Killing Time S2E2: The Royal Family and the NBA Playoffs May 17, 2023

Welcome back to Killing Time, in which we discuss the Coronation and the Royal Family (topics Malaika is well-versed in, whereas Brynn is a passive observer). You can read about Prince, ahem, King Charles's Parmigiani here and the Queen's (Elizabeth, not Camilla) watches here. The back across the pond for a healthy dose of watch spotting thanks to the gift that keeps on giving, the NBA Playoffs. Adele's power couple watch moment is really all you need to see here. Ciao for now.

Next episode will drop in 2 weeks, where we are back to our regularly scheduled watch programming (and not just talking about BORGs, which unfortunately we can't attach an image of in the "show notes"... DM Brynn if you want it).

Killing Time Ep. 22: RM for WOMEN! And Brynn's adventures in London Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

We’re baaaack after a brief hiatus due to Brynn being ACROSS THE POND! Good to be back to discuss:

WATCH NEWS

RICHARD MILLE releases the RM 07-04 Automatic Sport, designed for women by women.

We both went to AP house on the same day (me in London, Malaika in NYC). Malaika loved the ceramic Offshore aka "The Beast" and I loved the titanium Royal Oak QP.

And neither of us got to try on the gold RO with the turquoise dial :'(

WATCH SPOTTING... we could have talked about Kim K wearing the G-Shock and the subsequent HATERS... but we're being positive today.

And then we have a nice CHINWAG about LONDON!!!!!!! Shout-out IWC for sending Brynn, but alas, everything she saw there was under embargo until the end of March.
