Matt is joined live by SoCal TGN community stalwart, Jon C aka @thegrailnato aka "ARKEN Hunter" to discuss the unique appeal of indie darling Arken Watch Co. Jon has voted with his dollars, and owns pretty much every model from the UK-based über-micro. We also get up to some chat regarding Omega's recent Seamaster 300M in Bronze Gold, Sinn's latest novelties, and more. This one is live, so bear with the background noise and as always, thanks for listening!

Can women wear "men's" watches? Heck yeah! That's the topic for this episode. Matt is joined by Sara Wiley, the better half of SOTP alum Zac Wiley (from the Anti Watch Watch Club episodes) to discuss this trend and do a bit of brainstorming on a list of men's watches that can be ideal for women. Thanks for listening!

Holy cow, we did it! We've made it to 100 episodes, and we're both a bit stunned, to be honest. In this somewhat overdue episode, we each talk about a few episodes that we'd pick for a highlight reel of the pod. It was impossible to shout out everyone or to highlight each of our faves, but it's a fun look back in any case. Thanks to all of you for listening and for helping us along the way. Cheers!

We've all done it; gone to have brunch and been sat next to a table that is talking (probably too loudly) about some topic that forces you to start listening more to *them* than to your own party. That's called "ear hustlin'" and that's this episode in a nutshell. Matt sat down with @dcvintagewatches, along with the dudes from @theouttatimepodcast (@summereskimo and @horologicalchronicals) for a Hawaiian-themed breakfast to discuss everything from vintage Seiko, the best men's watches for women, and a bunch of other weird stuff. That's what's cool about live recordings... when it's done right, the listener feels like they are sitting at the end of the table with us. Pour a coffee, a glass of POG, or even a morning Mai Tai, and have a listen!

Gregg and Matt meet live to discuss new watches from Patek Philippe and Oris, and move swiftly on to the main topic: our recommendations for the best non watch related follows across a variety of platforms- pop music, comedy, current events, military affairs etc. Check it out!

Everyone's favorite watch brand frontman- Christopher Ward's Mike Pearson (see episode 88)- was kind enough to arrange for us to spend some time with review samples of 2 amazing pieces- the C65 Aquitaine GMT and the sensational "The Twelve". If you've been paying attention to the watch world for the past year or so you already know that The Twelve is one of 2 world-beating timepieces that Christopher Ward has released lately (the other being the Bel Canto). We gave these watches a thorough "time on the wrist" test run and came away impressed. Thanks for listening.

This episode features Joey, aka "9mm Musashi", a stalwart in the law enforcement training world and, predictably, a pretty serious watch enthusiast. We discuss everything from emotional intelligence in law enforcement, the importance of service to the community, and one hell of a good story about a watch gifted to his dad. I also make a lame attempt to draw parallels between Musashi's teachings and the world of watch collecting. Spoiler alert: it's a bit cringe (but funny). Thanks for listening!

Eric, aka "Rico" (formerly of the eponymous Rico's Watches Podcast) checks in to catch up on his post-pod life, and to share musings on the importance of story/history in the watch hobby. While Eric's podcast is a thing of the past, he has been keeping himself busy in the watch arena, and we get some of the details over our chat. Thanks for listening!

Matt is joined by Fratello.com contributor and "Fratello on Air" cohost, Balazs Ferenczi, coming to us live from Hungary (just in time for the Hungarian Grand Prix!). In this episode, we discuss the rather monumental news that Rolex is apparently OUT as a title sponsor of Formula 1, to be replaced by LVMH and their significantly larger financial support commitment. We also pivot to Seiko news. Back during the Covid years, Matt predicted that Seiko would reintroduce the Pogue, and that it would be in a solar quartz format. But is the new Seiko solar Speedtimer *really* worthy of carrying the "Pogue" moniker? Listen to find out...

Remember that kid who got WIS-famous for meticulously reverse-engineering an Urwerk..? Tha's Karel, the engineering phenom behind Barrelhand. (We can hear you now..."WTF is Barrelhand?" Lol. Barrelhand is the outfit that is tackling the task of creating a purpose-built, designed-from-the-ground-up spacefarer's watch.) Karel joins us to chat about his love of outdoor adventure, craft beer, classic rock, and the timepiece that might finally knock Omega off its perch as the ultimate, LEGIT space watch brand.
