Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast. CP7 have a guest who looks at watches and the watch world in a slightly different way from the regular enthusiast; it's strictly business.

Join us as we talk to Co-Founder and current Editor-At-Large of WatchPro magazine, Rob Corder, whose breaking stories, updates, and columns have brought us some of the biggest and most talked about scoops in the industry.

We discuss the state of the industry, the challenges it faces and its many forms of watch media, including how to survive in the current jungle of online and social media content.

Being a British magazine editor with a wealth of experience, we get Rob's take on the current state of play of the two biggest names in British watches from recent years, namely Bremont and Christopher Ward. How they have moved in different directions and the business outcomes of taking those decisions.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as Rob talks watches, just business, not personal!

He is back! Last seen in Episode 40, he now returns for Episode 80! Mr Fratello, and good friend of the show, RJ Broer, joins us again for another bout of insightful and informed watch talk with the CP7 Boys.

Catching up on what has been happening in the watch world, we first delve into George Kern's House of Brands and the recent relaunch of Gallet at Geneva Watch Days. Find out RJ's, and our, take on whether there was a need for the brand to return. Are Breitling and the House of Brands taking a risk by having such a close association in their boutiques? Is Gallet Breitling's version of how Tudor is to Rolex?

Talking of which, Rolex is a brand that is loved by many and loathed by others, but it always gets the watch world talking. They have uncharacteristically re-released a watch: their Rolex Perpetual Padellone Annual Calendar. A reissue of their classic Reference 8171, in a bold move to hit the complicated dress watch space hard. Which raises the question... is Rolex Shame now over? Want to know what that is? Listen in and find out why the tables may have finally been turned! Plus, has the Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop hype finally died, or is it still uncontrollably raging on?

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk Gallet, annual calendars, Bioceramic pocket watches and THAT shame, with one of our favourite guests, and remember, wear your Rolex with pride!

Yes, the CP7 Boys are back again and this time fresh from Geneva Watch Days 2026 to kick off Season 3 of the Podcast!

But they are not alone as in this episode they speak to another Geneva watch show reveller in the form of Sam Michalski, the Marketing Manager for The Limited Edition. The three of them share their highlights and standout watches from the Swiss watch extravaganza, and also how an inadvertent meeting with Andersen Geneve turned out to be an unbelivable, once in a lifetime, experience for the podcast.

But Geneva Watch Days isn't the only big watch show out there, in London Town The Limited Edition is planning their Days Of Independents show for September 19th 2026, which is an inspired continuation of their hugely popular 10th Anniversary show from last year. Listen in as Sam shares why they just had to make this a regular event and continue to deliver independent watch brands at the show, to watch enthusiasts and collectors alike. No Omega, Rolex or Patek Philippe, but just unbelievable indie brands like Arnold & Son, Konstantin Chaykin and Laurent Ferrier, to name three, plus many more.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we go from watch shows in Geneva to London, making this a truly cosmopolitan episode!
