OT: The Podcast

This week Felix and Andy have some show and tell on hand, in the form of the stylish (and very wearable) Cartier Santos-Dumont, which were released this year in mechanical options. They also dive into a colourful Gucci collab, and a very fun, and open watch matchmaker from Marcus. Marcus has $6000 Aussie to spend on a not-overly-massive daily knock-around wearer, and he's not too fussed when it comes to style. Weirdly enough, Felix and Andy come up with six options that are very similar.

Two of them are literally the same watch, and three of the others are blue-dialled divers. But don't worry, with his last pick Felix went wild (and pretty off brief), so look out for that one.

In 2014 Flight Lieutenant Nathan Jones was co-pilot on a routine military transit flight from the UK to Afghanistan when the flight suddenly plummeted over 4000 feet in a matter of seconds. Listen to our interview with Nathan to find out what happened and how he managed to prevent the death of the near-200 passengers on board. Trust us; you'll want to hear this from the man himself.

And while this is a clear moment of heroism in Nathan Jones' career as an RAF pilot, it's not the only story he has to tell. Jones is also an Invictus Games medalist and has recently spent his hours aloft flying some very VIPS indeed, the Royal Household. And of course, because this is OT: we know that Jones is a fan of watches - in fact, he's a Bremont ambassador.

On top of that, Jones reps Lululemon as well. But in some ways it's Jones' on-the-ground work he's most passionate about, using his experiences to advocate for and educate around improving mental health and resilience.

It takes a particular sort of someone to found a brand at the age of 40, and, 11 years later sell for a reported £50 million to Chanel. It turns out the Orlebar brown founder Adam Brown is precisely that type of person. Orlebar Brown has been busy making chic swimwear - 'a short you can swim in' - rather than your typical trunks.

We chat to the swimwear supremo about his just-launched collaboration with IWC, which includes leisurewear as well as a particularly chic Portugieser. On top of that, we talk about what it takes to start a successful brand, and just what it's like to see your trunks clinging to James Bond's body.

Finally, Felix and Andy talk about the criteria for a perfect travel watch.

Full disclosure, there's quite a lot going on in this episode. We cover off treasure, Scorpions and why Andy was suddenly inundated with Breitlings. But the stars of the show are, without doubt, Kat and Katlen from Tenn & Two. We roped the Tennessee watch fans in to help us wrangle a particularly tricky watch matchmaker; finding a watch for a guy who needs to ditch his ugly digital habit and get something a bit more grown-up. Between the four of us, we come up with a range of solid options and waxed lyrical over drilled lugs.

And then Felix and Andy delved into the weirdness of the CIA getting into soft-rock and the legal implications of finding a pile of gold in the woods.

This episode is made possible by Swiss Typefaces.

James Dowling — author, dealer, collector and connoisseur is considered by many to be one of the world's leading authorities on Geneva's green giant — they don't call him Mister Rolex for nothing. And in his decades of collecting and focusing on the watch industry, James has some firm opinions about — well — everything (he's also got some pretty wild stories). From vintage Rolex collecting going too far, the state of watch knowledge in the Instagram generation through to what (and who) makes a good watch, he pulls no punches. So if you're looking for a 45-minute crash course in watch collecting and appreciation, you can't afford to miss this.

James Dowling is considered by many to be one of the world’s leading authorities on Geneva’s green giant - they don’t call him @misterrolex for nothing. From his decades of experience, James has formed some firm opinions about - well - everything (he’s also got some pretty wild stories). From vintage Rolex collecting going too far, the state of watch knowledge in the Instagram generation through to what/who makes a good watch.

He pulls no punches.
