  • 120: How do you choose between 31 watch colors? And why we love NOMOS.
    Jun 14 2024

    In this episode we talk about how we fall in love with a watch brand, and this one is NOMOS! Last year we visited Glashütte and attended the NOMOS Forum and saw the complete process of in-house manufacturing.

    We also discuss our final selections of colors for which watches we are going to buy from the Tangente 38 Date 175 Years Limited Edition series.

    Lydia's final choice (unless she changes her mind again):

    Super Sardine

    Vu's final choice:

    Haifischgrau

    Jun 11 2024

    Today we answer questions from @the_wong_watch, @late.sunday and @watchcology.

    First, how stressful is it to come up with ideas for a daily podcast? Should open case backs be standard on all watches? And which is our favorite Tudor Black Bay size?

  • 116: Playing with case shapes and dial shapes - a new trend?
    Jun 10 2024

    In this episode we talk about what seems like a resurgence of the fun case and dial shapes of the 60's and 70's. From big names like Audemars Piguet to newcomers like Anoma, interesting cases seem to be a big thing right now!

  • 115: Are some watch features just afterthoughts?
    Jun 7 2024

    Today we talk about how as enthusiasts we often are judgmental not only about watches but also the intent behind the decisions that make them. Is it likely that watch designers just don't care about certain aspects of the watch design, or is it more likely that there are other priorities at play?

    We are also borrowing three watches right now that we will talk about soon. Do you have questions about Serica watches or Atelier Wen watches that we can answer for you?

    Jun 6 2024

    Last night we went to an event hosted by Grand Seiko and Nymans Ur at the National Museum in Stockholm. Lydia found herself actually interested in listening to talks about movements, something no one saw coming, and Vu got hands on with his dream watch.

  • 113: What's a good excuse to buy a watch? New watch alert - King Seiko SPB281
    Jun 5 2024

    Vu decides he needs to buy a new watch for a very specific and perhaps ridiculous reason. And ends up buying the King Seiko SPB281 because of it.
