Episode 22: Watches & Wonders 2026 - We React!

Life & Watches with Horology Republic ·

2026/04/24

Larry and Zachary sit down to talk about some of the releases from Watches & Wonders 2026. Some were hits, some were misses, but overall the designs showed restraint (for the most part) and display an evolving watch culture centered around the push and pull of Swiss executives and the consumers they pretend to listen to.

Zac and Larry return to discuss integrated sports watches through the lens of IWC. The Ingenieur: Does it belong? Is it kind of an oddball? Could it simply be relegated to an also-ran? We unpack this and discuss what it means to have this particular model in IWC's catalog these days when the integrated sports watch has seen a resurgence and even another slight fading back into relative obscurity.

2025/10/27

Zac and Larry sit down in a mostly unscripted episode to discuss what makes a thoughtful watch move when planning your next purchase. Is it the name? Is the material? Is it something else? We took a look at what it means to each of us to make a decision not based on external hype and instead, focus on what matters to us as individual collectors. We also discussed some recent releases and how they may be targeting those on the fence for a certain brand, style, or watch material. In the

Episode 19: The Rolex X Swatch Swatchtona

2025/09/07

Larry and Zac dive into the week's shenanigans with the discussion of the "Swatchtona" they posted jointly. What was funny? What were the negative comments? Would the Swatch Group and Rolex EVER made something like this which we all know would break the internet? We discuss this in detail and ponder what our alternate-universe selves think in the one other universe where this actually exists. Either way, we're definitely jealous of the mirror universe Zac and Larry who have these on their

Episode 17: Is the OMEGA Aqua Terra the "baby Piaget?"

NOTE: Since it's summer, there is some travel involved and the usual microphone setup was unavailable. Little different audio this time on Zac's end, but we made it work and made some content for you to enjoy nonetheless.We ran with Larry's question: Is the Aqua Terra a baby Piaget Polo? Maybe, maybe not. If you're a die-hard AT fan, this could be an abrasive question because most OMEGA guys are protective of their watches and designs. We mean no disrespect (usually), but it's a fun

2025/06/23

Zachary, Brian, and Mi Nam explore whether Summer 2025 is the summer of GOLD. Since many in our circles seem to be eyeing solid gold pieces this season, we wondered if it's actually something that's hot right now or if it's one of those "if you want a red car, you see red cars everywhere" types of things. From sporty gold to dressy, we examine what gold might have to do with this season's "in" watches. We further explore some of the dealer and watch market nuances and focus on whether

Discussing pieces from Rado to Rolex, we talked with a fellow watch lovers about what makes a good collab. Is CW making pieces for everyone or is the Bel Canto a Magnum Opus?

Larry and Zac pick out their choices for what to wear during Summer 2025. From the easier-to-afford side of the market to things which might require a little more working capital and patience, we named our choices for summer watches. But what exactly is a summer watch? Well, we took a look at why we think these choices fit the bill and what about them lends to this decision. While any watch could be worn for summer, sometimes you want to make sure you have something appropriate for the

The regular crew shuffles in to talk about whether CW bringing more "high horology" concepts to the masses will work out in the long term or if it's just a jazzed up piece. Are they pushing the envelope of what's possible at lower pricing? Are they growing as a company? Is anyone even trying to make any money on these or is it just complaining all over the internet? We take a look and unpack whether these types of pieces are worth looking into and if they help create a legacy like more

2025/04/18

Zac and Brian discuss the recent trip Zac made to the Rolex AD where he heard some confirming statements about how some of these watches get allocated. While the takeaway seems pretty fair, it still is interesting to hear it from the source and understand what goes into actually getting the call. With that, though, we explored how that makes some people (Zac) look elsewhere in the secondary market when the waiting game becomes too much. You'll have to excuse us, we were a little under

So now that the dust has effectively settled in Geneva, we explore whether the steam has run out for the show. Sure, all the people with appointments need to file through in the days after the big reveals, but we couldn't help but ponder if, by lunchtime on Wednesday, the bottom had dropped out. We also take a look at what the trade show really is and how it's evolved ever so slightly from the Baselworld days. Plus, with other watch shows peppering the calendar, does this give brands

Tyler joins Zac and Brian this week to discuss a topic which comes across many of the areas we frequent: aftermarket straps. Do you go in on the cheap side? Shell out for the good stuff? Do you stick with brands you know or try something new? Do you even stray from OEM? We unpack this topic and explore some options for those folks who may not be quite sure how to choose an aftermarket strap. There are certainly enough choices to overwhelm most people who may in the market, so we
