The watches and wonders are flowing thick and fast, and in this episode, Felix and Andy deep their toes into the latest watches from Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet. But before a surprisingly hot-take-filled recap, Felix has a little interlude with Tim Mosso from WatchBox. Tim and Felix talk superheroes (I mean, has anyone seen Tim and Batman in the same room?) when Tim and Felix pick watches for Marvel and DC's finest.
Ever wondered what Wonder Woman would wear? Regular programming continues with new watch chat and Andy revealing why he wouldn't cop a steel Nautilus at retail. Further surprises ensue when Felix goes into bat for the Code 11:59. And they both agree that while Audemars Piguet missed some major opportunities to make their debut Marvel watch (feat. Black Panther) great, watch nerds need to settle a little and remember that it's not all about them.
This episode is brought to you by WatchBox, the world's leading platform for buying, selling and trading pre-owned luxury timepieces. Have you ever wondered what sort of watch Batman, Superman, Wolverine, Iron Man and Wonder Woman would wear? Well, wonder no more as Felix and Tim Mosso pick some super watches for these classic comic heroes. Head to thewatchbox.com to look for your next watch.

This week it's an IWC party, and the guest of honour is the brand's dynamic CEO, Chris Grainger-Herr. We chat to Chris about just we he shrunk the Big Pilot, the differences between the Big Pilot 43 and the Bigger Pilot, why they decided not to use the bigger 7-day movement in the Big Pilot 43, the future of the 46mm Big Pilot, and how IWC is riding the wave of the changing nature of luxury. But it's not just IWC who got an invite this week.
We also chat with WatchBox director Brian Govberg about building the perfect watch collection for $50K. Of course, we talk about what models he'd buy, but more importantly *why* he'd buy them.

No need to beat around the bush. We spend this entire episode talking about the freshly launched Rolex and Tudor releases from Watches & Wonders 2021. From obvious talking points like Rolesor Explorers and gold Black Bays through to dial updates and not-in-the-catalogue gem-set pieces.
We talk about specific models, but we also cover off what we think about the broader trends, directions and enthusiast feedback is on these hotly debated (and hotly desired) models. Basically, if you want to know everything there is to know about Tudor and Rolex's 2021 releases, this is what you want to be listening to.

Watches & Wonders is just around the corner, and that means new releases by the bucketload. So we've put our guest schedule on hold to give these new watches the time they deserve. The headline act is Omega, with a rock-solid lineup including a brand new alloy called Bronze Gold, Seamaster Diver 300M Black Black (no prizes for guessing the primary colour here) and a dressy De Ville.
Over in the UK, Bremont have been busy making F1 deals, building wings and — you guessed it — releasing watches. Speaking of the F1, we chat about TAG Heuer's new releases, along with Glashütte Original and others. But we've saved the biggest shock of the episode till last, with Patek Philippe making a genuinely shocking administrative change. All that, plus the history of the Casio G-Shock.

In the crowded and competitive vintage watch dealing scene Eric Wind stands out. Not only is he as erudite as he is polite, but the watches he collects and trades run the gamut from exceptional to exceptionally interesting. We chat to Eric about his start in the world of watches, his business, Wind Vintage and get some tips on navigating the minefield that is buying watches online.
We hear tales from the dealer's side of the table and why Eric thinks it's so important to build a relationship with one dealer. We also dig into the pros and cons of case versus dial, the value to be had in 90s Rolex, and why insisting on a full set is a rookie move. We also chat about that one time he helped get an actual Paul Newman Daytona on the big screen in Crazy Rich Asians.

A few weeks ago, we spoke to Patek Philippe expert (Patexpert?) John Reardon about the discontinuation of the Nautilus 5711 and what it means for Patek mania. This week we're delighted to bring you part two of our chat with John, where we talk about all the other things Patek Philippe makes besides steel sports watches.
From solar clocks to pocket watches and singing birds, we go deep. There's even a live minute repeater demonstration. We find out what John thinks the next hot watch will be (hint, it's not Beta 21), what watches he's hunting down and why he thinks watches are set to overtake fine art as an auction house category in the next few years. If you like Patek, you can't afford to miss this episode.

🐊 We're all in for a wild ride this week, as we chat to Matt Wright, a man who lives breathes (and occasionally runs from) crocodiles in Australia's Northern Territory. He's a helicopter pilot, former soldier and the current host of National Geographic's show Outback Wrangler, dedicated to rescuing and relocating dangerous animals.
Matt tells us the tales of Bonecruncher and Tripod, why crocs are so important to the Australian ecosystem and what you do when a crocodile won't let go of the helicopter you're flying. We also chat about how Wright relies on G-Shock because honestly, what else would he wear. 🚁

What were you doing in 2002? Simon' Woody' Wood was busy putting together the first DIY issue of a magazine called Sneaker Freaker. Little did he know that his passion for sneakers put onto the page would turn into one of the most influential voices in the sneaker scene.
Almost 20 years on, and Sneaker Freaker is still at the top of the game. We chat to Woody about the evolution of sneaker style, what it's like to build a media business that works so closely with brands, and, as someone who's collaborated with brands regularly, how the process works and what goes into making a cult shoe. But Woody's passion also extends to wristwear — he's a passionate G-Shock collector who has made two sell-out models, the Nightowl and the Redback. We get the story behind these models and find out why Casio was ahead of the curve when engaging their core community.

Early on in our conversation with watch collecting supremo Eric Ku, he says that the best careers are born out of passion. For Ku that career started in college and the early days of the internet. It's led him around the world, hunting out the finest fresh to market vintage watches, a type of 'Indiana Jones' watch collecting that is becoming increasingly rare and difficult these days. While we're talking about legends — we ask Eric for his take on the rarest, or at least the most exciting vintage Rolex around, as well as the changing nature of watch auctions. We also talk about the enduring appeal of Cartier and the allure of the Crash as a design object with its own mythology.
Ku also talks about LA Watch Works, and the work involved in restoring a watch properly, and knowing when restoration or refinishing is the right choice. But it's not all vintage — we talk about the fine line watch brands walk when releasing historically inspired watches and why brands like IWC are doing it right.
This week's week's episode is brought to you by Australian retailer Kennedy. We chat about their online boutique, why e-commerce is the future of watch retail, and learn about the IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition 'Tribute to 3705' available exclusively online. To check out the IWC watches we discuss, as well as their wider range, visit Kennedy at kennedy.com.au
