In this episode Lydia talks about her trip to Schaffhausen to visit the IWC manufacture with Nymans Ur, and the coolest Ingenieur she’s seen yet!
We finally got hands on with 47ZERO Watches! In this episode we talk about why these watches really drew us in and the powerful story of overcoming adversity and turning a traumatic event into the beautiful and thoughtful designs behind them.See them at 47zero.com Note: We were lent these watches by 47Zero, and had to send them back. We didn’t get paid or compensated in any way, and 47Zero didn’t get to request or approve any content we made about them.
Lydia takes us on a deep dive into movement decoration, some of the history, the techniques, and we discuss yet again whether casebacks should be closed!
We have been gone for 6 weeks, but we are back this week! We discuss a bit about what has happened, what is coming, and our plans to finish out the year with this podcast.
We're back! We had an unplanned break and missed two episodes, but we're back and in this episode we talk about an amazing watch event Lydia attended, and a new Glashütte Original that our friend bought!
In this episode Lydia takes us through a bit of history and information about both perpetual and annual calendars, and we talk about which watches we are most interested in.

In this episode we talk about Lydia's quote in Bentley Magazine and find out that asking AI about yourself can actually be quite nice.

Britt's Video
In this episode we answer a question by our dear friend Owen, that he came up with in the midst of international travel airport boredom, that we couldn't help but answer. What dog would your favorite watch be? The answers we got from some of you are surprisingly insightful!
In this episode we discuss a recently released post by Chrono24 detailing the results of a survey they had conducted about first time luxury watch buyers.

In this episode we talk about some of the watch news we have found interesting in the last week. Watches from Moser/Studio Underdog, Longines, Sarpaneva, Laurent Ferrier, and King Seiko.
In this episode we answer a questioner from Jordi about how we actually time things with mechanical watches. Except for a very select and expensive few watches, there aren't many options in mechanical watches for minute-level accuracy timers which actually notify you. So, what are we to do?
We also talk a little about the new Apple Watches and some of the very watch industry terminology they seem to be using when talking about their Apple Watch (don't call it a smart watch!).
In today's episode we discuss the recently released Biver Automatique, and the fact that the MoonSwatch is now FINALLY available online! Well, sort of.
In this episode Vu asked an AI to recommend 6 watches for his stylish but adventurous partner that were between $3000 and $10000. Then he asked her to react to them.
In this episode we answer a question from @time2_myself about the best season to buy watches, and from @watch.hightower about collecting other things that pair with watches.
In this episode we answer a question from @watchmedicine about what dress watch we would choose from the Holy Trinity, and a question from @time.the.destroyer about whether or not we'd consider moving to Switzerland.
In this episode we answer a question from @see_me_watch about what's more important in watch buying decisions, the dial, or the movement?
We use a couple of Grand Seikos that Vu is extremely interested in as examples:
Grand Seiko SLGW003
Grand Seiko SLGW005
