Two Broke Watch Snobs

It's time cool it with the whole Basel-boner and really nail down the year's most thoughtful releases - across a range of price levels. Kaz and Mike share what they'd actually spend their money on, debate the legitimacy of some of the higher-end pieces, and share their frustrations overall. But hey, as slow as Baselworld was this year... it's almost as if the Snobs enjoyed it a little more than previous years.

TBWS Baselworld 2019 Coverage: http://twobrokewatchsnobs.com/baselworld-2019-our-thoughts-so-far/

2019 is already feeling like the end times – the Sword of Damocles feels primed to plummet down upon us at any moment… perfect time to talk watches! This week Mike and Kaz wanted to share their perspective on how to build a watch collection in 2019 the TBWS way. The choices below are designed for watch folks who may already have a piece or two under their belts and they’re looking at options for how to explore their horological inclinations further. As such the choices below span styles and prices but all of them are badass!

This week the guys are revisiting the talk on Women's watches and how things have changed (or not changed) since the last episode. We talk Tudor ads, microbrands, and the general overall state of how (and why) certain watches are marketed to women. Plus, the guys share which overtly marketed "Women's watches" they'd totally rock on wrist.

This week Mike and Kaz are talking about limited edition watches – more specifically, are they actually doing us any good? What’s the endgame with a brand offering a limited edition watch? Mike and Kaz share their opinions with each other to discover if the new landscape of horology will be all limited editions all the time.
