186.Sheeran Kills Omega Contract, Bremont Invents A Microbrand, And The Official Cocktail Of Bad Watch Choices

This episode of the ABTW Weekly Podcast proves that time really is relative — especially if you’re a watch collector trying to survive daylight savings. The team kicks things off by pondering the baffling relationship between time zones and watches — shouldn't every new release come with a PhD in geography? The guys move on to the topic of celebrity endorsements, because nothing says “luxury horology” quite like a B-list actor pretending to love a brand they can’t pronounce. 

The material debate takes a turn when titanium enters the chat. Citizen’s Super Titanium earns respect, while Rolex’s titanium attempts are described with the same enthusiasm usually reserved for airline food. The gang jokes that titanium may be the future — if the luxury crowd can get over missing the extra heft of steel. Diamonds also sparkle in the discussion, from the surprisingly affordable Armatron Knox to the meme-worthy concept of “diamond hands” in horology.

Certina’s DSX GMT gets a nod for being tough enough to survive both jet lag and a toddler tantrum, while microbrands continue to punch above their weight, sometimes making legacy brands look like they’re stuck in, well, daylight savings. The episode ends with colorful trends, AI watch reviews, and plenty of laughs about how absurdly serious watch culture can be — even when the time’s all wrong.
