Yes your favourite watch-related podcast is back after a short break!

This is a big one, it's our fiftieth show, half a century, the big 5-0, and we are celebrating with a good old CP7 challenge just like in the old days. As it's the 50th episode the challenge is to build a 5-watch collection with £50,000. Are we up to it? Can we stay within our budget or will we fail miserably?

The categories are Daily, Dress, Complication, Stealth Wealth and Bling. So listen in for some real watch fun with some serious watch choices.

Using Chrono24 the watch buying world is our oyster as we make our picks from any brand we like, which could be Rolex, Omega, IWC, JLC, Cartier, H Moser & Cie and Hermes.

We also have a special announcement to make about Watches & Wonders 2025 and the small matter of being invited onto the Scottish Watches Podcast to record an interview.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride for this very special fiftieth show!

Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast.

Have you ever considered giving up on the generic world of mainstream watches? Well, hold that thought! In this latest episode, our guest is a collector deeply immersed in the mysterious world of independent watches but still retains a love for the watches from where it all began.
Join us with Ollie Al-Falah, YouTube's "The Watch Collector", who loves a mainstream brand, but became so engrossed in the independent watch world that he ended up investing in the company he bought his first high horology independent watch from, UK-based The Limited Edition.
Find out how HYT was his gateway drug into this weird and wonderful rabbit hole and how he moved on from Casio, Omega, Rolex, (and Animal!) to Bulgari, Czapek and the incredible Laurent Ferrier, with its world-famous finishing.
This episode shows how these artisans of the watch world really do challenge the norm, awaken our inner risk-taker, and perhaps bring out the peacock in all of us (to an acceptable and tasteful degree of course!).

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we delve deep into the symbiotic coexistence of mainstream and independent watch brands.

Recorded at the tail end of 2024, the boys speak to none other than Sam Kessler, the editor of world-renowned watch magazine and online platform Oracle Time. Coming from a family involved in watch journalism and vintage watches Sam has a fascinating take on the current state of the watch world both vintage and modern.
We talk car and watch collaborations, why are vintage watches better looking than modern ones (or are they?), and some serious chronograph talk.
Don’t miss Sam’s favourite dress, dive and chronograph last year triggered by the Oracle Time Magazine Readers Awards from 2024. Speaking of which Sam offered a discount on an annual subscription so listen out for the discount code on the show.
The talk goes back and forth and back again on this one, so buckle up and enjoy the ride in the very enjoyable episode.
