Rikki is joined by Barbara Palumbo for one of those wide-ranging conversations that somehow cover everything from World Cup football fever in America to the latest watch news.

Barbara shares her experiences from Las Vegas, where the Couture x Time To Watches and JCK shows signaled a renewed push for watches in the US retail market, before diving into the standout pieces that caught her attention recently, from inventive microbrands and affordable jump-hour watches to the creative work of Dan Tannenbaum and the latest releases from Nubeo, Out of Order, and more.

We discuss the future of the new Basel show that will focus on jewelry watches, as Barbara’s other expertise is jewelry and cover whats been happening since her last visit after this year’s Watches and Wonders show.

The post Scottish Watches Podcast #792 : No Scottish Watches – No Party appeared first on Scottish Watches.

To take our minds off how Scotland is doing in the World Cup, we have a slate of new world-class watch releases. UN unveils a big upgrade to the Freak X line. New bracelet, new movement which expands the technologies they’re already famous for, and better proportions. As much as Nicholas is an icon of elegance, the range of adventure/field watches from Fears is expanding after the striking success of its predecessors, as the Fears Brunswick 40 ‘Helmsman’ ES.

Coinciding with the sun’s blazing heat across Europe are the new Citizen 1 Eco-Drive and Attesa, which celebrate 50 years of Eco-Drive in two distinct styles. We’re still hopeful that Scotland can make a comeback, and Basel is hoping to bring back a big trade show to the city that once hosted the world’s biggest watch show for a long time, though this new event will cater mostly to jewelry brands, so we discuss the probabilities of this being a success.

The post Scottish Watches Podcast #791 : Getting Freaky With Your X appeared first on Scottish Watches.

In this episode of Scottish Watches, Rikki is joined by returning guest Keith from eBay and first-time guest Sarah Dixon from Enquirus to explore one of the most significant developments in watch collecting and security in recent years including a completely FREE service provided by Richemont but covering ALL watch brands and in collaboration with multiple police forces across the UK and Europe.

Click here to read along and see the photos in our show notes as you listen – http://www.scottishwatches.co.uk/2026/06/22/scottish-watches-podcast-790-making-stolen-watches-too-hot-to-handle/

The conversation dives deep into the launch of eBay’s integration with Enquirus, the world’s largest lost-and-stolen luxury watch database. Sarah explains how a project that began within Richemont has evolved into an industry-wide initiative involving over 200 watch brands, police forces in more than 30 countries, Interpol, insurers, and major secondary-market platforms.

They already have real-world recovery stories, how stolen watches are tracked across international borders, the role AI plays in identifying serial numbers and protecting collectors, and why this free service could fundamentally change the way enthusiasts buy and sell watches.

The episode also covers the latest developments from eBay, including authenticity guarantees, the explosive growth of eBay Live watch sales, trading card authentication, and the effect of the AP x Swatch collaboration.

Richemont launches Enquirus, a neutral, digital platform designed to help the global luxury industry address watch and jewellery theft worldwide.

The post Scottish Watches Podcast #790 : Making Stolen Watches Too Hot To Handle appeared first on Scottish Watches.

Rikki and Dave begin with the Arnold & Son x The Limited Edition HM London Skyline, a 20-piece celebration of London that combines a hand-crafted mother-of-pearl cityscape with hidden luminescent modern landmarks and Arnold & Son’s ultra-thin, manually wound calibre. They then move to Spinnaker’s latest SpongeBob SquarePants DoodleBob collection, a trio of affordable mechanical watches packed with playful dial details, character artwork, and limited-edition surprises. Christopher Ward’s new C60 Pool Diver, created with seconde/seconde/, brings a humorous take on holiday culture through a reimagined dive watch dial, while a deep technical discussion on Ronda’s new R01 mechanical movement explores its silicon escapement, free-sprung balance, chronometer-grade performance, and potential impact on the Swiss movement market. The episode also examines Timex’s ambitious Atelier Automatic Chronograph and whether its specifications justify its move into a higher price bracket before finishing with one of the year’s most extraordinary creations, the MB&F HM12 The Guardian, a towering robot sculpture and horological machine featuring rotating eye displays, a flying tourbillon, and an intricate system of movable armour plates. Alongside the watches, we share stories from recent watch events and upcoming eBay live auctions

Gem from Elliot Brown is back, and we’re exploring everything happening behind the scenes at one of Britain’s most distinctive tool-watch brands.

From a packed international event schedule spanning New York, Dallas, Glasgow, Poland, and beyond, to the evolution of the Elliot Brown collection with colourful California-dial releases, upcoming automatic models, and the enduring appeal of quartz watches.

We don’t just focus on the watches but on how you can experience them. The top takeaway from this episode is to go try the watches!

The post Scottish Watches Podcast #788 : The Elliot Brown 2026 Debrief – A Lot Has Changed! appeared first on Scottish Watches.

Before all the excitement of Scotland making its way back to the World Cup, we are here to talk about a lineup of new releases ranging from the artisanal to the outright unconventional.

Kicking things off with the collaborative Ming 37.06 Lightning, exploring its hand-guilloché dial crafted by Shapiro and the broader story behind the Alternative Horological Alliance.

Click here to read along and see the photos in our show notes as you listen – http://www.scottishwatches.co.uk/2026/06/11/scottish-watches-podcast-787-the-mid-year-update/

From there, we venture into the aerospace-inspired Barrelhand Monolith, a watch engineered from space-age materials and built with open-source ambitions, with so much going on that it’s really something you need to dive into. Next, tackling the colourful new Tudor that is summer-ready, even if not much else changed, and the latest high-concept from TAG Heuer, which sees them collaborate with Louis Vuitton in yet another model that brings new tech to the Monaco.

We’ll be taking a closer look at the latest from Kollokium, G-Shock, Czapek, Moser, and more, while also diving into some of the stories shaping the wider watch world. The best comes from the collaboration between Mr. Jones Watches and Beano, bringing a childhood favourite for many in the UK, Dennis the Menace, to the wrist. Along the way, we’ll talk about Formula One sponsorship shakeups, the state of the secondary market, limited editions that disappeared almost as quickly as they launched, and why some brands are proving that innovation doesn’t have to come from the usual suspects.

We also bring you a heartfelt insert from Simon from Brooklands Watches, not about the watch brand but about the Buying Time charity auction. An evolution of his wife’s idea to create a fund to help families have amazing experiences and enjoy the time they have left with a family member going through terminal illness, after having lost their son, Michael, in 2022. Amongst the watches is a historic CASIO AW-370/1318, which was on the wrist of Andy Green when he set his supersonic land speed record in the ThrustSSC.

The post Scottish Watches Podcast #785 : Our Most Menacing Episode Yet appeared first on Scottish Watches.

This week on the Scottish Watches Podcast, we’re joined by Formex CEO Raphael Granito for what has become an annual tradition: unveiling something nobody saw coming. After a whirlwind tour of Geneva’s independent watch scene, Windup San Francisco, and the latest developments at Formex, Raph takes us behind the scenes of the brand’s most ambitious project to date.

Click here to read along and see the photos in our show notes as you listen – http://www.scottishwatches.co.uk/2026/06/01/scottish-watches-podcast-784-formex-have-rewritten-the-rules-again/

We’re talking about a completely new integrated-bracelet sports watch, in grade 5 titanium, that’s just 6.9mm tall, utilizing Horage’s high-tech K2 microrotor movement, a stunning sculpted dial unlike anything we’ve seen before, and a design philosophy inspired as much by nature as by traditional watchmaking.

We discuss the risks of moving into a higher price category, why Formex continues to win over collectors year after year, and how a company known for value-driven innovation plans to take its next big step forward.

Omega also accomplishes a first, introducing the first Omega Seamaster Chronograph in honor of 007, but not in relation to a movie, but rather a video game.

AP is back to its normal haute horology ways after the “exciting” launch of the Royal Pop with Swatch, bringing down the size of its Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon.

There are also new gem set pieces for the JLC Reverso and the MB&F LM Perpetual Calendars and one does it significantly better than the other.
