This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick is joined by Ariel, David, and Ripley (is Ripley sipping Scotch?) on U.S. Election Day. The subject of watches is more of a balm than surveying the political landscape, alas. Ripley is happy that he can now wear his Mondaine Stop-to-Go watch since most U.S. states have "fallen back" to standard time. Surprisingly, no one extended the metaphor to politics, but perhaps the polls hadn't closed yet. Getting down to business, the team starts right off with a review of ABTW's most-read article of the month, David's analysis of why we love to see giants fall. And by "giants," in this case, he means Patek Philippe and its rather smug leader, Thierry Stern. Listen in to learn what the fuss is all about. Then, there's a discussion of the slippery slope of "new old-stock," which Mike takes a solid position on in his recent column. They round the bend toward the finish line with Hit, Miss, Maybe: "the best wristwatch game there is" (Rick).
