Episode 38: Definitely Not Iconic
Description
Erik & Max are attempting the least-searchable list ever: what are the most un-iconic watches of all time? We all hate browsing listings and auctions only to see iconic watch after iconic watch. It’s meaningless as an adjective. This week’s episode pokes fun at the phrase by finding great watches that no one could possibly call iconic, alternative that are better just not definitely not icons. Erik & Max even dare here to ask what the first Daytona was. Discussion ranges from Phidias to Flageollet and even JLC’s likeness to Lange. Plus, an only wrist for sommelier.
