In this episode we discuss Tudor's 100 year anniversary and what that might mean for their releases this year.

2025 marked some real changes for both of us in terms of our collections... with Lydia taking a more measured approach than previous years and Vu going wild. Perhaps for the household this is a good strategy, to take turns?

We discuss which watches we bought and why, and what was different about 2025 and what that might mean for the future of our collections.

Believe it or not, 2026 is here! In this episode we go over some of our predictions for the year, talk about some things we are hoping to see, and speculate a bit about this year in watches.

In this episode we dive into the wonderful world of bird watching as it relates to watch collecting. It turns out many hobbies and passions share so many similarities in the way people enjoy them, in the communities surrounding them, and even sometimes in the downsides to them.

It's been a long time since our last Q&A, and we got some great questions from you all! We discuss how a brand's watch photography can be misleading, what we'd do if we were put in charge at Rolex, a This Watch Life collab watch, who we will leave our watches to since we don't have kids, what to do with a wedding watch after divorce, and more!

In this episode we go through our choices for the five watches we would each keep from our existing collections if we had to just own 5, and couldn't buy any more, EVER. Essentially building our forever collections.

This was inspired by the #fivewatchcollection Instagram community hashtag started by Nacho and Morgan.

Yes, Vu has another NWA but this time it's totally not his fault. We also talk about his new camera, the Sigma bf, and our recent trip to Glashütte for the weekend and extra tour of the NOMOS manufacture.

Mentioned in the episode:

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms in 38mm

Sigma bf

NOMOS Club Campus 36 Future Orange
