A few weeks ago, today's guest set the internet ablaze with her considered and articulate column on women's watches. Cara Barrett has been part of the Hodinkee team since 2015, and her perspective on everything from Patek Philippe to pop culture is both considered and insightful.
Today we chat to Cara about her column, the feedback from it and what she would like to see change in the world of women's watches. We also talk about what it's like to work at Hodinkee as the business scales up, as well as the specifics of her role, creating limited editions and collaborative pieces. Unfortunately, she's too good at her job and managed not to tell us anything about Hodinkee's upcoming limited editions, but still, this long interview with Cara is practically required listening.

Something a little different for today's episode. The new releases are coming out thick and fast, so much so that we felt we could justify an entire episode on the latest and greatest watches of 2021. In addition to some legal drama involving Rolex in Chicago, Andy and Felix chat about the latest from Seiko and Grand Seiko, a Breitling with a local connection and another sell-out Hodinkee collab, this time with TAG Heuer.
On top of that, there's news from Montblanc, a technical new Omega and a spicy trio from everyone's favourite Germans, Nomos Glashütte. Tune in for our takes, and if you have any thoughts about this style of show, let us know.

Regrets. We have a few. This week Felix and Andy jump in the way back machine and take a trip to the year 2011, back when Charlie Sheen's watches were topical and the Daytona got its first ceramic bezel. It was also a time when watch collecting was seemingly simpler and when Felix wishes he'd eased up on the Instagram filters.
Andy also got proactive and put a poll up on the 'gram and asked what people wished they knew 10 years ago — and alongside all the inevitable 'buy steel Rolex' responses, we got some really sensible and practical advice, such as "a watch can look great, but not wear great" and "it's worth waiting for what you want". In addition to all the advise, it's interesting to look back only a few years and see how much has changed in the watch collecting space. Dive back in time, you won't regret it.

John Reardon has spent the last two decades surrounded by Patek Philippe; either in his roles at major auction houses or when he worked for the company in New York. So when news of the discontinuation of the famous (and impossible to acquire) Nautilus 5711 surfaced in the days before our interview, we knew we had to ask John about it.
And, as you might expect from one of the world's leading Patek experts, he had some thoughts, particularly about the skyrocketing prices we're seeing at the moment: "I think we're going to look back at this as a market blip. The fact that that we're seeing them for over $100K US, I find — as an historian — almost laughable." To find out why Reardon thinks the hype is nonsensical, we get some context on the model, and just what a 'discontinuation' means for Patek Philippe. Essential listening.

Adam needs a new watch. He's thinking of a Speedmaster, but he wants some more options. Which is where Watch Matchmaker comes to help. Adam sent us an email, and we fired up the search engines, converted our currencies and came up with six chronographs, both wild and wonderful.
From obscure Omega's to dressy salmon dials and a hot new heritage reissue, there's plenty of options, all of them good. The only question — which one will Adam go for?

Adam's Brief
I currently have my grandfathers Enicar in my collection, as well as a Hamilton Jazzmaster. I've resisted the temptation to buy other cheaper watches, as my eyes have been fixed on an Omega Speedmaster professional for a number of years, falling in love with the look and the story of the watch. I recently turned 30, and settled on the sapphire crystal with display back model. However, then your podcast came along, and now I'm not so sure. Thanks for that. I want an everyday watch, that I can beat around in. A chronograph or dive watch I think. I like a watch with history or story behind it. I've already turned 30, so I don't want to wait much longer. My budget is $7K. Thoughts are appreciated.

"Shaving truffle is like flying private: if you're the one filming, you ain't the one paying." Just one of the pearls of wisdom today's guest, Ted Gushue, drops on the regular. There are a few reasons we've wanted Ted on the pod for a while, and his wit is just a part of it. Ted leads a fascinating life. Something of a nomad, the editor-in-chief of Porsche's Type 7 publication and the all-round automotive enthusiast is currently passed in St Moritz, as their global ambassador no less.
We speak to Ted about the joy of creating legacy content in a disposable age, the love/hate relationship he has with staying in one place, why he'd rather have a handful of great watches he truly loves and why he's getting on a plane to Japan as soon as can.

Zenith has come out of the gate early to claim the 'most talked-about watch release of 2021' title, with their appropriately sporty (and quite controversial) Chronomaster Sport.
In order to get the official word on the origins, inspirations and authenticity of the model, we went right to the top; Zenith CEO Julien Tornare. Days after the release of the watch Felix jumped on a Zoom call with Julian and found out the historical inspirations for the watch, why it matters so much for the brand from a commercial perspective, and how they prepared for the inevitable Daytona comparisons.

If you're even remotely interested in the world of men's style and podcasts, the chances are good that you've come across Blamo! Well, today's guest is the affable and humble man behind this burgeoning empire — Jeremy Kirkland.
And while we cover off all the topics you'd expect; style, fashion, trends and all the rest, what Jeremy is really talking about is what it means to try and be a nice person in an often superficial business, why chasing cool is a fallacy that will leave you empty and why style is how you treat other people.
In between these deep truths, we also talk about dad style, the skill involved with a good cold email and why Seiko is the ultimate equaliser. On top of that, Felix and Andy have some thoughts about the Zenith Chronomaster Sport, and its relationship to the Rolex Daytona.

Tom Exton is a busy guy. Better known as @TGE_LNDM online, he's a YouTuber, car collector, watch enthusiast, podcaster, and entrepreneur – and that's when he's not at his day job. He's famous for having a garage full of supercars, but today we talk about his passion for watches (he was sketching them as a kid long before he set foot in a boutique). These days he's got a diverse collection, from the standout white ceramic Girard-Perregaux X Bamford Laureato to an incredible Laurent Ferrier Grand Sport and more. We caught up with Tom for a frank chat about his work, what makes a good influencer and the reality of being a flipper, and just what he did to p*ss off Ferrari.

If you've browsed watches on the internet, you'll likely have come across Michael Blakey. Better known as Producer Michael thanks to his YouTube channel with over one million subscribers, Michael's videos offer a glimpse into a world of luxury, from watches to supercars to mansions. And while this sort of content is pretty common on YouTube, what makes Producer Michael stand out is his honesty and a genuine desire to have fun.
You might think it's hard to be humble talking about your watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but Michael manages it. Of course, we talk about his collection, but we also talk about his career as a producer, his very first watches, the importance of matching your outfit to your watch and why he refuses to buy his grail watch.
