Today marks the 30th anniversary of the reinvention of A. Lange & Söhne, and the brand is celebrating with the release of four new Lange 1 references in two different configurations. Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to view the watches and sit with the German brand’s CEO, Wilhelm Schmid to discuss the current state of the brand, the anniversary, and the cars seen at Audrain Newport.

This week we’re thrilled to welcome former race car driver and current media personality Justin Bell to the podcast. Fair warning, this week’s episode features a lot of F1 and racing talk, with very little in the way about watches. Justin Bell is full of incredible stories after a life as a championship winning race car driver, including a class win at the 1998 24 hours of LeMans in the legendary Team ORECA Viper GTS-R. In this episode, we discuss the current F1 season, how things have gotten surprisingly competitive, and what to make of the blossoming rookie drivers leaving their mark on the season. We also chat about Justin’s racing career, including advice from his dad, racing at Le Mans, and more.

This week we welcome the founder of Studio Underd0g, Richard Benc to the podcast. Studio Underd0g is a relatively young brand which got its start just a few years ago, but has made a relatively large impact on the micro-brand space. The brand has been defined by their vibrant take on the hand wound chronograph, using colors inspired by fruits and other foods, as well as iconic sneakers. In this episode, we discuss the origins of the brands, those unique sources of inspiration, and of course, their latest collaboration with H. Moser. Richard is full of wonderful insights and has a very reasonable take on their decision to offer the collaboration watch as a pair.

Moser and Studio Underd0g, Doxa, Oris, Tudor, Bulgari, and many more.

This week we welcome Andrea Furlan to the podcast, the co-founder of Furlan Marri. This is a young brand that’s operating well beyond their years, and Andrea’s approach to presenting the brand and their designs is a big reason for that. In this episode, we discuss the origins of the brand, their approach to design, inspiration, and mechanics, and what’s on the horizon for their catalog. We also talk about their stunning Only Watch creation that will set the tone for an upcoming collection. Furlan Marri is working with some serious talent to develop their original ideas, which are closer than you might imagine.

This week we welcome the founder of Analog Shift, James Lamdin, to the podcast. We discuss the booming analog world, the current state of the collector and enthusiast space, and the automotive space for good measure. James is an avid collector with decades of experience around all manner of timepieces, but retains a deep love for a few niche areas that we get into in this chat. There's good stuff at both ends of the spectrum here, and we find space for all types of enthusiasts, both new and old.

This week we welcome Justin, aka The Wristorian to the podcast. Justin is an amateur sleuth helping tell the real world stories behind the known and unknown watches through history. The Wristorian Instagram account documents moments in history with archival photos and documentation placing certain watches on the wrists of often influential or important figures. This work brings a rich context to these watches (and their stories) that is often missing from popular culture, and serves to bring awareness to the underrepresented or unrecognized. In this discussion, we talk about the work that goes into his research, and how it has shifted his perspective on watch enthusiasm.

This week is a solo cast from Blake Buettner discussing some new changes to the YouTube channel, as well as a closer look at the new Bugatti Tourbillon (which is a car, not a watch). This car has many parallels with the watch world, and automotive journalist Henry Catchpole does an excellent job of highlighting this in a video for Hagerty, which you should watch right here. In this episode, we add some further context around the car from the perspective of the watch industry.

This week I’m thrilled to welcome Kenneth Lam of Arken Watches to the podcast. Ken is bringing his unique vision to life through Arken, a project that began as a quest to make the perfect personal watch which has blossomed into a now thriving young micro brand. In this discussion we talk about what it means to design a tool watch, where inspiration comes from, and how to create a distinctive look and feel without relying too heavily on the established ideas already out there. Ken offers his insight on the thought process behind this, and how the brand has come this far in such a short period of time.Show Notes:

This week I'm happy to welcome the CEO of Parmigiani Fleurier, Guido Terreni. Parmigiani is a brand that has released some of the most interesting watches in recent memory across their modern sport-chic Tonda collection, and most recently with the introduction of a new Toric (you can see my initial reaction to the Toric from Geneva right here). In this discussion, Guido shares insights to what it means to create a formal watch, and how Parmigiani thinks a bit differently about the genre as a whole. It's difficult to argue with the results, but his thinking certainly adds a level of depth to the overall approach taken.
