Cadel Evans is the greatest Australian cyclist of all time, a four-time Olympian and Tour de France winner, who is a passionate ambassador for the sport. He's also a watch collector.
Cadel Evan's interest in watches started at a young age when he 'just wanted a watch that was waterproof'. That interest exploded when, as a professional cyclist, he found himself based in Neuchâtel. But Evans wasn't spending his time looking in boutique windows; he was busy riding up and down hills and training for the Tour de France, a race he won in 2011, the first Australian, and one of only three non-Europeans to earn the yellow jersey. To celebrate this win, Jean-Claude Biver gifted him a unique yellow Hublot, a watch which has a place of pride in his collection, sitting alongside Patek Phillipe, Panerai and more than a few Rolex models. We talk to Evans about why time is more important than distance in training, his take on the 2020 Tour de France, and what he thinks about wearing Richard Mille while racing. Regardless of whether or not you're into cycling, you're into a for a ride in our chat with Cadel Evans.

By his own reckoning, Tim Mosso has reviewed some 6 or 7000 watches, many of them on Watchbox's YouTube channel. The combination of experience, deep product knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of how watches are made, bought and sold makes Tim Mosso someone to listen to, especially if you're looking to buy a watch. We find out just how Tim goes about reviewing a watch, even if it's not one he personally likes (spoiler, it's either like a sailor or a lawyer). We also get Tim's take on what he thinks makes a bad (or a good) watch, the most overlooked element of watch design (lugs!), what's trending, and which brands are milking those trends too much. We also talk about why watches leaning heavily into nostalgia need to pay attention to car design, and if the hype is ever justified. This interview is a little longer than usual, but it's all thriller no filler.

Dan Tanenbaum, better known on Instagram as @watchpartsmotorcycle is a man who defies easy definition, but we'll do out gosh-darned best.
He's a lifelong collector who fell into watches and turned that passion into an art form. We chat to Dan about how a quest to find his son a Rolex Submariner 6538, which he ended up purchasing, not with cash or card, but with actual gold bullion. That's not the only special piece in Dan's collection; there's also a very sentimental Heuer Montreal.
From watches, we cover off how the tech entrepreneur and ex ad-man turned a side hustle making motorbike sculptures out of watch parts turned into creating custom work for Kidrobot and Chief Keef.

Show Notes:
The letter Dan received with the Rolex Submariner 6538 he purchased with gold bullion:
Dear Oliver,
I hope this letter finds you well. Your father has asked me to write you a note to tell you what I know about your gift from him. As you can see it is an old watch. My guess is that by the time you receive it, it will be about 70 years old and you are very fortunate as this is no ordinary watch. Indeed it is a very special watch. You are holding a rare vintage Rolex model 6538 from circa 1958. It has a calibre 1030 movement in it. This watch is much sought after as it is the same model of watch as the one worn by Sean Connery when he portrayed James Bond in the 1962 film Dr No.
It is my understanding that the watch is in original condition and was owned prior to myself by a gentleman who lived in Australia. It is obvious that he wore this watch for countless hours in the sun perhaps scuba diving or sailing because the dial on it shows a deep rich bronze patina. I have myself owned the watch for many years, saving it for something special though I had no idea what.
Recently word came to me that your father was looking for a watch such as this and it turned out that he had a special purpose in mind for it; that it should become a gift for you on your 21st birthday. And since I believe a watch like this needs purpose and deserves more than a solitary existence spoiled away in some dark locked box, I released it to your father. Albeit for a fairly tidy sum.
Once, a good many years ago while holding this watch and contemplating its lessons I was struck by five thoughts. I'd like to share them with you with the hope that they might help you on your journey.
The first thought I had was of the beauty and art and emotion expressed by it. These are all the things that give our world life and colour and love. It is a reminder that we should paint the world as we go, returning the love that we're given and sharing the love that we have to give.
The second thought I had was for the marvel of engineering and human perseverance that made this watch possible. Boundless are the limitations of human mind and determined spirit combined. This watch should serve as a reminder that we must be the engineers of our lives, doing what is right in life and persevering to leave all things better than when we first came upon them.
The third thought that I had as I held this watch was of its value and the power of saving and investing. Surely without saving there is no future nor any prospect of security for yourself or your loved ones. Nor is there the ability to help the man who has stumbled that he too might go on to help others. This watch should serve as a reminder that wealth with conscience is a powerful gift.
Fourth, I thought that this watch represents the importance of practicality and purpose in our lives. There is an old saying that goes "If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light". The same holds true in life. This watch should be a reminder to remain free of the burden of things that serve no good purpose, things rob us of our happiness, our dignity and our time.
Which brings us to the fifth and final thought that I had which was about time itself. This watch like all time pieces should serve as a reminder to us that time is the great equalizer and it is all we really have. In time all will be lost for each and every one of us but for the good deeds we have done. Your deeds of hope are your seeds of hope; plant them everywhere you can.
Remember Oliver, God winds our hearts but once, just how tightly is his secret. I hope you spend your time wisely and that your deeds carry both you and the lives you touch to great and wonderful places.
Wishing you well in your travels.
Sincerely,
Rob

In the hallowed (and impeccably dressed) halls of men's style, Mark Cho is a legend. Co-founder of influential retailer The Armoury and co-owner of menswear institution Drake's. Cho has undoubtedly made his mark on modern men's style. And given Cho's general sartorial good sense it should come as no surprise that he views a good watch is an essential wardrobe item, with pieces as diverse as F.P. Journe and anOrdain.
He's also a man concerned with what size a watch should be — so much so that he put together a survey to determine the ideal wrist size. The results are surprising … but perhaps they shouldn't be.

He's been round the world, and down the world and now he's come back up again. We are, of course, talking about today's guest, Charley Boorman. Since 2004 Boorman and his buddy Ewan McGregor have made a habit of travelling the globe on the back of a motorbike.
Their latest, Long Way Up, which sees them ride from the tip of South America to Los Angeles is their most ambitious yet — not because of the journey itself, but because they're doing it on electric Harley Davidsons. We talk to Charley about the challenges of finding a charge, riding while recovering from serious surgery, and what it's like to be one of Bremont's longest-serving ambassadors.

There's a good chance that if you're really deep into watches you've fantasised about designing your own watch or even your own watch brand. Five years ago our guest Chase Fancher turned that dream into a reality when he gave up his unfulfilling corporate day job and started Oak and Oscar, a brand born out of Chase's love of watches, bourbon and dogs.
Chase takes us through the journey of creating a brand, making the leap to full-time, the joys and challenges of building a brand and a passionate community, and what a good, sustainable smaller watch brand looks like.
We hear about the new Olmsted Matte also ask Chase the hard questions, like what it would take for him to give it all up. Listen now, before Disney's lawsuit comes into effect.

If you're into cars and watch YouTube, you likely know Matt Farah. The LA-native is a legendary figure in the world of cars, an encyclopedia of knowledge with a disarmingly charming personality. It's this combination that has made The Smoking Tire one of the greatest car podcasts out there.
We talk to Farah about what it's like to go from a lean online business to a bricks-and-mortar operation, with an impressive new business, West Side Collector Car Storage. And of course, we also talk watches; from the secret shame of buying a watch because of Kanye West, what it's like to daily wear a Kermit for a decade, and why you can't be an a-hole wearing a gold Seiko.
Plus Felix and Andy wonder if the 'Oscars of Watchmaking', AKA the GPHG could be better. Hint, it could be.

Today's episode is action-packed! We hit the mics for a one-two combo of good old-fashioned watch matchmaking. But before we get to Juuso and Louis, the people of the internet ask Andy the tough questions over his latest acquisition, the 36mm candy pink Rolex Oyster Perpetual. He fearlessly answers every one, and by the end of it, we can guarantee you will have sold all your 40mm+ black-dialled divers and falling in love with petite fun watches.
Eventually, though the questions die down and we dive into our watch matchmaking. Juuso is in a very 2020 predicament. He had his name down for the 39mm white-dialled Rolex OP, and then Rolex discontinued it. He wants an alternative.
And Louis, well he has a different problem entirely. He's an American entrepreneur looking for a watch to tide him over until his rose gold AP comes in. Louis is also after a watch he can pass down to his kid. Buckle up people, it's about to get wild (and watchy) up in here.

Watch Matchmaker for Juuso
I turned 30 in July, and I celebrated the milestone by ordering Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 in white. I saved money for that exact watch for two years. Then out of nowhere, Rolex decided to cancel making OPs in 39 and my AD called that I don't get what I ordered ... what would you recommend for me?
Andy's Picks
Felix's Picks
Watch Matchmaker for Louis
So here's the thing. Looking for a watch I can wear everyday - pool or board meeting. (I'm an entrepreneur - basically make my own schedule). I dress in a lot of white jeans/denim shirt/blazer with vans. Love PJT which is what brought me here ... I like leather bands and natos.

Today's guest is cinematographer and photographer, Bret Curry. Bret knows his way around a watch, both on the wrist and behind the lens. Curry has worked with names like Eli Roth and Ryan White, on projects for National Geographic, AMC and Apple TV. We talk to Bret about his early wristwatch loves, and how, as someone who needs to keep an eye on the time and often has his hands full at work, a good watch is more than just a fashion accessory.
We also asked Bret to break down the details of an incredible shoot he did for Blancpain at Death Valley. Beyond watches, we get some insights into shooting portraits of famous people, and honing your skills and aesthetic in an Instagram age. Andy also talks a surprising amount of smack about Armie Hammer, and Felix unwittingly institutes 'Mailbag Mondays'.

If you listen to OT: The Podcast, there's a good chance Standard H has come up in your 'recommended' list, after all, Wesley Smith's podcast has a healthy dose of watches, and a few familiar alumni.
And while you might think that Standard H is going to be all about cars, its really about clothing, community and entrepreneurship. We chat to Wesley about how the podcast was built as an offshoot of his clothing label, what he's learned from interviewing so many exceptional individuals and who his white whale dream guests are. And of course, we also talk watches, from great players in the indie scene to grey market shenanigans.
And speaking of shenanigans, Andy has finally worn a watch with a Bluetooth connection, and, perhaps even more surprisingly, he's been wearing it solidly for the last month.
