    Jenni Elle on Audemars Piguet and Watches & Wonders

    Jenni Elle on Audemars Piguet and Watches & Wonders

    It’s been a hot minute, but we’re excited to have the one and only Jenni Elle back on the podcast. In case you’re not across her work, Jenni Elle is one of the biggest personalities on watch YouTube and a genuinely lovely person. The big news from Jenni Elle’s side of the world is that she’s had a child, so obviously, we talk about the pros and cons of passing it on to the next generation. In addition to the joys of a baby’s first Patek, we chat with Jenni about Watches & Wonders, including a bit of chat about what we can expect from everyone’s favourite hype brands, Rolex and Patek Philippe. But before that, we interrogated the new white-dialled Speedmaster, and argue over the finer points of whether or not a safe watch is inherently boring. We also cover the new releases from Audemars Piguet, including John Mayer’s Crystal Sky Perpetual Calendar.

    Louis Erard’s CEO Manuel Emch on the power of collabs

    Louis Erard’s CEO Manuel Emch on the power of collabs

    For the last instalment in the Dubai Files, Felix sits down with Manuel Emch, the creative mind behind the resurgence of Louis Erard, which has evolved over the last few years from a middle-of-the-road value proposition into a powerhouse of collaboration. Enlisting help from people like Alain Silberstein and Konstantin Chaykin has seen Louis Erard become one of the most interesting names in watchmaking at the moment. All thanks to the Emch, a man with a reputation for putting out fires. Felix finds out about Emch, his approach to watches and what might happen to Louis Erard when collabs go out of favour. Before that, Andy and Felix chat about their trip to Sydney for an evening with Kennedy, and the joys of soapbox racers.

    Ming Thein, founder of Horologer Ming, talks design and lightweight watches

    Ming Thein, founder of Horologer Ming, talks design and lightweight watches

    The Dubai Files keep on giving, as this week we’ve got Felix’s chat with Ming Thein, the self-described Supreme Overlord of Horologer Ming, one of the most exciting and prolific young watch brands, who have racked up 62 references in only six years. Felix and Ming spend a lot of time chatting about the incredible new Ming LW.01, which Ming believes is the lightest mechanical watch ever made, coming in at 8.8 grams for the manual and 10.8 grams for the automatic. Beyond this incredible feat, they also discuss the joys and challenges of being a young, nimble watch brand in this day and age.
    Closer to home, the big news is that Andy will be jetting off to his first-ever Watches & Wonders and is currently knee-deep in scheduling shenanigans. If you have any Geneva tips, let us know!

    February News — LVMH Watch Week, Piaget Hype and Taylor Swift

    February News — LVMH Watch Week, Piaget Hype and Taylor Swift

    LVMH Watch Week, which was recently held in Miami, marks the start fo the flood of new releases for the year, and for our first news episode, we fly through some of the highlights from TAG Heuer, Hublot, Bulgari and Zenith. Of course, LVMH doesn’t have a monopoly on the news, and Piaget’s hype-y new Polo 79 is bringing u80s realness back to the wrist. But all these new releases pale compared to the biggest news story of the last few months, about a woman so cool she doesn’t even need to wear watches on her wrists. Yes, the one and only Taylor Swift ruffled feathers by wearing a custom choker with a Concord watch front and centre. We have thoughts. Beyond that, the big news in OT: land is that we’re getting into video, so if you’ve ever wanted to see the faces we make while recording your favourite watch pod, you’re in luck.

    Verne Ho (@WatchStudies) on his Cartier passion

    Verne Ho (@WatchStudies) on his Cartier passion

    This week, Andy flies solo, chatting to Verne Ho, the man behind Watch Studies, which bills itself as the only dedicated tool and resource for watch photography, helping watch lovers to tell better stories about the watches they love. Verne is an experienced photographer and creative director, and we find out how he’s gone from watch-adjacent to full-blown nerd.
    Before that, Felix and Andy talk a bit about their 2024 plans, and why British spy drama is the best spy drama.

    Rolf Studer (Oris) on building a sustainable watch brand

    Rolf Studer (Oris) on building a sustainable watch brand

    As Andy and Felix enjoy their summer down under, the Dubai Files continues to deliver. This week Felix chats to Oris Co-CEO Rolf Studer, and it's not your average watch exec interview. Typically, it's a challenge to get a CEO to talk about anything but the watches, but in our chat with Studer, we ended up talking far more about the Enlightenment and philosophy (and how it relates to the business of watches) than is usual. Of course, we did manage to squeeze in some chat about the glorious Propilot X Laser along the way. Before that, please enjoy some light banter about holiday plans and the joys of British crime dramas.

Amazing Hosts with Inside Knowledge

Andy and Felix bring such a dynamic to this podcast that any watch lover would genuinely appreciate. They work so well off of each other, and you can tell they are not only in tune with their guests, but with each other overall. I never deemed myself as a watch connoisseur, but an avid watch enthusiast. This podcast makes me want to learn more on the ins and outs of watches. I also love hearing the stories behind a watch collection! Keep up the great work, gents!
