  • 158. Kill A Brand, Revive a Brand, Mash-Potato A Brand
    This week onaBlogtoWatchWeekly, the only two usual suspects are Rick and David.Ariel and Ripley are in flight, or fleeing, or otherwise elsewhere. They are,instead, joined by semi-regular, non-suspect Azad and Kevin, and then surpriseguest, Leslie. All of the Euro-men are complaining about the weather ('tis therainy season in the UK, ya know). They get right down to business with adiscussion of the news that Rolex has retired its Carl F. Bucherer brand, andthere are various degrees of lament in the room. Next up, a look at Breitling'srevival of the Gallet brand. The guys muse about how they'll position thesewatches. Then, they discuss Ariel's most recent column in his absence. He asksthe question, "Are Swiss luxury watch brands engaging consumersenough?" The new game, which seems to have taken off, ensues:Judge theCollab. Fun! But where did fan-favoriteHit, Miss, Maybe go?And will it ever return?

  • 157. Why They Don't Play Our New Game In Nepal
    This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley are, for the second week in a row, all in their respective home cities and Rick teases the show's preamble by announcing a very special new limited-edition series of watch cases made by the team's AV garbage. That's all we'll say, for now. (The show is banned in Nepal, but why?) All the guys have new podcast-designed mics and are feeling quite professional, at the moment. Getting down to business, Rick asks Ariel and David, "How limited is the new limited-edition Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Hi-Beat watch?" (Ripley already knows because he wrote the article.) Next on the docket is the Panerai Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean Experience Edition watch, which Rick rightly points out looks identical to the Studio Underd0g X Fears "The Gimlet" watch released on the same day. Ripley shares the backstory about the yacht after which the Panerai is named — and a purchase comes with a trip to Sicily! It'll only set you back 43k. Ripley shares his take on who did this design first, historically, and he adds that the Studio Underd0g costs £1000 GBP (but doesn't include a trip to Italy. Rick addresses the elephant in the room: Why would anyone buy the Panerai over the Studio Underd0g? You'll have to tune in to learn the answer. This slides into a new game Rick devised called "Judge the Collab" — you'll be shocked, I say, shocked by the guys' ratings. The game catches on, and other colllab judgment follows. Tune in to get all the juicy horological details.

  • 155. Tiffany, Tees, Tudor, And Trump 2.0
    This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the gang is all together again and settled into their respective rectangles, all shockingly in their home bases. Rick begins by segueing from the live broadcast of the show (after the clap-in) to reflect on the previous conversation about blue foods being the "taste of 'merica). When they get down to business, the first item on the agenda is the Tudor Black Bay Chrono Flamingo-Blue watch, and it suddenly seems that blue is a theme! But make no mistake; this is NOT "Tiffany blue." But it's really, really close. Next up is a bargain new-release: the Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite — a bargain only because it's in steel and is a manual-wind. But it exceeds Ripley's expectations, not only in price, which is saying a lot. David then talks about the special laid-back demeanor of Chopard as a brand. He walks us through his hands-on of the L.U.C. Lunar One Perpetual Calendar watches, which he saw in the metal last week at the Chopard manufacture. Let's just cut to the chase: David says it's a "bonkers" watch. The guys have some fun going around the virtual room showing us what they're wearing today (both Ripley and Ariel are wearing the Casio ring watch), and David is wearing the cheapest diamond-set watch in the world. He also reports that he saw a Trump watch in the wild, and the team grills him on deets. For some godforsaken reason, this leads them down the rabbit hole of the Trump watch website. Weird! Thank goodness they finally turn the page and play Hit, Miss Maybe.

  • 154. Lunches And Wonders
    This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick is baaaaaaaack to the land of the living — but where is David? Ariel and Ripley are here, and despite the fact that the word "snot" has been mentioned more times than the law should allow in the first five minutes, Rick is also kind enough to ask Ariel and Ripley how they're doing re the fires in Los Angeles. It's a lot. But we're all comforted by talk of watches, so they guys get right to it, and Ariel discusses a dystopian future when watch media is too thin to cover the watch industrial complex run by the corporate world. Where are the visionaries, the mavericks? Ripley dovetails with this idea and underscores the virtues of not being in any brand's back pocket, i.e., the argument for independent watch media and multiple voices. The trio then takes a look at the new Omega Speedmaster Meteorite Moonphase watches. There is some playful banter and some legit debate. Ripley is triple-wristing, and he shows of his Casio watch ring, a sight not to be missed. Next up, they team discusses the latest from Vacheron Constantin, priced at a mere 32k. But the question is: Hit, Miss or Maybe? (Ariel has A LOT to say here.) And what about the new Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton? Gateway drug or easy-access formula — or both? Lastly, how can one diss The Muppets? Find out in this discussion of the new Oris ProPilot X Miss Piggy watch.
