This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the conversation starts with watches, traditions, and how certain design ideas get passed around as fact, even when no one fully agrees on where they came from. From there, things quickly drift into watch etiquette, including whether guilloché is meant to be admired quietly or kept well away from people with curious fingers. The crew dives into Jay Leno’s approach to watch collecting, why curiosity matters more than status, and how a non-Cartier Tank can sometimes

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the team asks the only question that matters: “Are we Hublot or are we dancer”? What begins as a discussion of Cloud Dancer color palettes quickly becomes a full identity audit for one of the boldest brands in the industry, complete with Rick’s Big Bang Convergence Theory making yet another appearance. From winter editions shown in Dubai to snowflake rotors and unexpected design choices, the crew explores why Hublot watches are always equal parts fascination and

This week’s episode begins with a hearty round of “clappage” for a €1,500 Omega dial book that looks like it was assembled during mandatory arts and crafts time, with hand glued pages, candlelit workshops, and enough fumes to convince someone this was a good idea, sparking what becomes the Watch Chime Anti Climax saga as the guys marvel at how brands keep uninventing printing and romanticizing hand binding as if the entire history of modern machines never happened. That sends everyone straight into

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, and Ripley dive straight into the chaos of modern watchmaking and immediately land in the world of Death By Line Extension, a place where brands keep serving new colors and new variations faster than anyone can remember the last thing they released. As Ariel and David just returned from Dubai Watch Week, Ariel explains that someone asked if he was tired of watches, which is hilarious to him because he seems to have a strange superpower that allows him

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, David, and Ripley settle in for a wonderfully chaotic ride through the watch world as they pick apart the GPHG results with the kind of disbelief usually reserved for tax bills and airport delays, wondering aloud how a collection of chronographs that no human can physically read ended up representing the best of the year. After David signs off to begin his travels, Rick and Ripley carry on with a rapid-fire tour of the latest drops, including the Dryden

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, Rick, and Ripley kick off with a philosophical spin on time itself before diving into the irony of Phillips celebrating a watch that resold for less than before, and how auction houses keep fueling inflated prices that manipulate market perception. Ariel revisits his article on the realities of watch auctions, exploring how media hype perpetuates unrealistic valuations. The group then shifts to the retail side as Ariel breaks down why the luxury watch

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the show kicks off in the best kind of chaos as Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley dive straight into the bizarre world of Casio’s new AI-powered pet, the Moflin, a furry robot companion that sparks a hilariously unhinged debate about whether Casio has gone too far or stumbled into genius-level diversification. Between jokes about Furbies, USB charging ports, and data-collecting guinea pigs, the crew manages to make sense of it all before officially starting the show

This week’s aBlogtoWatch Weekly is part philosophy seminar, part farmyard documentary. Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley debate whether COSC should start certifying desks and chocolate, ponder the “tonic immobility” of watches, and introduce a new segment — Show Within a Show — featuring a brand (Hublot), a rant (Mecha-Quartz), and a novice question (Equation of Time).Elsewhere, the team explores whether novelty is just a fancy word for “same watch, new colour,” Ariel teaches everyone the phrase

This week’s episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly serves up a stir-fry of watch talk, fast food analogies, and hot sauce banter. Rick kicks things off with his thoughts on "the watch recognition experience" before diving into notable new releases from Grand Seiko, Doxa, and Tudor. From Tudor’s new moonphase strategy to the nuances of the Doxa 750T, the discussion reveals how brand positioning and regional markets shape today’s watch landscape.

This episode of the aBlogtoWatch Weekly Podcast starts with cooking-and-wine banter before serving up a full course of watch talk — from the buzz around Dubai Watch Week (and the city's surprisingly good dining scene) to the eternal tug-of-war between hobbyists and luxury buyers. Celebrity endorsements get side-eyed for hype over substance, while Watches & Wonders is hailed as the big stage for fresh releases. The team celebrates wild designs like Roger Dubuis’s Knights of the Round Table,

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, David, and Ripley take the reins while Rick is away (Vacation? Sick? Secretly testing a smartwatch/tractor collab prototype?) And the conversation spins faster than a tourbillon on espresso. They roast Patek’s new Cubitus (“Nautilus that went wrong?”), debate whether a $220K Greubel Forsey in steel is worth it for the mirror-polished backplate that mostly reflects your arm hair, and spar over whether watchmakers should run brands or leave it to the marketers

Fresh from Geneva Watch Days, the crew dives into highlights from the event. Fears Watch gets high marks for models that feel handcrafted without being too precious to actually wear. H. Moser, always the provocateur, is praised for its gutsy designs — though the point is made that telling the time shouldn’t require a PhD in horology or a pair of binoculars. The Berneron Quantième Annual Calendar wins the day as a rare complication that’s both clever and actually usable. Zenith takes the award for

This episode of the ABTW Weekly Podcast proves that time really is relative — especially if you’re a watch collector trying to survive daylight savings. The team kicks things off by pondering the baffling relationship between time zones and watches — shouldn't every new release come with a PhD in geography? The guys move on to the topic of celebrity endorsements, because nothing says “luxury horology” quite like a B-list actor pretending to love a brand they can’t pronounce. The material debate

This week’s episode starts off in familiar aBlogtoWatch fashion — lighthearted banter, a touch of mischief, and just enough side-eye at industry quirks to keep things interesting. The first eyebrow-raiser? Tim Cook’s awkward watch-related gift to Donald Trump, a moment that sparks a wider discussion on the sometimes-clumsy dance between corporations, politics, and tariffs. And those tariffs aren’t just awkward— they’re a genuine threat to the U.S. luxury watch market, nudging brands to rethink their

In this episode, Rick, David and Ripley fire up the engines and roast the rubber right off the horological racetrack, starting with F1 sponsorships. Richard Mille is, not surprisingly, everywhere — possibly even sponsoring Nico Hülkenberg’s breakfast cereal, though sadly not his wrist. Bremont and Oris get a few pity laps around the F1 circuit, too, mostly to remind us they exist. Then comes the GPHG segment, where Bernie Watch’s entry is dissected with surgical sarcasm, and the entry fee gets more

This week, Ariel, Rick, David, and Ripley are back with a wrist-worn whirlwind of hilarity, horology, and Hungarian heroes. This week's ceremonial clap-in goes to the Sowind Group for being one of Switzerland's "best managed companies". (We are just as confused as you are). Ariel gets serious with a thought-provoking take on how luxury brands are selling “desirability” while consumers crave substance and value. Is the era of genuine innovation behind us? Hungarian folklore meets
