This week, we have a fascinating chat with Adrian Buchmann, a veteran watch designer who’s spent the last few years playing a key role in Christopher Ward’s design department.

When it comes to Zach's in watch media, you could say we've saved the best till last. Zach Weiss is one of the co-founders of Worn & Wound, a watch news site which has been championing accessible watch enthusiasm since 2011.

Andy and Felix recently hopped on a plane to check out Franck Muller’s brand new Sydney boutique on Castlereagh Street, and found it just as full of curvy, colourful watches as you’d expect. While there they sat down with CEO Nicholas Rudaz

This week we’ve got something a bit different for you — a conversation with Parmigiani Fleurier, specifically Luca Castellani, Chief Commercial Officer and  Theodore Panos, the brand’s Managing Director for South East Asia and Australia.

This week, we continue our Zach-attack with Zach Kazan, the Managing Editor of Worn & Wound. We talk to Zach about some of the watches that have been getting his attention this year, and why American-made watches seem to be on the up.

This week, Andy and Felix catch up on a busy few weeks as well as some watch-shaped deliveries that have made their way to the OT office. But first, Felix (literally and figuratively) puts on his film reviewer hat to talk about the F1 movie, and the many IWCs that can be spotted in it.

Unlike the vast majority of people working in the “watch media’ today’s guest, Zach Piña, lives the daring life of adventure that you see in glossy watch advertisements. This is due to the fact that Zach is one of the people responsible for creating these advertisements. Before that, we talk about why the Baume & Mercier Clifton is one of the best watches of 2025, and some stylish new updates to the integrated Riviera.

One of the real surprises for us at Watches & Wonders was the Baume & Mercier. We’ll check out the solid updates to the Clifton collection this week, but today, we’ve got Andy chatting with Baume & Mercier CEO Michael Guenoun, a Richemont veteran who stepped into the role less than a year ago.

Christian Knoop is one of our favourite IWC people to speak to, and this week, we flashback to Geneva when Andy caught up with the talented Chief Design Officer to get the inside story on how the brand managed to sensitively add new sizes and complications — not to mention materials — to its popular Ingenieur while staying true to the values of the brand and the integrity of the watch.

Continuing our exploration of IWC’s 2025 collection this week, Felix chats to IWC Museum Curator David Seyffer, a walking encyclopaedia of IWC history, who gives us a lesson on some of the lesser-known Ingenieur models which provide a precedent for the new materials and complications added to the collection this year.

Pierre Rainero is one of OT:’s favourite repeat guests. Rainero is Cartier’s Image, Style & Heritage Director, and we couldn’t think of a more perfect person for the role. We took the opportunity to dig into the details of the 2025 collection with Pierre in Geneva, and his insights into the Tank à Guichets and what is involved in scaling up the Tank Louis Cartier cannot be missed. 

This week, Andy sits down with IWC CEO (and OT: regular) Chris Grainger for a chat about what IWC is up to in 2025. From in-depth discussion of the latest novelties and the rationale behind IWC’s Hollywood placement strategy, this is a chat that you don’t want to miss. We even find out how Brad Pitt’s custom Ingenieur ended up becoming a reality.

In what we promise is our last formal ‘Watches & Wonders 2025’ episode, we cover some of the big players that needed some more chat, namely Rolex and Tudor — as well as a bit more love for Cartier’s Tank à Guichets. Andy runs through his picks of Rolex (including his only gripe with the Land-Dweller), and Felix opts for a surprise favourite from Tudor. Oh, and a little bit of macroeconomic tariff chat.

If you’re of a certain age, you’ll likely know who Fred Savage is, thanks to his roles in The Wonder Years and The Princess Bride. But for watch fans, he’s famous for another onscreen role — Hodinkee’s Talking Watches, which he appeared in in 2018. We caught up with Savage to see what he’s been up to since, and it turns out — quite a lot.

Recorded on (almost) the last day of Watches & Wonders, Andy and Felix brave fatigue to discuss the overall mood and vibe of the fair, as well as dig into some specific highlights and surprise releases, from a technical Rolex to a cheeky Hermès. Plus, a timely reminder that it’s not about the watches, but rather the friends we made along the way. 

There’s a handful of brands that people clamour to see as soon as the curtain is lifted on Watches & Wonders, and Cartier is most definitely one of those brands. We recorded this episode inside the Cartier booth on the first day of the fair, after getting up close and personal with all the key releases

Yes, we had to do it. Hopped up on rumour and speculation, Andy and Felix dive into the exciting world of baseless watch predictions and shamelessly speculate on what Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier and their pals are going to unveil in Geneva in just a few day's time. On top of that, we ponder the meta trends that we're going to see emerge in the industry, including "less value for the same money" and "more restraint with flashes of insanity".

Everyone’s favourite Chicago-based watch newsletter publisher is back for his second (or third?) chat with OT:, and as is now customary, we’ve caught at something of an interstitial moment. Traina left Hodinkee late last year and has dived head first into his newsletter, Unpolished (née Rescapement).

Arken Watch Company was born (like so many creative projects), in the middle of a lockdown. Kenneth Lam, always interested in modding Seiko’s and the like, decided to design his own watch.

This week we’ve got the final file from Felix’s Hong Kong adventure, and we’ve undoubtedly saved the best til last. Zoë Abelson, better known on Instagram as @watchgirloffduty has built a life and a career hunting down rare timepieces.
