Today we talk about how as enthusiasts we often are judgmental not only about watches but also the intent behind the decisions that make them. Is it likely that watch designers just don't care about certain aspects of the watch design, or is it more likely that there are other priorities at play?

We are also borrowing three watches right now that we will talk about soon. Do you have questions about Serica watches or Atelier Wen watches that we can answer for you?

Last night we went to an event hosted by Grand Seiko and Nymans Ur at the National Museum in Stockholm. Lydia found herself actually interested in listening to talks about movements, something no one saw coming, and Vu got hands on with his dream watch.

Vu's Dream Watch: Grand Seiko SLGW003

Vu decides he needs to buy a new watch for a very specific and perhaps ridiculous reason. And ends up buying the King Seiko SPB281 because of it.

In today's episode we discuss the feeling we've heard from quite a few people that Tudor is all of a sudden everywhere. Is this true? And does it matter?

In today's episode we discuss Vu's week of borrowing and wearing a gold Rolex Submariner. Has he changed his mind about gold? Did it turn him into a "monster", as Lydia has suggested?

In this episode we share what we’ve been building to this week, inspired by episode 347 of the Worn & Wound podcast, each of our picks for a three watch collection under $10,000.
