On episode 11 of the SJX Podcast, SJX and Brandon Moore discuss the monumental Quête Du Temps astronomical clock that Vacheron Constantin just unveiled in Paris alongside the companion Quest of Time wristwatch. We also tackle Tudor's first moon phase complication and what it means for the brand's collection of dress watches.

SJX also shares his views on the news that Rolex chief executive Jean-Frédéric Dufour will be giving the keynote at Dubai Watch Week, a move that's largely unprecedented for the industry's most impenetrable brand. We also chat about the other big news in the world of watch fairs, Audemars Piguet's return to Watches & Wonders in 2026.

Last but not least, we discuss what Girard-Perregaux's new movement platform might reveal about the future of the brand.
