It's been a rough week and the guys cut loose for another round of unscripted banter. Plus, you'll get to hear about a monumental TBWS milestone - that Kaz & Mike completely forgot to update you on.

From content production to studio gear, YouTube, annoying limited editions and more - this episode has it all. Tune in, and unwind.

This week the guys are digging into one of the more pervasive perils of watch collecting out there: watch jargon. All too often we just nod our heads to watch terms that brands and other collectors fling about. So all of us here at TBWS have taken it upon ourselves to start shedding light on those watch terms that we feel all modern, thoughtful and informed watch enthusiasts should be aware of.... there's also a fair bit of horological hooliganism in this one. Enjoy!

This week the guys tackle the "F*ck You" watch. Now, where "Guilty Pleasure" watches are loved with a sense of guilt, the "F*ck You" watch is loved loud and proud. Sometimes existing outside our normal taste spectrum, and obviously existing far outside our normal budgets, the "F*ck You" watch topic is a safe space for horological enthusiasts to articulate their love for watches that are often ridiculous, ostentatious, or just plain weird.

It's time to debut a new segment after getting an awesome suggestion from a TBWS listener. This week, Kaz and Mike are going to run through some of the most popular and critically acclaimed watches on the market... that they just can't get behind.

Also, you'll get a chance to catch up on some spicy Baselworld news and hear about the time Mike almost became an astronaut.

It's time to revisit a classic TBWS segment - "Watch Brands We Know Nothing About." This time, Kaz runs us through some serious Jaquet Droz history. From Charming Birds to Automatas and modern JD pieces you won't want to miss. Be sure to check out the TBWS for news and a detailed Jaquet Droz timeline in this week's show post.

Things aren’t looking good in Mike’s neck of the woods this week, and the guys sit down to distract themselves with some casual watch talk. Luckily, we’re seeing some cool new releases from Timex and Bulova. Seriously, you gotta see these things.

Finally, we see a continuation of the TBWS COVID-19 discussion as Kaz and Mike chat through what watch collectors might expect in 2020 as the situation continues to evolve. Sit back, pull yourself away from the news, and enjoy some wristwatch bar talk.
