This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, the regular trio is at it again with the latest news and releases! The guys dive right into Tudor's latest release, the black Pelagos FXD, and the hype surrounding its announcement. Perhaps inevitably, that segues into a broader discussion of Tudor's catalog and product strategy. Then it's on to Apple's new watches, just announced at its latest event; a few questions about the Louis Vuitton Watch Prize, for which 20 semi-finalists were just announced; and this year's GPHG nominees. Then it's on to headier fare, as the team talks about the value of learning about watches you can't afford and will never own. Things wrap up with some new releases and recent reviews.  Highlights New Release: Tudor Drops A Black Pelagos FXD Watch Hands-On: Underwater With The Black Tudor Pelagos FXD Watch Hands-On: Apple Watch Series 9 Is First-Ever Fully Carbon Neutral Apple Product Hands-On: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Adds Carbon Neutral Options & Spec Upgrades Louis Vuitton Announces Semi-Finalists For The LV Watch Prize Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève Nominated timepieces | GPHG Ariel's Thoughts: Why You Should Take Interest In Luxury Watches You Can't Afford New Release: MB&F M.A.D.Editions M.A.D.1 GREEN Watch New Release: Ulysse Nardin Freak X OPS Watch New Release: The IWC Big Pilot's Watch AMG G 63 To Pair With Your G-Wagen New Release: Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ Edition Watch Hands-On: Baume & Mercier’s Titanium Riviera 39mm Watch Impresses We’d love to hear from you with feedback or suggestions for future show topics or guests.

This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, it's another full house as Rick, Ariel, and David, cover the latest from the site and the watch industry. Things start off with a chat about underwater photography and lume shots before a discussion about flipping watches, particularly the Moonswatch. Naturally, things flow into the Swatch x Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (the Swifty Fathoms) and speculation about the next internal affordable Swatch collab (Hamilton Swentura, anyone?). Plus, David's trip to the North with Fortis, Guess the Seiko Price, a recent review, and Hit, Miss, Maybe.

This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, the crew is back as David continues his recovery from Geneva Watch Days. First up, a discussion of Barbenheimer and a discussion of David's love of short-form documentaries. Shifting back on topic, David discusses some of his favorite watches from Geneva Watch Days. Then, a discussion of the biggest topic of the week: the Swatch x Blancpain collab. Then things get a bit headier with a chat about brands' shifting sales strategy and the potential consequences of that shift. Things wrap up with another round of Hit, Miss, Maybe.

This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, the crew is back together as Rick makes his triumphant return! Things start off a bit different, with a discussion of watch brands from Scotland (like anOrdain), Hungary (like Bexei), and the United States (too many to mention). Then it's on to the biggest news of the last week if not of the year (TBD): Rolex buying Bucherer. Then it's on to some exciting new releases from Audemars Piguet (which David describes as "the most repulsively try-hard, trust fund baby, hipster nonsense") and Grand Seiko. Ariel then takes some time to talk about the passing of his friend and the owner of Maurice de Mauriac, Daniel Dreifuss. The gang wraps things up with another round of Hit, Miss, Maybe.  Highlights Rolex Buys Swiss Bucherer Watch Retailer Group. What Now?

This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, Rick has trapped himself in concrete while laying a foundation on his sprawling Scottish estate, so it's just Ariel and David bringing you riveting conversation about the latest in watches.
