Seven years ago, Silas Walton founded A Collected Man, and in that time, it has grown into one of the most respected names in high-end and independent watch sales. If you’re in the market something special, be it an upper-tier independent like F. P. Journe, a connoisseur-grade Cartier or investment-level Patek, A Collected Man is the place to go (i…

Today on the pod, we chat with Collective Horology co-founder Gabe Reilly. And we’re speaking to Gabe for a very good reason because Collective has just teamed up with IWC to release the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph C.03, Which Reilly describes as a love letter to IWC. To be fair, he also describes it as that watch you would get if you time-travelled …

Adrian Barker (from Bark & Jack) is back! We get the inside story on all the YouTube drama, from increasing collaboration to the poorly planned implosion of the Timepiece Gentlemen, and the negative effect it had on the broader watch community. We also get Adrian’s take on just why so many watch YouTubers are having videos removed. Is it the algori…

Andy first met Jonathan Ferrer from Brew Watches back in 2015, at the first Worn & Wound Wind Up Watch fair. And while Brew’s heart can still be found in a good cup of coffee, the brand has evolved and matured with the times. We talk to Jonathan about balancing growth while staying true to the brand vision. Jonathan also talks about the founding im…

Robin Swithinbank’s Instagram bio reads that he’s on the frontline of luxury journalism — a position he’s held fearlessly for the last 20 years. We managed to pry Robin away from New York Times, Hodinkee and GQ deadlines to talk about the changes he’s witnessed in the previous two decades, and the changes he sees coming. With the rise of sustainabi…

This week we’re excited to have Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men back, and for a very good reason. We’re auctioning off a limited edition SevenFriday x Micah’s Voice T1/02. All funds raised support Stockman’s charity which works to support autistic children. We also talk about Shawn’s latest pickups, from Tudor, AP and Rolex as well as some straight…

If you know anything about climbing mountains, you know Reinhold Messner. The first man to climb Everest solo, Messner popularised the alpine style of climbing. Recently he’s collaborated with Montblanc to celebrate his solo crossing of the Gobi Desert. Felix talks to him about adventure, the environment and the importance of failure. Beyond that, …

This week’s episode is a bit of a two-parter. The main attraction is, of course, Felix’s chat with Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe. Recorded during Watches & Wonders earlier this year, Mr Guadalupe discusses the difficulties of working with sapphire, and Hublot came to excel in technical case materials. They also talk about the important role art play…

In this 100 per cent in-house production of OT:, Andy and Felix look back on the spicy cocktail that was August 2021 and provides some searing insight into the watch headlines. There are good news stories like a near-instant sell out of vintage pocket watches, a wee dram of anOrdain and Andy getting up to speed with the new Masenna Lab. It’s not al…

Pop the bubbles and get ready to party because OT: just clocked in 100 episodes. To celebrate, we’ve pulled out all the stops. We’ve put together some pizza-themed merch, which is as wholesome as you’d expect. But more than that, we offer the first taste of our upcoming watch collaboration, and we can’t wait to tell you more. The main course in tod…

🔥 Inspired by a chat on our community Discord, Andy and Felix dedicate this entire episode to the spiciest of hot takes. Andy takes the heat out of hype watches, while Felix disses one of the most popular complications out there. That’s the great thing about a good hot take, though — it doesn’t need to be particularly rational or even fully formed,…

Calling in from Los Angeles is today’s guest Dan Brunn, an award-winning architect whose practice is inspired by sustainability and growing up amid the Bauhaus buildings of Tel Aviv.

Today's guest is none other than Asher Rapkin. By day Asher is a marketer for Facebook, but by night he's the co-founder of Collective Horology, a community of watch lovers held together by collaborative watches. The latest collab just launched, and it's the very cool, out-of-this-world Urwerk UR100-V P.02 for Collective. We chat to Asher about wha…

This week we chat to the man who calls himself the King of Vintage. Jasper Lijfering is the man behind Amsterdam Vintage Watches and its transformation from a family business into one of the most recognised watch dealers online, thanks to a combination of hard work, social media smarts and transparency. Jasper tells us about the ups and downs of li…

This week Andy and Felix are talking about some of the highlight watches from Only Watch, a bi-annual charity auction consisting only of … you guessed it … watches. But more than that, it’s an auction of one-of-a-kind pieces, and things get a little wild. This year there are 54 pieces submitted, including a HAND-some F.P. Journe (made in collaborat…

This week Andy goes on a solo mission, chatting to Edouard Meylan, the charismatic and thoughtful CEO of H. Moser. From how the Meylan's acquired the legacy brand and what the future holds, through to the importance of community in brand building, we quickly learn that Moser does things a little different. Nowhere is that more apparent than with th…

Joe Salanitri is one leg of the tripod that is Sooshi Mango. The comedy trio shot to fame on social media thanks to their witty response to the pandemic and their incredibly accurate portrayal of multicultural Australian life. We chat to Joe about whether we should have masks on (or off), the changing nature of comedy and the importance of punching…

In a shocking twist of events, today’s guest is … nobody! Instead, Andy and Felix roll out some good old-fashioned Watch Making for Robert, who’s in the market for a well-priced, heirloom grade watch. Robert will also go down in history for penning Andy and Felix’s couple name. On top of that, it’s halfway through the year, so the perfect time for …

Today’s guest is the cool, calm and collected Cole Pennington from Hodinkee. We got up with Cole fresh from a stint in Thailand, a country close to his watch-collecting heart and one with a special relationship with Seiko. Speaking of Seiko, Cole and Felix politely disagree about the legendary Monster, and Cole talks about the one that got away. We…

In addition to being one of the original streamers and one of Minecraft’s first employees, Lydia Winters is also super into her watches, as anyone who follows her dedicated watch account @enjoythewatches will know. On the professional side, we find out just what a ‘Chief Storyteller’ does and how Lydia started streaming in the wild days of the inte…

In the world of high-end independent watchmaking, Max Büsser is a king. Well, maybe not a king; he’s more of an alchemist, somehow turning his dreams into incredible creations of steel, gold and sapphire. While this romantic vision is pretty accurate, it’s only part of the picture. Max tells us about the anger and frustration that caused MB&F to be…

This week Andy and Felix talk to Chris Hall, a man steering the watch content of one of the most influential online retailers in the business, Mr Porter. Before that, though, they discuss the watches they’ve seen in the last week, including the new IWC AMG collab and the latest and greatest new releases from Cartier. But back to Chris. Taking up th…

South African-born professional explorer Mike Horn has lived a heck of a life. He's sailed around the world 27 times, walked around it three times, crossed Antarctica and summited some of the world's highest peaks. And he's down much of it with a Panerai on his wrist. But before we get to Mike, Andy and Felix chat about some of Panerai's latest rel…

Now that Watches & Wonders is firmly in our rearview mirrors and the dust has settled, we thought it was high time to do some soul-searching and come up with our favourite releases from the virtual fair. Felix, in typical fashion, went a little weird and focused on some less-hyped releases and, in a spectacular cop-out move, picked every single col…
