What do the Royal Oak, Grand Seiko Snowflake, Tissot PRX, and full-lume dials have in common? They're all under attack!

We dive into our first ever brand collab with the charming folks at Abinger Watches, before putting our collections through a mid-year performance review. Which watches pull the most wrist time? And what are our goals going forward?

You’ll learn Iman has strong feelings about “snot watches,” while Chris risks being banned from Genta fan clubs, before we finish off with a listener question.

We’re thrilled to welcome our first-ever guest to the pod—Mike Pearson, North American Brand Director for Christopher Ward! Mike brings over years of industry experience and infectious passion to the mic. Having spearheaded CW’s bold North American expansion, he’s been instrumental in shaping the brand’s growing reputation for exceptional quality and innovation.

In this episode, we dig into the new Superman movie (SPOILERS AHEAD), and have some fun fan-casting watches onto the characters. We wrap things up with a great audience question from @tom_j_cox_ that gives us the feels.

Cape up, wind your watch, and press play.

And if you want to visit Mike at the Christopher Ward showroom in Dallas, you can make an appointment HERE.

Join the Wristies as they catch up on all the petite watch news before checking their helium escape valves to dive into the world of dating! Are they wasting oxygen discussing the subtleties of choosing a date watch? Or do normies care about how wound up we get deciding on the perfect ticker for the occasion? Finally, the Wristies take on another audience question from @dogsontime, which serves as the ideal segue to introduce their pups, Phantom and Banner.
