MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Did you know that football star Cristiano Ronaldo is somewhat of an investor himself? Today we're going to talk to a company that he has recently invested in – and that's online luxury watch resale marketplace Chrono24. Founded in 2003, Chrono24 prides itself as the number one address for luxury watches for commercial watch dealers and private sellers from around the world. It currently has over 30,000 professional dealers and private sellers from over 120 countries offer more than 500,000 watches. The company's website sees over half a million visitors everyday. In 2020, in particular, it saw watches worth about 2 billion euros transacted through the platform. But what is the demand for luxury watches right now with economies slowing down, interest rates going up, and with cryptocurrencies tumbling? Also – with prices of Swiss watches near the lowest in almost two years amid falling prices of Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet models, what does this mean for platforms like Chrono24 which charge a fee out of every transaction? And how far can Rolex and AP's move to certify pre-owned watches boost the secondary watch market? On Under the Radar, Drive Time's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian sat down with Tim Stracke, Co-CEO and Founder, Chrono24 for more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Josh is joined by fellow client advisor Jason Mane to discuss the release of the new Rolex Daytona for Le Mans and how they think it will effect the market amongst other current affairs in the industry.

This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week our host Ariel Adams is joined by Danny Govberg, the Executive Chairman at Watchbox. They start the show talking about some of the major roles and accomplishments that Danny has had in the watch industry over his career starting in 1981 selling vintage time pieces. They talk about what brands were dominating in the 80's that are still going strong today such as Rolex, when the markets of jewelry and watches started to separate, and what the industry looks like today in comparison. They talk about what it was like to be the person who would go to Switzerland to retrieve pieces that were highly wanted in America but not widely available, what he is doing at Watchbox today that is so different from their competitors, and how the customer is truly the main focus for them always. Danny talks about some of the brands that they believe in and enjoy selling, what some brands could be doing better marketing wise, and Ariel asks who exactly should be paying for watch brand marketing?

My guest today is Jenny Johnson, President and CEO of one of the world's largest asset managers, Franklin Templeton. Jenny joined the business in 1988 and has worked in the organization ever since. In early 2020 she became CEO of Franklin, which now manages some $1.5 trillion.

My guest today is Doug Colkitt. Doug has spent his career searching for and trading inefficient markets, first at Citadel's high-frequency trading group, then for himself, and then as an operator building CrocSwap - a decentralized exchange or DEX designed to bring modern functionality to crypto markets, which is closer to what large traders have come to expect from a modern electronic market like the NASDAQ. My interest in market infrastructure has continued to grow since my great conversation with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. So my conversation with Doug covers the evolution of market and trading infrastructure. We unpack the trading stack as it exists today, dive into DeFi's innovations, and explore the new category of single contract DEXs that Doug is creating. After learning so much from Doug about how markets function and how crypto markets should function, I became an investor in his new business via my venture capital firm Positive Sum. Please enjoy this great conversation with Doug Colkitt.

My guest today is Will Marshall, the co-founder and CEO of Planet. Will founded Planet in 2010 with a small team of NASA scientists to build a constellation of satellites that would image the entire Earth every day. Since then, Planet has successfully built and deployed 450 satellites into space, which the company is using to create a time series of images for every place on Earth. Our conversation covers the untold space story. How space is going through an internet moment where cost reductions and performance enhancements have led to a seismic shift in what's possible above our atmosphere, and how that can drastically improve life on Earth through unique datasets like the one Planet is piecing together. Once you listen to Will speak about Planet's progress and mission, it's hard to think of a more underappreciated company in business today. Please enjoy this great conversation with Will Marshall.

A few days ago before I sat down with Roelof, he announced Sequoia's boldest innovation since the firm was founded by Don Valentine in the early 1970s. Going forward, the firm will break from the traditional VC mould of fund cycles and instead restructure around a single, open-ended, permanent structure named The Sequoia Fund. In our conversation, we first discuss the details of this change from all different angles and then dive into Roelof's career. We talk about what's changed over the past twenty years, his days at PayPal, what legendary investors he's worked with have had in common, and what he's learned from being involved in businesses like Square, YouTube, and Unity. Please enjoy this great conversation with Roelof Botha.

My guest today is Sarah Friar, the CEO of Nextdoor, which connects people in local neighborhoods together. Sarah's CV sparkles with impressive achievements at interesting businesses, and we spend a lot of time in this conversation thinking through what excellence looks like as a CEO, CFO, equity analyst, and board member. The rest of our discussion is focused on Nextdoor and how the soon-to-be public business is fostering connections between people and businesses in their local areas. I do this podcast so I get to meet and learn from people like Sarah. I could have talked to her for hours. I hope you enjoy this great conversation with Sarah Friar as much as I did.

A full episode talking about Rolex GMT-Master in collaboration with our partner Watchbox.
This episode we're talking about a subject near and dear to my heart: watches. Watches continue to be a timeless investment piece synonymous with value. And as someone who has collected over 50 watches, I was super excited to bring on Justin Reis of WatchBox to learn more about the growing tech-enabled luxury commerce market. WatchBox is the world's leading platform for the buying, selling, and trading of pre-owned luxury watches, with offices in the U.S., Hong Kong, Switzerland, Singapore, and Dubai. In this episode, Justin talks with my co-hosts and I all about the luxury commerce market, WatchBox's hybrid high-tech high-touch model, how their service works, the typical WatchBox customer, having value in brand equity, WatchBox TV, collectability, the rise in Apple and other tech watches, NFTS, and more. I also offered up some great dating tips this episode, which I know everyone was dying to hear about!

Tim Mosso's name has become synonymous with the widely recognized watch dealership, Watchbox. In this episode, we discuss how Tim's watch reviews are produced at incredible speed and quality, his thoughts on the watch media space, and what lies in the future for himself as a brand and the watch industry.
I've been a big fan of today's guest for several years, so I was certainly excited to chat with him. Tim Mosso is one of only a few people I watch online for reviews & news within the world of watches. I've always enjoyed his straight-forward delivery, his seemingly encyclopedic knowledge and it helps he and I have other interests in common such as automotive racing and cycling. We talk about how his military service prepared him for his current role as “The Watch Specialist” for Watchbox, and how his first 800 Watch-related videos were shot to differentiate his content from that of blogs such as HODINKEE. Needless to say Tim was onto something, and much, much more. I wanted to get to know the man under the Oakley's and today you will, too. Tim sure has his hands in more horological cookie jars than one can even imagine, and we get into a healthy amount of car talk. I'm excited to have you hear him share it all.

South African-born professional explorer Mike Horn has lived a heck of a life. He's sailed around the world 27 times, walked around it three times, crossed Antarctica and summited some of the world's highest peaks. And he's down much of it with a Panerai on his wrist. But before we get to Mike, Andy and Felix chat about some of Panerai's latest releases and just how they feel about scratching up their watches. Fair warning, though, neither of them have submitted their watch to even a fraction of the abuse that Mike Horn's Panerai's have endured. Mike tells us about the time he used his watch as a piton, but also what drives him into the wild, and what the point of exploration is when the map has been filled in, and what it's like to witness climate change first hand. Not only has his experience made him a perfect ambassador for Panerai for the last 21 years, but it's made him the perfect person to push Panerai down the path of sustainability.

Now that Watches & Wonders is firmly in our rearview mirrors and the dust has settled, we thought it was high time to do some soul-searching and come up with our favourite releases from the virtual fair. Felix, in typical fashion, went a little weird and focused on some less-hyped releases and, in a spectacular cop-out move, picked every single colourful watch from the fair. Andy, however, played it relatively straight with four rock-solid choices, including a controversial Rolex, some colourful options and a knock-out Perpetual Calendar from none other than A. Lange & Söhne. This episode is brought to you by WatchBox, the world's leading platform for buying, selling and trading pre-owned luxury timepieces.

The second we aired our first interview with James Dowling in 2020, we knew we had to have him back on for part two. It might have taken us 12 months, but it worth the wait. This time around, we talk about Rolex (I mean, when you're known online as @MisterRolex is kind of comes up), but our conversation takes some unexpected turns, like investing in tins of sardines. In fact, we talk about Dowling's love of exploring the 'dead ends' of watches, small manufacturers, Swiss quartz from the 70s and 80s (including his prototype Rolex Quartz Perpetual calendar), deck watches and other ephemera. James also reluctantly gives his advice to new collectors, who he believes have a much harder time finding interesting and accessible watches than earlier generations of collectors, given that the internet has largely taken away the joy of discovery. Luckily though, new collectors are still able to learn from their mistakes, something Dowling thinks is invaluable. Buckle up and hit play because you're in for a wild ride with Mister Rolex.

Today's episode is action-packed in more ways than one. Of course, the top billing goes to Jason Heaton, a product journalist who's penned his first novel, But before that, we have some action of a different kind, with Andy chatting to Mike Manjos from WatchBox, about the winners from Watches & Wonders. Then it's straight into the thriller that is Depth Charge. Heaton bills it as a classic paperback page-turner in the vein of Cussler or Fleming, with a healthy dose of diving, and of course, dive watches. And while Heaton doesn't reveal the watch his hero ended up wearing in the book, we do talk about the challenges of writing (and researching) a novel during a pandemic, updating thriller tropes while making them relevant for a modern audience. Of course, we also chat about the in-depth character development of a pivotal character and probably great guy, the henchman known as 'Scholz'. Back when Jason Heaton was first on the podcast, Felix petitioned strongly to be included as an evil henchman in the novel. Fast forward to today, and Felix's wish has been granted, with Scholz being described as an angular man with a shaved head and a moustache. What hasn't been revealed yet is if Henchman Scholz wears a watch. So we thought we'd have a little fun. Over on Instagram, we're running a comp where the best suggestion for Scholz's watch will win a signed copy of Depth Charge. Don't miss out. This episode is brought to you by WatchBox, the world's leading platform for buying, selling and trading pre-owned luxury timepieces. Andy gets a personalised post Watches & Wonders market wrap with Mike Manjos, where they chat about trends and 2021's hottest releases.

This week Buzz and Spence sit down with @watchgirloffduty aka Zoe Abelson! Zoe has a unique perspective on collecting from inside the watch industry. Zoe has worked for names we all know and recognize in her tenure in the industry such as Antiquorum, Crown&Caliber, and WatchBox to name a few. Zoe has been in Hong Kong for the last three years. She discusses the difference between the Hong Kong market and the US market, what brands are popular in Asia vs. the US, and other trends that are emerging in this very wealthy market. Of course, it would not be a collector conversation if we didn't discuss Zoe's personal collection. She is the first person to wrist check a Patek Philippe on our podcast, as well as the first guest who currently resides in Asia! We also discuss the Rolex Oyster Perpetual(s) that are in her collection, the story behind how she obtained them, as well as her obsession with the JLC Reverso. Zoe has some excellent stories, is a genuinely fun person to chat with, and has a special Mixed Tap dropping soon you won't want to miss!
The watches and wonders are flowing thick and fast, and in this episode, Felix and Andy deep their toes into the latest watches from Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet. But before a surprisingly hot-take-filled recap, Felix has a little interlude with Tim Mosso from WatchBox. Tim and Felix talk superheroes (I mean, has anyone seen Tim and Batman in the same room?) when Tim and Felix pick watches for Marvel and DC's finest. Ever wondered what Wonder Woman would wear? Regular programming continues with new watch chat and Andy revealing why he wouldn't cop a steel Nautilus at retail. Further surprises ensue when Felix goes into bat for the Code 11:59. And they both agree that while Audemars Piguet missed some major opportunities to make their debut Marvel watch (feat. Black Panther) great, watch nerds need to settle a little and remember that it's not all about them. This episode is brought to you by WatchBox, the world's leading platform for buying, selling and trading pre-owned luxury timepieces. Have you ever wondered what sort of watch Batman, Superman, Wolverine, Iron Man and Wonder Woman would wear? Well, wonder no more as Felix and Tim Mosso pick some super watches for these classic comic heroes. Head to thewatchbox.com to look for your next watch.

We chat to Chris about just we he shrunk the Big Pilot, the differences between the Big Pilot 43 and the Bigger Pilot, why they decided not to use the bigger 7-day movement in the Big Pilot 43, the future of the 46mm Big Pilot, and how IWC is riding the wave of the changing nature of luxury. But it's not just IWC who got an invite this week. We also chat with WatchBox director Brian Govberg about building the perfect watch collection for $50K.

This week on the Defining Time Show, Anthony (@defining_time) and Vinnie (@tellyourtime) chat with watch community member Eric (@pilot.watch.doctor). Eric has been around the watch scene for a while now and I always remember him getting involved in the good old Watchbox live chats. Eric has an eclectic collection, we discuss his collecting philosophies and go deep into a very special and favourite watch in his collection. I wont give it away but the case and bracelet were made by Cartier and the movement by JLC. Any guesses? Have a listen and find out what the watch is and why it is so special. Sit back, relax, grab a drink and enjoy the show.

By his own reckoning, Tim Mosso has reviewed some 6 or 7000 watches, many of them on Watchbox’s YouTube channel. The combination of experience, deep product knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of how watches are made, bought and sold makes Tim Mosso someone to listen to, especially if you’re looking to buy a watch. We find out just how Tim goes about reviewing a watch, even if it’s not one he personally likes (spoiler, it’s either like a sailor or a lawyer). We also get Tim’s take on what he thinks makes a bad (or a good) watch, the most overlooked element of watch design (lugs!), what’s trending, and which brands are milking those trends too much. We also talk about why watches leaning heavily into nostalgia need to pay attention to car design, and if the hype is ever justified. This interview is a little longer than usual, but it’s all thriller no filler. This episode is brought to you by Gucci, and this episode we talk about the Gucci Grip.

Danny Govberg is a pioneering force of the contemporary watch industry. His vision and insatiable passion for watches and technology enabled the evolution of Govberg from a Philadelphia-based retail shop to one of the world's premier authorized dealers of both new and pre-owned timepieces. Danny recognized years ago that selling new watches was only one way to support the life of a watch collector and set in motion a tech forward, pre-owned strategy that inspired the evolution of the global ecommerce website WatchBox.

Everybody loves a David and Goliath story. The problem is, in business these days, the David is usually a family business, and the Goliath is some technology-juicing giant. Goliath is usually winning. So here's a story that returns to classic form: Danny Govberg is the CEO of Govberg Jewelers in Philadelphia – and he's also the CEO of Watchbox, an app and website that's shaking up the world of luxury watches. By Govberg's count, he's selling at a rate of $200 million worth of watches this year between the two businesses, much of it in brands like Rolex, Patek Phillipe and Omega – brands that run in the thousands and tens of thousands of dollars per watch. And he says he's growing more than 30% a year. All of this is happening while the popular narrative is stacked against him. Supposedly hardly anyone wears watches anymore, and for those that do, the Apple Watch and Samsung Watch are running roughshod over the market. Well? That's not the whole story. I met Danny Govberg at the Breitling Boutique on Madison Avenue in Manhattan – you'll hear the sounds of the store and some construction next door. We talked about how the business evolved from his immigrant grandfather's beginnings as a watchmaker, and why technology is growing his old family business while it's killing others.

Zu Beginn berichten Jeanette und Michaela über ihre Erfahrungen mit ihren neuen Kopfhörern. Danach, erzählt Jeanette, wie ihr die Animeserie Toradora gefallen hat. Jeanette hat in letzter Zeit wieder ein paar neue interessante Serien gesehen, über die sie berichtet. Michaela, berichtet, daß es bei Netflix auch ein paar neue Animeserien gibt, die es aber auch kostenlos bei Watchbox zu sehen gibt.

Michael und Stephan sind (im Stream krebsrot) aus dem Urlaub zurück und haben brav Themen im Gepäck.rnrnGleich am Anfang warnen wir vor einem fiesen neuen Android-Bug. Wer Windows 10 nutzt und Daten von oder auf sein Smartphone bringen will: Lasst USB weg! Wie immer empfehlen wir: Backup per Drive und auf Disc.rnrnWir springen: Von Windows-Phones (Bahaha!) für US-Polizisten, zu iPhones, zu Tech-Leaks, zu Sky, zu Game of Thrones. Ja. Das hat alles miteinander zu tun!rnrnMichael hat den E-Postbrief getestet. Kurz erklärt: Die Post scannt seine Briefe ein und schickt sie ihm per Mail. Schön für Spam per Papier, eher weniger schön bei sensiblen Briefen.rnrnDie Ehe für alle ist da! Schwule und lesbische Pärchen dürfen heiraten: Cool! Die Software der Standesämter kommen aber mit Mann+Mann oder Frau+Frau so gar nicht gut zurecht.rnrnStephan und Michael sind gespannt auf Tropico 6, das es (auch) für macOS gibt. Michael schweift ein bisschen in die schöne neue Gaming-Welt auf macOS ab und erzählt über externe Grafikkarten.rnrnWir bleiben in der Unterhaltung und feiern das 20jährige von Netflix. Wir schauen uns die Alternativen an und Michael hat auf Watchbox alle Saber Rider-Episoden gefunden (wenn auch in unsortierter Reihenfolge).rnrnDas Wichtigste zum Schluss: Leute, geht wählen! Wir stellen den Wahl-O-Mat vor und verraten, was wir von solchen Programmen halten. (deinwal.de, Jung und Naiv Bundestagswahl Special)
