Chrono Passion 7 Podcast

In a fun packed New Year's show, made in late December 2023, join the guys as they make their predictions for the next Swatch X offering in 2024. What will be the next Swatch Group icon to undergo the bioceramic treatment? First we discover how The Swatch Group initially started to form out of a disastrous time which was even bigger than the quartz crisis!

Then the fun begins as we look at the key brands that shaped the horological giant known as The Swatch Group and predict which watches could be released next year in a Swatch X collab.

From Breguet, Omega, Blancpain, Glashütte Original, Longines, Rado, Certina, and Mido... which could it be?

Have the boys gone a challenge too far? Can they figure out the watches and themes Swatch will use? More importantly what colours should they be???

Check out this fun and very informative episode and give yourself a great start to 2024!!!

Can anyone pick the right watches for a plethora of styles?

In this episode, Andy and Parm set themselves the impossible challenge and attempt to do just that! They have five categories to explore: daily watch, dress watch, dive watch, travel watch, and finally a pilot's watch. Within each category, they had to pick a favourite from the watches that they had previously owned or currently own, their ideal (or dream) choice, and finally, a crazy, left of field wild card. Join them on this undeniably diabolical horological journey as they dig deeper into what makes their love of watches tick! Get ready for some incredible watches including some absolute works of art, ranging from Konstantin Chaykin to Vacheron Constantin, Rolex to Jacob & Co, and much much more.

Let us know in the comments which choices were your favourites. Buckle up, for this quite impossible journey.
