Tudor Dives Deep, Louis Vuitton Hunts The Little Guys, And Ulysse Nardin's Swamp Watch
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.

Lume Appreciation, More Swifty Fathoms, And A New Space Watch
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. Listen below or on the player of your choice.

This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, the crew is back as David continues his recovery from Geneva Watch Days.

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.

Rolex Opens Up Shop, National Watch Brands, And AP Hipster Nonsense
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.

Horology Kink, A Tritium Tube Monopoly, And Star Trek Chronometer Testing

The duo dispenses with headiness and gets right into recent reviews and releases, including watches from TAG Heuer, Ulysse Nardin, and Glashütte Original; one recent review brings about a rather in-depth conversation about tritium tubes!
