Killing Time with Brynn and Malaika

Latest Episodes:

Killing Time Ep. 11: The Cartier Pebble, Richard Mille’s SMILEY and STYLE! Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

Aaaand we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming with:

WATCH NEWS discussing the Cartier Pebble re-release and the Richard Mille Smiley.

WATCH SPOTTING is a bit dry so we don’t spend too much time on that… but we DID have the pleasure of spending time Misty Copeland, Principal Dancer with American Ballet Theatre and one of Breitling's brand ambassadors. Malaika's interview with her dropping soon.

Then we discuss watches and STYLE, a topic Malaika is well versed in. A vague description so you’ll just have to listen to find out ;)

Killing Time Ep. 10: We're Back! Antics from Switzerland Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

We're baaaaaack after a 3 week hiatus. Brynn was in Switzerland, kicking off her luxurious holiday with an Audemars Piguet press trip, proceeding to travel the Swiss countryside, then ending it all with a press trip with Girard-Perregaux, in which she and MALAIKA were reunited! This episode has no watch news or celebrity watch spotting, it's just a good ol' chin wag.

Killing Time Ep. 9: IT'S CARA TIME with Cara Barrett Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to Killing Time! For episode 9 we have invited a very special guest: Cara Barrett, founder of children’s watch brand Parchie and formerly an editor at HODINKEE. Cara has been in the watch biz for over a decade, so we grill her about then vs. now and get all the thé.

She also joins us for…

WATCH NEWS, in which we discuss the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon RD#3 and the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph releases.

We also talk WATCH SPOTTING, featuring Zendaya wearing her boyfriend’s Rolex Daytona Panda.

Then… IT’S CARA TIME! Enjoy!!!!

Killing Time Ep. 8: Colorful New Releases, Timothée Chalamet and the Rolex Suite at the US Open Sep 09, 2022

Show notes

Hello hello and welcome to Episode 8, which is one of Malaika's lucky numbers.

This week in Watch News we discuss a few new releases, including the blue ceramic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Urwerk UR-100V ULTRAVIOLET.

For Watch Spotting, we discuss Timotay Chalamay's Cartier moment at the Venice Film Festival... and his RED HALTER TOP RED CARPET moment. We also discuss Zendaya at the US Open, Bowen Yang wearing Massena Lab, Liz Truss's fake Piaget and Jerry Seinfeld's f*ckboy KITH campaign. (We also discuss the Queen briefly. RIP. We recorded this the evening prior to her passing.)

Then we get into the meat and potatoes of the pod, which is, of course, talking about press trips. Brynn went out east with Longines for the Hampton Classic horse show and came up on a watch.

Malaika feasted on the raw bar in the Rolex suite at the US Open and saw Serena's (maybe) last victory on the court. Later in the week, Brynn had pigs in a blanket at the Rolex suite at the US Open and was in the front row watching their 18-year old testimonee and absolute powerhouse, Coco Gauff.

Ciao for now xoxo

Killing Time Ep. 7: Bulgari Bulgari Bulgari, The Curse of Rose Gold and Princess Diana Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

Bonjouuur. This week, for lucky episode number 7, we get into the latest watch news – which are the exciting new releases coming out of Geneva Watch Days. Stealing this show is Bulgari, with two striking iterations of their architectural Octo Finissimo: the YELLOW GOLD brown dial version (for the US market only, mind you) and the mirror-finish "Sejima Edition." Also, we gush over a couple Serpentis, notably the Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon. And don't forget the Sailor Moon Baby-G. We also talk at LENGTH about rose gold, a topic Malaika wrote about with passion in the latest HODINKEE Mag. For Watch Spotting, we discuss Serena Williams's triumphant singles victory at the US Open, in which she's wearing a Royal Oak Offshore (a favorite of hers, she is an Audemars Piguet Ambassador after all). We also gloss over Jacquemus's glam wedding and the vintage Hermès x JLC watch worn by one of his fabulous guests. Then we get into a topic very near and dear to Malaika's heart: Princess Diana. We discuss the latest HBO doc "The Princess", Lady Di's emotionally-charged watch collection, the Revenge Dress and the deeply powerful hold she still has on the people of Great Britain. Have you box of Kleenex handy. That's all for this week. Ciao for now

Killing Time Ep. 6: Malaika's Big News, Supreme Rumors, Monterey Car Week, Baignoire Babes and Beanie Babies Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

For Episode 6, we dive into watch news and share Malaika’s big announcement – joining HODINKEE as their Style Editor! Next, we give our take on the Supreme x Rolex rumors – diving into an actual release, which is the new Seiko x Supreme clock – and reminisce about Beanie Babies. Watch spotting this week is all about Cartier Baignoire babes, both past and present. Malaika was out of town for Monterey Car week with Rolex, hence why this episode is coming out better late than never. But you get to live vicariously through her luxurious trip to the California coast. We conclude by gushing overt the world’s largest collection of Patek Philippe Electronic Clocks, presented by Collectability in NYC. Stay till the end for a little Love Island surprise.

Killing Time Ep. 5: Brand Ambassador Royalty Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

This week, we discuss the ménage à quatre collab that is RUF x Bamford x Highsnobiety TAG Heuer watch and the newest edition to the Grand Seiko Sport Collection.

We also discuss BRAND AMBASSADORS! Kind of a whirlwind here... no links for you to peruse... just ride with us.

And then celeb wrist spotting is left for the end, with the late, great Issey Miyake and his TTRO and Saucy Santana and an iced out RO. MATERIAL GWORL!

You know you love us, xoxo.
