Podcasts about timepieces

What's the Best Clock? WE GOT THIS.

Imagine a world where even a split-second delay could spell disaster—where lives, industries, and society itself relied on the precision of a pocket watch. During the Industrial Revolution, this was not a distant threat but a daily reality. Once a symbol of luxury, pocket watches became indispensable tools for train conductors, factory managers, and industrial workers. These meticulously crafted timepieces weren't just about telling time—they were the backbone of progress, ensuring coordination and safety as factories hummed and railroads expanded across nations.

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.

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.

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.

Want to learn more about watches? email us at support@chriswarnes.com We buy, sell, trade, consign, service, source and repair. Do you want to work with us on a timepiece? email us support@chriswarnes.com In this video, I'll share my personal picks for the best timepieces available around the $2,000 mark. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just getting started, these watches offer great quality, style, and wrist presence without breaking the bank. Here's the breakdown: 1. Tudor Black Bay M79540 Available in several dials, though the black dial is a standout for me. Slight resemblance to the iconic Submariner, but with its own unique character. At 41mm, it's a great size that's noticeable but not overpowering. Priced right around $2,000 on the secondary market. 2. TAG Heuer Formula 1 Date (WAZ2011) A classic with a deep connection to motorsports history. Bold wrist presence with a 43mm case size, larger than the Tudor. Easily recognizable design and available new for a bit over $2,000; used models can be found for less. 3. Oris Aquis Date (01 733 7789) Featuring a striking green dial and matching rubber strap. At 43.5mm, it's an eye-catching piece; Oris nails this shade of green. An underrated model from a brand that deserves more attention. 4. Breitling Endurance Pro Available in a range of colors and options, with sizes in both 44mm and 38mm (targeted at women). Powered by "Super Quartz," so keep in mind it's not automatic. Lightweight and great for sports or gym wear; priced around $2,000 new on the secondary market, and even lower pre-owned. 5. Omega Seamaster (2850.5) A vintage, mid-80s automatic model with a 50mm case. Omega has a long history of quality with the Seamaster line, making this a solid option if you can find one in good condition. These watches offer style, history, and a solid build at a relatively affordable price for luxury. Let me know in the comments which of these you'd pick or if there are others you'd recommend in this price range! Get your Dominate Your Day Book https://chriswarnes.com/book/

Watches and art have long been intertwined, with many watchmakers drawing inspiration from different forms of art to create timepieces that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.  From Franck Muller's manga inspired timepiece to Audemars Piguet 's modern tribute to the manufacture's 1960 Model 5159BA, influenced by the era's Brutalist style, every dial is a canvas.  On Culture Club, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Yanni Tan, Style & Watches Editor, The Peak Magazine to find out what's on the list of best art-inspired watches.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're looking at watch designs and collections that don't have legacy roots in the "golden" age of watchmaking - really anywhere from 1960 and before. Specifically, we want to explore watch designs that became "classics" from our generation (mid 1980s to today).

Joining us in this special episode of Chatting with Chuck is Jim Imhof, the Sales Director for Glock Watches. He will share the extraordinary fusion of two worlds you might never have imagined—the world of firearms and watches.  Jim brings a wealth of experience, having spent 45 years in the watch business, including stints with brands like Boulevard, Citizen, and Seiko. For the past decade, he's been an integral part of Bering Watches, a company with a 14-year history.  In this episode, we discuss the remarkable history of Bering Watches, their commitment to quality, and the influence of their owner, Michael Witt. You'll discover that Glock's entry into watch manufacturing is a dedication to upholding Glock's rigorous standards, just as they do with their firearms. They're designed to withstand wear and tear, which makes them a smart choice for those who demand the best.  Initially, Bering Watches primarily catered to a female audience, but they have expanded their offerings and have 700 active accounts in the US.  So, how did Bering Watches and Glock Watches come together? The Glock family, with its roots in the jewelry business, sought to create special project watches. When the task proved challenging, Michael Witt was called upon for his expertise, and thus, the partnership began.  Glock watches offer a range of movements, including Swiss-made Rhonda movements, Seiko automatic movements, and solar movements.  Jim reveals that all these Glock watches are set to hit the market soon, and it already has a substantial network of accounts lined up, including independent owner-operators.  If you're interested in exploring the opportunity to become a prospective retailer, sales representative, or ambassador, tune in now and discover more about Glock Watches from Jim Imhof here.  Brought to you by: Southern Jewelry News: https://southernjewelrynews.com/ Jewelry Store Marketers: https://jewelrystoremarketers.com/ Learn more about the Pearls of Wisdom Jewelry Podcast https://southernjewelrynews.com/podcast Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform: • Apple Podcast = https://podcastsconnect.apple.com/my.-.. • Amazon Music/Audible = https://www.audible.com/pd/Pearls-of.-.. • iHeartRadio = https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-pe... • Spotify = https://open.spotify.com/show/6IU1OHw... • Google Podcast = https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...

This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week on the Superlative Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by another return guest, Barry Cohen the CEO and Founder of ProTek Watches, and the Managing Partner of Time Concepts LLC. To start the show Ariel and Barry talk about how ProTek is doing currently, and the changing dynamic of retail that has occurred over the last couple of decades that has affected smaller brands. They talk about how internet shopping has changed the outlook of consumers to a view of not always needing to try something in person before buying it, and how that can be a crutch for brands to get over when trying to sell their products online and in retail. Ariel and Barry dive into the customer base and different uses of ProTek watches, and how they are used in active lifestyles such as the armed forces, and professional sports.

TIME: the most valuable asset we have that we all need more of. As entrepreneurs, we have to be dedicated to our businesses and sacrifice a whole lot of our time to ensure its success. We have to know to grant ourselves the patience in knowing Rome wasn't built in a day, yet also balancing the fact that if we don't give it all our best efforts, no one else will make it happen for us either. Remember to reward yourself for your progress, but continue to stay committed to seeing your dreams come to life even as they unfold and evolve to your needs and development.Just because you already have a job doesn't mean you can't go out and start your own business. You have to be able to approach your idea of success without the crippling fear of moving forward. Know that failure is inevitable during growth, but what is most important to learn is how you choose to move on from your failures that makes your failures such a vital part of your progress. Be aware that once you catch that wanted traction, that momentum you've worked so hard for, you have to be willing to keep going and strike while the iron is still hot.Likewise, even once you are established and think you're an expert, you have to realize that growth compounds as your business expands. You have to evolve your systems and practices as needs change with passing time. Sometimes, it may take years to need to upgrade a specific part of your procedures, while others may need to be changed every week to meet your demands. Your mindset is also going to change as you face obstacles and discover ways for you to overcome your problems. Remind yourself of your successes when you feel down, and remember your struggles to keep yourself propelling forward when things are already going fantastic to keep yourself on a roll to even better things.Turn your passions into paychecks! If your passions are no longer as enjoyable because you've made them too heavy as "your daily grind", find a new way to tap into your other passions to make them profitable and get back to loving what it is you do. You don't have to give up your other dreams, sometimes you just have to either find a means to stack your passions that continue to bring you satisfaction and joy in doing what you love, or you may need pass on that torch to help you can trust to keep your mission alive.Your mindset has to stay positive and always moving forward from the traumas you've experienced in your past. Find people to surround yourself with that make you feel good about yourself and encourage you to grow beyond your current level. Know that you have to know yourself in order to love yourself and what it is you are doing in your life. Be ready to identify and expel the things and people that no longer serve you for the better. When you no longer let your past hold power over your present, you can be free to experience your future in ways you never thought was possible. Be committed to yourself by outgrowing the version of you that you no longer need in order to evolve to your greatest version yet.

Hackaday Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Managing Editor Tom Nardi start this week's podcast off with an announcement the community has been waiting years for: the return of the Hackaday Supercon! While there's still some logistical details to hammer out, we're all extremely excited to return to a live con and can't wait to share more as we get closer to November. Of course you can't have Supercon without the Hackaday Prize, which just so happens to be wrapping up its Hack it Back challenge this weekend. In other news, we'll talk about the developing situation regarding the GPLv3 firmware running on Ortur's laser engravers (don't worry, it's good news for a change), and a particularly impressive fix that kept a high-end industrial 3D printer out of the scrapheap. We'll also fawn over a pair of fantastically documented projects, learn about the fascinating origins of the lowly fire hydrant, and speculate wildly about the tidal wave of dead solar panels looming menacingly in the distance. Check out the show notes!
