Gregg and Matt meet live to do an extended wrist-check with a pair of recent GMT offerings from Formex (Stratos UTC) and Nodus (Contrail GMT). Matt then waxes hopeful with a notional wishlist for upcoming releases from Grand Seiko and Tudor. Will this year bring blessings to the GS faithful who'd love to see a REAL "Submariner killer"..?? Time will tell. In the meantime, thanks for listening.

If it's us talking about Fordite, lume, and good beer, it can only mean that we are joined by none other than Lume Wizard Extraordinaire, The Black Badger- aka James Thompson. James is a Canadian expat living in Sweden, and he is known worldwide as a design maven specializing in unusual materials and off-the-charts lume. He's done collabs with some of the biggest names in the game. In this episode, we chat about everything from his watch design projects, the Miami Vice/ GTA mural in his workshop, and the amazing beer culture in Copenhagen.

For motorsport fans, it's an amazing time. The long-anticipated start to the F1 2025 Season is upon us, and we are once again joined by Spence, from the "Whiskey and Watches Podcast". This is our 3rd annual pre-season roundup with Spence, and we cover team driver pairings, 2024 highlights, predictions, and more.

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!
