Reviewing 6 Of Our Own Watches With Ben And James

In this week's episode, I'm running the three-man weave with Ben and James. I gave the guys a bit of homework before we recorded. Last month, Ben mentioned in his review of the Rolex "Le Mans" Daytona that maybe we should do "A Week On (An Owner's) Wrist" reviews every once in a while. Talking about – and reviewing – watches that we've recently acquired. I thought it was a pretty good idea (nice, Ben!), so I called him up and said "Let's do it on the pod!" Of course, I had to get James in the mix as well to keep us grounded in reality (and Seiko). So each of us came ready to talk about two watches we've recently acquired. Why we bought them, what we like about them, and what we'd change if we could. We cover basically the entire range of watches, from Swatch to Seiko to maybe the hottest indie around. 1:30: Financial Times Luxury Live Summit3:00: In-Depth: Marc Newson Opens Up About Ikepod, The Pathbreaking '90s Watch Brand That's Cool All Over Again; Marc Newson Hourglass for Hodinkee6:30: Ben's Watch Spotting at the Universal Geneve Meetup That Tony Definitely Read7:50: Wind Vintage Universal Geneve Film Compax9:40: Hands-On With (That Other) Universal Genve Film Compax10:50: Ben's A Week On The Wrist With The Le Mans Daytona14:50: James' A Week On The Wrist With The Tudor Pelagos 3916:40: Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms Ocean of Storms21:50: The Unimatic Carbon Limited Editions for Hodinkee23:45: Hodinkee's first capsule collection with Unimatic24:35: The 36mm Unimatic Modello Cinque24:50: The Unimatic x Massena Lab Modello Cinque26:10: Introducing: Rexhep Rexhepi Returns With A Sequel To The Award-Winning Chronomètre Contemporain27:00: Ben's November 2023 Photo Report from Geneva29:28: In-Depth: Gruebel Forsey Signature 132:15: Only Watch 2024 Auction Results34:00: Hands-On: Swatch Adds Six Watches To Its Neon Collection Just In Time For Summer38:10: Watches in the Wild: Thailand: Episode 138:45: Hodinkee's 10 Favorite Seikos of All Time40:40: James' Review Of The New Seiko "24MAS" Divers42:58: James' A Week On The Wrist With the Seiko SPB14344:30: Cartier Brings Back The Tortue, Monopusher And All47:00: A Collector's Guide To 1970s Cartier Watches
