Today we chat with veteran footballer and Head coach of Sydney FC, Steve Corica. We chat to Steve about the changing profile of football in Australia, what it's like to make the move from player to coach and how technology and science are changing the game. And given that Edifice is a fresh team sponsor, we chat about the importance of timing and the culture of footballers' watches.
In other news, Andy must have been enjoying a spice-heavy diet recently, as he's full of hot takes. First up, he makes some strong arguments as to why watch spotting is played out and needs to fade away. From then on, we ponder just what it would take for Franck Muller to return to its early noughties glory (Felix is sceptical).

This week's guest is one of the top five James' we've ever had on the show, vintage expert and the man behind Analog:Shift, James Lamdin. James drops his knowledge about how the vintage landscape has changed since he's been in the game, including what a massive influx of new watch enthusiasts means for the market.
From the story behind Analog/Shift - from its inception in 2012 through to its acquisition by Watches of Switzerland in 2020. We tackle that perennial chestnut of defining a vintage watch, as well as Bond villainy and under-rated Aston Martins.
This episode is sponsored by Edifice watches. Listen in to hear what Andy and Felix think about the EQB1100 collection, packed with solar power, Bluetooth and more. You can find out more at Edifice Australia here.

Jonny Garrett is the founder of William Woods Watches, a brand that — uniquely in the world of watches — makes timepieces inspired by fire services the world over. The brand is named after Jonny's grandfather and is celebrating its fifth birthday this year. We chat to Jonny about the importance of giving back, how up-cycling is integrated into every watch and how William Wood's watch design has evolved over the years. We also find out a few very special surprises Jonny has on hand to celebrate the big 0-5, like a bold bronze number and a pretty wild custom bike. On top of that, Felix and Andy chat about girding themselves for Watches & Wonders.

Game, set and Matt. Today's guest is Matt Ebden, one of Australia's best tennis pros, and we speak to him fresh from the 2022 Australian Open, where he and Max Purcell made it to the men's doubles final. Beyond his obvious on-court skills, anyone checking out Ebden's Instagram will notice he's a pretty keen watch enthusiast as well, so it's no surprise that he's got Bremont on board as a sponsor. We chat about the many links between pro athletes and fine timepieces, brand endorsements and connected watches on the court. Before they chat to Matt, Andy and Felix ponder what a watch with Jean-Claude Biver's name on the dial would look like.

This week we keep it local with Nick Kenyon, the editor of Australian site Boss Hunting. But before he was talking yachts, rocks and crocs he was a full-time watch guy, having worked with Felix at Time+Tide. Nick drops knowledge on the current watch market, how the niche influences the mainstream and what the anOrdain Model 2 OT: Edition is like on the wrist. Plus, Felix hypes up 1999 and Andy throws his dad under the bus.

No time for guests when we've got so much hard-hitting watch news to digest. First of all, two titans in their respective fields square off: it's Ed Sheeran V Ben Clymer in 50 minutes of civilised watch chat. Then we escalate into the world of bright blue watches, with Zachary Lu being revealed as the (eventual) buyer of the first Tiffany blue Nautilus auctioned off by Phillips for a cool $6 million. From there, we talk about the Arnault's chess-flex, and Succession style rumours of corporate takeovers, along with new management for AP, new owners for GP and UN, and finally, some new TAG Heuer. Honestly, this episode has it all.

A lot has changed for The Vamps guitarist James McVey since we chatted to him in 2020. He's managed to get married, and we get to hear the finer details of wedding watches, cars and castles. On top of that, McVey has fallen deeper down the rabbit-hole of watches, discovering microbrands, G-shock and Bremont. As if that wasn't enough, he's also managed to track down his grail Rolex — and is getting ready to wear it all over the world. But before the main course, Andy and Felix talk about spicy crypto bros, Ricky Gervais and why Bobby Bourke from Queer Eye needs a watch brand deal.

Think about high-end guilloché and chances are, you think about a chalet-like Maison somewhere in the snowy Swiss hills. The urban sprawl of Los Angeles, California — not so much. Nonetheless, this is where some of the finest engine turning in the world is being created right now — thanks to Joshua Shapiro. We chat with Shapiro about the fine art of engine turning, and what it's like to invent your own unique guilloché pattern. Shapiro talks about what drives his watchmaking and why — even if perfection isn't humanly possible — it's still worth pursuing. We cover off collaboration, and Shapiro teases some details about the possibility of a Californian-made Shapiro Movement. And just in case that wasn't enough, Andy and Felix ponder the next big thing in watches.

This week we immerse ourselves for an hour in the world of one of the world's hottest (and hardest working) custom jewellers. A lot's changed since we originally chatted to Greg Yuna in mid-2020, but he's still out there, messing up factory watches and making them cooler in the process.
Not too long into our interview with iconic NYC jeweller Greg Yuna, he asks to speak freely. "I like fucking the watches up. I like ruining them." Of course, he's doing nothing of the sort — his stone setting of Patek, AP and Rolex is up there with the best (he's called The Cleanest for a reason). While some purists might argue that this sort of custom work is sacrilegious, Yuna has a long list of clients, including Drake, Meek Mill, Floyd Mayweather and Ariana Grande who would argue the opposite. But Yuna's work ethic is as flawless as his stones — the man does not stop and is always onto the next thing, be that a stone dialled Rolex Day-Date, consulting on and appearing Adam Sandler's Uncut Gems, launching a new line of jewellery or helping sell the Jacob & Co 'Billionaire' watch. Do not miss this. You'll laugh, you'll learn, you'll be inspired.

This week we look back at one of our (especially Andy's) all-time favourite episodes; our chat with James Cox, the man who sold Paul Newman's Paul Newman …
On the 26th of October, 2017, after 12 minutes of bidding, a Rolex Daytona reference 6239 that belonged to legendary actor Paul Newman was sold for $17,752,500 USD (including premiums). It's widely regarded as the most significant watch auction to date, not just for the hammer price achieved, but for the significance of the watch. In the room was James Cox, who, for decades, wore that watch on his wrist. That was nearly three years ago now, so we thought it was high time to catch up with James and revisit the story of 'Paul Newman's Paul Newman', how it ended up on James' wrist. We talk about what he's done with the millions of dollars (hint: making the world a better place), why even he can't get a new Daytona at retail, and what watch has replaced the most famous Rolex in the world.
