This week Wesley Smith joins the podcast to recap the current Formula 1 season, and the latest race in Las Vegas. This season's Driver's Championship has become far more competitive than anticipated, with Max Verstappen now fully in the picture within 24 points of the lead held by Lando Norris. In this episode, we talk about how the season has unfolded, and what rookies have caught our the most after a full season of growth. As usual, there's some watch talk thrown in for good measure.

Recapping a busy week of releases from the likes of Omega, Tudor, Oris, and more in this week's episode. There are plenty more watches and events to discuss in the coming weeks, including Dubai Watch Week, and the GPHG awards so stay tuned for more. In this episode, I react to the new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, and try to make sense of the emerging world of the luxury diver.

This week, Rub Nudds of The Real Time Show joins the podcast along with Øystein Helle Husby, the co-founder of Straum watches. These two recount a harrowing journey on the Arctic seas from Svalbard to Jan Mayen island, and the collaborative watch that it resulted in. The watch is fittingly called the Stormy Seas, and the dial captures the energy and color of the storm whipped waters between the Atlantic and the frigid Arctic.

This week, watch journalist Cait Bazemore returns to the podcast to chat about new releases and trends in the industry.

This week, I’m excited to welcome Vincent Robert to the podcast. Vincent is a Switzerland based watchmaker with ties to the FHH and the HSNY’s traveling education series. In this episode, we discuss his route into watchmaking, interesting new releases and their technical innovations, and independent servicing and watchmaking in the coming generation. We also talk about the unforeseen repercussions of some of these horological innovations when it comes to long term ownership. And finally, he offers advice as to how a new generation can get into the trade.

This week, Wesley Smith returns to the podcast to take an overview of the current Formula 1 season coming out of the summer break. It’s been McLaren’s season thus far, but there’s a lot of highly competitive action throughout the tight midfield. We talk about all of it, including the rookies, the changes we’d like to see in the cars, and even a few tracks we’d like to see make a comeback. Additionally, we examine the differences between Lando and Oscar, and ponder who would be the best to have a beer with (and why it’s probably Zak Brown).
