Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast 668! The Bel Canto changed the world for Christopher Ward. Brand awareness blossomed, and they began a process to re-jig their supply chain to cope with demand for such a high-end piece. The next big launch was the C12. This is integrated bracelet watch is a variation on a theme by Genta. Today, the brand launches the C12 Loco, a development of the C12 introducing elements of the Bel Canto and a new movement.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast 665! We were all in Geneva during Watches and Wonders, but Pietro got to experience a lot more of the independent watchmaking scene and new releases. Even new brands that you’ve probably never heard of, including the Guebly CH1 Rétrograde, Fam Al Hut Mark 1 Bi-Axis Tourbillon, Marc&Darnò Equation of Moon, and Breva Segreto di Lario.

Plus, watchmakers who have worked for others for years, perfecting their craft, are now carving their names on the dial, such as Ana Linde with the Dunselman Black Tulip and De Carvalho’s Model Dragonborn S01. While the more famous indies like Garrick, Singer, and Arnold and Son continue to impress. From within the ranks of the prestigious AHCI, we get the Kudoke 5 with its incredible engraved 24-hour dial.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast 663! Our Watches and Wonders 2025 Show Part 1! The Rolex rumours were true with the release of the Land Dweller with promising technology under the hood. From Bremont to Gerald Charles and Cartier, we noticed a jump-hour complication trend. Montblanc reaches new heights in their material science craft with the Geosphere Mount Vinson. While Moser was playing with mix and matching stones and their younger brother created an action figure watch. Ulysse Nardin’s clever name behind their new diver, the Dive Air, denotes a new world record. Plus, Chopard races ahead with an 8Hz movement.

The post Scottish Watches Podcast #663 : What Happened At Watches and Wonders 2025! appeared first on Scottish Watches.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast 662! Marking another anniversary in this year of celebration is Gerald Charles. The brand is celebrating 25 years since Gerald Charles Genta founded the company. In partnership with the Ziviani family, the brand has been moving from strength to strength in watchmaking pedigree and exposure, with the likes of Chris Pratt and Robert Downey Jr. wearing their watches.

Click here to read along and see the photos in our show notes as you listen –

The Genta legacy lives on in their droves of case and complication designs he envisioned for the brand, the majority never revealed to the public until this week in the Gerald Charles Atelier. Plus, we of course, get new watches for this celebration, including a new Maestro GC Sport Optic Yello, two Maestro 3.0 Chronograph Mini Tapisserie Claus de Paris, and best of all, the jump hour Maestro GC39 25th Anniversary Edition, which is quintessential Genta!

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 661! We ran out of time last recording, so this is our pre-Watches and Wonders rundown on new releases. We are actually impressed by the new Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon, which is exclusive to the Middle East after OK releases celebrating Audemars Piguet’s 150th anniversary.

Norqain makes the Wild One accessible to more wrists with new 39mm iterations and announces it on the wrist of Gary Nevil as a new ambassador and investor as Norqain expands to the UK. Another former Footballer, Nico Leanard, collaborates with Dutch microbrand Maen to create a handsome jump hour watch. Armin Strom announced the Orbit Purple, and it’s on the list of watches that we have to experience this week. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just arose because someone will get to own Neil Armstrong’s commemorative gold Omega Speedmaster as it’s going under the hammer.

The post Scottish Watches Podcast #661 : The Sneak Peak of New Watches Before Watches and Wonders 2025 appeared first on Scottish Watches.

Welcome to Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 660! It’s that time of year again, one week before Watches and Wonders, so before heading to Switzerland to experience what Czapek and the whole of the watch world are announcing, we’re chatting with Xavier about the novelties that are marking 180 years since the founding of Czapek and 10 years since its revival! Not the Antarctique socks, although those are great too, but the new Czapek Antarctique Tourbillon in Glacier Blue, Photon Sphere, and the limited edition Secret Alloy. The first of 3 major releases that will come later during Geneva Watch Days and in November to mark the exact date of the crowd-funded revival.
