OT: The Podcast

Today marks our 150th official episode, and we can't think of a better guest to celebrate on this auspicious occasion than the great Stephen Pulvirent. Today Pulvirent creates beautiful art through his artistic photography practice, as well as more commercially-geared creativity through his agency Rime and Reason. But most people will recognise him from his time at Hodinkee. After Felix and Stephen reminisce on the early days of Hodinkee, Pulvirent tells us why he's enjoying watches as a hobbyist, as well as reflect on how he played a role in shaping contemporary watch culture.

This episode is sponsored by TAG Heuer. Today Andy and Felix chat about the hard-to-miss Orange Aquaracer.

Artem Straps dropped some new NATO options, find them here.

If you're a fan of vintage Heuer and TAG Heuer's history, today's guest Nicholas Biebuyck has the dream job - as the Heritage Director at TAG Heuer. It's not a role you step into without living, breathing (and most likely dreaming), Carreras, Autavias and all the rest.

However, while we certainly talk about TAG Heuer's famed automotive legacy and expertise in chronographs, we spend a surprising amount of time exploring the brand's history of dive watches, which started way back in 1978. After listening to Nicholas' passion and enthusiasm, we promise you'll find something new to love about this iconic brand.

This episode is sponsored by TAG Heuer. Listen in to find out why Andy and Felix think the Superdiver is, well, super.

If you're in New York and in the market for an Audemars Piguet, this week's guest is a good guy to know. Yoni Ben-Yehuda is the Head of Watches at Material Good and Audemars Piguet x Material Good, one of America's premier watch retailers. We chat to Yoni about where high-end watch retail has come from, where it's at right now and what sets Material Good apart. Yoni also doesn't shy away from tricky questions on how dealers allocate in-demand stock and what collectors can do to get their dream watch. Plus, we talk tattoos, Tudor and how meetups have changed over the years.

We also got some pro travel tips, from the importance of sensible dressing on Swiss glaciers to what to do in Como and other parts of Italy. All that plus Barbie, pirate gold and more.

This week we dusted off the (sapphire) crystal ball and gazed into the multiverse of madness, and played out some hypothetical watch scenarios. What if Rolex doubled production in a few years? Could Apple make a mechanical watch? Will sports watches ever go out of style, and what would it take for Andy to buy a Seahawk. In this light-hearted rundown of (mostly) unlikely situations, we play out the scenarios, to mixed success. But not everything in this episode is made up, the new Ahoi is very solid indeed, and Huawei's battery life has no right to be that good.

The episode is sponsored by NOMOS Glashütte, tune in to hear Felix diving into the Ahoi Atlantic. Check it out for yourself here.

We joke about National Treasure a lot on OT: But this week, we get as close as we're ever likely to get to the real deal with explorer, lawyer and exploration consultant David Concannon. His CV covers off multiple dives to the Titanic, the discovery of the world's deepest wooden shipwreck and helping Jeff Bezos find Apollo 11's engines, and that's just the top line. Concannon also explains how exploration and the law are firmly entwined, and gives us a crash course on the economics of exploring. Of course, we also talk about watches, and his surprising friendship with one of Hollywood's greatest stuntmen.

The episode is sponsored by NOMOS Glashütte, tune in to hear Andy waxing lyrical about the beauty of the Club Campus Deep Pink. Check it out for yourself here.

Today we speak to Gerry Nelson, one of Melbourne's best dressed and a master of the knit fit. Naturally, we get some top tips on shawl collars and sweaters, but we also find out why Gerry suddenly got back into watches and why, after years of wear, he decided Rolex wasn't for him. In a period of a few short months, Gerry has a stacked watch box, full of key pieces that aren't the usual suspects. We talk through some of the selections and find out where a watch fits into Gerry's style language and wardrobe, as well as what comes next. On top of that, Andy and Felix share their thoughts on some colourful IWC Pilot's, a brand on the rise and some over-the-top action.

Strap into the cockpit with Andy 'Flex' Green and his RIO Felix 'Meathook' Scholz as they take it to the limit one more time in this high-intensity, adrenaline-fuelled episode. From debating the correct pronunciation of 'mach' and analysing the IWC Pilot's Watches that made a big-screen appearance, it's fair to say Top Gun Maverick lives up to the hype. Speaking of hype, there's a new AP collab with Carolina Bucci, curveball chronometry from Zenith and some retro Navy SEALS action. Honestly, who needs guests?

The Hilltop Hoods have more than earned their place as Hip Hop royalty in Australia. The pioneering trio has racked up massive numbers of streams and awards aplenty, as well as supporting up and coming artists. So it was only a matter of time before they teamed up with another legend in the hip hop scene, G-Shock. OT: caught up with Mat and Dan (AKA Suffa and Pressure) to talk about the finer points of what the Hilltop Hoods want in a watch, life on the road, and, of course, the importance of Gary.

Today we speak to Dr Lorenz Brunner, the Farther of Ceratanium, about materials technology at IWC Schaffhausen. And IWC is a leader in the field of ceramics. The brand uses ceramic in cases, of course, but is also the only maker to serially produce ceramic movement components. We also find out about the difficulty and nuance involved in getting coloured ceramic just right and finding the balance between materials inspiring design and vice versa. On top of that, Andy and Felix chat about the return of TAG Heuer's Monaco Dark Lord and their return to IRL events.
