Dive headfirst into the surprisingly cutthroat world of luxury watch intellectual property battles where the stakes are as high as the price tags. From Swiss ateliers to Silicon Valley boardrooms, the gloves come off when horological heavyweights defend their creations against customizers, competitors, and counterfeiters alike.When does personalization cross into infringement? The Rolex cases against Artisans de Genève and Becker Time reveal the fine line between owning a watch and owning its identity. We explore how courts have split hairs over modified dials, aftermarket bezels, and what it truly means for a timepiece to be "genuine" in the eyes of trademark law. Meanwhile, Vortic's vintage Hamilton restoration saga offers hope for artisans who respect heritage while creating something new.The battlefield extends beyond physical watches into digital domains. Samsung faced Swatch Group's wrath over app store watch faces mimicking luxury dials, while Richemont convinced courts to make internet service providers block counterfeit websites altogether. Even tech giant Apple wasn't immune when Swatch cheekily registered "Tick Different" and "One More Thing" trademarks, leaving the Cupertino company with no choice but to rebrand their smartwatch.Perhaps most fascinating is Audemars Piguet's global quest to protect their revolutionary Royal Oak design—a struggle revealing how difficult it is to claim exclusive rights to shapes that have defined entire categories. And as watches evolve into health monitors, AliveCor's patent war against Apple Watch's ECG feature shows us what happens when traditional horology collides with cutting-edge medical technology.Whether you're a watch enthusiast, legal professional, or simply fascinated by the intersection of luxury and law, these cases illuminate five timeless principles governing intellectual property in the modern marketplace.

Rick is bouncy-bright this morning, Ripley is clapping concrete, and Ariel is wearing a concrete watch — so don't ever say we aren't coordinated! David draws a line about what he will and won't look at on the shared screen. ABTW Week #176 begins as such. The guys set about analyzing the nomenclature of the new Grand Seiko Tentagraph, and David offers some suggestions for improvement. On to the Chrono 25. More watch for less? Listen in to find out if that's a thing. When talk turns precipitously to the touchy subject of outsourcing, Rick asks whether the Swiss have outsourced themselves into irrelevance. It's all eyes on David where Chopard is concerned. (Spoiler alert: He really likes this brand!) The vibes turn to underwhelm when the spotlight is placed on the new pastel Blancpain. Is it a Swatch? Or is it a watch that costs as much as a new home? Sad that we have to ask. The mood is redeemed with an invigorating few rounds of Hit, Miss, Maybe.

5/8 The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of XI Zhongxun, Father of XI Jinping Hardcover – 3 June 2025 by Joseph Torigian (Author) https://www.amazon.com.au/Partys-Interests-Come-First-Zhongxun/dp/1503634752/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 1949 XI ZHONGXUN China's leader, Xi Jinping, is one Cf the most powerful individuals inCtheCworld--and one of the least understood. Much can be learned, however, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913-2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao's death. He led the Party's United Front efforts toward Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence, he ultimately supported the Party's crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters. The Party's Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People's Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one's own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping's father, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational, ideological, and coercive power of the CCP--and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it.

The first time I covered this massive board game event was back in 2018. It was well-established at the Birmingham NEC by then, sprawling across halls 1, 2, 3 and 3A. During the COVID pandemic in 2021 and 2022, I skipped the show, but since 2023, I have attended again every year.

School's just about out and we're ALMOST officially in summer, and the Fishes are diving into wedding season — the good, the bad, and the budget-breaking. From bridesmaid dresses you'll “totally wear again” to $750 trial hair appointments, the sisters reflect on how weddings have changed and whether they're still worth all the fuss. Plus, Kathy shares a real-life Italian wedding menu made with 4,500 hand-rolled gnocchi (and yes, you get the recipe).They also tackle Bush Apple Beer (aka BAPL), the return of the Swatch Watch, customer service fails, and whether it's tacky to charge your wedding guests admission. Spoiler: it is.What's for Dinner: A sweet story and the gnocchi recipe from Isabella and David's wedding. Perfect for a cozy night in with your partner… or a really ambitious weekend project.
Joe's starting some volunteering work which involves a bit of running, so he tells David about that. He's also wondering if a friend of his thinks he's a bit of a prat - so they have a deep dive into all that too. Plus, Joe's new phone app, David does some impressions and they chat about Swatch watches and confident people they knew at school. Classic Chatabix drivel - lovely!

CLOSE OF THE COLD WAR: 1/4: The Picnic:A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain by Matthew Longo (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Picnic-Dream-Freedom-Collapse-Curtain/dp/0393540774/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists organized a picnic on the border of Hungary and Austria. But this was not an ordinary picnic―it was located on the dangerous militarized frontier known as the Iron Curtain. Tacit permission from the highest state authorities could be revoked at any moment. On wisps of rumor, thousands of East German “vacationers” packed Hungarian campgrounds, awaiting an opportunity, fearing prison, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The Pan-European Picnic set the stage for the greatest border breach in Cold War history: hundreds crossed from the Communist East to the longed-for freedom of the West. Drawing on dozens of original interviews―including Hungarian activists and border guards, East German refugees, Stasi secret police, and the last Communist prime minister of Hungary―Matthew Longo tells a gripping and revelatory tale of the unraveling of the Iron Curtain and the birth of a new world order. Just a few months after the Picnic, the Berlin Wall fell, and the freedom for which the activists and refugees had abandoned their homes, risked imprisonment, sacrificed jobs, family, and friends, was suddenly available to everyone. But were they really free? And why, three decades since the Iron Curtain was torn down, have so many sought once again to build walls? Cinematically told, The Picnic recovers a time when it seemed possible for the world to change. With insight and panache, Longo explores the opportunities taken―and the opportunities we failed to take―in that pivotal moment. 1956 BUDAPEST

Make sure that you visit Holley.com to place your speed parts orders - and THANK THEM for continuing on as the Title Sponsor of the KF Show! ======================================== Dukes Review: It's been three years since I last saw this episode, and I still get sick to my stomach when the General Lee gets stolen and brainwashed by the bad guys, then tries to murder the Dukes even though they all nearly get themselves killed trying to save him. Luke fights two guys to the death basically, and Bo is nearly smeared by a train at the same time. But just like last time we reviewed this if it weren't for the miniature stunt - which thankfully were minimal - this episode would be an 11 out of 10. The General gets turned into a remote controlled car, set to detail a train full of money with a load of dynamite in the trunk. Boss Hogg was behind the scheme of course, but the Dukes came back and nearly fought to the death to protect the most important their lives: their honor? No. Their fortune? No? Their reputation? NO! It was their car! We have all learned this life lesson, and like them we all know that cars have a soul, need to be protected, and need to be fought for. I give this episode - 10 Corndogs, of which are Season 7 Corndogs, which do not have an equivalent exchange rate to say Season 2 or something. So 10 dogs here is basically the equivalent of 6.5 in years past. Show Rating: 10 (Season 7) Corndogs Show Rating: 8 Corndogs!

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen What does your watch mean to you? For many, a timepiece is much more than a tool—it's a bridge between generations, a celebration of achievement, and a lasting legacy. In this episode of Inspired Money, we go beyond the basics of watch collecting to explore why watches become treasured family heirlooms, how to build collections that stand the test of time, and what every collector (from beginner to seasoned expert) should know in today's evolving market. If you're passionate about craftsmanship, storytelling, or the idea of passing something meaningful onto future generations, this episode is for you. Meet the Expert Panelists Paul Boutros is Deputy Chairman and Head of Watches, Americas at Phillips, where he helped build the auction house's powerhouse watch department after joining in 2014. A lifelong watch enthusiast with a background in electrical engineering, he led the record-breaking sale of Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona for $17.8 million, solidifying his reputation as one of the foremost experts in vintage timepieces. https://www.phillips.com Stephen Pulvirent is a writer, photographer, and creative director whose career has spanned leading roles at Hodinkee, Bloomberg, and Surface Media. Now based in Los Angeles, he is the founder of Rime & Reason, a creative agency helping global brands tell smarter, culture-driven stories, while also pursuing his passion for fine art photography. Stephen is also the cofounder of The Enthusiasts, a podcast and newsletter about the culture of watch collecting. https://stephenpulvirent.com Tariq Malik is the founder of Momentum, the Middle East's premier destination for vintage and collectible watches located in heart of Dubai's financial district. Driven by his deep passion for rare Day Date models, both as curator and collector he has developed a focused expertise that has made him a leading authority in this field. A lifelong enthusiast who began dealing Swatch watches at 16, Tariq has grown into a respected global voice in the vintage watch community while playing a pivotal role in establishing Dubai as a significant hub for vintage timepieces. https://momentum-dubai.com Dan Spitz is a third-generation Master Watchmaker and former lead guitarist of the award-winning thrash metal band Anthrax. With Swiss and American degrees in watchmaking and micro-mechanical engineering, Dan's illustrious career includes roles as the Head Master Watchmaker of Complications Specialist for Chopard, instructor, and juror for the prestigious GPHG awards. https://danspitz.com https://www.delraybeachwatchmaker.com Key Highlights: 1. Storytelling & Legacy in Watch Collecting Stephen Pulvirent explores why watches are more than just mechanical objects—“it's the stories that watches carry, the stories we tell ourselves about the watches we own and the roles they play in our lives that elevates them beyond ordinary, everyday things and makes them special objects.” Collectors aren't just building assets but capturing lifetimes of meaning that can be passed on for generations. 2. The Restoration Craft: Preserving Memories Dan Spitz demystifies the watchmaker's role in bringing legacy timepieces back to life. He shares moving stories of clients reconnecting emotionally with watches once thought beyond repair: “Some of them cry. You can see they want to reach out and hug me, and that's why I do what I do.” Restoration isn't just about function—it's about reviving memories and enabling the handover of treasures between generations. 3. Authenticity, Transparency, and Investment Smarts Paul Boutros provides insider guidance on buying for love, not just investment. He stresses the importance of authenticity, craftsmanship, and reputation: “Buy the best quality watches at the price level that you can afford… made by great brands who have pushed the state of the art.” Whether for legacy or potential appreciation, collecting watches well is about informed passion, not quick returns. 4. From Teenage Trader to Dubai Authority Tariq Malik recounts how Swatch trading as a teenager evolved into a global vintage watch business. His journey underscores the importance of transparency, relationship-building, and quality when buying or selling a timepiece. “Today it's a lot about the value, but the real richness is in the connection you have with the watch and its story.” Call-to-Action This week, pick one watch—whether you wear it daily or have it tucked away—and write down the story you want it to tell. Is it a symbol of achievement, a family heirloom, or an inspiration for the future? Share that story with someone you care about, or reflect on how your collection can become a living legacy.

Visit our Substack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/susan-magsamen-and-ivy-ross In school, art is often positioned in curricula as an enrichment subject, not a core skill like math or language arts. But those of us who pursue the arts instinctually recognize that there is something in creative expression that is foundational to the human experience. Susan Magsamen, executive director of the International Arts + Mind Lab at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, has spent years studying the effect art has on our mind and body. Her research is surfacing profound health and longevity benefits created through poetry, music, painting, and other arts. Susan recently collaborated with Ivy Ross, Chief Design Officer for Consumer Devices at Google, to co-author a fascinating book called Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us. We speak with Susan and Ivy about how they found their way into collaborating on the book, why we are “wired for art,” how practicing art can actually extend your lifespan significantly, and how they bring the ideas in their book into their work to reduce stress and help teams perform at their peak. Bios Ivy Ross Ivy Ross is the Vice President of Hardware Design at Google, where she led the creation of the award-winning design language for Google's hardware products. With a background spanning executive roles at Calvin Klein, Swatch, Coach, Mattel, and Gap, Ivy blends design, science, and psychology to drive innovation. Her work has earned over 240 design awards, and she has been recognized by Fast Company, Business Insider, and Surface magazine as a creative leader. A former jewelry designer with works in major museum collections, she is also a sought-after speaker and contributor to books on creativity, leadership, and design. Susan Magsamen Susan Magsamen is the founder and executive director of the International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and co-director of the NeuroArts Blueprint with the Aspen Institute. With over four decades of work at the intersection of the arts and neuroscience, she has developed tools and programs to support health, learning, and social equity through aesthetic experiences. A published author and entrepreneur, Susan also founded Curiosityville and Curiosity Kits, and has advised numerous organizations across public health, education, and the arts. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

Shop Talk covers the latest Executive Order from Trump that tells the Fed to no longer produce pennies. The penny will still be used but will probably become scarce if they are not replenished each year. The penny's demise has been talked about for many years, but Trump is acting like it is his “new” idea. Caught My Eye asks why Aldi is so quiet inside and Walmart catches a serial shoplifter stealing ramen and bras. Nicolas Hayek, founder of Swatch, is our Business Birthday. We're all business.
