This week, Wesley Smith and I recap our recent travels with IWC to Goodwood outside of London, and the Miami GP outside of, well, Miami. We chat watch spotting, new releases (and some old ones) from IWC, and of course, race cars. These trips held a few surprises even for us, which we share our experiences around.

This week, the show welcomes automotive media veteran Eddie Alterman to chat about cars, the automotive industry, and watches. Eddie served as the Editor in Chief of Car & Driver for 10 years, and now finds himself leading automotive editorial for Hearst, overseeing properties like Car & Driver, Road & Track, Motortrend, Hot Rod, Autoweek, and a personal favorite, Bring A Trailer. There is a surprising amount of overlap between how we think about cars and watches of a certain era, which has defined our enthusiasm for both, and we get into just why that is in this episode.

Watches & Wonders 2025 is in the books, and in this episode I'm joined by Danny Milton to recall some of the biggest releases and news from the show. We talk about the new Land-Dweller from Rolex, and its unique Dynapulse escapement, which Danny had unique access to prior to the show. There was also plenty of other interesting releases this year in what turned out to be a pretty solid Watches & Wonders all around. Keep an eye out for more coverage of the new watches in the coming months.

This week I'm thrilled to welcome James Stacey back to the podcast. James and I have just returned from a trip to Paris with Richard Mille and Ferrari to get a first hand look at the new 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph. In this episode, we react to the watch, and chat about some of the other highlights of the trip, including time in a racing simulator set up (and how we might go about replicating such a set up in our own homes). Additionally, we look ahead to Watches & Wonders and ponder what's in store for us, including which Rolex watch would make the most sense in RLX titanium.

This week we take a look at new divers from Seiko celebrating 60 years since the 62MAS, which includes a new monobloc Marinemaster. Seiko also introduced a new King Seiko Vanac collection, recalling a short lived name from the early '70s. Additionally, I talk about pairing down my collection recently, and how I'm looking to bring my focus to the watches I buy moving ahead, and remove redundancies in the process. There's also a commentary about bonding with a few watches rather than hoarding many. Finally, there's an update on my small form factor PC build, and what is motivating the process.
