The Springbar Podcast

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!

This week, Joe traveled last minute to Fabulous Las Vegas for the new Accutron 314 tuning fork release party and for the Couture 2025 show.  He's got some stories to tell!  All this and more, on this weeks episode.  Cheers!

This week, Mike is on location and Joe is still in location.  Discussing reissues?  A topic discussed once before, but there's a few new things that should be brought to light.  All this and more, on this weeks episode.  Cheers!

Welcome back to part 2 of our interview with Carl Rosen.  Mike is MIA but Joe keeps things rolling.  Thanks for listening and we hope you've enjoyed this journey into Bulovas lost history! Cheers!

This week we have a very special guest.  Carl Rosen is the Bulova brand historian and former COO.   He worked for the company for 30 years and he's got some stories to tell.  If you don't learn something from this episode, I would be shocked!  We were extremely fortunate to be able to sit down with Carl for 2.5 hours, and so this is part 1 of 2.  Don't worry, you'll only have to wait a couple of days to hear the rest of it.  We had such a great time recording this one, and we really hope you enjoy it!  Cheers!

This week, Mike & Joe discuss some things that really bug them about watches.   Do you agree with some of their complaints, or do you think they're totally wrong?  You'll just have to decide for yourself.  Also, Mike tries to convince Joe that he might actually like wearing a regulator watch.  Hmmm... all this and more, on this weeks episode! Cheers!

This week, Mike & Joe make their W&W 2025 Picks.  Plus, Mike praises Rolex?  Find out what he has to say, on this weeks episode.  Cheers!
