EP56: A Rare Look Inside "The Farm" Jul 18, 2025

Show notes

Fan-favorite guest Jay (@shespeakswatch) is back in the hot seat to share her latest watchmaking adventure: a journey to Switzerland's famed Vallée de Joux for a peek inside "the farm," the haute horology arm of the Blancpain manufacture. But this wasn't just any production visit, and there was nary a Fifty Fathoms to be seen, because as Jay explains, this was a rare, exclusive look at how some of the maker's most prestigious creations come to life.

EP55: Nine Perfect Summer Watches Jul 04, 2025

What is the perfect summer watch? Is it a colorful, affordable Seiko? Or a burly dive watch bristling with all the latest technology? Or perhaps a hybrid combination of both? This week on the pod, the guys each pick three of their favorite summer watches in a spirited roundtable style draft where only one trio will emerge victorious. With "Summer Vibes," "Under $1,000" and "Any Price" as our key categories, whose picks do you think came out on top?

EP54: How the Superocean Made Waves in 1957 feat. Breitling Global Head of Heritage Gianfranco Gentile Jun 20, 2025

Show notes

Fresh off the heels of Breitling's summer blockbuster release of the Superocean Heritage, the boys had a chance to sit down with Breitling's Global Head of Heritage Gianfranco Gentile to talk about the origins of this unique dive watch, and how it made such a lasting impact since its launch in 1957 – an impact that still persists, now with the launch of the newest Heritage line nearly 70 years later. And be sure to stick around for a Universal Geneve & Gallet teaser, as these are also both brands that Gianfranco is directly involved with!

EP53: What a Manufacture Visit Teaches Us About Life Jun 06, 2025

Show notes

This week on Burlingame & Park, Russ is in Las Vegas for the Couture show, so we tapped Topper's very own Jay Liu, who just returned from a life-changing visit to the Parmigiani manufacture in Fleurier. Rob is also freshly returned from a visit to the Omega manufacture in Bienne, and together, these two visits formed very distinctly different, but opposing sides of the same watchmaking coin, and we break it all down on this week's episode.

EP52: Our Spiciest Subway Takes with Worn & Wound Co-Founder Zach Weiss May 16, 2025

And of course it features our now four-time guest of B&P, the one and only Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, fourth generation Managing Director of the Fears Watch brand, who's here to walk us through the new Fears Redcliff 'Confetti' Burlingame Edition, available exclusively at Topper.
