Time On Screen: Home Alone Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

In this installment of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan is joined by Blake Buettner and Kat Shoulders for a special holiday episode. That’s right, it’s Home Alone week, and we’re running through what is undeniably one of the best Christmas movies of our generation, detailing the saga of a child abandoned by his family, and left to fend for himself against a pair of violent criminals. Home Alone is hilarious and has become a holiday staple, but it’s also deeply strange if you stop to think about it for even a moment. Why, for instance, does Kevin’s mom wear what is by her own admission a fake Rolex when she is clearly the matriarch of the most powerful mob family in all of Chicago? These are the questions we want answered as we dive into the details and fan theories of a truly enduring holiday classic.

A Week In Watches Ep 28: QR Code & Urushi Lacquer Dials Dec 18, 2022

Show notes

This week we’re looking at some shocking news from the Metaverse and H. Moser, and their latest Endeavour Centre Seconds called the Genesis. It’s part QR code, part haute horology, and entirely meta. We’ve also got news from Kurono about a new boutique in Tokyo, and three new watches to celebrate. Each features beautiful handmade urushi lacquer dials. Finally, we’ll take a brief look at some auction results that raised money for the Swiss Institute, and inspired some pretty spectacular one-off pieces.

Show notes

This week on the podcast, Blake is joined by Patrick, Thomas, and Zach, who will try to explain How to Buy a Watch, hot on the heels of our recent foray into providing some basic advice for newbies and veterans alike. Before that, a discussion about a new release from Alpina that revives a particular type of mechanical movement that’s rarely seen in modern watchmaking (spoiler alert: there are no mechanical engineers on this week’s episode). The team is also in a reflective mood, talking through some of the watches that have been lingering in their minds this year.

A Week in Watches Ep 27: Starwheel Waiting in the Sky Dec 11, 2022

Show notes

On this week’s episode of A Week in Watches we have a trio of great releases and then I give you My 2 Cents on something that has always bugged me. The first release is actually a finale, the last of the Timex Giorgio Galli S1 watches. Afterward, we peek at the new and lovely Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Starwheel, followed by a couple of Alpinas with anachronistic movements. Lastly, I bemoan pesky pusher protectors – screw-down pushers.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Bell & Ross and their new BR-X5. The new BR-X5 marks a bold new move for the brand, combining the urban sophistication of the integrated bracelet BR-05 design with a new sense of technical and architectural detailing. Inside, the new BR Cal 323 keeps time with chronometer accuracy and a 70-hour power reserve. To learn more about the BR-X5, click here.

Time on Screen Podcast: Ocean’s Eleven Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

This week, Time on Screen is putting a crew together to take down the ultimate prize: a deep dive into Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven. Zach Kazan is joined by Thomas Calara and Kyle Snarr to talk about one of the most quotable, rewatchable, and star studded movies made in our lifetime. There’s also ample discussion of Soderbergh’s sequel, Ocean’s Twelve (but less about Thirteen and Ocean’s 8, maybe next time), and of course a heavy dose of watch spotting. Remember: there’s money in those Incan matrimonial head masks, but only if you can move them.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 273: Breaking New Design Ground, and a CPO Concept Comes to Rolex Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

This week on the podcast, Blake, Patrick, and Thomas are chatting about some of the biggest news to hit the watch industry in quite some time, as Rolex has announced a new CPO program to see gently used watches through their authorized dealer networks. But before that, the team jumps into a recent release from Audemars Piguet that’s notably not a Royal Oak, and grapples with the very idea of evolving heritage watch designs as opposed to breaking new ground. Have we been robbed of original designs over the last generation of watchmaking? We examine that idea by framing it using one of the most popular watches of the last ten years: Tudor’s Black Bay.
