Spending Time

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, and David sit down to discuss some of the latest news stories and noteworthy new releases from this week in the world of watches. The trio kicks off the show with a quick discussion about receiving watches in the mail that you completely forgot that you purchased, along with a brief chat about the longest amount of time that any of them have had to wait in order to receive a watch, and how they cope with that anticipation. From there, the conversation then pivots to Hublot and the brand’s rather obvious yet unconventional decision to sponsor the world of soccer, followed by a deep dive into whether or not all watches should be available in multiple different case sizes, so that we can finally put an end to the whole “best watch size” debate.To kick off the discussion about this week’s new releases, the group first talks about the new Shinola and Lincoln Runwell models within the greater context of watch and car collaboration pieces, while Ariel briefly prov

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, and David come together to talk about some of the latest new releases and trending stories from the world of watches. To kick off the show, the trio dives deep into a conversation about Instagram and the greater impact that it has had on watch collecting. The group unanimously acknowledges how it has brought a lot of people together and introduced countless new individuals to the hobby. However, given how ever-changing algorithms are continuously getting in the way of people actually seeing the content they want, the trio then attempts to answer the question as to whether or not Instagram is actually ruining watch collecting for everyone and how the online community can exist without it.After thoroughly unpacking the issues with Instagram and proposing a few alternate solutions, the conversation then shifts to some of the latest new watch releases and reviews to hit the site this past week. Up first is the Tag Heuer Carrera Red Dial Limited Edition within t

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick and Ariel sit down to talk about some of the latest news stories and releases from the world of watches. The duo kick off the show by talking about how Ariel severely needs an assistant before briefly touching on whether or not the GPHG awards actually mean anything and whether or not Tudor is pushing the boundaries enough with its watch designs given the recent release of the Ranger. From there, the pair dives into talking about Rolex’s brand-new factory, its plans to increase production by 30%, and whether or not this actually means that people will finally start being able to buy the watches that they want from authorized retailers and boutiques.While there is no surprise guest on this week’s episode, there are plenty of new reviews and watch releases, and Rick and Ariel kick off the roundup by talking about the Formex Reef GMT and Ariel’s hands-on review of the Raymond Weil Freelancer Chronograph 7780 within the context of the new model the brand will be design

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, Rick, and David are joined by guest host George Bamford, founder of Bamford Watch Department. The group starts the show by talking about which boutique employees have it the hardest these days between Rolex, Swatch — and now G-Shock after rowdy crowds at George’s own Bamford x G-Shock launch caused the event to get shut down by local authorities. From there, they pivot to talking about the possible long-term implications of the MoonSwatch on the public’s perception of the Omega Speedmaster before trying to figure out if the Bioceramic used in its construction is up to the task of frequent, long-term use and if should even be called a ceramic at all.After briefly talking about the continuing equalization of prices on the secondary market, the group switches focus to discussing this week's new watch releases and latest reviews on aBlogtoWatch.com, including David’s analysis of the M.A.D. 1 RED, the new Shinola Mackinac Yacht Watch, and the Maurice Lacroix Aikon #ti

Rob offers his insights on everything from whether or not we are actually seeing an increase in the global supply of Rolex watches, to the greater state of the watch industry as a whole, and which brands are most likely to be impacted by changes in the supply of ‘unicorn models’ that have historically been unavailable at a retail level.In addition to talking about their predictions regarding the future supply of Rolex watches and how liquidity differs between luxury timepieces and the stock market, the trio also go over some of the latest new watch releases that span everything fro
