Burlingame & Park

"Always the bridesmaid, never the bride" as the saying could go for Longines, but in 2026, the refreshed 3-hand Hydroconquest is the hottest ticket in town, and the boys are here to break it all down while sharing thoughts on a few new releases from Seiko and Omega, while Russ does his best to not get in trouble while offering a sneak peek of a new brand coming to Topper later this year.

For the first time in more than a few weeks, the boys are all back under one roof on a sunny day in Burlingame to chat about all the latest watch news, a few new arrivals (including an NWA for Zach), and to speculate on the all-important Omega 'teaser' on the wrist of Delroy Lindo at the Oscar's ceremony.

"Ebel Gisele Brasilia" – say that five times fast! This week, the boys go so far off the beaten path you'd think they were on a completely different podcast. But this is indeed Burlingame & Park, and once the ship is finally brought back around (after a lengthy deleted tangent on the Concord Watch Company and a heavily edited tangent on the Ebel Brasilia), the boys are sharing thoughts on the biggest G-Shock update in 40 years, along with a little behind-the-scenes look at Topper's second collaboration with DOXA, and a return to the shadowy Farallon Islands off the coast of San Francisco.

Ever wondered how a 38mm watch could wear large? Or how a 46mm watch could feel more like a 42? This week, the boys are packing a pair of digital calipers to unpack an optical illusion and solve an age-old mystery on why size certainly matters, but perhaps not using the traditional watch measurements we're accustomed to seeing.

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.
