Prost! Fall is in the air, Oktoberfest is right around the corner, and certified Friend of the Pod® Stephen Kounas (President of Glashütte Original, North America) is back to drop even more knowledge – this time, he's schooling us on the sleepy Saxony town of Glashütte, as well as the brand's new dial manufactory which is now up and running.

After a short breather for the long Labor Day weekend, the boys are back on the mic as we look to Geneva Watch Days for a flurry of exciting new releases, including a surprising and epic new collaboration between our favorite Le Locle maker and a famed Swiss furniture maker – both of whom, soared to new heights in the late 1960s.

It's no secret that the Burlingame & Park crew has a soft spot for Omega, and ever since our "Twenty Years of the Planet Ocean" episode back in February of this year, the boys have been looking for an excuse to do a similar deep dive on the Seamaster Aqua Terra – the ultimate GADA (Go-Anywhere-Do-Anything) watch, and a watch that has a whole lot more collectability and range than most would expect.

Fan-favorite guest Jay (@shespeakswatch) is back in the hot seat to share her latest watchmaking adventure: a journey to Switzerland's famed Vallée de Joux for a peek inside "the farm," the haute horology arm of the Blancpain manufacture. But this wasn't just any production visit, and there was nary a Fifty Fathoms to be seen, because as Jay explains, this was a rare, exclusive look at how some of the maker's most prestigious creations come to life.As always, you can reach the crew for questions and comments at podcast@topperjewelers.com.

What is the perfect summer watch? Is it a colorful, affordable Seiko? Or a burly dive watch bristling with all the latest technology? Or perhaps a hybrid combination of both? This week on the pod, the guys each pick three of their favorite summer watches in a spirited roundtable style draft where only one trio will emerge victorious.

Fresh off the heels of Breitling's summer blockbuster release of the Superocean Heritage, the boys had a chance to sit down with Breitling's Global Head of Heritage Gianfranco Gentile to talk about the origins of this unique dive watch, and how it made such a lasting impact since its launch in 1957 – an impact that still persists, now with the launch of the newest Heritage line nearly 70 years later. And be sure to stick around for a Universal Geneve & Gallet teaser, as these are also both brands that Gianfranco is directly involved with!As always, you can reach the crew for questions and comments at podcast@topperjewelers.com.

This week on Burlingame & Park, Russ is in Las Vegas for the Couture show, so we tapped Topper's very own Jay Liu, who just returned from a life-changing visit to the Parmigiani manufacture in Fleurier. Rob is also freshly returned from a visit to the Omega manufacture in Bienne, and together, these two visits formed very distinctly different, but opposing sides of the same watchmaking coin, and we break it all down on this week's episode.As always, you can reach the crew for questions and comments at podcast@topperjewelers.com.

Does micro-adjust actually matter? Should watch dials really have all that extra writing on them? Does the next Gerald Genta already walk among us? This week the boys are looking to ruffle some feathers around the #watchfam with our own spiciest subway takes, and who better to tap in for this one than our longtime pal and resident New Yorker, Worn&Wound co-founder Zach Weiss.

Lots to unpack in this week's jam-packed episode, where the boys take you through a few highlights on the ground at Topper's third annual First Look, before settling down in the Biergarten to chat about Rob's shopping adventures in Tokyo, and unbox an Omega watch that none of us had ever seen before.

This week, the Topper Dunk Tank®️ makes its official debut on Burlingame & Park as we bring in a few members of the Topper family into the studio hot seat to answer a few of the most common questions they routinely get from the #watchfam. Of course that means our very own Jay (@shespeakswatch) makes a long-awaited return, and this time she's joined by fellow team members Sandy (@sandygmt), Joe (@chrono_joe) and Ron (@daddyloveswatch) who all share some unique perspective and insight for the first time on Burlingame & Park.

Longtime listeners know that we love Fears Watches, and folks close to the Caplan family know of the challenging journey that Rob and his son John have been on for the last four years, which is why this particular episode is all about a story that's been percolating for a very long time – one that's about more than just watches, and it's one that's truly a reason to celebrate. And of course it features our now four-time guest of B&P, the one and only Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, fourth generation Managing Director of the Fears Watch brand, who's here to walk us through the new Fears Redcliff 'Confetti' Burlingame Edition, available exclusively at Topper.

When it was introduced in 2005, many of us might not have realized at the time, but we were privy to a front-row seat of the launch of what would soon become a proper modern dive watch icon. Flash-forward twenty years, the boys are here to embark on their first big deep dive into two decades of the Planet Ocean, calling out subtle differences in Co-Axial movement tech, aesthetic and design changes, and what they hope the platform could become for 2025 and beyond.

The boys have braved the first big winter storm of 2025 and paddled their way to Burlingame to check out some of the coolest and newest arrivals to the store, wax nostalgic on their favorite casebacks of all time, and debate whether or not a pocket wrist shot is 'correct' when it's positioned upside-down to the camera (but 'correct' to the wearer). And listener take note: Zach is prepared to die on this hill. As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at podcast@topperjewelers.com.

2025 wasted no time in gifting us with plenty of exciting new watches, and for our first pod of the new year, the boys are tapping in with the Oris Diver 65 60th Anniversary Edition, a lovely tribute edition to an Oris original (the brand's 'little hero,' in CEO Rolf Studer's own words), and the not-so-distant-cousin of a Topper Edition we ourselves did, some 9 years ago. The boys also share a few predictions, along with their own release hopes and dreams for 2025 – with lots to unpack here, so settle in, and get a pen handy as their recommended "By the Way" watchlists are getting longer by the day.

Our final pod of 2024 is here, and we're tying one off with a few of our favorite watches of the year, including a breakdown of Omega's epic new Speedmaster Pilot – a reference illustrating the Bienne maker was really saving the best for last. All of our picks from this episode are pulled from our Top Ten roundup here on the site, so click through to see the full breakdown. Oh, and don't forget to RSVP for our final event of the year: our Holiday Party Presented by Oris, which happens on Saturday, December 14th at 5:30pm. This event will have refreshments, special gifts from Oris, and even a pop-up gift shop from IRL 'friend of the pod' Wesley, of Standard H. The list is almost full though, so if you haven't already, be sure to RSVP and we'll see you there! As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at podcast@topperjewelers.com.
