This week, Mike & Joe have on guest collector Mike Compeau to discuss his unique collection of Giorgio Galli designed watches.  From Nautica to Timex to the new Timex Atelier watches.  This is a conversation shows that collecting goes beyond the dial.  We all have different ways of enjoying this hobby, and Mike has a very cool story.  All this and more, on this weeks episode.  Cheers!

We're starting the next 100 episodes in a very special way!  This week, we are joined by Ricard Callamaras from Accutron to dissect and discuss just how the Accutron electrostatic movement really works.  We also talk about the upcoming 314 tuning fork and where the future of Accutron is headed.  This is a fantastic conversation, especially for the techies!  Also, this will be a cross-platform episode with Accutron!  You may start to see us in more internet spaces, than just at the Springbar.  All that and more, on this week's episode!  Cheers!

This week we've got such a fun episode!  Michael Benavente joins us to help celebrate our 100th episode!  We talk about how it all started, the journey we've had and where we'll end up in the future.  Plus, a VERY SPECIAL announcement that you DON'T want to miss!!!  Thank you to everyone that has been part of our journey over the last 100 episodes!  This one is for you, Cheers!

This week, Mike & Joe get into a fun topic.  The small subcollection of watches that have started to emerge over our years of collecting.  Watches that don't necessarily fit our collecting theme, but have still managed to work their way into the soft spots in our heart.  Of course, Joe thinks Mike is wrong and tries to prove him wrong.  What ensues is a hilarious conversation between the two.  All this and more... Cheers!

This week, Mike & Joe have three extraordinary guests!  Susan Chandler, Sonia Breganti & Patty Schmoyer.  Each brings a unique perspective to the world of women's watches.  Marketing, product design and retail sales.  This is a conversation that has been a long time coming, and we couldn't have a better panel of ladies to have this conversation.  Very much a unisex conversation for all collectors and consumers!  Cheers!

This week, Mike & Joe select a few eBay listings that they think are either really cool, or good deals!   If they're still available, you can follow along our buy them yourself (but do it because you want to, not because we said so)

This week, Mike and Joe talk about some watches they were sent, for review.  Joe talks about two new watches from Markwell Watches, and Mike has the WindUp Chicago x Bulova Snorkel Limited Edition, courtesy of a valued listener!  Joe also talks about his time at the Minutes + Hours Los Angeles watch event.  Plus he also shares a very surprising hot take about Furlan Marri and Christopher Ward.   All this and more, on this weeks episode.  Cheers!

This week, Mike & Joe discuss the apparent controversial topic of whether or not you should buy watches based solely on price, or if you should buy based on emotion and meaning.  As it seems, those who think less about price are apparently "disconnected from reality."  If you like the back-and-forth arguments between the boys, you'll love this episode.  All this and more, Cheers!

This week, Mike & Joe go down the rabbit hole of how many watches is too many watches.  Is there even such a thing?  You'll just have to listen and decide for yourself.  Cheers! 

This week, Michael Benavente is back, and he's bring a bunch of stuff with him!  New fall models, some talk about the recently announced Accutron 314 Tuning Fork, and... drum roll please... A brand new Caravelle release that we could not be more excited to be a part of!  All this and more, on this weeks episode!  Cheers!
