Is It Ok For Watch Geeks To Like Smart Watches? Apple Watch Ultra, Smartwatches From Tag Heuer, Louis Vuitton, And Sequent. The Credor Eichi II, Why G-Shock Won't Make A Smartwatch And Poetry

The Apple Watch Ultra, New Smartwatches From Tag Heuer, Louis Vuitton, And Sequent, Plus A Look At The Credor Eichi II And Why G-Shock Won't Make A SmartwatchIn this episode ofaBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, Rick, and David are joined by Andrew from Watchfinder & Co. for a deep dive into the world of smartwatches. Given the recent release of a new generation of Apple Watches and the massive amount of attention that the Apple Watch Ultra has received from traditional collectors and enthusiasts, our hosts kick off the show by answering the question of whether or not the Apple Watch should even be considered a watch in the first place. From there, the conversation gets into why the new adventure-ready Apple Watch Ultra appeals to many individuals who historically had no interest in traditional smartwatches, along with whether or not its design was influenced by the traditional Swiss timepiece industry. Given its more durable construction and ability to even function as a proper dive computer, our hosts bring up the point as to why many people tend to inherently trust Apple over many traditional watch manufacturers when it comes to things like depth ratings, along with how Apple is able to excel at creating intuitive and easily digestible interfaces.Although the new generation of Apple Watches is arguably the biggest news from the world of connected devices, it is hardly the only option available within the space, and our quartet of hosts then get into a conversation about some of the other premium smartwatches that are currently available, such as those produced by Tag Heuer and Louis Vuitton. After discussing why these models fill different roles within the greater connected watch landscape, Ariel then offers some insight on why Casio has decided not to pursue smartwatches, despite its G-Shock range being regarded as the go-to digital timepiece for rugged use. After pondering the question of whether or not any wearable connected device will be able to dethrone the Apple Watch at some point in the near future, our hosts move to the complete opposite end of the timepiece spectrum to talk about the ultra-premium Credor Eichi II and its different approach to luxury, before moving back to the topic of connected devices with the unconventional and irreverent Sequent Smart(ass) Watch that was created in collaboration with seconde/seconde/. To wrap up the show, our hosts look at some of the various shortcomings of smartwatches and get into the details of why connected devices such as the Apple Watch aren't currently entirely solar powered, along with when we might be able to see brands produce models that are able to charge themselves autonomously.Show Notes2:38https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hands-on-the-apple-watch-ultra/24:02https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hands-on-with-the-louis-vuitton-tambour-horizon-light-up-luxury-smartwatch/https://www.ablogtowatch.com/watch-review-tag-heuer-connected-e4-smartwatch/35:04 https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hands-on-casio-dw5600-gu-7-g-shock-universe-watch/46:28https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hands-on-seiko-credor-eichi-ii-watch/50:57https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hands-on-sequent-smartass-watch-collaboration-with-seconde-seconde/We'd love to hear from you with feedback or suggestions for future show topics or guests.

In This EpisodeYou'll hear JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates talk with Eric Ku, watch “super dealer,” cofounder of Loupe This, and founder of 10 Past Ten and Los Angeles Watchworks. Eric recounts the origin story of when he first started his collection of mechanical watches, the beginnings of watch-collecting on the internet, the evolving relationship between brands and the pre-owned market, and he names a few micro-brands that have yet to get their due.Show Notes02:20 – The hosts introduce Eric Ku04:20 – How Eric came to own his first watches08:10 – The early days of the internet and online watch collecting10:15 – Eric's main business focuses15:00 – Brands' relationships with the secondhand market20:45 – How Loupe This got started25:00 – Some great lesser-known watch brands27:30 – Eric's first watch, “the one that got away”Episode CreditsHosts: Rob Bates and Victoria GomelskyProducer and engineer: Natalie ChometPlugs: loupethis.com, 10pastten.com, lawatchworks.com, @jckmagazine, JCKonlineShow RecapEric's Watch Origin StoryEric talks about where his love of watches came from. He subscribed to National Geographic and always noticed the Rolex ad on the back cover. In particular, he has been interested in mechanical watches and the history behind them. While in college at the University of California, Berkeley, Eric didn't find a lot of others who shared his interest, however.When Eric came into some money playing the stock market in college, it allowed him to buy some of his first nice watches. Soon after, he lost that same fortune the same way he had made it and had to sell them all. In a way, this quickly introduced him to both sides of the watch-selling business.Eric's first watch? An Omega Speedmaster Automatic with a clear display back. Back when he had purchased it, it cost him $999. At the time, he thought that this price was the benchmark for a “nice” watch. His first vintage watch was a Rolex Red Submariner. He got it in Columbus, Ohio, at an NAWCC (National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors) show. From the beginning, Eric had been drawn to Rolex because of the brand's tie to feats of human ingenuity dating back to the 1930s.The Watch Market Now and ThenDuring the early days of the internet and internet watch collecting, his friends used to fax pictures of watches to him! It was an active scene. He talked to other collectors online. He looked at other sites to learn about watches. The commercial part of it was at trade shows, not online yet. NAWCC would have a show in Pasadena, Calif., twice a year. He would attend these regional shows, walk around, meet people, and all the trading would happen there.Eric's Collection of Watch BusinessesWhat are Eric's main business focuses? He started 10 Past Ten in the early 2000s, which is a website that sells vintage Rolex sport watches. This is one of the segments that is most heavily collected. It started as a part-time job. After a “moment of clarity,” he gave notice at his day job, rented an office, and never looked back.Six years ago, Eric partnered with his friend Beau Goorey and started Los Angeles Watchworks, a repair and restoration business for fine Swiss watches based in Pasadena. They are known for their cosmetic work on watches, preserving the original look and feel while catering to the whims of watch collectors.How does he handle counterfeits? With these fine vintage watches, it's all in the details. There are specific tiny details that are not always original. With vintage watches, you won't see a counterfeit that is perfect. It's harder to replicate watches that are handmade.Brands Embracing the Secondhand MarketThough they used to thumb their noses at it, brands are increasingly embracing the pre-owned market. Eric gives the example of Richemont, which bought Watchfinder (a secondhand watch business on the internet), and they slowly integrated it into their dealer network. They'll look at trade-in watches and accept a customer's trade-in as credit toward a new purchase. With new watches, there is a keystone. The margins are thinner for secondhand watches. Eric notes that the lack of availability of some new watches is an interesting factor. It benefits these brands to offer pre-owned watches, so that there is still some inventory.Primary and Secondary Market InterplayVictoria asks about the relationship between the primary and secondary markets. When there's nothing available in the primary channel, people flood the secondary market with demand, and prices rise to extreme heights. Now that the prices for these hyped watches are going back down in the secondary market, what is Eric seeing in the primary? Does he see a link between the two? Eric has not seen interest in the primary market cooling just yet. Most authorized dealers would likely agree, they continue to have a waiting list for certain models of new watch. He notices that the retail prices of these watches are much lower than their market value.What accounts for this growth of the watch market? Eric thinks it's a mixed bag. The company-owned boutique model with fewer third-party partners has affected the supply. Back in the day, it was expected that you would go into a jewelry store and negotiate the price. Now, people don't go to a brand boutique expecting a deal on a designer watch. On the consumer side, watch collecting used to be niche, but over time, the fashion world has embraced vintage things. That has moved the needle. Fashion magazines have watch writers. It's different from even just 10 years ago.The Birth of Loupe ThisEric talks about his online auction company Loupe This, which he started with Justin Gruenberg. Both co-owners are deeply involved in the watch auction market. Because they're so familiar with it, they have their likes and dislikes about auctions. They didn't like how high fees were. Other examples: how long it takes to list and the predictable seasons, which have gaps of time when there aren't a lot of auctions. They created this platform that addressed many of their issues with in-person auctions. However, they don't intend to replace traditional auctions. There's an excitement about being in an auction room and watching everything happen. They do try to cater to a wider audience and have watches for sale every day.His Personal Collection and FavoritesVictoria asks Eric to share his hit list of brands that haven't gotten their due yet. It's hard to predict! He thinks that the market is good at predicting what is undervalued/overvalued and adjusts. He names a few micro brands and relatively affordable brands that are still under the radar: Kurono, Ming, and Baltic.How many watches does Eric have? Though he doesn't know the exact number, he says his collection is fairly focused. (He has more than his wife would like, he says!) He likes watches with a story. He tells the story of his first watch that he sold and tried to buy back. Though he did get it back, he paid a world-record price. When he got it, his original documents were all still with it! He now plans to save it for his son.

To start the show, a quick message from Jake, the aBlogtoWatch Social Media & Community Manager, sets off a discussion about how the ever-changing algorithms are forcing everyone to use “Rolex” in YouTube titles as clickbait, which spirals into a conversation about the psychology behind clickbait itself and how the way we consume video content has changed over the years. To properly measure the effects of clickbait, the trio decides to conduct an experiment using two different titles for this podcast episode, and given how discussing clickbait-worthy topics seems to come naturally to Andrew, you can have fun guessing about which version you're actually seeing.From there, the conversation gets into Rolex and how the brand became the world's most famous watchmaker, along with why Andrew thinks Porsche is the car company most like Rolex (see, we told you he naturally talks about clickbait-worthy topics). After discussing the homogenization of people's preferences in regards to watch collecting, the trio gets into a discussion about affordable GMT watches, the cheapest diamond-set watch available, and the least expensive timepieces in everyone's collections that receive wear on a regular basis. Finishing up the discussion of new releases and reviews is a conversation about whether or not the removable grill on the latest Cartier Pasha is just a plot to make more money on replacements when customers inevitably lose theirs, followed by a brief discussion about the new Seiko Speedtimer and the brand's obsession with difficult naming conventions.

Nigel Barker of Amercia's Top Model

Today on The Neil Haley Show, Neil will interview Nigel Barker of Amercia's Top Model. America's Next Top Model judge and fashion photographer Nigel Barker is launching a new campaign to highlight the need for genders to be removed from jewellery items such as watches. This comes after new analysis revealed that more manufacturers are making smaller watches for men and also a trend for bigger watches for women. In addition, many watches are now being changed in size to appeal to both genders, prompting calls for watch manufacturers to move to a sizing model of small, medium, large instead of the now outdated model of men's watches and women's watches. The campaign, which is launched by Watchfinder & Co., is the latest to ensure that fashion is made accessible for everyone and that nobody faces any stigma for wanting to purchase items that would suit them better. Having been a judge on some of the biggest TV fashion shows including America's Next Top Model (for 17 seasons) and The Face alongside Naomi Campbell, Nigel is wanting to change the way that many people perceive fashion and how fashion is perceived by people in a bid to make it more accessible and for more comfortable for everyone to enjoy – regardless of their gender.
