetrical movement, which perfectly compliments the unique shape of the Maestro case for an ideally balanced design. Listen in as we learn about the intricacies of the design's layout and the truly unique approach to the movement layout itself.  This unique episode provides a wonderful window into the creative approach and inspiration that drives Octavio Garcia as he continues to pen the incredible designs that will delight and provide timeless watches for today and generations in the future.  Thank you, as always, for downloading and listening to Keeping Time Podcast.

Neel TPT joins me for one of the most eye opening conversations on the luxury watch world, celebrity clients, money, success, discipline, and the mindset it takes to build a $500 million watch empire. From selling million dollar Richard Mille watches to working with the biggest streamers and influencers in the world, Neel breaks down how the luxury watch game really works behind the scenes. We talk Rolex, AP, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, fake watches, watch investments, Miami culture, entrepreneurship, discipline, relationships, and why more money doesn't always mean more happiness. Neel also shares stories about SteveWillDoIt, influencers spending hundreds of thousands in an hour, the psychology behind luxury watches, and the biggest mistakes people make when buying their first watch. If you're into luxury watches, entrepreneurship, wealth, self improvement, business, social media, or the mindset behind success, this episode is for you.The Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopEXCLUSIVE AD FREE EPISODEShttps://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/neeltpthttps://www.instagram.com/timepiecetradingTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#timepiecetrading #NeelTPT #Rolex #RichardMille #LuxuryWatches #Entrepreneurship

« Et à la fin, c'est la Chine qui gagne », titre L'Express. « Pour la première fois depuis la fin de la Seconde guerre mondiale, nous dit l'hebdomadaire, l'Amérique fait face à un rival qui menace sa suprématie. » Les journaux reviennent tous sur l'intelligence artificielle, « mère de toutes les batailles » entre Pékin et Washington, glisse L'Express. Pour l'heure, poursuit le titre, « les États-Unis la mènent d'une courte tête grâce aux performances des modèles de langage de ChatGPT et Claude ». Mais une avance en forme de trompe-l'œil. L'économiste Benjamin Bürbaumer, interrogé dans les colonnes du Nouvel Obs, prévient : « Les États-Unis s'épuisent sur le front de l'innovation, tandis que [la Chine], placée juste derrière, bénéficie de l'aspiration. » « Les autorités politiques chinoises, nous dit l'Express, mobilisent massivement l'appareil techno-industriel pour faciliter la commercialisation des produits stratégiques. » D'autant que Pékin bénéficie d'une force de frappe que Washington n'a pas : chaque année, 1,3 million d'ingénieurs sortent de ses universités, contre 130 000 aux États-Unis. « Au même moment, croit savoir l'économiste Benjamin Bürbaumer dans Le Nouvel Obs, la Chine gagne en popularité. » « Au point que la Chine devienne même tendance, martèle L'Express. Sur TikTok, Instagram ou YouTube, le phénomène « Chinamaxxing » vante l'art de vivre à la chinoise. Une opération de propagande jamais vue depuis les années Mao. » Quant aux pays européens, les hebdomadaires sont unanimes : ils sont cantonnés au rôle de spectateur de ce duel. « L'Europe en est réduite à jouer les utilités. Voire les victimes consentantes », s'indigne Le Point. « L'effacement de l'Europe, poursuit le journal, est symbolisé par le sort réservé au Premier ministre Keir Starmer. Pour obtenir un entretien avec Xi Jinping, il a dû donner son feu vert à la construction d'une nouvelle ambassade chinoise au cœur de Londres. » Résultat ? s'interroge l'hebdomadaire. « Une concession dérisoire sur le whisky et une visite de la Cité interdite avec pour unique accompagnateur un guide local. L'image du Premier ministre britannique, errant les mains dans les poches au milieu de la foule, scelle le déclassement de l'ex-puissance coloniale de Hong Kong », sermonne Le Point. À lire aussiSommet Chine-États-Unis: accords commerciaux «fantastiques» pour Trump, la visite «fera date», dit Xi Jinping Dans un an, l'élection présidentielle en France « Ça sent la naphtaline », s'amuse Marianne, qui titre : « Le retour en force des vieux ». Dans presque tous les titres, on évoque la stratégie de François Hollande pour tenter de s'imposer comme le candidat du Parti socialiste en 2027. « Voilà des années qu'il cherche le trou de souris – l'expression lui est presque consacrée », note L'Express. « Sa force, c'est qu'il a été président. Son handicap, c'est qu'il a été président », résume dans les colonnes du magazine Pierre Moscovici, qui fut ministre du dernier quinquennat socialiste. « Sa stratégie, c'est le bordel », résume pour sa part le premier secrétaire du PS, Olivier Faure, dans L'Express, « et puis de réapparaître à la fin, fort de son expérience ». Pendant ce temps, plus au centre, un duel se profile entre Gabriel Attal et Édouard Philippe. Les deux hommes ont tous les deux été Premiers ministres et font valoir leur expérience, rappelle Marianne. « Attal est un bulldozer, pas une voiture-balai soucieuse de récupérer coûte que coûte les indécis et les critiques de son action », estime L'Express. « Edouard Philippe bénéficie d'une image de valeur sûre, de quelqu'un d'ultra compétent », juge pour sa part Marianne. La Tribune Dimanche assure que Gabriel Attal va annoncer officiellement sa candidature « dans les jours qui viennent ». « Tout va maintenant aller très vite », écrit le titre, qui publie une tribune de 500 élus locaux. Tous appellent l'ancien premier ministre à se présenter à l'élection présidentielle. « Parce que Gabriel Attal a montré ses qualités, qu'il a la force de l'expérience, l'audace de proposer et la capacité à agir : il est, pour nous, la personne dont notre pays a besoin » assurent les signataires. À lire aussiPrésidentielle 2027: Raphaël Glucksmann peut-il être le candidat de la gauche? 79e édition du Festival de Cannes « Qui veut la peau du CNC ? », s'interroge M, le Magazine du Monde. Le Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC) est l'organe public chargé notamment de financer la création cinématographique, en reversant notamment les taxes perçues sur les ventes de tickets. « La France est dans le top 3 mondial dans trois secteurs, rappelle le patron de l'institution dans les colonnes du magazine, les exportations d'armement, le nucléaire, et le marché du cinéma. » « Le CNC est la définition même d'un outil de souveraineté », poursuit-il. « Une citadelle assiégée », s'inquiète pour sa part le M. Il est la cible « d'attaques répétées, venant notamment de l'extrême droite », « au prétexte, poursuit le journal, que le CNC dilapiderait l'argent des Français pour aider des navets et des films gauchistes pour une rentabilité nulle ». Le M décortique dans ce long papier le fonctionnement de l'institution, notamment les commissions mises en place pour attribuer des avances sur recettes, dont, s'amuse l'hebdomadaire, « le secret des délibérations [...] ferait pâlir d'envie une loge maçonnique ». Le Point, pour sa part, dévoile quelques coulisses de la Croisette. Derrière les paillettes, les robes de soirée et les rivières de diamants, le magazine s'est intéressé aux agents d'image, ces hommes et ces femmes chargés de négocier les contrats entre les acteurs et les maisons de haute couture ou de joaillerie. « Au cinéma cohabitent deux dialectes : celui de la cinéphilie et celui de l'argent », résume l'un de ces agents dans les colonnes du magazine. On apprend ainsi que pour un contrat « full égérie », certaines maisons déboursent « entre deux et trois millions d'euros par an pour une Française, davantage s'il s'agit d'une Américaine ». « Une actrice de niveau A peut facturer 50 000 euros le port d'une parure, 30 000 euros la présence à un dîner, de 15 000 euros à 100 000 euros pour assister à un défilé de mode », poursuit Le Point. À lire aussiCannes 2026: parentalités contrariées au cinquième jour du Festival Enquête sur Reza Pahlavi Le Nouvel Obs s'est intéressé au fils du dernier shah d'Iran dans un long papier, intitulé « La fabrique d'un roi ». Le magazine s'interroge : comment cet héritier en exil « s'est-il imposé en trois ans comme un symbole de l'opposition iranienne ? » « L'histoire commence en février 2023 », raconte L'Obs, en plein mouvement « Femme, Vie, Liberté », puis se poursuit lors de la guerre des douze jours, en juin dernier. Le tout secondé par des interventions dans les médias, une stratégie sur les réseaux sociaux et « tout un écosystème aux financements opaques, où se croisent lobbys d'influence et réseaux politiques », écrit le titre. Le magazine décortique ainsi l'entourage de Reza Pahlavi, galaxie d'influenceurs et de personnages sulfureux qui frôle avec l'extrême droite. M, le Magazine du Monde, consacre lui un article au père de Reza Pahlavi, le dernier shah d'Iran. L'hebdomadaire s'est penché sur sa collection de montres, qui « affole les enchères ». « Des Rolex en platine, des Patek Philippe en or, des Audemars Piguet serties de diamants » qui s'envolent pour des centaines de milliers de dollars dans les salles des ventes. « Cette collection raconte un moment particulier de l'histoire de l'Iran, note le M, elle est le symbole parfait de cette dictature moderniste et pro-occidentale qui a précédé celle des mollahs. » La passion du shah pour les montres suisses, poursuit le magazine, « a finalement surtout nourri le procès en "occidentalité" instruit par son opposition religieuse, qui finit par le renverser. » À lire aussiReza Pahlavi, le fils du dernier chah qui tente de s'imposer comme figure de ralliement en Iran « Gaza, la vie d'avant », une exposition de photographies à Marseille Le magazine du Monde dévoile aussi quelques clichés d'une exposition qui se tient en ce moment dans la cité phocéenne. Le petit-fils du photographe Kegham Djeghalian, fondateur du premier studio photo de l'enclave palestinienne en 1944, expose quelques-uns de ces clichés au Centre photographique de Marseille. On y retrouve de sublimes images en noir et blanc d'enfants qui courent sur la plage, de pique-niques sur des nappes blanches, de mariages, de sourires, d'hommes qui fument le narguilé ou qui jouent au volley. Des photos « d'une bande de Gaza qui n'existe plus », écrit le M, qui rappelle que l'enclave est aujourd'hui « détruite à plus de 80 % ».

In this episode of Superlative, aBlogtoWatch founder and our host Ariel Adams speaks with design historians and authors Charlotte Fiell and Peter Fiell about their ambitious book Ultimate Collector Watches, published by TASCHEN. The conversation explores how the duo approached curating some of the most important watches ever made, from analyzing auction results to balancing representation across brands, eras, and complications. They explain why brands like Patek Philippe and Rolex dominate the high end collector space, while also sharing the challenges of expanding beyond those names to create a broader and more thoughtful narrative.Charlotte and Peter also dive into the deeper cultural and psychological aspects of collecting, from the importance of origin and rarity to the emotional connection collectors form with objects. They discuss the storytelling behind iconic timepieces, the role of design and engineering in shaping desirability, and how access to rare watches and private collections helped bring the book to life.

In the watch world, most revivals feel like marketing—names dusted off, logos revived, stories stretched to fit modern campaigns. But every so often, there's a resurrection so improbable, so meticulously earned, that it reads less like branding and more like fate. That's the story of Czapek Genève, a brand that vanished for nearly 150 years, leaving behind only traces—a few pocket watches, a partnership that helped spark Patek Philippe, and a mystery that refused to die quietly.

 Is fashion still just about clothes? Why are cars, watches, and Formula 1 the new menswear? What does Aime Leon Dore have to do with Porsche, and why, in an age of automation, are buyers paying a premium for things that are...worse?Sol Thompson and Michael Smith sit down with Wesley Breed, the New York-based influencer, storyteller, and car enthusiast who pivoted his fashion platform into automotive content, to unpack the rise of "integrated fashion": the symbiotic loop between brands, hobbies, and identity that's redefining men's style in 2026.Recorded live at Neuehouse, the trio dig into how taste is built across cars, clothing, and watches, why hyper-niche content outperforms mass content on social media, and why mid-century craft is making a comeback. We continue to chat about Wesley's charity car show, how Adidas reframed Mercedes-AMG F1 with the Y-3 collection at the Miami Grand Prix, Yohji Yamamoto's soccer kits, why Nike's stock keeps tumbling while Adidas eats their lunch, Nike ACG sponsoring the F.A.T. Ice Race in Montana with Ferdi Porsche, Meyers Manx, and Tuttle, the Porsche Carrera GT hammering for $6.7M at Amelia Island, and why pre-exit Helmut Lang and Raf Simons-era Prada hold value.We don't just cover fashion; we discuss Aime Leon Dore x Porsche collabs, Lewis Hamilton's Rick Owens and Kartik Research wardrobe, Mario Balotelli as the original unintentional style icon, the Puma Speedcat's roots in Michael Schumacher's Ferrari race boots, Why AI drives buyers towards things they can feel, and watches from Casio to Patek Philippe complications. Plus: Frank Ocean wearing Jenny Holzer at Panorama, white Ferrari t-shirts, NYU Gallatin self-designed majors, Wesley parting with his Margiela, Comme des Garcons, and Rick Owens archive for comfort, Kozaburo as the designer to watch in 2026, the Green Street SoHo car meet scene, and why loving the thing beats owning it.Hope you enjoy as much as we did recording.

Fresh off the floor at Watches & Wonders 2026, the aBlogtoWatch Weekly crew breaks down the watches, booths, and brand decisions that stood out most from this year's show. From ranking the best displays and swag to debating which brands delivered and which ones missed the mark, Ariel, Rick, David, and Ripley share their firsthand impressions after spending the week in Geneva. There is plenty of discussion around standout presentations, the return of after-hours energy, and why some booths felt more memorable than the watches themselves.The team also dives into the latest releases from brands like Patek Philippe, Rolex, H. Moser & Cie., TAG Heuer, and Ulysse Nardin, with opinions ranging from genuine admiration to total confusion. Along the way, they debate value, wearable sizing trends, booth theatrics, strange collaborations, and whether some luxury brands are finally rethinking how expensive a watch really needs to be. As always, it is equal parts industry insight, strong opinions, and the kind of watch talk that only makes sense after a very long week in Switzerland.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!________________________________________** YouTube Monetization ID for Copyright Material From PremiumBeat.com: #3826449

De nationale veiligheid in Nederland staat ‘langdurig’ onder druk en de dreigingen komen ‘van alle kanten’, waarschuwde de Algemene Inlichtingen- en Veiligheidsdienst (AIVD) donderdag in zijn jaarverslag over 2025. Sinds de oprichting van de AIVD en zijn voorlopers kort na de Tweede Wereldoorlog, was het dreigingsbeeld volgens directeur-generaal Simone Smit niet zo veelomvattend en complex. FD defensieredacteur Ria Cats was bij de presentatie en praat je bij. Lees: AIVD: dreigingen voor Nederland komen ‘van alle kanten’ Als bij de presentatie van Tesla’s kwartaalresultaten iets duidelijk werd, dan is het dit: ‘gewone’ elektrische personenauto’s staan bij ceo Elon Musk inmiddels op het tweede plan. Robots die bewegen als mensen, robotaxi’s, chips en de opslag van energie staan inmiddels op één. Her en der wordt zelfs gespeculeerd over een fusie met Musks andere bedrijf, SpaceX, vertelt mobiliteitsredacteur Hans de Jongh. Lees: Tesla boekt meer winst, maar valt vooral op met futuristische ambities Het is de belangrijkste exclusieve horlogebeurs van Zwitserland: Watches & Wonders. Alle bekende namen, Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe waren vorige week in Geneve aanwezig om hun nieuwste speeltjes aan de wereld te tonen. Kleinere horloges, technische snufjes en dunne stenen wijzerplaten zijn enkele trends. Ook aanwezig was Thomas de Heide, chef van FD Persoonlijk.

From the shores of Lake Geneva, Andy and Felix give their thoughts on all the highlights of Watches & Wonders 2026. From A. Lange & Söhne to Zenith and everything in between, we chat about why space is cool, and what it feels like to bicep curl 8kg of ethical gold, as well as why the subdial placement on the Santos de Cartier Chronograph is so good.   Of course, we also tackle our favourite models, and some we think missed the mark. Patek Philippe stood out, as did Cartier and IWC's out-of-this-world Venturer Vertical Drive. But we also talk about the behind-the-scenes things that make Watches & Wonders great, like the lack of AI slop and secret pizzerias.   Show Notes   Andy's visit to the Chopard Manufacture (1:52) Felix's thoughts on Patek Philippe (3:35) The revamped Santos de Cartier Chronograph (7:00) Alpine Eagle XPS (13:43) Vacheron Constantin Overseas Cardinal Points (14:20) Our thoughts on Rolex in 2026 (15:35) The Ulysse Nardin SuperFreak (20:00) Our thoughts on IWC's 2026 collection (23:19) The Tudor Royal (28:00) The JLC Master Control (34:45) The Chanel J12 Game (37:05) Show Notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes OT: Discord - https://discord.com/invite/X3Vvc9z7aV How to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/ot.podcast https://www.facebook.com/otpodcastau https://instagram.com/andygreenlive https://instagram.com/fkscholz Send us an email: otthepodcast@gmail.com If you liked our podcast, please remember to like/share and subscribe.

Gabe and Asher conduct the first-ever Openwork Watch Brand Draft — a snake-style, six-pick fantasy exercise where each host selects watch brands they'd want to own and operate across three categories: independent, micro/challenger (under $5,000), and mainstream luxury. Ground rules exclude AP, Patek, Rolex, Richard Mille, and any brand Collective Horology carries, keeping the conversation free of commercial conflicts and full of candid business analysis. The independent and micro picks reveal what Gabe and Asher value most in a watch business — from creative extensibility and succession planning to supply chain execution and untapped product categories. Some selections are love letters to brands already firing on all cylinders; others are driven by a conviction that the right operational changes could unlock serious growth. The hosts don't hold back on where they'd steer things differently if handed the keys. The mainstream luxury round sparks the sharpest strategic debate, with one pick framed as a direct competitive threat to Patek Philippe and the other as a brand with world-class watchmaking credentials that just needs permission to break out of a self-imposed design box. Plus, J.N. Shapiro joins the Collective Horology Open House lineup on June 6th in Hollywood — RSVP at collectivehorology.com/openhouse. 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. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can find us online at collectivehorology.com. To get in touch with suggestions, feedback or questions, email podcast@collectivehorology.com.

In this episode of the Collectability podcast, Tania Edwards is joined by Reginald Brack, Senior Vice President and Head of Department for Freeman's Watches, and John Reardon, to discuss one of the most extraordinary pocket watches to come to market in recent memory: the gold Tiffany & Co.-signed Patek Philippe pocket watch owned by John Jacob Astor IV, recovered from his body following the sinking of the Titanic.John Jacob Astor IV was widely regarded as the wealthiest passenger aboard the Titanic. He helped his pregnant wife into a lifeboat, remained behind, and did not survive. The watch was purchased through Tiffany & Co. in 1904, remained within the Astor family for more than a century, and is supported by documented recovery, continuous family ownership, expert authentication, and an Extract from the Archives from Patek Philippe.In this conversation, Tania, Reginald, and John discuss the provenance, the history, the watch itself, and what it means to hold an object that connects so directly to one of the most famous nights in modern history.The watch and pencil will be offered at Freeman's in Chicago on April 22, 2026, with an estimate of $300,000 to $500,000 for the watch and $10,000 to $20,000 for the pencil.If you enjoyed this episode, please like

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we discuss underrated vintage brands that are worth a long look. We've had these types of chats before, but it's always nice to see what we've missed. You'll hear some familiar names today, as well as about some smaller companies that could be new to you.While both of us have a penchant for vintage Rolex, Heuer, and other well-known marques, our love for vintage brands is universal. Whether it's a cool piece from a one-hit wonder or an everyman's watch company that made some seriously good stuff, we're up for it. Today, we'll mention some oft-overlooked opportunities to grab some of that vintage goodness.HandgelenkskontrolleWe begin our show with a discussion about Mike's home state, Florida. Then, we move on to television, where Balazs has been watching Tehran, Hijack, and His & Hers. Meanwhile, Mike has engaged his '90s youth with Love Story. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing his trusty vintage Rolex 5513 Submariner after his latest journey. Mike has been exploring modern watches lately due to the never-ending rain in the UK. This week, he's wearing his Aquastar Benthos H2.Vintage brands worth looking intoThere are fantastic opportunities within the watch hobby to enjoy great pieces at an affordable price. Sure, a vintage Rolex or Patek Philippe is a wonderful thing to own. However, with high prices, scary fakes, and the risk of loss as ever-present concerns, it's worthwhile to look elsewhere. Today, we're focused on vintage brands that don't get much attention but still offer loads of value and satisfaction.We start our discussion with Bulova, a once-mighty Swiss-American brand that's thriving again under Citizen's ownership. Still, aside from a few pricey key chronographs and dive watches from the 60s, this high-volume brand has some gems that are very easy to find and affordable. With in-house movements and enough styles to fill a museum, there's likely something for everyone.Roamer is another brand that receives almost no attention from collectors. This is a shame because the company made some truly high-quality and uniquely designed watches. Signed crystals, monobloc cases, and NSA bracelets are just some of the goodness one can find.Wittnauer is another interesting case. Longines formerly owned the brand, and it is now another entrant in the Citizen stable. Here again, aside from a few select chronographs and an interesting electronic watch, there are oodles of fantastic references available for little money. In particular, see the military or military-inspired pieces.Loads of optionsWe also discuss another Swiss-American brand, Gruen. From the Curvex to later models, there are plenty of great options. Similarly, check out bygone house brands from American jewelry and department stores. Companies such as Baylor (a Zales brand) or Le Gant (from Montgomery Ward) are often great places to find watches from more famous marques, like Heuer.Finally, there's Mido, a brand that used fancy

Watches & Wonders is less than a month away, so for episode 32 of the SJX Podcast we're talking about what we'd want to see from some of the major brands like Patek Philippe, Grand Seiko, and Tudor. It's always difficult to make predictions, and the best releases from every year are usually a surprise, but Andrew put together a few picks that we believe would be crowd-pleasers, were they to be made.SJX and Brandon also discuss the latest minute repeater from Girard-Perregaux, and SJX's own collaboration with Habring²: the Chrono-Felix Medicus chronograph.Show notes:1:00: Patek Philippe3:00: Grand Seiko4:20: Tudor7:30: Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Flying Bridges11:30: Habring² x SJX Chrono-Felix Medicus Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we address a listener's question about price transparency in the vintage market. Does it exist, and if not, how should a new collector navigate these murky waters? Listen in as we take a long look at this interesting topic.After last week's episode about what happens when a previously undervalued brand gains attention, we decided to focus on another deep topic. This time, we pick a listener's suggestion and discuss price transparency in the vintage watch marketplace. Thanks to Tachytales for the suggestion, and thankfully, we've got a lot to say!HandgelenkskontrolleWe begin our discussion with discussions about TV shows. The second season of Paradise is a must-watch. Then, we discuss the Oscars and several of the movies featured during the annual award show (yes, we made a mistake about Sinners winning the Best Picture award). Balazs has just returned from a business trip in Miami, and he has plenty to say about the weather, the clothing, and the Miami Heat. While there, he also had the chance to check out the latest Omega Speedmaster Professional "Reverse Panda" in steel. Regarding the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike is wearing the Aquastar Benthos H2, a great watch for the rainy weather in London. Balazs brought a trio of watches to Miami and has opted for the one he wore the least. Today, he's donning his Rolex Submariner 5513.Price transparency in the vintage watch marketFor our main topic, we attempt to answer a faithful listener's question about market pricing for vintage watches. Yes, it can be difficult to know what to pay for a given watch when prices are all over the map. The same is true when past sales prices are challenging to find. And what about dealers who seem to charge a lot more than others?First, we understand that some collectors of vintage watches are more comfortable taking risks than others. Still, we advocate research ad nauseam until purchasing feels like less of a gamble. Frankly, we feel that some watches are worth paying a dealer premium for, while others are more apt for finding on a site like eBay or at a local auction. For example, we'd likely refrain from buying an older Rolex or Patek Philippe on a whim.Of course, there are other considerations, such as condition and service history. Some dealers specialize in museum-like new-old-stock pieces, which garner premium prices. Others ensure that all watches have received a full service before sale, a costly feature that isn't insignificant for an older timepiece.We always come back to doing one's homework, but it's not just about the watches. More than ever, we've seen a surge in Instagram-based dealers with dubious credentials. Digging deep to learn about their reputations, the watches they're selling, and even checking if commenters are always the same are sound tactics. In the end, though, there are few absolutes on the pricing of vintage watches. If a watch is honest, in your price range, and desirable, then it's probably a good buy.We hope you enjoy today's show. Feel free to leave us your comments below, and don't hesitate to suggest any additional show topics. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air. This week, we hop into our time machine and travel back 10 years to 2016. As we'll see, in some ways, this wasn't so long ago. Yet, in others, it was a different lifetime. Join us as we look back on fonder days.HandgelenkskontrolleIt's been a while since we've recorded, and much of this is down to Mike's travels in Germany. Sadly, on one of the trips, he had a very Balazs-like travel experience involving planes and trains. If he did have a time machine, he'd probably go back and choose to sleep through his alarm that day. We mention an upcoming Sotheby's auction featuring a pair of Michael Jordan's shoes from the Dream Team Barcelona Olympics. Balazs discusses the return of The Night Manager, a show that, coincidentally, has returned after its first season in 2016! For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing an upcoming release, the Nivada Grenchen F77 MKII. Mike was wearing his Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 "Great White" in Germany and still has it on his wrist.Taking our time machine back to 2016Yes, it's hard to believe that 2016 was 10 years ago! Time flies! In this episode, we're reminiscing about a year that brought some interesting releases and behavior. Specifically, vintage watches were within a boom period. In particular, a Patek Philippe 1518 sold at Phillips for over CHF 11 million! It was hard for us to believe that watches were achieving these sums a decade ago.Many new watches from back then still feel relatively modern, but there's no doubt that larger diameters and chunkier cases were in vogue. The Blancpain Bathyscaphe Blue and Ceramic is a good example of this, but to be fair, the same basic platform is still in the catalog today. Speaking of big and robust watches, Robert-Jan reviewed the Sinn U212, which still looks fresh. If we truly want to feel old, Tudor was already in its second year of offering non-ETA movements. Omega launched a rare box-office stinker with the blue and white CK2998, a piece that has aged quite well.Our time machine continues its journey and finds the wild Hublot Big Bang Berluti, which was available in gold or steel and showed off a leather dial. Seiko, announced a partnership with PADI. This caused a stir, and several of us on the team grabbed one of the new models. TAG Heuer announced a Monza PVD, a retro chronograph with a thick case. However, we save the most significant announcement for last. Rolex, after producing steel Daytona 116500LN models with a steel bezel for over 25 years, introduced pieces with ceramic bezels. Understandably, the excitement was palpable and hit Basel like a hurricane. We remark that these watches have been unavailable since that time!We hope you enjoy today's episode. Share your watch memories from 2016 in the comments below, and let us know if we forgot any momentous pieces.

This week we're back with Bobby, who tells us about his Rolex Daytona Le Mans, Land Dwellers, Patek Philippe and a whole lot more!Big thanks to Bobby as ever for his time and company. Give him a follow on Instagram @ineedthatwatch

Recorded in Geneva, this episode of the Collectability Podcast brings together John Reardon and Tania Edwards for a revealing discussion about Alan Banbery, one of the most influential figures in the modern history of Patek Philippe.Alan Banbery spent 36 years at Patek Philippe and shaped the brand in ways that people may not know. From after sales service and exhibition design to watch aesthetics, historical scholarship, and the foundation of the Patek Philippe Museum, his influence extended far beyond his official role as an executive in the company.This podcast draws on Tania Edwards' three part editorial series, The Banbery Chronicles, which documents Alan's life and legacy in unprecedented detail. Together, John and Tania explore findings from each chapter of the series and explain why Banbery's story matters today.Topics include Alan's early life in wartime London and his training as a watchmaker in Geneva, his unexpected transition into high level watch and jewelry sales, and the ideas he introduced that would quietly reshape Patek Philippe's identity. These include the blue dial Ellipse, the naming of the Nautilus, the inclusion of museum pieces in exhibitions, and the true story behind his legendary, modified ref. 3448.The episode also covers the rarely told origins of the Patek Philippe Museum, beginning with Alan's personal collecting efforts long before the project became an institutional priority. Along the way, listeners gain insight into pivotal auctions, unrealized acquisitions, and the personal discipline that defined Alan's career. If you are interested in Patek Philippe's modern history, this conversation is essential viewing.

Tim and Armand take a look at the pilot watch category with brands like Patek Philippe, Breitling, Zenith, Sinn and more all discussed.

On this week's episode of The Business of Watches, a brand that's very much in the news. We're in Meyrin, just outside of Geneva, to talk to the head of Baume & Mercier, the near-200 year old brand that's just been sold by Richemont to Italy's Damiani Group. Michael Guenoun speaks passionately and with conviction about the pressures the brand faces due to the strong Swiss franc, rising costs, and its commitment to remaining in the approachable-priced segment of the watch market. Guenoun highlights the brand's rich history, its model lines, and its strategy for retail, distribution, and pricing. Recorded before the sale of Baume & Mercier was announced officially, we asked him if the brand was up for sale, and his answer is worth tuning in for. The conversation gives the listener a sense of where Guenoun and his team expect the brand to be and achieve under new leadership for a deal that's still short on details, but is expected to close this summer and take Baume & Mercier under a new corporate umbrella with a company that is based in Italy rather than in Switzerland like Richemont.But first, we're joined by a very special guest for his take on the latest business headlines in the watch world. Adrian Barker is the man behind Bark & Jack - the popular and influential YouTube channel and accessories shop selling straps, coffee mugs, and other products.  It's a big moment for Adrian as he's just about to launch his first watch collaboration - a dive watch with U.K. brand Christopher Ward. Adrian gives us the lowdown on what he learned from the collaboration process with the watchmaker and what he's doing with the design to make this very much an expression of his own personal taste and philosophy on what makes a proper watch. We also talk about Patek Philippe's recent decision to roll back prices in the U.S. in response to lower tariff rates, while implementing another price increase in other markets. Show Notes 0:57 Adrian Barker and Bark & Jack 1:34 Visit Glasgow 2:23 Christopher Ward 3:11 ETA SA 5:00 The story of Christopher Ward and CEO Mike France 9:20 Who Makes Christopher Ward Watches (Bark & Jack) 12:08 Bark & Jack products 14:05 Patek Philippe 17:37 Richemont Sells Baume & Mercier 20:04 Damiani Group 22:55 Michael Guenoun (World Tempus) 23:30 History of Baume & Mercier 25:25 Riviera collection (Monochrome) 26:51 Clifton Baumatic 28:00 Baumatic movement (Caliber Corner) 38:30 TimeVallee 45:30 As China Retreats And The U.S. Wobbles, Is India The Next Great Hope For The Luxury Watch Market? 49:20 Richemont maisons 53:55 Who wants to buy Baume & Mercier and why?55:04 Watches and Wonders 2026  

Recorded in Geneva, this Collectability Podcast episode features Edouard Henn, a regular contributor who has written seven in depth articles on Patek Philippe references spanning a wide breadth of interest for collectors.In conversation with John Reardon, Ed explores three modern vintage watches that collectors continue to love: the Patek Philippe ref. 5004, ref. 5070, and ref. 5970. Each one represents a distinct moment in the manufacture's modern history, and together they form a clear picture of how taste, design, and technical ambition evolved from the 1990s into the early 2000s.Ed shares the methodology behind his writing, combining long term auction data with close study of real world examples and period documentation. That research becomes the foundation for a deeper discussion of what matters to collectors today: how these references changed over time, where the most important nuances sit, and which details are most often misunderstood or overlooked.Articles written by Edouard Henn: ✍️ A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE: PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 5004 SPLIT SECONDS PERPETUAL CALENDAR https://collectability.com/learn/a-co... ✍️ A COMPLETE GUIDE TO PATEK PHILIPPE MINIATURE ENAMEL POCKET WATCHES (1950-2000) https://collectability.com/learn/a-co... ✍️ A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO THE PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 2597 HEURE SAUTANTE https://collectability.com/learn/a-co...✍️ A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO THE PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 5070 CHRONOGRAPH https://collectability.com/learn/a-co...✍️ A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO THE PATEK PHILIPPE CELESTIAL TIMEPIECES https://collectability.com/learn/a-co...✍️ IN-DEPTH: PATEK PHILIPPE RETAILER ANNIVERSARY PIECES https://collectability.com/learn/in-d...✍️ A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO THE PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 5970 https://collectability.com/learn/a-co...Follow Edouard Henn:   / edouard_henn  Shop for your favorite watches at the Collectability Shop: https://collectability.com/shop/ For more information please email: team@collectability.comLearn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.com Follow us on Instagram for regular updates:   / collectabilityllc   Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability

On this episode, we dig into reports that Patek Philippe may roll back U.S. retail prices—by as much as 8%—after last year's sharp tariff- and currency-driven increases. We break down why the math isn't as simple as tariffs going down and prices following, how import costs actually work at the wholesale level, and why this move raises uncomfortable questions for collectors who bought during the peak pricing window. We then zoom out to the broader issue of volatility. From shifting tariff policy to currency swings and geopolitical uncertainty, we explain why brands are being pushed into a kind of reactive, market-based pricing that's common for commodities but highly unusual for luxury watches. We compare Patek's approach with Rolex's more measured strategy and show how very different tactics can still land brands in roughly the same place over time. Finally, we look at what this all means for the secondary market. While headline data suggests pre-owned prices stabilized in 2025, we explain why that rebound is narrowly driven by Patek, Rolex, and AP—and why value retention for most watches continues to weaken as new prices rise faster than used ones. The takeaway: the market may look calmer on the surface, but underneath, volatility remains the defining feature.

 In this episode of the Superlative Podcast, host Ariel Adams speaks with John Isaac, founder, CEO, and creative director of Artisans de Genève, about what it truly means to personalize a watch at the highest level. John traces his journey from early restoration work in Paris to building one of the world's most respected bespoke watch ateliers in Geneva, shaped by his grandfather's philosophy of dedicating one's life to serving individual clients. The conversation explores why Artisans de Genève is not a watch brand but a complementary workshop, how legal and cultural realities shape the customization space, and why modifying iconic watches like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet requires deep respect for the original DNA. Ariel and John unpack the psychology behind skeletonization, the courage required for first-time customization, why pricing can't exist without a design process, and how true luxury shifts from transactional ownership to emotional experience. The episode also examines why customization is rarely a collector's first step, how personalization mirrors the car world more than traditional watchmaking, and why knowing the client, not the product, is the atelier's most valuable asset.Check out Artisans de Genève:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/artisansdegeneve/ Website - https://www.artisansdegeneve.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

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.

Luxury watches aren't just about time, they're about access, credibility, and opportunity.In this episode of Official Success Formula, Shawn sits down with Nabeel Soomro, founder of Timeless Time Pieces (Time by TMLS), to reveal the real business, psychology, and economics behind high-end watches like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, and Hublot Masterpieces.Nabil breaks down:-Why buying at retail can cost more than paying the gray market premium-How “Franken-watches” fool buyers, even on verified platforms-The hidden risks of ghost listings and secondary market traps-His journey from $6/hour to handling six-figure timepieces-How luxury watches act as a membership card into elite business circles-Why faith, humility, and discipline are the ultimate success multipliersThis episode is a masterclass in entrepreneurship, resilience, networking, and smart investing,  whether you love watches or want to understand how status symbols quietly shape business outcomes.

In this episode of Openwork, we talk with our sales director, Geoff Souder, about what fundamentally changes when you move from selling traditional luxury watches to selling independent brands. Drawing on decades of experience with mainstream names like Rolex and Patek Philippe, Geoff explains how scale and standardization create a polished but often homogenous retail experience, then contrasts that with the realities of independence—where there is no built-in foot traffic and every relationship must be earned. The conversation centers on how independent watches shift the meaning of ownership inward, away from status and recognition and toward personal connection, artistic intent, and patronage, ultimately reshaping not just how watches are sold, but how they're understood and valued.

This week, we have a fascinating chat with Adrian Buchmann, a veteran watch designer who's spent the last few years playing a key role in Christopher Ward's design department. We chat with Buchmann about how the famously accessible brand's design is evolving, why the Bel Canto and Loco mark a pivotal change, and what the challenges were in creating the new, super-slim The Twelve 660. Before that, we chat about Paulin's first dive watch, why Roger Dubuis might be the next big thing and Taylor Swift's Cartier Panthère. Fun fact, we recorded this before her engagement became public — so … maybe we made it happen?

You'll hear Oscar on the pitfalls of auctions, the dangers of sending watches back to manufacturers for servicing, and the challenges of spotting counterfeit pieces. They also explore the dynamics of watch brands like Hublot, Patek Philippe, and Rolex, discussing their market strategies and the impact of limited editions Oscar REVEALS: High-end auctions and vintage watch sales are rife with scams "Frankenstein" watches, which are modified with non-original parts Authorised dealers often require customers to purchase multiple watches or jewellery to qualify for the opportunity to buy highly sought-after models. Brands like Hublot and IWC have faced criticism for overproducing limited editions The importance of brand reputation and how it can impact resale value in the watch market. Authorised dealers may struggle to sell certain models, while grey market prices can be much lower than retail. BEST MOMENTS "The biggest scam in the watch market, I would say, is in auctions. If you don't know what you're doing with vintage watches, you can be scammed for millions." "A Frankenstein watch is when original parts are added to a watch to make it something that it originally wasn't." "I think it's actually suicide to send it back to the brands, especially if you're not really in with them." "Hublot, the fall off needs to be studied because essentially all that went wrong... is they started making limited editions, not even for football teams, but for players who had left the teams." "I believe that Rolex are that for watches. I also believe that they're the best value."

This is Matt Reustle. Today we are replaying our Breakdown of Patek Philippe. You never own a Patek Philippe. You merely watch over it for the next generation. I'll say it's the best marketing campaign in history, a campaign appropriate for the world's premier watchmaker and a watchmaker worthy of a Business Breakdown. Our guest today is John Reardon from Collectability. John has worked at Sotheby's, the auction house, and spent a decade at Patek Philippe in the early 2000s. He continues to write for Patek Philippe Magazine while he has launched Collectability, a brand dedicated to vintage and preowned Patek Philippe. We cover what makes Patek such a special brand. There is an almost 200-year history in craftsmanship and countless patents (like that self-winding mechanism that powers all automatic watches today.) What Philippe Stern did in 1989 could be worthy of a 10-episode series, so there is much to learn from this episode. Please enjoy this breakdown of Patek Philippe.

In Part 2 of Collectability's podcast with Hank Edelman, former President of Patek Philippe USA, we continue an extraordinary journey through six decades of watchmaking history, advertising, and brand storytelling.If you missed Part 1, be sure to watch or listen first (see link below) — it's a treasure trove of Patek Philippe history and fascinating personal stories that set the stage for this conversation.No one is better placed to share how marketing Patek Philippe in America has evolved since the 1960s than Hank Edelman. In the Mad Men era, Hank Edelman had a front-row seat with the creative geniuses of the time. He recalls how brilliant advertising lines were crafted by legendary ad man Seth Tobias, who worked closely with Patek Philippe USA President Einar Buhl.During the 1980s, Patek Philippe launched its first international campaign, starring the Calatrava ref. 3919. Hank Edelman explains how this model was created and why it became a symbol of elegance and timeless design.He also shares the origins of one of the most recognisable and longest-running watch campaigns ever:"You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely take care of it for the next generation." Discover how the Generations campaign came to life and how it became an essential part of the brand's identity.Today, Patek Philippe exhibitions are famous around the world, but many collectors may not realise these events started in the United States in the late 1960s. Hank Edelman recounts how these exhibitions introduced American audiences to exceptional timepieces and demonstrated what set Patek Philippe apart from every other watch brand. Even Warren Buffett became part of this rich history. In 1995, he held a white gold Calibre '89, captured in a photograph with the caption: "The six billion dollar man holds the six million dollar watch," which was featured in newspapers across the country.In this episode, Hank Edelman and John Reardon look back at some of the most memorable ads and moments from Hank Edelman's remarkable 60-plus-year career with Patek Philippe.Sit back and enjoy this rare glimpse behind the scenes of how Patek Philippe became one of the most respected names in fine watchmaking.Listen to Part 1:https://open.spotify.com/episode/4M3EWmgOAQY55PxFs3DTgq?si=yDCducfoSrqlbmkIPt-VzwShop for your favorite watches at the Collectability Shop: https://collectability.com/shop/Learn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.com Follow us on Instagram for regular updates: https://www.instagram.com/collectabilityllc/Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability
