Rob and Zach are back, recording from the center of the watch collecting universe at the intersection of Burlingame & Park, this time with a guest: our good friend Joe Kirk, Brand Curator at Grand Seiko.

Finally, we can lift the lid on a secret we've been keeping since 2019: our long-awaited collab with beloved Vancouver indie Halios Watches. For Episode 5, Rob and Zach check in with special guests Jason Lim (Founder of Halios) and our good friend OT – Halios collector and local community lynchpin, who was instrumental in helping bring the Halios Universa "Topper Edition" to life. We also learn about Rob's basketball obsession, make our predictions for the NBA Finals, and share a fun bit of listener feedback. Keep those reviews coming – Rob loves to read them!

Show notes

Episode 4 takes Zach and Rob on-location to the San Francisco edition of the Worn & Wound WindUP show, where we link up with our first guest: Oris CEO of the Americas, VJ Geronimo to chat about the hottest Oris watch since the Diver 65, the Pro PilotX "Kermit Edition." But why Kermit? Why the Muppets? And what could be next for this wildly creative crossover? Well, Rob has some ideas, and you're not going to want to miss them. As always, thanks for listening, and many thanks to our friend VJ for joining B&P!

EP3: Outrageous Claims and Throwing Shades Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

A day late, but not a dollar short – this week, Zach and Rob are holding court while Russ gets his spring skiing fix. We make outrageous claims about the origins of the term GADA (ed: Zach definitely didn't coin this – it appears previously on the web, as early as 2015) as we chat about the capability and many colors of the spectacular Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 'Shades' collection which debuted in the metal at Topper's inaugural First Look event. We also share our favorite impressions from this special community gathering, from the "technicolor dreamcoat" Zodiac Super Sea Wolf to the disruptive Oris Kermit to the wildly capable Blancpain Tech Gombessa. As always, thanks for listening!
