In what we promise is our last formal 'Watches & Wonders 2025' episode, we cover some of the big players that needed some more chat, namely Rolex and Tudor — as well as a bit more love for Cartier's Tank à Guichets. Andy runs through his picks of Rolex (including his only gripe with the Land-Dweller), and Felix opts for a surprise favourite from Tudor. Oh, and a little bit of macroeconomic tariff chat.

For many of us, Fred Savage was an important part of our formative years, thanks to his roles in The Wonder Years and The Princess Bride. He's also an established director and producer, but for watch enthusiasts, he's famous for another on-screen role — Hodinkee's Talking Watches, in which he appeared in 2018. We caught up with Savage to see what he's been up to since, and it turns out — quite a lot.
We caught up with Savage to see what he's been up to since, and it turns out — quite a lot. He has started Timepiece Grading Specialists, a business that promises to empower collectors, sellers, and buyers to navigate the world of vintage and pre-owned watches with confidence. Fred tells us all about the service and why he believes it's important, but before that, Andy and Felix talk about some of the more surprising Cartier releases they saw in Geneva.

Recorded on (almost) the last day of Watches & Wonders, Andy and Felix brave fatigue to discuss the overall mood and vibe of the fair, as well as dig into some specific highlights and surprise releases, from a technical Rolex to a cheeky Hermès. Plus, a timely reminder that it's not about the watches but rather the friends we made along the way.

There's a handful of brands that people clamour to see as soon as the curtain is lifted on Watches & Wonders, and Cartier is most definitely one of those brands. We recorded this episode inside the Cartier booth on the first day of the fair after getting up close and personal with all the key releases. We talk about all the major releases, including the outstanding Cartier Privé Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets, the new, larger Tank LC, the dazzling new takes on the Cartier Panthère, as well as other jewellery pieces like the Tressage and the Panthère Bangle. Not to spoil things, but 2025 is a good year for Cartier.

Yes, we had to do it. Hopped up on rumour and speculation, Andy and Felix dive into the exciting world of baseless watch predictions and shamelessly speculate on what Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier and their pals are going to unveil in Geneva in just a few day's time. On top of that, we ponder the meta trends that we're going to see emerge in the industry, including "less value for the same money" and "more restraint with flashes of insanity".

Everyone's favourite Chicago-based watch newsletter publisher is back for his second (or third?) chat with OT:, and as is now customary, we've caught at something of an interstitial moment. Traina left Hodinkee late last year and has dived head first into his newsletter, Unpolished (née Rescapement). We talk to Tony about the premise and pitch of his newsletter and (inevitably) the state of watch media in 2025. We also talk about industry pet peeves, press trip weirdness and why glazing billionaires is never a good idea.

Arken Watch Company was born (like so many creative projects), in the middle of a lockdown. Kenneth Lam, always interested in modding Seiko's and the like, decided to design his own watch. The result was the Arken Instrumentum, a limited release followed a few years later by the clever travel timer that is the Alterum. Arken aims to create genre-free titanium tool watches with unique and practical functions — and it's safe to say the young brand is delivering on that mission. We talked to Ken about the future of the brand, how to engage with the community and preferred emoji use.

This week, we've got the final file from Felix's Hong Kong adventure, and we've undoubtedly saved the best til last. Zoë Abelson, better known on Instagram as @watchgirloffduty has built a life and a career hunting down rare timepieces. These days that business has coalesced into Graal Watch, which makes her the perfect person to find that obscure reference. We chat with Zoë about the pros and cons of hunting other people's grails and explore the ambiguities implicit in the watch dealers' role as tastemakers, as well as what those tastes are looking like today: pro tip — smaller watches are where it's at. Before all that, Andy and Felix tackle the thorny issue of giving Andy's dad a watch. Let us know in the comments what you think that watch was.
Interview with Zoe Abelson (11:56)

Today's guest is Fiona Krüger, a fine artist and watch designer who's independent in the truest sense of the word. Perhaps best known for her timepieces shaped like skulls and defined by fractures and imperfection, Krüger is a watchmaker who finds her own path. Felix caught up with Krüger in Hong Kong as part of Horology Forum 10, where they chatted about design integrity, the tricky nature of luxury and why it isn't always the best idea to have a business plan when starting out. They also chat about the Face of Tasaki, a watch Fiona Krüger has made with a Japanese pearl manufacturer and one of the coolest releases of the last year. Before that, Andy and Felix gaze into Ariel Adams' crystal ball and speculate about what 2025 will look like for the watch industry.

Bremont CEO Davide Cerrato has been in the role for a little over a year at this point, and it's safe to say that 2024 has been a rollercoaster. The brand, rooted in British identity and aviation, unveiled a brand new collection, logo and strategy at its Watches & Wonders debut and has, in the months since, been experiencing the ups and downs of public opinion. We caught up with Davide a few weeks before Christmas and found the irrepressible anglophile reflective about the year that was for Bremont, but more than that, excited about what the future holds.
This episode has been sponsored by Bremont. Check them out at bremont.com or, if you're in Melbourne, at the Bremont Boutique at 292 Collins St.
