A Blog To Watch Weekly

• 177. aBlogtoCrocks, Mishon Contant In, The Time Guestimator, And Soup + Nuts

  This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, in a move unprecedented in all of history, designates the start of a show without a clap-in, substituting it for a round of applause — for himself and Ariel, David and Ripley. What does this mean? It means that the warmup content has made prime time. The guys move on to discussions of AI and watch industry jobs. Things get weird pretty fast when talk turns to Crocs — and to be precise, wearable Swatch Crocs. (In order to read the time, you have to contort yourself.... but they do light up, so there's that. ABlogtoCroc, anyone? Talk turns to the new Casio Edifice EFK 100, the first-ever mechanical Casio. Now, that's news. Also, very serious timepiece has gotten the teams attention, namely, the new Vacheron Constantin, which generates a lot of interest. Before moving onto the always highly anticipated Hit, Miss, Maybe, Rick asks what everyone is wearing. No, what watches are they wearing, silly?

• 176. Watchmaking Without Meaning: Jaws, Tentagraphs & Rolex Amnesia

  Rick is bouncy-bright this morning, Ripley is clapping concrete, and Ariel is wearing a concrete watch — so don’t ever say we aren’t coordinated! David draws a line about what he will and won’t look at on the shared screen. ABTW Week #176 begins as such. The guys set about analyzing the nomenclature of the new Grand Seiko Tentagraph, and David offers some suggestions for improvement. On to the Chrono 25. More watch for less? Listen in to find out if that’s a thing. When talk turns precipitously to the touchy subject of outsourcing, Rick asks whether the Swiss have outsourced themselves into irrelevance. It’s all eyes on David where Chopard is concerned. (Spoiler alert: He really likes this brand!) The vibes turn to underwhelm when the spotlight is placed on the new pastel Blancpain. Is it a Swatch? Or is it a watch that costs as much as a new home? Sad that we have to ask. The mood is redeemed with an invigorating few rounds of Hit, Miss, Maybe.

• 175. Introducing: #KariTime, Bagpipe Minute Repeater, And A Third Place Flex

  This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly Rick is finally back from his Panerai adventures while David is the one we are missing. Rick, Ariel, and Ripley start the show by diving into a watch with a unique party trick, the Ball Engineer II Magneto S, and Ripley shows off what he is wearing with the exact opposite trick. Rick takes a look at Hublot’s website in order to “Return to Antikythera”, they play “Guess the price of the Seiko”, and they share what they think the love interest storyline in the new F1 movie could be. (Hint: a man and his car..) As always Rick, Ripley, and Ariel also play everyone’s favorite game, Hit, Miss, or Maybe with the Citizen Promaster Aqualand, the Ulysse Nardin Freak, and the Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto 79. Listen and join in on the conversation to hear an episode where third place feels like a win, (with a side of Mc Hammer and Muppet references), to witness an unveiling of the new unit of time, #KariTime, and so much more on this week’s episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly!

• 174. Live, Laugh, Lugs

  This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, David, and Ripley are holding down the fort as Rick is off handling VIP (Very Important Panerai) business. Maybe. We think. OK, we're just assuming. The team begins the show with talk of G-Shock's seeming pause on its focus to develop NEW features, instead recycling the same features throughout the brand's various price points. Ariel asks David and Ripley about their hunger for data that their watches can give them: “Aren’t you data-hungry?” The guys explore the significance of thematic watches and delve into the appeal of ceramic watches while the rest of us likely suffer from “ceramic ignorance,” AKA ceramignorance (say that three times fast). Join this week’s conversation as we discuss the evolution of the Tag Heuer Monaco, the introduction of new technologies in brands like Certina, and why you should potentially prepare for a watch tan line competition, coming soon to a podcast near you!
