This Watch Life

In this episode we talk about some of the watch news we have found interesting in the last week. Watches from Moser/Studio Underdog, Longines, Sarpaneva, Laurent Ferrier, and King Seiko.

In this episode we answer a questioner from Jordi about how we actually time things with mechanical watches. Except for a very select and expensive few watches, there aren't many options in mechanical watches for minute-level accuracy timers which actually notify you. So, what are we to do?

We also talk a little about the new Apple Watches and some of the very watch industry terminology they seem to be using when talking about their Apple Watch (don't call it a smart watch!).

In today's episode we discuss the recently released Biver Automatique, and the fact that the MoonSwatch is now FINALLY available online! Well, sort of.

In this episode Vu asked an AI to recommend 6 watches for his stylish but adventurous partner that were between $3000 and $10000. Then he asked her to react to them.

In this episode we answer a question from ⁠@time2_myself⁠ about the best season to buy watches, and from ⁠@watch.hightower⁠ about collecting other things that pair with watches.

In this episode we answer a question from @watchmedicine about what dress watch we would choose from the Holy Trinity, and a question from @time.the.destroyer about whether or not we'd consider moving to Switzerland.

In this episode we answer a question from @see_me_watch about what's more important in watch buying decisions, the dial, or the movement?

We use a couple of Grand Seikos that Vu is extremely interested in as examples:

Grand Seiko SLGW003

Grand Seiko SLGW005

In this episode Lydia shares with Vu some of the watches that have been announced at Geneva Watch Days and Shanghai Watches and Wonders.

In this episode we talk about the watch Lydia borrowed from Oris for a week while she was visiting Florida last month. We talk about her thoughts on the watch and on Oris's new 2024 Sustainability Report.

⁠Oris Aquis Date 36.5 Mother of Pearl⁠

⁠Oris Sustainability Report 2024⁠

In this episode we answer a question from @spillingcoffeeoncars about vintage watches and whether or not service history is factored into the pricing.

For the first time we have a guest expert on the podcast, because @windsmeup recorded a detailed answer for this question!
