This week we have Julien on again for two very specific reasons! One is to have him tell us how his watch meetup "Independence Days" went down, and second for our last epic collection build of the 2024 year. This time, we are all tasked with building a five-watch collection under the magical $10,000 or 40,000AED mark. Julien, of course, and as expected, brings an entirely new perspective to the same-old, same-old that is Marton and Ralf. Tune in and find out!

Today’s contentious topic is of course, the five pointed crown… why do so many people flock to Rolex? Why do most aspire to own one? Let’s delve into the topic and see if we can uncover the mystery, or perhaps conspiracy?

Following in the footsteps of the Britt Pearce video on the same topic, we wanted to expand on the idea and regale our dear listeners on all the ways it’s possible to break or harm your mechanical timepiece (most likely without even knowing it)!

So firstly, Ralf has been to a heap of watch events, and as such, he tells us about both the new Lange 1 and the new Norqain releases. After which, we jump into this week’s topic- dress watches.

So, just like Uncle Bark did, aka Bark and Jack, aka Adrian Barker, we also had to jump on the bandwagon and see what our dear friend ChatGPT had to say about our collections. But Ralf, being the ever-so nice guy, he also wanted the AI to praise our collections as well. Who doesn’t need a little external validation! Let’s see what Mr. ChatGPT has to say!
