Ross Povey might be known as Tudorcollector on Instagram, but he’s also an expert in rare, exotic and gem-set Rolex watches, which is why he’s the perfect person to talk to about the Crown's interesting moves, like the recent release of the Perpetual Padellone, Drake’s custom piece and the remarkable ‘Four Seasons’ auction of four unique, gem-set Daytonas.

When we first spoke to Sylvain Berneron back in 2023, his eponymous brand was a side hustle, and he hadn’t formally launched a watch. Fast forward to today and the situation is a little bit different. Berneron is one of the hottest brands in the world, as some recent astronomical sales results have demonstrated. Sylvain doesn’t shy away from the realities and challenges of growing so fast, from resisting outside investment to managing the tricky task of allocating some of the hottest watches in the world. We also get some sneaky insights into Berneron’s third collection, the Fiasco.

Today's guest, Matt Oosthuizen, is one of the co-founders of Apiar, a UK-based watch brand that's the result of a passion, not just for watches, but for experimenting with new technologies. Apiar, which debuted in 2023, is literally built different. Rather than following the traditional path, Apiar leans into additive manufacturing. With cases and dials printed used the 3D technology, Apiar makes designs which could not be achieved through traditional methods, and as Oosthuizen notes, its a constantly evolving process, both as Apiar grows and the technology itself develops. Beyond the innovation, Apier strives to use UK-based suppliers, resulting in watches quite unlike anything else out there.

Since its founding in 2020, Geneva Watch Days has evolved from a tight exhibition of seven brands to a major show with more than 70 watchmakers, making it the biggest and most important Swiss show after Watches & Wonders. This week Andy and Felix go through some of the highlights. From favourites like the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Dual Time x Vianney Halter and the Ming 57.05 Comet through to a few surprises, and one or two head-scratchers, the overall slate of releases was solid. And of course, it wouldn’t be a major watch fair if a few brands didn’t capitalise on the heat by jumping on the release schedule (we’re looking at you, Tudor).

Earlier this year, news dropped that Australia was getting its very own local version of Hodinkee, proving (among other things) the strength of the local watch scene. A few months on, and the first issue of the Hodinkee Australia magazine has dropped, and it felt like the perfect time to chat to founding editor (and professional yapper), Jamie Weiss.

This wee we have Robin Tallendier, the charming co-founder of Atelier Wen back on, and this time he’s talking about the evolution of the brand’s offering and ethos. Something embodied in the very impressive new Perception V3. Before that, Andy does some watch spotting, and Felix talks about Seiko and Blancpain.

After a little bit of a break, Andy and Felix are back, and the first topic of discussion is Andy’s surprisingly watch-filled trip to Japan. They chat about Zenith and Naoya Hida, Kurano Tokyo, Kuoe Kyoto, the vintage scene and more. Felix fills Andy in on what he missed, namely the NGV’s Cartier exhibition premiere.

This week, Andy chats to Karl-Fritz Scheufele, Chief of Staff – Craft, Digital & Experience, who also happens to be a third-generation member of the family that owns and manages Chopard. Karl-Fritz talks us through Chopard’s watchmaking history, including 30 years of the ‘brand within a brand’, L.U.C Chopard, as well as his role in bringing the popular Alpine Eagle to life.

This week, we continue our exploration of watches in space with VAST Lead Astronaut Drew Feustel, a NASA veteran with 225 days in space, who has moved to the private sector to build the future of space habitation with VAST.

This week, we continue to explore IWC’s latest, with Felix taking a trip to space with VAST’s Chief Design and Marketing Officer, Hillary Coe. From the importance of imagination to the nitty-gritty of human-centric design, Hillary explains why storytelling matters so much in space.

One of the OT: fixtures of Watches & Wonders is Andy’s annual chat with Chris Grainger, who some claim is the most charming watch brand CEO. The 2026 instalment didn’t disappoint.

Now that Andy and Felix are back from their continental jaunt, it’s time to return to England with this week’s guest, the charming and learned Tom Chamberlin. Chamberlin has made his name as the editor-in-chief of the influential style bible, The Rake, and more recently as the host of The Luxury Dispatch, a podcast dedicated to the refined and rare.

From the shores of Lake Geneva, Andy and Felix give their thoughts on all the highlights of Watches & Wonders 2026. From A. Lange & Söhne to Zenith and everything in between, we chat about why space is cool, and what it feels like to bicep curl 8kg of ethical gold, as well as why the subdial placement on the Santos de Cartier Chronograph is so good.

Recorded live and fresh from Geneva, we're taking a look at Cartier's new releases for 2026. After a decade in the archives, Cartier has officially resurrected the Roadster, and we have thoughts. In this episode, we’re breaking down the entire Cartier 2026 lineup - from the Y2K nostalgia of the new Roadster Collection to the "liquid gold" engineering of the Santos-Dumont mesh bracelet.

Today we’re joined by Andy Berke, the man behind Andy’s Watches, famous for rating watch collections without permission. Having said that, he’s even more famous for his internet friendship with the one and only Russell Crowe —in fact, we think it’s fair to say that Andy can take the credit for Rusty’s ‘secret’ TikTok pivoting to full-on watch content, something which we’re all eternally grateful for.  Andy tells us the full Russell Crowe watch saga.

This week, we have a very special offsite broadcast from the home of German watchmaking in Sydney — the brand new A. Lange & Söhne boutique at 129 King Street. After touring the spacious three-story boutique, Andy and Felix sit down to talk about all things A. Lange & Söhne, from the brand’s storied history to its second start in the 1990s, as well as some of the watches that have earned it ‘Holy Trinity’ status with so many watch lovers.

Felix’s final interview from Dubai is the incomparable Xavier de Roquemaurel, the charming CEO of Czapek & Cie. Xavier was instrumental in reviving the heritage name 10 years ago, and turning it into the critically acclaimed brand it is today. Before that, we talk about Russell Crowe’s secret watch TikTok.

Ming Thien, co-founder of the boundary-pushing Ming Watches, is always full of surprises, and this conversation, recorded at Dubai Watch Week, is no exception. We talk about the incredible titanium Polymesh bracelet, how Ming is adapting to being part of the ‘old guard’ of indies, and how to overcome imposter syndrome.

We’re back with our first proper episode of 2026, and this one has it all! Felix debriefs on his trip to Hong Kong, where he got a sneak peek of Van Cleef & Arpels’ impressive Poetry of Time exhibition, followed by a chat about the latest and greatest watch releases from LVMH Watch Week. Then it’s time for our chat with the charming Robin Tallendier, co-founder of Atelier Wen, from when Felix caught up with him at Dubai Watch Week.

With help from the OT time machine we turn back the clocks to late 2025, where Felix caught up with Havid Nagan, founder Aren Bazerkanian in Dubai. Thanks to the awesome power of the sun, causing the camera to overheat, this chat is a little shorter than usual. Still, Aren gave Felix an update on how Havid Nagan has been growing, and teased some plans for Origins, a more accessible offering from the US-based independent.
