🎧🎧Episode 21: On Apple Podcasts & Spotify👂

Larry and Zac explore the IWC Ingenieur and ask if it's really one of THE integrated sports watches to grab or if it's just an also-ran. Sure, it has the Genta DNA and all, but is this your first thought when it comes to purchasing an integrated?

Later, a fun anecdote about Zac running into a local watch guy who, as a chef working long hours in one of Rochester's finer restaurants, said he'd toss his Explorer I into the dishwasher for a 90 second cycle. Sounds wild, yeah? Would YOU put your tough-built toolwatch through that just to wash off the day's grime?

Let us know what you think after you give it a listen!

A Happy Veteran’s Day to all who served and continue to serve.  We lucky few.

Is the new Grey Side of The Moon a hit or miss?

OMEGA says the essence and aura of the moon are spackled all over this piece and it’s easy to see it at first glance. While the greyscale coloring is a nice way to go if a vibrant watch isn’t your thing, is the moon theme overdone here?

Everybody knows, at least in the watch circles, about the Speedmaster-Moon connection and its bee written about, covered, and explored more times than most of us care to hear about, so it’s left us wondering: is this kind of thing going to draw in Speedy Pro owners or only those who absolutely cannot stop telling everyone how the Speedy was the official moonwatch?

It’s a good looking piece and well designed, with the color matching being the top hit for us, but if this was made without the constant cratering and moon themes, would it be a better watch because of it?

What do you think? Let us know for this

One of the most historic of the brands you can get today is who offer a range of watches to suit your tastes.

While we have done a bit of a dive into John Arnold, the pieces you find today offer unique ways to collect watches with true innovation at the heart. The constant force tourbillon is one such innovation and not only looks good but would certainly drive conversation with other collectors.

If you see one in the wild, be sure to strike up a conversation and snap a photo.

Thanks again to Alex for the submission!

Submission from Alex and a highlight from the NYC weekend a couple of weeks ago. What a stunner!

While we know watch designs can sometimes push the envelope, the choice to go down the wrist in this manner makes for eye-catching shapes and watches that are surprisingly wearable over other “large” case models.

Would you wear something like this? Does the oval stature appeal more than a large circular design?

More from our first-ever watch event on September 27th.

We were treated to a wonderful walkthrough of the entire , , and lines, presented by the wonderful who graciously took time from his weekend to show us around these pieces. Equally fantastic was the venue, with dinner at and drinks afterwards downstairs in ! We had so much fun and were looking forward to the next event which we’ll be telling you all about very soon.

If you’re in the Western New York area and want to join us for future events, drop an email to Zachary ([email protected]) and let him know this is your thing, too. Our aim is to bring together the community, provide fun interaction with legacy and newer brands, and simply have fun with others interested in the avocation. We plan to mix up these events and have some focused on mingling and exploring each other’s collections in between, so there is something for everyone.

See you at the next one!
