Ep. #45 Brands We Know Nothing About: Universal Geneve

Kaz continues to trim down his collection, the guys talk about watch brand pronunciation, and both of the snobs admire just how well Seiko’s latest rubber straps have been manufactured. Plus, do you know how friggin’ hard it is to bake a bicycle-shaped pastry?! Plus, stay tuned for another Rivkah update and be prepared to hear about how Kaz plans to connect with each and every individual interested in buying a Rivkah watch. Mike is still enjoying his Marathon Pilot Navigator and finds that he may enjoy a 12-hour bezel over a dedicated GMT movement. Kaz gets a cool pair of Russian watches in the mail and the Snobs completely shift their individual collecting mentality. Mike also goes on a super cool Nomos adventure in Seattle with a listener. For the main topic, Kaz and Mike fumble around trying to understand Universal Geneve as a brand. They discuss the allure behind collecting Universal Geneve as well as the investment potential. If you guys know way more about the brand, reach out to the Two Broke Watch Snobs and let them know!
