This week on the SUPERLATIVE Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch founder, Ariel Adams, is joined by Lilian Thibault, founder of AWAKE Watches. They discuss the evolution of AWAKE and how the brand found its identity by embracing Métiers d'Art, traditional craftsmanship, and a more focused creative direction. Lilian explains why launching a watch brand may be easier than ever, while building one that lasts has become increasingly difficult. He also shares how AWAKE's handmade dials and use of techniques such as Vietnamese Son Mài lacquer have helped the brand offer collectors something distinctive at a more accessible price point.Ariel and Lilian also explore why watches have become expressions of personality and emotion, the freedom founder-led brands have to take creative risks, and why AWAKE has no ambition to become a high volume watch company. They discuss the growing appeal of independent brands, changing collector attitudes toward resale value, and the importance of creating a more personal relationship between brands and their customers. Lilian also explains how AWAKE searches around the world for talented artisans, why great craftsmanship is not defined by where it comes from, and how the brand plans to bring greater sophistication to its watches while remaining committed to Métiers d'Art and accessible pricing.Keep up with Lilian and AWAKE Watches:Website - https://awakewatches.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/awake.concept/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

The crew reacts live to an explosive first quarter on Monday Night Football as Case Keenum pilots the Chicago Bears to an opening touchdown march and a quick red-zone turnover against the Philadelphia Eagles. Turning back to the weekend's biggest storylines, the guys dish out the latest edition of "The Good, the Bad, and the Indifferent," highlighting Talanoa Hufanga's dominant pick-six outing, Justin Verlander's emotional farewell in Detroit, and Iowa's miracle touchdown to stun Michigan. On the flip side, they break down Seattle's defensive collapse against Marcus Mariota, cringe-worthy college football celebrations, and the bullpen opener craze taking over the MLB postseason, before wrapping up with Penn State's fourth-quarter implosion against Wisconsin and the J.J. McCarthy trade to the Giants.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, David, and Ripley are back with an episode full of watches that are cheaper, pricier, and considerably weirder than expected. The guys start with H. Moser & Cie. going digital before turning to the state of watch marketing and why so many brands seem to have forgotten how to keep the conversation going. They also consider whether Cartier could ever truly challenge Rolex and what it would take for the brand to get there.Then it is time for Rolex to break out the frying pan. The new Perpetual 1908 Padellone brings some real complication to Rolex's dressier side, along with a price that has the guys questioning just how far upmarket the Crown wants to go. From there, Hublot and Jeff Koons provide plenty to talk about with Balloon Dogs, sapphire, wild pricing, and exactly the kind of watches that guarantee a reaction. Finally, the crew dive into matching watches with NFL teams, debating some of the more questionable pairings, and they start plotting an equally dangerous watch brands versus car brands comparison for next time.To check out the ABTW Shop, where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!Key Chapters:[00:07] Intro and This Week's Opening Chaos[04:08] H.

This week on the SUPERLATIVE Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by longtime watch industry veteran Gary Girdvainis. Drawing on a career that stretches back to the early days of International Watch magazine, Gary reflects on decades spent inside the watch business and how dramatically the relationship between brands, media, retailers, and consumers has changed. Ariel and Gary discuss the realities behind watch journalism, the growing influence brands have sought over media, the shift from traditional publishing to today's crowded creator landscape, and why simply following the Swiss playbook does not always lead to success.The conversation also goes behind the scenes of the business itself, including Gary's experiences working alongside Danny Govberg, his time with Franck Muller, and what those roles revealed about inventory, distribution, marketing, and the less visible side of the Swiss watch industry. They explore why some European brands continue to struggle with the American market, the need for a major consumer facing watch show in the United States, and Gary's current work with Nivada Grenchen and FTS. The episode closes with a deeper look at American watch manufacturing, the enormous challenges of producing components domestically, and why building a truly Made in USA watch is far more complicated than it might seem.Keep up with Gary and learn more about his work with FTS and Nivada Grenchen:FTS - https://www.ftsusa.us/ Nivada Grenchen - https://nivadagrenchenofficial.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Come sempre, dedichiamo la prima parte della trasmissione all'attualità. Inizieremo con una notizia che sta dominando i giornali di tutto il mondo: la crescente richiesta di rallentare lo sviluppo dell'intelligenza artificiale. I responsabili dei principali laboratori dell'IA concordano sulla necessità di introdurre dei "limiti", ma i politici sono davvero disposti ad ascoltarli? Proseguiremo, poi, con una discussione su come l'islamofobia, seguita agli attentati dell'11 settembre, abbia favorito l'ascesa dell'estrema destra in Europa e negli Stati Uniti. Successivamente, parleremo della Giornata Mondiale per la Prevenzione del Suicidio, che ha richiamato l'attenzione su un grave problema di salute pubblica che colpisce milioni di persone in tutto il mondo. Infine, concluderemo la prima parte della puntata con gli US Open di tennis, terminati domenica scorsa.   L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è Irregular Comparatives and Superlatives: the Adverbs, che approfondiremo nel dialogo dedicato a una bozza di legge che il governo italiano sta elaborando per multare i pedoni distratti dal cellulare. Nel finale useremo l'espressione idiomatica del giorno: Vedere/non vedere di buon occhio, in un dialogo dedicato a un tema che riguarda molti genitori: a che età i figli dovrebbero iscriversi ai social? Scopriremo, insieme, cosa dice uno studio dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca. - I leader delle principali aziende tecnologiche statunitensi chiedono di rallentare lo sviluppo dell'intelligenza artificiale, ma la politica continua a discutere - Come l'islamofobia dopo l'11 settembre ha favorito l'avanzata dell'estrema destra in Europa e negli Stati Uniti - La Giornata mondiale per la prevenzione del suicidio richiama l'attenzione mondiale sulla salute mentale - Gli US Open regalano nuovi campioni, look da celebrità e commoventi addii - Il nuovo Codice della strada: il Governo pensa alle multe per i pedoni distratti - Studio Milano-Bicocca: iscriversi ai social troppo presto diminuisce il rendimento scolastico

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley are back to tackle watches that dazzle, watches that feel like furniture, and watches that may be listening to everything you say. The crew starts with a look behind the curtain at Dexel and the manufacturing capabilities that help make Formex such an interesting value proposition, including the cases, bracelets, clasps, and technology that often go unnoticed by consumers. Then things get considerably more colorful with the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dazzle, a watch that leaves absolutely nowhere for your eyes to rest. From there, Hublot takes titanium in an entirely different direction with the rubber coated Big Bang Original Soft Touch, prompting questions about scratches, lint removal, carpeted watches, and whether anyone really needs a softer Big Bang. The Hublot conversation also leads into the latest Nico Leonard and Christopher Ward drama, the internet's long history of hating Hublot, and whether the Big Bang should simply be reinvented from scratch.The conversation then turns to aBlogtoWatch's upcoming 20th anniversary and Ariel's plans for brands to create watches inspired by the occasion, including one particularly unusual idea involving 5,000 year old fossilized tree rings. Apple enters the chat with its latest Apple Watch technology, including the ability to continuously listen, transcribe conversations, identify speakers, and generate meeting notes, which naturally makes everyone feel completely comfortable and not at all concerned. The guys also dig into the complicated relationship between watch media, auction houses, and charity auctions before wrapping things up with Louis Vuitton's latest Tambour Spin Time collection, including an extravagant world timer and opal model. Along the way, expect the usual detours into watch industry drama, questionable materials, smartwatch rivalries, and exactly how much technology you really want listening from your wrist.To check out the ABTW Shop, where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!Key Chapters:[00:00:07] Welcome and Opening Banter[00:07:41] Inside Dexel and How Formex Watches Are Made[00:18:53] Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dazzle[00:25:32] Hublot Big Bang Original Soft Touch[00:31:59] Nico Leonard, Christopher Ward, and Watch Industry Drama[00:41:25] aBlogtoWatch's 20th Anniversary Watch Plans[00:45:34] Apple Watch Ultra 4 Is Listening[00:47:48] Apple Watch Series 12 and Ceramic[00:52:06] The Hermès Apple Watch and Its Price[00:57:29] Watch Auction Houses and Charity Controversy[01:02:15] What Happened to Only Watch?[01:05:43] Louis Vuitton Tambour Spin Time[01:09:46] Garmin vs. Apple Watch

This week on SUPERLATIVE, Ariel Adams is joined by Thomas J. Sandrin, founder of WatchDNA, to discuss what defines a watch brand and how consumers navigate an industry with more choices than ever. Thomas shares his journey from more than a decade with the Swatch Group and Hamilton to earning his MBA and launching Northern Watch Services and WatchDNA. He explains the thinking behind WatchDNA, an educational platform built to help enthusiasts discover brands, understand the people and history behind them, and make more informed decisions without blurring the line between education and selling.Ariel and Thomas also explore why a strong sense of identity matters for watch brands, the growing challenge of knowing who to trust for watch information, and the role independent retailers continue to play in the buying experience. They discuss how social media has changed perceptions of expertise, why relationships and third party validation remain important in the watch industry, and why the ability to experience a watch in person still carries so much weight. Thomas also explains how WatchDNA is developing tools to connect consumers with retailers and make discovering and comparing brands easier in an increasingly crowded watch market.Learn more about Thomas and WatchDNA:WatchDNA Website - https://watchdna.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/WatchDNA/ - https://www.instagram.com/thomasjsandrin/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

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

This week on the Superlative Podcast, Ariel Adams is joined by Nate Borgelt, Head of Watches at Joopiter, to discuss the evolving world of watch auctions and how a new generation of collectors is changing the market. Nate shares his path through Christie's, Patrizzi & Co., Antiquorum, and Sotheby's, along with the experiences and mentors that shaped his perspective on watches and the auction business. He also explains what drew him to Joopiter and how the auction house is approaching curation, accessibility, and collectibility differently from more traditional players in the space.Ariel and Nate explore how the growth of online marketplaces, social media, collecting communities, and private sales has transformed the way watches are discovered, bought, and sold. They discuss the challenge of bringing attention to great watches that fall outside the usual Rolex and Patek Philippe conversation, the importance of giving collectors context around what makes a watch interesting, and the opportunities created by curating watches alongside other areas of culture and collecting. Nate also discusses Joopiter's connection to founder Pharrell Williams, its efforts to make auctions more approachable, and why provenance and personal connections can make private consignments especially compelling.Learn more about Nate and Joopiter:Joopiter Website - https://www.joopiter.com/ Nate on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanielborgelt/SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Chris hat mal wieder eine Idee. Und wenn Chris eine Idee hat, kann es für Markus schon mal etwas größer werden. Diesmal geht es nach Rom zu Ultimo. Und zwar nicht zu irgendeinem Konzert: Am 4. Juli 2026 feiern 250.000 Menschen auf dem Gelände von Tor Vergata einen Abend der Superlative. Und Chris war mittendrin. Er nimmt Markus und euch mit in diese unglaubliche Kulisse und erzählt, wie es sich anfühlt, wenn eine Viertelmillion Menschen gemeinsam singt und feiert. Ein Konzertbericht voller Emotionen, Gänsehaut, italienischer Leidenschaft und natürlich jeder Menge Musik. Doch vorher gibt es Neuigkeiten von Markus: Vinylopresso hat Nachwuchs bekommen. Mit „Zwischen KI und Kaffee“ ist ein neuer Tochterpodcast entstanden. Dort geht es um Künstliche Intelligenz, IT, E-Commerce, Meta und Google Ads und die Frage, was von all den großen digitalen Versprechen im echten Alltag wirklich funktioniert. In dieser Folge treffen damit zwei Welten aufeinander: Künstliche Intelligenz und italienische Emotionen. Erst KI und Kaffee, dann mit Chris mitten hinein in 250.000 Menschen nach Rom.

In the one hundred and twenty fourth episode, Roy and Rob give their thoughts to how the finalized 53-man roster shook out as well as the who the team was able to bring back on the practice squad.

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

This week on the Superlative Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by Ahmad Shahriar, a longtime watch industry executive who currently works alongside Samir Shah representing Arnold & Son, Angelus, and Favre Leuba in North America. Ahmad reflects on his career with brands including Ulysse Nardin, Blancpain, and Breguet and explains why having passionate, accessible people behind a watch brand is so important. They discuss how relationships influence collectors, why independent brands are connecting with enthusiasts, and how Ahmad's current role has allowed him to return to a more personal and hands-on approach to the watch business.Ariel and Ahmad also explore the differences between working for independent brands and large corporate groups, including the challenges that can arise when decisions are made far from the markets they affect. Ahmad shares his experiences with corporate micromanagement, the importance of giving local teams the autonomy to make decisions, and why focusing too heavily on numbers can come at the expense of passion. They also discuss changing collector expectations, the importance of celebrating both products and people, and why strong relationships may ultimately be one of the watch industry's most valuable assets.Learn more about Ahmad Shahriar and the brands he represents, including Arnold & Son, Angelus, and Favre Leuba:- https://www.arnoldandson.com/ - https://angelus-watches.com/ - https://www.favreleuba.com/ Ahmad on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmad-shahriar-6709774/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

On the eve of the PLL Quarterfinals, IL's Kevin Brown and Chris Rosenthall welcome back friend of the pod Rob Pannell to preview the Maryland Whipsnakes-Boston Cannons matchup. The newly minted all-time career points leader looks for his second title in leading a youthful offense to an upset against a red-hot conference rival. From a favorite RP3  playoff memory to how he has prolonged his career to what it's like playing at age 36 alongside a player like 23-year-old Joey Spallina who grew up idolizing him, it's a fun interview filled with respect for the game and his playoff counterpart, Marcus Holman, who Pannell says is playing the best lacrosse of his career at age 35.Rosie and Kevin start with some big-picture playoff outlooks, provide some takeaways to Gavin Adler's appearance on the Stick Talk Podcast, preview both PLL Quarterfinal matchups and provide their predictions. The two end the episode dishing out some rapid-fire End of Season Award takes via a "Buy OR Sell" segment before giving some season superlatives quick-hitters.

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

Here at Anchorpoint, we believe that the gospel message is the greatest story every told. The message itself never grows old. It tells us the most glorious, yet relevant truths we need to hear today. And people need to hear it. In our message today, speaker Dan Shutt takes a look at God's way of salvation in four different ways – all of them illustrating the superlative nature of what it presents - the greatest possible blessing, the fullest possible invitation, the simplest possible terms, and the highest possible authority. That's the gospel, my friend! Will you believe it? 

⭐ Start improving your English today! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about the Academy.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Every month, I like to bring back one of my favorite episodes from the past, and this one is an oldie but a goodie. ❤️ Some longtime listeners might remember my dad, Joe. He first appeared on the podcast in Episode 43, when he talked about his experience living and working in Alaska, and again in Episode 44 to talk about driving in the U.S. After those episodes came out, so many of you told me how much you enjoyed listening to him, so naturally, I had to bring him back! In this conversation, my dad and I talk about some of the best, worst, biggest, smallest, and most memorable things in his life. It's lighthearted, funny, and without us even trying, full of English idioms. That's simply the way my dad talks! Since he speaks clearly and uses lots of everyday expressions, this is also a great episode for practicing how to understand idiomatic English from context. The main grammar focus is superlatives. What is a superlative? We use the superlative form to talk about the highest or lowest degree of something within a group. For example: Our tree in the front yard is the tallest in the neighborhood. There is no tree in the neighborhood taller than ours. Ours is the tallest. As you listen, pay attention to superlatives like the best, the worst, the biggest, the most beautiful, and the most difficult, and enjoy getting to know my dad a little better along the way.

This week on the Superlative Podcast, Ariel Adams is joined by Oscar Chabrat, founder of Praesidus Watches and Chief Marketing Officer of the Montrichard Group. Oscar takes Ariel behind the scenes of the watch industry to explain how Montrichard evolved from a traditional B2B manufacturer into a global operation involved in manufacturing, marketing, and a growing portfolio of watch brands. They discuss the realities of watch production, why so many brands rely on outside manufacturing partners, the challenges of inventory and movement lead times, and how a more flexible approach to production can help brands respond to a rapidly changing market.The conversation also explores the changing economics of the watch industry, from the decline of traditional fashion watches to the rise of microbrands and increasingly aggressive luxury watch pricing. Oscar and Ariel discuss why brand recognition can command a premium, how informed enthusiasts evaluate value differently, and whether AI could change the way consumers discover and compare watches. Oscar also shares the story behind Praesidus, from its roots in recreating a WWII veteran's lost A11 watch to the role storytelling continues to play in the brand today. He also looks ahead to the next stage of Praesidus as it moves beyond familiar WWII inspired designs and into a new generation of more modern watches, offering a glimpse at how the brand plans to evolve while staying true to what made it successful.Learn more about Oscar, Praesidus Watches, and the Montrichard Group:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/praesidus.watch/ - https://www.instagram.com/oscarchabrat/ - Websites - https://montrichardwatch.com/ - https://praesidus.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

We begin with a brief interlude to speak to the life of Dolly Parton. Then we dive into the message the SEC is sending about player eligibility. We dive into five QB battles that have been settled at Tennessee, Bama, Vandy, Florida and Arkansas. Then we offer some season superlatives in the way we know how. Braden Gall and Trey Wallace talk SEC sports.

If you've been studying English for a while, I'm sure you remember learning basic comparatives and superlatives and seeing expressions like 'bigger than', 'more expensive' and 'the best/worst' in your coursebook. But native speakers don't stop there! At a more advanced level, if we want to say that something is better, we might say, 'significantly better', 'far more interesting', a great deal better' or 'by far the best'. These words are called modifiers because they change the strength of the comparison, and in this episode you'll learn some common advanced modifiers and how to use them in English.  Show notes and more podcasts to improve your English at: http://www.inglespodcast.com/   Las notas del episodio y más podcasts para mejorar tu ingles están en: http://www.inglespodcast.com/

This week on Superlative, aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams is joined by author and journalist Gabe Oppenheim to discuss his book Borrowed Time and the complicated history behind the modern watch industry. Gabe explains how his research into intellectual property led him deep into the history of Swiss watchmaking, including the relationship between watch companies and the Swiss government, the decline of American watch manufacturing, and the origins of what consumers understand as “Swiss Made.” He and Ariel explore how politics, competition, and industry cooperation helped shape the watch world we know today.The conversation also turns to Chinese watchmaking and counterfeiting, the importance of independent watchmakers, and the information gap between luxury brands and consumers. Gabe argues that understanding where watches come from, how they are made, and who actually contributed to their creation can make collectors more informed without taking away from their appreciation of watches. Together Ariel and Gabe discuss looking beyond marketing, celebrity ambassadors, and prestige to better understand the history, mechanics, and people behind the products collectors love.Learn more about Gabe and his newest book:- Website - https://www.gabeoppenheim.com/ - Check out his book: Borrowed Time - https://a.co/d/02tvLSO0 SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!
