Podcasts about Seiko

In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, the conversation goes everywhere, from politics and agriculture to undercover investigations and why competition is the only thing keeping farmers alive in today's economy. Logan and Bobby Lee break down the controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and the Epstein connections being discussed again in the news. The discussion then shifts to agriculture as James O'Keefe reportedly goes undercover at CattleCon targeting JBS, raising questions about transparency, corporate consolidation, and how media narratives shape the beef industry. The guys dig into a serious farming topic as well: how real competition tightens costs, forces efficiency, and ultimately determines which operations survive during tight margins in agriculture. It's an honest look at the financial pressure facing modern farmers and why efficiency matters now more than ever. Meanwhile, Logan battles through the episode while steadily losing his voice, making this one a little more raw than usual. They wrap things up with a conversation about legacy, why a real watch, like a Seiko, still means something in a disposable world, and how passing down meaningful items to your kids carries more value than anything new off the shelf. If you care about agriculture, rural culture, current events, and unfiltered conversations from real farmers, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

As regular listeners may know, in my free time, I'vbe been  researching Japanese washi. I'm looking for the "perfect paper," something that I can return to again and again in my own prints. It hasn't been straightforward. There's a lot of washi out there. A lot to test. A lot to understand. The search continues.   I'd like to introduce  you to a papermaking community in Saitama Prefecture, Japan — Ogawa Washi. In Ogawa and Higashi-Chichibu, papermakers have been producing washi for over 1,300 years with studios continuing  to operate there today.   I had the opportunity  to speak with Seiko Musashi; Ogawa washi exporter, art program coordinator, translator, about the history of the area, who is making paper now, and how these paper maing studios continue even as generations change and family lines shift.   We also talk about how Ogawa connects outward. In the past few years they've hosted longer, week-long workshops in mokuhanga and washi making. Including groups from RMIT University, University of Massachusetts Lowell, and earlier visits from the University of California Santa Cruz through connections with Terry McKenna and his Karuizawa Mokuhanga School. It's one of the ways this small papermaking community stays active and engaged with artists from outside of Japan.   Seiko has dedicated much of her life to sharing Ogawa's washi beyond Japan — and in our conversation, we reflect on what the future might look like for communities like Ogawa.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick is back in the hosting seat and joined by Ariel, Ripley, and David for a typical wide ranging conversation that moves from Japanese watch culture to retail power plays, with only a mild amount of chaos along the way. Ariel shares highlights from his recent trip to Tokyo, including how Seiko, Grand Seiko, Citizen, and Casio are presented at home, why Seiko currently wins the prettiest display contest, and what it feels like to stand in front of an entire rainbow of Mount Iwate dials. The team then dives into a deep discussion about Rolex and the growing pressure placed on authorized dealers, from costly boutique remodels to brand controlled retail experiences, sparking a lively debate about independence, real estate strategy, and who really benefits when luxury retail gets a facelift.From there, the episode rolls straight into Hit Miss Maybe, covering a new pilot inspired release from Oris, a lightweight Zagato concept from Chopard, and a technical deep dive into a high end Ferdinand Berthoud piece, complete with chain drives, constant force mechanisms, and strong opinions about skeletonization. The Brand Wheel of Death makes its long awaited return, putting Tudor and Tissot back in the spotlight, while Czapek quietly exists. Along the way, the crew debates value, design direction, and whether some brands need a 50 year timeout. The episode wraps with plenty of laughs, sharp industry takes, and just enough Brand Wheel energy to remind everyone that no watch company is ever truly safe.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!

Twan, Frederik en tafelgast Sjors (waar kennen we hem niet van?) blikken terug, prikken door nostalgie heen en leggen een paar ongemakkelijke waarheden op tafel. Over miskopen waar je liever niet meer aan denkt. Over waarom je soms gewoon moet klappen op het juiste moment — want timing is alles in horlogeland. En over die ene waarheid die elke verzamelaar vroeg of laat leert: bezit van de zaak is het einde van het vermaak.Sjors vertelt open over zijn eigen misstappen, waarom een Cartier er tóch maar niet komt, en hoe smaak zich ontwikkelt (of ontspoort). Ondertussen krijgt de PC – de Polscontrole – een glorieuze herintroductie. Wat dragen de mannen? En belangrijker: waarom?Tussendoor gaat het ook gewoon over het leven: waarom je beter Barbera d'Alba of d'Asti drinkt dan moeilijk doet met hypeflessen, waarom relativering gezond is, en waarom we Sjors eigenlijk… niet missen.Een aflevering vol zelfspot, realisme, koopmomenten en oude dynamiek.Sommige dingen veranderen nooit. Andere gelukkig wel.

En Puerto Rico hay fiebre con los relojes de lujo… pero la mayoría compra mal. En este episodio me siento con Ricardo “Rick” de Rick Watches (Joyería Montepiedad en Bayamón) para hablar claro del mundo de Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Cartier y el mercado de reventa en PR: qué comprar según tu ingreso, por qué un reloj puede ser “inversión en ti”, cómo evitar estafas/fakes y por qué NO vale la pena financiar un reloj.Hablamos de:Relojes para empezar (Tissot) y próximos pasos (Tudor/Omega)Cuándo hace sentido un Rolex y qué mirar antes de comprarRed flags de un reloj fake (tornillos, corona, bisel, detalles)Qué reloj brega mejor para PR (stainless steel)Caso TraxNYC y lecciones de reputación en la industria

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.

How did an industry survive a technology that should have made it obsolete? Aled Maclean-Jones explains to EconTalk's Russ Roberts how Japanese quartz watches nearly wiped out Swiss watchmaking with cheaper, more accurate alternatives--and how the Swiss redefined the value of a watch to recover market dominance. Maclean-Jones discusses the Japanese innovations that led to the Swiss industry's collapse; the brilliant decision by a pair of Swiss mavericks to change the narrative around mechanical watches; and the consolidation and standardization of Swiss watchmaking undertaken by Swatch founder Nicolas Hayek.

Matt is joined by new SOTP contributor and guest host Drake Moore,-aka @countsunnyhours - to discuss dive watch stalwart Doxa. While we are huge fans of dive watches over here, with pieces from Seiko and Omega, Blancpain, and the like, the fact remains that Doxa is undiscovered country for Matt. Luckily, Drake is a bit of a Doxaphile. He walks us through some highlights. Check it out, and thanks for listening!

Twan en Frederik schuiven deze aflevering aan met Fabian van Timeless Watches Belgium, en dat levert een open gesprek op over de horlogehandel — inclusief de kanten waar minder vaak over gesproken wordt.Hoe werkt de handel achter de schermen echt? Waar liggen de kansen, maar vooral: waar zitten de risico's? Fabian deelt ervaringen over prijsfluctuaties, grijze handel, authenticiteit, en de dunne lijn tussen slim inkopen en onnodig risico nemen. Hoe herken je betrouwbare deals? Wanneer is iets te mooi om waar te zijn? En hoe bescherm je jezelf als koper of verkoper in een markt waar vertrouwen en reputatie alles bepalen?Daarnaast gaat het over sourcing, marktwerking en hoe de tweedehands horlogewereld de afgelopen jaren is veranderd — van liefhebbersmarkt naar serieuze internationale handel.Een aflevering met eerlijke verhalen, praktijkervaring en een blik achter de schermen van een wereld die er van buiten vaak mooier en eenvoudiger uitziet dan hij is. Zoals altijd met nuance, meningen en de nodige relativering.

Summary:In this episode, we discuss the recent Louis Vuitton Watch Week, where we critique the new releases from TAG Heuer, particularly the larger Carrera models, and discuss the implications of size changes in watch design. We also touch on the competitive landscape of luxury watches, highlighting the challenges faced by brands like TAG Heuer and Zenith, and the need for these companies to adapt to market demands and consumer preferences.As the episode progresses, we delve into the complexities of brand identity and market positioning, particularly for Zenith, which we feel has lost its way. We discuss the importance of understanding consumer perceptions and the need for brands to innovate rather than simply rehashing old designs. Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and Listener Engagement03:45 Louis Vuitton Watch Week Highlights04:57 TAG Heuer's New Releases10:57 The Challenges of Luxury Brands19:25 The State of Zenith and Brand Identity40:10 Reflections on the Watch IndustryGive us a follow, and feel free to reach out to us on Instagram: @lumeplottersOr… leave us an audio comment using the link below, and we may just play it in an upcoming episode: https://www.speakpipe.com/lumeplotters

Deze aflevering schuiven Twan en Frederik aan met Guy van GenZ Watches — verzamelaar, horlogemaker en ondernemer met een duidelijke missie: goede horloges leuk, toegankelijk en no-nonsense maken voor een nieuwe generatie.Guy vertelt hoe hij bijzondere, vaak ondergewaardeerde modellen sourcet zonder dat je er meteen een nier voor hoeft in te leveren. Van bekende namen tot onverwachte keuzes zoals Baume & Mercier: het gaat niet om status, maar om horloges met karakter, kwaliteit en een goede prijs-waarde verhouding.Ze praten over vintage versus modern, hype versus inhoud, en waarom horloges uiteindelijk vooral moeten passen bij je stijl, je leven en je vibe — niet alleen bij een specsheet. Ook komt de rol van transparantie, community en het doorbreken van snobisme in de horlogewereld aan bod.Een aflevering over slimmer kopen, anders kijken en plezier houden in de hobby.Great watches, fun people — op z'n Tijdgenoten.

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the conversation opens exactly where it should for a new year: questioning whether the word “master” needs to be retired from watch naming altogether, before immediately veering into geopolitical hypotheticals, Swiss invasion logistics, and the undeniable truth that Geneva traffic would stop any army dead in its tracks. Once the dust settles, the group dives headfirst into Seiko's latest releases, kicking off a familiar round of “guess the price” that once again proves Seiko pricing remains as unpredictable as ever, with King Seiko, Prospex Speedtimers, anniversary models, and Astron pieces all seemingly priced by different departments that may or may not be speaking to one another. From there, the discussion broadens into material choices, marketing language, sustainability footnotes, and the growing frustration with watches that feel overexplained yet under-justified. The episode then shifts gears into a full-fledged Omega marketing rant, unpacking celebrity placements, perceived popularity, and whether the brand has stopped explaining why its watches are actually good, before reluctantly admitting that Omega still makes excellent watches despite the noise. Things spiral further into horological absurdity with a deep dive into ultra-high-end independent watchmaking, including Roger Smith's painstakingly handcrafted Series 6 and the realities of six-figure handmade perfection. The back half of the show fully embraces chaos with the return of the Brand Death Wheel, debates over which brands deserve resurrection or oblivion, and a surprisingly passionate detour into vacuum cleaners, industrial design, and why some machines, much like watches, are built to last while others are just shiny distractions. As always, the episode wraps with sharp opinions, running jokes, and the lingering sense that no matter how much the industry changes, confusion, contradiction, and spirited debate remain the true constants.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![00:00] Intro: Playing the "Guess the Seiko Price" game[00:48] Banter: Should "Master" be removed from watch names?[05:32] Discussion on new two-tone black and gold Seikos[09:50] Guessing the price: King Seiko KS1969[12:32] Critique of the new "movable lug" Seiko strap[13:51] Rant on "Leather Working Group" and sustainability marketing[17:25] Shock at the actual Seiko prices (Astron & Prospex)[20:10] Ariel's rant: Omega's celebrity-obsessed marketing[22:43] "Omega Corner": Trying to find technical positives for the brand[26:40] Review: Hautlence Sphere Series 3 (The "Muppet Strap")[31:23] Game: "Brand Wheel of Death" (Keep, Kill, Resurrect)[32:52] Brand 1: Brew Watches[33:16] Brand 2: Dornblüth & Sohn[33:43] Brand 3: Romain Jerome (Discussion on resurrecting it)[37:22] The Final Verdict: Resurrect RJ, Keep Brew, Kill Dornblüth[38:18] Tangent: The Kirby vs. Dyson vacuum cleaner debate[41:16] Highlights of the handmade Roger Smith Series 6[46:07] Browsing the Roger Smith configurator[48:20] Review: Atelier Wen Tantalum (Integrated bracelet)[54:45] Industry News: The decline of LVMH Watch Week events[56:14] Teaser: Ripley's upcoming review involving a tiny Hot Wheels car[57:44] Rating the episode's "Watch Content" vs. "Filler"[58:16] Final Debate: Kirby the vacuum vs. Kirby the Nintendo character[01:00:55] Closing remarks

Een nieuw jaar, een schone lei — en toch weer dezelfde drie aan tafel.Twan en Frederik luiden samen met Robert Jan Broer het horlogejaar in met de traditionele nieuwjaarsaflevering van Tijdgenoten.Waar gaat het horlogelandschap naartoe? Welke trends dienen zich aan, welke mogen wat ons betreft meteen weer verdwijnen? De mannen kijken vooruit: naar releases die we verwachten, verschuivende smaken, en de eeuwige spanning tussen hype en houdbaarheid.Natuurlijk gaat het ook over de eigen collecties. Wat blijft, wat mag weg, en waar wordt stiekem al ruimte voor gemaakt? Niet vanuit koopdrang, maar vanuit reflectie: waarom draag je wat je draagt — en waarom juist nú?Een aflevering over verwachtingen, realisme en horloges als metgezel door het jaar heen. Minder vuurwerk, meer richting. Maar wel met meningen, nuance en de vertrouwde dosis zelfspot.Het jaar kan beginnen.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 742! New year. New revelations: Dave's English! New releases: We kick off this episode by diving into Seiko's US-exclusive Prospex LX Spring Drive...

Send a textIn this episode of the FuturePrint Podcast, we explore an exciting new collaboration reshaping the future of industrial inkjet. Fabio Tallarico of Seiko Instruments GmbH and Jan Janhsen of Fraunhofer IPA join us to discuss how their organisations are working together to advance functional printing, high-viscosity jetting, and inkjet-based manufacturing.Following the closure of Seiko's in-house lab, the company sought a new approach to R&D — one that could provide scientific depth, hands-on experimentation, and access to advanced facilities. Fraunhofer IPA, one of Europe's leading applied research institutes, became the ideal partner.Together, the teams now collaborate on:waveform development and drop analysisprint testing across varied substrates and ink typesevaluating high-viscosity, conductive, UV, and water-based inksexploring jetting limits and application-specific performanceinvestigating new functional applications including adhesives, coatings, and 3D structuresFor Fraunhofer, the partnership ensures its research remains grounded in real industrial challenges. For Seiko, it broadens access to cutting-edge measurement tools, material expertise, and scientific knowledge — accelerating development of the next-generation RC2560 printhead.The conversation also highlights wider trends shaping industrial inkjet: the shift toward sustainable materials, increasing demand for functional layers, advances in additive manufacturing, and the future potential of AI in waveform optimisation and process control.This collaboration demonstrates how innovation grows faster when companies work together — sharing knowledge, testing boundaries, and combining scientific insight with practical engineering.A must-listen for anyone interested in industrial inkjet, functional printing, advanced manufacturing, or collaborative R&D.Listen on:Apple PodcastGoogle PodcastSpotifyWhat is FuturePrint?

Merry Christmas and welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air! We're back with an episode on Christmas Eve, and we're talking about our favorite Seiko watches of all time. That's a tough mission, but like Santa's job of delivering toys to all the children, we're up to the task! Grab some mulled wine, settle in by the fireplace, and enjoy the banter.Folks, we've been on the road for the last few weeks. America, Japan, and Germany are just some of the places we've been. However, we're back just in time for Christmas, and we're excited to talk about one of our favorite brands. Seiko has an impressive history and has made significant contributions to watchmaking. In this episode, we discuss our six favorite Seiko references. It wasn't easy, but we've somehow whittled it down to a handful and a thumb!HandgelenkskontrolleTo kick things off, we return to sneakers. We've been a little disappointed in the Nike and New Balance releases leading up to the holiday season. Balazs brings up a set of Chicago Bulls championship rings that sold at Sotheby's on December 12th for over $400,000. Mike then discusses the Imperial Fabergé Winter Egg that recently sold for $30.2 million at Christie's. It was on preview at Christie's in London before going under the hammer earlier this month. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing his lovely Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675. Mike is still addicted to his Ming 37.11 Odyssey on the Polymesh bracelet.Our favorite Seiko watchesIf you haven't figured it out, Seiko is one of our favorite brands. When reviewing its back catalog, the number of significant references is mind-boggling. There are an incredible number of amazing watches in so many genres. Somehow, we've boiled our list down to six favorites. Some are surprises, and some are not. Still, all are fun and worth mentioning. Our picks are:The 6139-7070, a fantastic reference showcasing Japan's first automatic chronographThe Grand Seiko 44GS, 4420-9000, is one of the most significant designs from the brandA King Seiko 5626-7000, a Hi-Beat legend still available at an amazing priceSeiko's Champion Alpinist J13043, an incredibly distinct model with a stunning dialGrand Seiko's modern collection, one of the most gratifying and well-designed lineups on the market todayThe Seiko 6215-7000, a watch that broke boundaries for the brand and set a design standard that persists to this dayWe hope you enjoy today's episode, and while we expect some controversy from our discussion, we'd love it if you would contribute to the comments section with your favorite Seiko references. Most of all, we wish you a safe and joyous holiday period and thank you for your endless support. We look forward to our next episode!

With the launch of Omega's newest release, the fourth generation Planet Ocean, we see a surge of positivity coming from all angles of the watch media. However, is this praise warranted, or is watch journalism simply biased?

In a truly special episode of Superlative, host and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams sits down with legendary comedian, television host, and renowned car collector Jay Leno for an in-depth conversation that bridges the worlds of horology, engineering, and cultural influence. Recorded inside Jay Leno's Garage, this episode explores Jay's lifelong fascination with mechanical objects, from vintage automobiles and Ford Model T's to precision watchmaking, as he shares how curiosity, craftsmanship, and hands-on involvement have shaped both his collections and his career. Jay reflects on his personal watch journey, from early pocket watches and Seiko to Jaeger-LeCoultre, Rolex, and A. Lange & Söhne, while offering thoughtful perspectives on why mechanical watches continue to matter in a world of modern technology. Along the way, the conversation touches on the parallels between cars and watches, the importance of understanding how things work, the role of collectors in preserving traditional crafts, and why true appreciation often comes from direct experience rather than status alone. With humor, insight, and rare behind-the-scenes stories, this episode stands out as a memorable and meaningful discussion with one of the most recognizable figures in entertainment, making it a must-listen for watch enthusiasts, car lovers, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of passion and precision.Stay updated with Jay and Jay Leno's Garage:- https://www.lenosgarage.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/nbcjayleno/ - https://www.instagram.com/jaylenosgarage/ - https://www.youtube.com/@jaylenosgarage SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Bob Phibbs joins Travis to break down why great retail is really about great human connection—and how that truth is even more important in an AI‑driven world. Known globally as “The Retail Doctor,” Bob has spent decades turning around struggling stores, training more than 250,000 associates, and helping brands like LEGO, Seiko, and Yamaha boost sales with people‑first systems that actually work in the real world. On this episode we talk about: How a paper route, cowboy‑boot sales, and a near‑dead coffee shop across from Starbucks led Bob to create “The Retail Doctor” and land a New York Times business feature The turnaround of a Long Beach coffee roaster that was down 10% a year for eight straight years and facing two nearby Starbucks—and how Bob helped it grow 50% in year one, 40% in year two Why so many retailers die: undertrained staff, no standards, commoditized experiences, and leaders who think customers (not employees) are the “greatest asset” The future of brick‑and‑mortar vs. e‑commerce, why online sales have likely capped around 20%, and how physical stores can win by focusing on discovery, experience, and real conversations How retail work “normalizes” young people—teaching responsibility, resilience, and people skills—and why every aspiring entrepreneur should spend time on a sales floor Top 3 Takeaways Products and locations don't win in retail—people do. Training front‑line associates to make shoppers feel seen, heard, and helped is the most reliable sales lever any store owner has. E‑commerce and AI will keep eating the easy, transactional parts of shopping, but brick‑and‑mortar thrives when it leans into what online can't replicate: laughter, serendipity, and genuine human connection. If you're serious about entrepreneurship, you should treat retail or customer‑facing work as a rite of passage; learning to open hearts and make someone else's day is foundational to making serious money later. Notable Quotes “It doesn't matter what I sell; it matters how the person feels when I'm standing in front of them.” “You're known more for your compromises than for your successes—especially in how you treat your people.” “If you can't get someone to open their heart to another human being, you're not going to make money, no matter what business you're in.” Connect with Bob Phibbs (The Retail Doctor): Website: https://www.retaildoc.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air! With Thanksgiving barely in our rearview mirrors, we decide to spend time giving thanks to the watch hobby. In this installment, you'll hear what we love so much about this addiction and why. Settle in for this candid chat.In honor of Thanksgiving, we figure that giving thanks is well overdue. Today, you'll hear a lovable Balazs talk about all the things he enjoys about collecting watches and the industry. Mike chimes in with a few of his thoughts. If you were expecting another list, don't worry; we'll be back soon with more controversy. For now, we're feeling festive, and we hope you enjoy it!HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off the episode with a chat about television shows. Mike has finally started the legendary British series Foyle's War and is enjoying it immensely. Balazs brings up another long-running classic, Endeavour. There's something special about these types of productions that feels very different from American programs. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike is wearing the Panerai he bought in 2002, the 40mm automatic PAM00048 Luminor Marina. Once again, Balazs is sporting his fantastic Rolex Submariner 5513. Yes, folks, larger watches are slowly making their way to our wrists!Giving thanksWe kick off our main topic about giving thanks in a natural spot. The community is where we begin, and while we mention it frequently, both of us feel more grateful than ever before. Wherever we travel, we seem to bump into listeners, watch fans, and genuinely friendly folks who are happy to grab a beer or a bite. You've made us feel welcome everywhere, including online, and it's part of what keeps us so excited about the hobby. Next, we talk about a rather childlike feeling that still drives us to stay involved. Frankly, we love the connection we have with brands and the ability to see models before they're released. It's probably not a surprise, but seeing watches before and after they've gone on sale is still a thrill.Another reason to be thankful is for the general creativity behind watches. Sure, some are better than others, but as vintage collectors, we constantly marvel at the aesthetic solutions found on our little marvels. In particular, our love of chronographs is mainly driven by their designs. The next reason for giving thanks may induce a groan, but we are deeply thankful for Rolex and Seiko. In many ways, these brands couldn't be more different, yet they're oddly very similar too. Most of all, each company deserves a lot of credit for keeping people interested in watches.Our final dose of appreciation relates to our love of microbrands and independents. We rarely talk about micros, but these companies are driving enthusiasm, innovation, value, and showing agility. Indies, on the other hand, are pushing boundaries technically and aesthetically. Plus, most are incredibly friendly, which is a lovely attribute.As always, thank you for listening! If you have any thoughts on future show topics, please feel free to let us know!

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we enter the depths and declare the greatest dive watches of all time. Yes, there are some expected entries, but we also offer a surprise or two. Enjoy the listen!While neither Balazs nor I dive, we've realized that the style of watch used for this activity has probably become the most popular genre. Not so long ago, a dive watch was relegated to casual and sporty environments. Now, these capable pieces, for better or worse, are worn everywhere. So, what made us want to take on a topic like the greatest dive watches? Well, we like to get people talking, so feel free to tell us why you agree or, more likely, disagree with our choices.HandgelenkskontrolleWith increasingly dreary and wet days, we've been enjoying a bit of television. Some interesting shows are on right now, including The Beast In Me, Pluribus, The Task, and The Outsider. We also briefly discuss sneaker news, a topic we haven't mentioned in a while. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike is on topic with the new Ollech & Wajs OW C-1000 Y, a release inspired by the original '60s Caribbean. Balazs is wearing his Fratello × Nivada Grenchen Racing Chronograph. Before moving on to our main topic, we take some time to discuss last week's long-awaited release, the new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean.The greatest dive watches of all timeFor certain, "the greatest dive watches of all time" isn't an easy subject to tackle. There are so many great candidates. From the innovative pieces in the '60s that were actually attempting to solve real-world issues to the wild movement and material updates that came in the later decades, it's a tough topic. Like many of our episodes, we didn't share our picks before recording, so, interestingly, we came up with some common thoughts. We challenged ourselves to choose three models per person, but gave ourselves some leeway due to shared picks. Get your pitchforks, or tridents, ready!It's impossible not to start a list of the greatest dive watches of all time with anything other than the Rolex Submariner. For us, it is the absolute king, bar none. In terms of quality, reliability, and reputation, it's impossible to beat. But there are plenty of other legends. The Seiko Tuna, particularly the original Grandfather Tuna 6159-7010 and the first Golden Tuna 7549-7000, brought innovation and an entirely new design language to the dive watch.Rolex, Omega, Seiko, and more!Omega enters the conversation with one of the most focused, purpose-built divers ever: the mighty PloProf. Yes, this watch is audacious, but it's an incredible piece of equipment that deserves its place on the Mount Olympus of dive watches. Seiko returns to the show with a watch that became a legend for its looks and approachable pricing, the 6309 Turtle.For our last two picks, we chose watches from smaller brands, but you'll have to listen to the episode to find out what they are! As always, thank you for listening to Fratello On Air! If you have any ideas for future show topics, please feel free to let us know.

La semaine dernière, avant d'enregistrer l'épisode #3 des Sessions Vintage que vous allez voir vendredi matin, je n'ai pu m'empêcher de passer voir mon ami Fabrice Pougez, CEO d'une marque que j'aime beaucoup : MAT, acronyme de Mer Air Terre.Une marque de montres outils professionnels que ce dernier fait vivre avec beaucoup de passion.Et dans ce milieu hyper concurrentiel de la montre outil accessible, il faut une sacrée dose de passion et une propension à se renouveler afin de savoir doser entre ce qu'on aime et ce que le public attend de tels produits.Or, là, depuis un an, MAT nous gratifie d'une gamme qui s'inscrit comme étant une parfaite synthèse de ces 20 ans d'expérience auprès des plus grands et prestigieux corps professionnels.Cette montre, c'est la Picobello.Une gamme qui concentre a elle seule tout ce que j'aime dans les "tools", ces montres ultra polyvalentes aussi à l'aise partout que partout !Or cette fin d'année signe l'agrandissement de la gamme Picobello grâce à un magnifique chronographe aux compteurs extrêmement bien intégrés.Mais dans cet exercice difficile, L'équipe de MAT ne s'est pas contentée de sortir un chrono classique, automatique. Certes beau mais trop onéreux pour beaucoup d'entre nous, surtout en ces moments où la prudence est de mise.Fabrice propose donc un chrono mécaquartz, abritant une base Seiko (serviçable à vie et ultra fiable), conservant les éléments qualitatifs ainsi que les specs d'une MAT et plus particulièrement d'une Picobello.Cette proposition lui permet d'offrir un chronographe à moins de 800€...720 pour être précis.On vous dit tout en détails dans ce mini-épisode capsule où transpirent la sincérité et la passion de notre ami Fabrice. C'est presque palpable par moments, mais vous constaterez par vous-même.D'ailleurs, si vous êtes de passage à Paris, n'hésitez pas à passer voir son show room et discuter avec lui. Prévoyez du temps en revanche..!18, rue Vignon Paris 9 ou www.merairterre.comBonne vidéo !Sachez tout d'abord que cet épisode est, comme d'habitude, disponible en version audio sur toutes les plateformes de podcast mais également en vidéo sur ma chaine Youtube Des Montres & Vous.Si vous aimez la chaine et son contenu, N'hésitez pas à liker, à vous abonner et à activer les notifications pour ne rien louper et pour aider DM&V à progresser.Liens utiles :Pour rejoindre Le Cercle, mon canal WhatsApp : https://whatsapp.com/channel/F96PntzE...Épisode #88 MAT, les toolwatch incontournables.

This week, we're really locked in on watches that you can actually afford without taking out a small personal loan or a non-essential organ. Andy and Felix start off by chatting about some recent bangers from Timex, Bulova and Seiko, before jumping into the main chat with co-founder of Earthen, Johnathan Chan. Earthen is a fresh face from Hong Kong, but its accessibly priced ceramic pilot's watches drew a lot of attention when they launched earlier this year. We chat to Chan about the story behind the brand, the finer details of ceramic watches and why accessible pricing matters.  The Timex Atelier (2:24) The Caravelle by Bulova Sea Hunter (6:43) The Seiko Rotocall (9:15) Main interview (11:30) Earthen Watches Earthen on Instagram Physical 100 on Netflix (43:30) K-foodie meets J-foodie (44:26) 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.

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we discuss the triumphant return of Seiko to the forefront of value-laden watchmaking. For some, perhaps the massive Japanese company never left. From our perspective, though, 2025 has been a turning point. We feel that the brand has truly listened to its fan base and the market. Listen along to why we feel this way and what else we'd like to see.After what felt like a lengthy period of offering chunky watches with big price tags, it seems that Seiko has made a triumphant return. Reasonably sized watches with prices that have held steady, while others have increased dramatically, are just a couple of our observations. Listen in and see if you agree with the rest of our thoughts on this fan-favorite watch brand.HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off our episode by celebrating Balazs's return from the Big Apple. There's even a little singing to get everyone in the mood! Then, we recall our recent discussion about the fortunes of several brands in five years. Mike envisions a slim 37mm Panerai dress watch with a manual-winding movement and crown lock. Could it work? Then, screen-related entertainment makes an appearance as we mention A House of Dynamite, Task, and Slow Horses. Finally, Balazs shares his thoughts on the recent watch events in New York City and a disturbing visit to a Rolex boutique in SoHo. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs has been wearing the Ming 57.04 Iris Chronograph and was flashing it around New York. Mike is keeping with the theme and is also sporting a Ming. The watch is currently under embargo, but it is coming out in November. Spoiler alert: it's fantastic!Seiko's triumphant returnIn 2025, we've seen some fantastic releases. The previously mentioned recent announcements resonated with fans. Earlier, watches like the Seiko 5 SRPL91 and SRPL93 "Gene Kranz" or the new Speedtimer models seemed to nail the brief. The market has been asking for smaller, thinner watches with slimmer, better bracelets. Seiko has delivered. Plus, while others continue to raise prices, Seiko has held the line, albeit at higher prices than seven or eight years ago. Still, the watches are competitive, attractive, and desirable. Sure, there's still work to do, especially related to movement accuracy, but we remain hopeful. Overall, it's nice to see one of our favorite marques pulling at our heart and purse strings again! Let us know if you agree with us on the company's triumphant return and what else you'd like to see from Seiko.As always, thanks for listening to the latest episode of Fratello On Air! If you have ideas for future shows, please feel free to let us know.

This week's episode opens with our hosts in recovery mode from another whirlwind of watch events in New York City. Between too many cocktails, too few hours of sleep, and an overload of new releases, they manage to squeeze in some insight into what makes this strange little world of watch collecting tick.Our recent watch-enthusiast survey gets dissected, revealing that the average collector spends less than you'd think, most of them also play guitar, and nearly everyone pretends to understand constant-force mechanisms. Cue a lively debate about integrated bracelets (“Free the bracelet!”) and why the supposedly sacred “three-watch collection” rule might be the dumbest idea the hobby ever produced.Omega's latest Speedmaster drops into the conversation like a well-timed meme — inspiring both awe and eye-rolls. The crew then takes a detour into rebranding gone wrong, using the fictional “Brahmot” as a case study in how to confuse your fanbase while trying to sound modern. Spoiler: Clear communication still matters more than Helvetica font choices.The discussion gets philosophical — and slightly unhinged — about consumer education, certification programs, and Seiko's website, which earns the definitive verdict: “Seiko doesn't run good websites.” Somewhere between talk of health insurance, music, and cultural references, the group concludes that the watch industry runs best on caffeine, optimism, and a bit of chaos.It's a fast, funny, and brutally honest ride through the watch industry's weird ecosystem — equal parts therapy session and roast. Whether you're rocking a Speedmaster or a Seiko 5, remember — collecting watches is supposed to be fun. Don't let your bracelet hold you back.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast 720! The updated Omega Speedmaster “Grey Side of the Moon” sparks debate, with impressive hand-wound movement and slimmer proportions, but a price hike that raises...
