The HourTime Show

We got a wild one here, folks. Your pals John, Victor, and Nicholas are back discussing a range of topics including proving watch provenance using the blockchain, how to think about NFTs and art, what watch companies can learn from the sneaker industry, and whether or not Citizen has any business selling a $6000 watch. Are watches tools or jewelry? We have thoughts. Feel free to reach out via email at [email protected] or hit us up via Instagram at @wristwatchreview. As always, thank you for listening, and keep it locked to wristwatchreview.com for more fun watch content.

Get excited! Your pals John, Victor, and Nicholas are back with energy to spare this week as they delve into the latest watch news, including Hamilton's decision to add a bracelet to the Khaki Field Mechanical, a slew of new Seikos (as well as John's skepticism toward Grand Seiko), and whether or not watch reviewers forget about everyday consumers when evaluating watches. Good stuff. Please be sure to visit WristWatchReview.com and follow our Instagram (@wristwatchreview) for more fun watch content. Thank you for listening!

The three amigos of The HourTime Show are back! This week, the gang goes in-depth on some watch industry inside baseball discussing Hodinkee's acquisition of used watch retailer Crown & Caliber and what this says about watch journalism here in 2021. Rise and grind. We also talk at length about Rolex wanting to wrest control of the "milsub" trademark from an independent watch brand in Florida. Why would Rolex want such a thing? Victor has thoughts. As always, thanks for listening and be sure to check out wristwatchreview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content. Thank you!

John graces us with his presence this week to lead a spirited discussion of social media influencers flaunting fake watches on IG, and the brands... not really caring about it. Bonkers. It's a compelling follow-up to our story on the site from a few weeks ago on a big "rep" factory in China being raided. John also gives us an audio review of sorts of the Bulova Devil Diver that Victor and Nicholas fawned over last week, while John and Victor go on a delightful tangent on the similarities between watch geekery and guitar geekery. Boys and their toys. Please feel free to send feedback via email to [email protected] or via Instagram at @wristwatchreview. Have a great week, and be sure to visit wristwatchreview.com for more fun watch content. Thanks for listening! -Nicholas

It's just Victor and Nicholas again this week as John attends to his "real" job, whatever that is. No matter: V and N are here to discuss a handful of watches that caught our eye over the past few days including Moser's sorta-kinda Apple Watch homage, a tremendous summer diver from Bulova, and a straight-out-of-the-1970s Tissot. John would probably hate it because it's quartz but he's not here to stop us now is he? ::taps nose::

Thank you again for listening, and be sure to reach via email at [email protected] or via Instagram at instagram.com/wristwatchreview (aka @wristwatchreview). Have a great week! 

John has returned after his two-week absence to wrest control of the good ship HMS HourTime, steering our discussions of DIY watchmaking and how not to ruin your watch, the New York Times's story about President Biden's Datejust, what even is "value" in this age of r/wallstreetbets and rocket ship emojis, and a couple new watches we've been wearing for review including the Vaer D5 Artic and Nordgreen Pioneer.

As always, we'd love your feedback. You can email the show at [email protected] or tweet us individually: John is @johnbiggs, Victor is @vmarks, and Nicholas (who produces the show) is @nicholasadeleon. You can also find us on Instagram @wristwatchreview. Tag us and say hi!

Thank you for listening, and have a great rest of your week. -Nicholas

Welcome back to The HourTime Show! It's just Victor and Nicholas again this week (John had a scheduling conflict), but there's plenty to go over, including a very handsome new chronograph from Zenith and an affordable dive watch that's the spitting image of a Tag Heur Aquaracer. We also attempt to build respectable collections for the price of a single Rolex.  And yes, we recorded this episode before Patek Philippe confirmed that it had discontinued the Nautilus Ref 5711. Lame timing for us, but we'll get to it next week. As always, thank you for listening, and be sure to send your feedback via email to [email protected] or @WristWatchReview on Instagram. Thanks!

Episode three of The HourTime Show has arrived! This week your pals discuss whether or not to buy a Casioak (too late!), the move from the Seiko SKX to the Seiko 5KX, and just how much more Omega can milk the design of the Speedmaster. Will John allow it? There's only one way to find out! Be sure to visit wristwatchreview.com and @wrsitwatchreview for more fun watch content. Thank you for listening!

Welcome to the second episode of the rebooted HourTime Show podcast! In this episode we say good riddance to 2020 and look forward to a new year filled with new watches that, fingers crossed, we'll be able to show each other in person. We also discuss our perceptions of Swiss versus Japanese watches (chiefly Seiko and Citizen), and what, exactly, constitutes "iconic" design.
