    Episode 85: Hot Takes & Resolutions

    Are regulator dials ugly? Are Lange a credible threat to Patek’s repeaters? What’s the ideal Bond Villain watch? Why do so many watch professionals seem like they don’t even like watches? Erik & Max put out a call to you for your hot takes and controversial opinions. Some were lukewarm, but many were truly controversial and made for excellent discussion. If hot takes aren’t to your taste, this episode concludes with resolutions in watches for the new year.  Links Mentioned: Roman Numerals Discussed: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/19019-rolex-oysterquartz-day-date-1 https://www.phillips.com/detail/patek-philippe/HK080423/880 https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/brown-guilloche-dial-voutilainen-observatoire-1 5374: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/5374p-patek-philippe-minute-repeater-perpetual-calendar RD2: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/audemars-piguet-rd2-royal-oak-perpetual-calendar-ultra-thin-hands-on 5327G: https://www.patek.com/en/collection/grand-complications/5327g-001 90s IWC: https://www.unpolishedwatches.com/p/heres-why-im-so-into-90s-iwc-right  History of the Calatrava: https://monochrome-watches.com/history-of-the-patek-philippe-calatrava-part-1-reference-96/ Regulator Dial: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/laurent-ferrier-micro-rotor-regulateur-ecole 70s Longines: https://www.fratellowatches.com/buying-guide-the-best-longines-watches-from-the-1970s/ 13ZN: https://www.acollectedman.com/blogs/journal/longines-13zn-still-collectible 116500: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/rolex-daytona-ref-116500ln-review Only Wrist: https://hairspring.com/collections/exclusives/products/ur-210s-full-metal-jacket-steel-titanium https://langepedia.com/a-lange-sohne-tourbillon-pour-le-merite/ https://www.hytwatches.com

    Episode 84: A Year in Auctions, with a Market Update

    The year of 2026 is upon us, but it’s worth pausing to look at some of the great and atrocious things which sold. This episode covers a state of the market through a review of the entire year at auctions, noting specific examples. Erik & Max discuss watches that they wish they’d had the funds to buy, opportunities missed, problem watches/things they’d stay away from, value buys, unreasonable results, and our wildcards. Plus, an Only Wrist for the most significant chronographs of all time.  Links Mentioned: Watches We Wish We’d Had the Funds to Buy: https://www.phillips.com/detail/heuer/191665 https://www.phillips.com/detail/philippe-dufour/226566 https://www.phillips.com/detail/rolex/224005 https://www.monacolegendauctions.com/auction/exclusive-timepieces-38/lot-67 https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/important-watches-2/reference-6538-submariner-big-crown-james-bond-a https://www.phillips.com/detail/voutilainen/223968 https://www.alange-soehne.com/us-en/timepieces/lange-1/little-lange-1/little-lange-1-in-750-white-gold-181-038 https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/important-watches-3/reference-2438-1-a-yellow-gold-perpetual-calendar Opportunities We Missed: https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6534101 https://www.phillips.com/detail/piaget/224987 https://www.monacolegendauctions.com/auction/exclusive-timepieces-38/lot-70 https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6534094 https://www.phillips.com/detail/patek-philippe/216658 https://www.phillips.com/detail/audemars-piguet/213832 https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/important-watches-2/reference-ba-145-022-69-speedmaster-gus-grissom-a Problem Watches: https://www.phillips.com/detail/rolex/216213 https://www.monacolegendauctions.com/auction/exclusive-timepieces-36/lot-25 https://www.phillips.com/detail/audemars-piguet/216432 https://www.monacolegendauctions.com/auction/exclusive-timepieces-38/lot-48 https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6558481 https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6567932 https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/important-watches-part-i-ge2501/reference-6034-a-pink-gold-chronograph-wristwatch https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6567913 https://www.phillips.com/detail/jaeger-le-coultre/225242 Values: https://www.phillips.com/detail/vacheron-constantin/223633 https://www.monacolegendauctions.com/auction/exclusive-timepieces-38/lot-7 https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/fine-watches-6/reference-3147-carrera-dato-45-a-stainless-steel https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/important-watches-2/reference-404-032-saxonia-double-split-a-pink-gold https://www.phillips.com/detail/breguet/210819 Unreasonable Numbers: https://www.phillips.com/detail/patek-philippe/224435 https://hairspring.com/products/3941j-perpetual-calendar-dore-dial-early-second-series-yellow-gold https://www.phillips.com/detail/patek-philippe/224804 https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/important-watches-2/octa-chronograph-ruthenium-a-limited-edition Wildcard: https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/important-watches-3/reference-3945-dore-a-yellow-gold-perpetual https://www.monacolegendauctions.com/auction/exclusive-timepieces-36/lot-237 https://flightbirds.net/publio-magini-the-sistema-magini/ (History of the Magini Trip) https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/important-watches-2/reference-6100-dragon-an-exquisite-and-rare-yellow Only Wrist: https://hairspring.com/collections/exclusives/products/5970r-patek-philippe-perpetual-calendar-chronograph-pink-gold https://hairspring.com/collections/exclusives/products/2915-2-omega-speedmaster-steel https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/saatchi-5070p-patek-philippe-chronograph

    Episode 82: Q&A (Pt. 7)

    Erik & Max are back to answer your wide-ranging questions in the seventh installment of what is becoming a cornerstone of the podcast. Questions range from a new ‘holy trinity’ we’d select, what neo-vintage references collectors should be paying attention to yet aren’t, Langes on a budget, best Blümlein IWCs, our favored Cartier shapes, and far more.  Links Mentioned: Hajime Asaoka: https://www.phillips.com/detail/hajime-asaoka/194815 Atelier Du Chronometrie: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/just-because-atelier-de-chronometrie-adc17 Yosuke Sekiguchi: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/yosuke-sekiguchi-primvere Frodsham: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/charles-frodsham-double-impulse-chronometer-2 Smith: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/open-dial-roger-w-smith-series-2 Stephen McDonnell’s Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1xQWripjPI 130: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/tiffany-dial-patek-philippe-130-chronograph Dato QP: https://langepedia.com/a-lange-sohne-datograph-guide/datograph-perpetual/ Dato QP Tourbillon: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/740-036-a-lange-sohne-datograph-perpetual-tourbillon 5960: https://watchesbysjx.com/2014/12/up-close-with-the-patek-philippe-ref-59601a-chronograph-annual-calendar-in-steel.html 25668PT: https://hairspring.com/products/25668pt-perpetual-calendar-skeleton-platinum 43032: https://hairspring.com/products/43032-perpetual-calendar-skeleton-platinum 25636 RO: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/25636ba-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-perpetual-calendar-skeleton 25657 MoP: https://hairspring.com/products/25657or-quantieme-perpetuel-mother-of-pearl-dial-pink-gold Mercator: https://www.phillips.com/article/135703213/vacheron-constantin-mercator-history-guide 25881: https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2024/fine-watches-7/repetition-minutes-john-schaeffer-reference-25881 47100: https://hairspring.com/products/47100-chronograph-skeleton-platinum 14802ST: https://apchronicles.audemarspiguet.com/en/model/14802-royal-oak-jubilee Engraved Enamel Primer (We’ll Try To Do One Soon): https://www.unpolishedwatches.com/p/engraved-enamel-why-some-dials-never 2526 Dial Manufacture: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/patek-philippe-2526-enamel-dial-donze-cadrans Budget Lange: https://mrwatchley.com/products/a-lange-sohne-saxonia-yellow-gold-102-001 1815 Up/Down (Gangreserve, not Gangenreserve, Erik Misspoke): https://hairspring.com/products/221-027-1815-up-down-first-generation-white-gold Just The Greatest Annual Calendar: https://hairspring.com/products/330-039-saxonia-annual-calendar-u-s-boutique-white-gold 4-Digit to Swim: https://hairspring.com/products/5512-submariner-gilt-dial-steel Blumlein IWC: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/bundeswehr-3501-iwc-porsche-design-ocean-2000 https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/3508-iwc-ingenieur-500k-a-m https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/5240-iwc-portuguese-minute-repeater GPHG: https://hairspring.com/blogs/journal/how-fair-is-the-gphg-a-closer-look-at-the-oscars-of-watchmaking Font: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/highly-tropical-longines-legend-diver-7150 https://hairspring.com/products/3970ep-second-series-perpetual-calendar-chronograph-platinum_42658 Parmigiani 2840: https://hairspring.com/products/2840-toric-tourbillon-platinum 3670A: https://www.phillips.com/detail/patek-philippe/209429 3651J: https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6235789 Voutilainen Zenith: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/zenith-x-voutilainen-x-phillips-calibre-135-o Cartier: https://www.phillips.com/detail/cartier/207628 https://hairspring.com/collections/exclusives/products/tortue-monopoussoir-prive-platinum https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/2610e-cartier-cpcp-tortue-minute-repeater Only Wrist: https://collectability.com/learn/collectability-in-depth-patek-philippe-perpetual-calendar-ref-3940/ https://apchronicles.audemarspiguet.com/en/model/royal-oak-25686

    Episode 81: The Patek Philippe ‘Pure’ Perpetual Calendar (Beginnings until 3940)

    A monumental occasion, this episode covers a complete chronology of the Patek Philippe ‘pure’ perpetual calendar. Arguably, the QP was the complication that built the Patek Philippe name more than any other through the mid-century. Yet, the main bloodline of QP has many nuances that aren’t often covered. This episode highlights all the main references you might expect and their significant points such as 1526, 2497/2438, 3448, and 3450. But if you’ve ever wondered about the 96 QP, 1527, 1591, 3449, or any of the oddball piece uniques, they’re all in here too. We couldn’t wait for leap year to release this, hopefully you’ll forgive us. 3940 and on will be in an upcoming part two.  Links Mentioned: Thomas Mudge Perpetual Calendar: https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2016/john-harrison-enduring-discovery-l16055/lot.28.html 97975: https://revolutionwatch.com/1925-patek-97975-the-worlds-first-perpetual-calendar-wristwatch/ 96 QP: https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/patek-philippe-ref-ref-96-lot-31-79 Imperial 96 Calendar: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a-rare-complicated-patek-calatrava-you-might-not-have-known-about-is-coming-up-for-auction 1526: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/casa-masson-dial-1526-patek-philippe-perpetual-calendar-pink-gold Coca Cola Watch: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-patek-philippe-owned-by-the-founder-of-coca-cola-and-other-ultra-cool-pateks-now-on-exhibit-at-t Briggs Cunningham Steel: https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5065258 Magnifying Glass: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/casa-masson-dial-1526-patek-philippe-perpetual-calendar-pink-gold Casemaker Keys: https://collectability.com/learn/the-key-to-master-case-makers-for-patek-philippe/ 1527: https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5309213 https://www.ablogtowatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Patek-Philippe-Rare-1527-Perpetual-Calendar-18k-Rose-Gold.jpg 1591: https://le-monde-edmond.com/patek-1591-first-waterproof-perpetual-calendar/ https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-patek-philippe-an-extremely-important-and-unique-4982796/? 2497 & 2438: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/in-depth-patek-philippe-reference-2497-part-1 https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/in-depth-patek-philippe-reference-2497-part-2 2438: https://www.phillips.com/detail/patek-philippe/91327 3449: https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5493418 3448: https://revolutionwatch.com/padellone-patek-philippes-most-elegant-perpetual-calendar-the-3448/ Senza Luna: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/patek-philippe-reference-3448-senza-luna-in-depth Unique 3448: https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2008/important-watches-ge0804/lot.214.html 3450: https://www.phillips.com/detail/patek-philippe/180883 Only Watch: 570G: https://hairspring.com/products/570g-calatrava-white-gold 565 Crown: https://www.phillips.com/detail/patek-philippe/213980 2526: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/first-series-2526-patek-philippe-calatrava 5040: https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/5040p-patek-philippe-perpetual-calendar

    Episode 80: Tom Segura

    Master comedian and legendary podcaster Tom Segura joins Erik & Max for a hilarious conversation on his love of watches and collecting. Tom’s enthusiasm ranges from FP Journe to 6263 Daytona, with more than his fair share of AD experiences on tour. Today we ask who was the most obnoxious sales staff he’s encountered yet, where his love of Lange came from, views on collecting philosophy, and what watches should be paired with various vehicles Tom has loved or hated. Plus, the 3 guest questions you all tune in for. This was a blast to record, a special thanks to Tom & crew.

    Episode 79: 5 Watches from the Last 5 Years That Will Age Like Wine & 5 Watches from the Last 5 Years That Will Age Like Milk

    This is a simple concept, but what’s recent that holds a fair shot of standing the test of time? And what are the absolute dogs that should be avoided? Both categories are addressed no holds barred, a fairly random smattering of watches that may be future classics, and just as many that, well, we’d best avoid. And yes, we’re probably wrong.  Links Mentioned: Berneron: https://hairspring.com/collections/exclusives/products/mirage-38-sienna-yellow-gold Limited Odysseus Refs: Titanium: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/lange-odysseus-titanium-review-2022 Odysseus Chronograph: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-a-lange-and-sohne-odysseus-chrongraph Odysseus Honeygold: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-a-lange-and-sohne-odysseus-in-so-much-honeygold Chopard LUC Quattro Mark IV: https://monochrome-watches.com/first-look-chopard-l-u-c-luc-quattro-mark-iv-mkiv-ice-blue-platinum-micro-rotor-qualite-fleurier-specs-price-live-pics/ 1860 (Tangentially Discussed): https://hairspring.com/collections/exclusives/products/luc-1860-steel 6196P: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-patek-philippe-6196p-the-best-calatrava-in-a-generation Simon Brette: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/hands-on-simon-brette-chronometre-aristans-rose RRCC2: https://www.acollectedman.com/pages/rexhep-rexhepi-chronometre-contemporain-two With Gems: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/introducing-rexhep-rexhepi-cc2-ruby Sequential Chronograph: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/introducing-mbf-lm-sequential-flyback 2941: https://watchesbysjx.com/2023/07/petermann-bedat-reference-2941-split-seconds-chronograph-review.html JLC Reverso Tribute: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-jaeger-lecoultre-reverso-tribute-chronograph-2 Tamara Ralph: https://revolutionwatch.com/audemars-piguet-royal-oak-concept-flying-tourbillon-tamara-ralph/ Aquanaut Annual: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/three-new-patek-philippe-aquanauts-including-a-flyback-chronograph-and-aquanaut-luce-both-in-rose-go FP Journe Quantième Perpétuel: https://www.europeanwatch.com/blog/f-p-journe-quantieme-perpetuel-boutique-edition-review Lange Repeater QP: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-a-lange-and-sohne-minute-repeater-perpetual-live-pictures-thoughts-and-comparisons Calatrava Pilots: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/patek-philippe-5524g-calatrava-pilot-travel-time https://www.patek.com/en/collection/grand-complications/5520rg-001 https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-patek-philippe-5522a-limited-edition-pilots-calatrava NSO: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/breaking-news-cartier-nso-program Land-Dweller: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/hands-on-rolex-land-dweller Glassbox Carrera: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-tag-heuer-carrera-glassbox-39mm-its-time-to-care-about-the-carrera-again Only Wrist: https://www.onthedash.com/chronograph/autavia-1163t-siffert-chronomatic/ https://hairspring.com/blogs/finds/5040g-patek-philippe-perpetual-calendar

    Episode 78: The Second-Greatest Rolexes to Ever Auction

    We all know Paul Newman’s Paul Newman, but what was the second most valuable watch at that auction? This week, Erik & Max ask that question, as well as investigating some of the other incredible Rolexes which have hammered that aren’t super-famous, but are super-intriguing. From nicknames like ‘The Sock’ to a Sub-Day-Date hybrid or false McQueen provenance, this week is all those small stories that are easily missed.  Links Mentioned: Petermann Bedat: https://www.acollectedman.com/products/petermann-bedat-1825-rose-gold Peter Elliot Glomb: https://www.instagram.com/peterelliotglomb/ 6241 Original Owner: https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2023/important-watches-2/reference-6241-daytona-paul-newman-john-player ‘Dark Star’ / ‘The Sock’ 6062: https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-rolex-an-extremely-fine-rare-and-attractive-6185890/ https://le-monde-edmond.com/rolex-6062-how-to-spot-a-service-dial/ 4113 (44mm, Misspoke): https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5674583 UG A.
