In Episode 02, Eleonor, Kristian, and Andrew discuss affordable watches that they personally recommend for collectors and newcomers alike. The conversation blends humour, personal anecdotes, and expert insights to explore the nuances between bargain and affordable watches. They emphasise that “affordable” is subjective, with watches ranging from under $1,000 to several thousand dollars, highlighting brands and models that balance price, quality, and collector respect. Key watches discussed include micro-indies like the Furlan Marri Mechaquartz, Dennison ALD, Serica, and Toladano & Chan B/1, along with cult-favorite brands like Seiko, Casio, Nomos, and Oris.
The hosts reflect on watch design, craftsmanship, and the evolving microbrand landscape, noting how some smaller brands are disrupting traditional pricing and styles. They also touch on the significance of ornamental stones, rarity, and the emotional connection collectors have with watches. The episode closes with an obligatory round of "The Sickness", showcasing the personalities behind the watches and celebrating the culture surrounding watch collecting via Time+Tide's card game for watch collectors.
