About this episode

Watches & Wonders is in full swing, as are the hot takes! Rick wrangles the usual suspects (and some potato-quality internet connections) for an unscripted, no-holds-barred roundup of standout releases, questionable design choices, and horological head-scratchers.

Highlights:

  • 🕰️ Rolex Land-Dweller takes center stage—brilliant innovation or Tissot cosplay?

  • 💥 The Dynapulse escapement has David calling it a "quantum leap."

  • 🍯 Gold rush! Matt swoons over three standout gold watches.

  • 🤔 Tag Heuer Solargraph – solar-powered F1 nostalgia or just plastic fantastique?

  • 🧮 JLC’s Reverso Minute Repeater – love it, but don’t touch it.

  • 💸 IWC goes full tech flex with an 80k perpetual chrono that no one can read.

  • 🚽 Bathroom-scale vibes: Bremont and Cartier get dunked on for jump hour designs.

Remember, you never truly own the 8th day… you just look after it for the next generation.”
