    The Omega 007 First Light: A Tailor’s Honest Take on the Bond Watch That Came From a Video Game

    Somebody just paid the best part of eight grand for a James Bond watch that was designed for a video game before it was ever designed for a human wrist. And I’m genuinely tempted to be one of those somebodies. In this episode I read you my full, honest write-up of Omega’s new Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light”, the first-ever James Bond chronograph, and give you a take you won’t get from any of the watch blogs, because I’m a tailor before I’m a watch person, and a lot of my clients are serious watch enthusiasts. I get into: •Why there’s a Bond watch coming from a video game and not a film, and why that’s cleverer than it sounds •The full specs, and why that 17.2mm thickness is the most controversial thing about it •Where it sits among the great Bond Omegas, from my own Casino Royale to the SPECTRE •The catch nobody mentions: it’s not a limited edition •The tailor’s angle: why this watch will not sit under a proper shirt cuff, and why that’s actually perfect for the story it’s telling •Whether it’s a future classic or a future footnote, and whether you should buy one Read the full written article on the blog, inked below. Got an opinion on the watch, the game, or whether Bond and gaming should mix?

    WWDC26 Preview: iPhone Air, Siri, AI and Ferrari Luce

    Bobby and Jon are back with a pre-WWDC catch-up recorded the day before Apple’s 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference. The episode begins with Bobby calling Jon from his new iPhone Air, having just switched away from the iPhone 17 Pro Max. That leads into a wider conversation about why “less is more” might be exactly what Apple needs right now, whether the iPhone Air is the perfect antidote to oversized phones and why the Apple ecosystem has started to feel more complicated than it used to. From there, Bobby and Jon preview WWDC26, looking at what Apple may announce across iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, Vision OS, Siri and Apple Intelligence. They discuss whether Siri can finally become genuinely useful, whether Apple’s cautious approach to AI is actually a strength and why the company needs to balance intelligence, privacy, safety and simplicity. The conversation also takes a more serious turn into AI trust, generative AI, chatbot dependency, Silicon Valley’s disconnect from the real world and the dangers of releasing powerful technology before it’s properly ready. Then the episode swerves into motoring, with Bobby and Jon debating the new Ferrari Luce, its controversial design, whether it really feels like a Ferrari and whether Jony Ive’s involvement makes the whole thing more interesting. Jon also confirms he has ordered the Kia EV3 and gives an update on the long-running Nissan saga. Also covered: Apple TV, CarPlay, Vision Pro, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods, proper cameras, camping gear and why watching an Apple keynote with a beer and Notes app open is apparently a perfectly normal hobby.

    May 31

    007 First Light, the Bond Seamaster & the Screen-Fatigue Watch Debate

    No Bond film in cinemas? No problem. Roberto and Jon get their first taste of 007 First Light, and discover the game comes with a brand-new Omega Seamaster that has every Bond fan reaching for their wallet. In this candid, unscripted episode, the pair wander from an unexpected burst of AI enthusiasm to the new Bond origin game, the watch debate it has triggered, and a genuinely thoughtful conversation about screen fatigue and stripping life back to basics. Along the way: the audio show officially hits its monetisation threshold (thank you, listeners), what really makes Bond a hero, and whether Roberto should finally retire his Apple Watch in favour of the Seamaster he worked years to earn.

    The £8k Omega & the Bond Game | 007 First Light

    The postman finally turns up, Roberto rips open the package convinced it's the new 007 First Light game... and it's a sample of curtain track. From there it only gets better. This is a totally candid, unfiltered weekend catch-up between Roberto and his Tailoring Talk Magazine co-host Jon Evans, recorded in one take, warts and all. Jon's been playing IO Interactive's new James Bond game 007 First Light for three days. Roberto's still waiting for his copy. So instead they get stuck into the thing that's actually turned Roberto's head: the watch. Omega has released the first-ever James Bond chronograph, the Seamaster Diver 300M "007 First Light", a real watch you can buy for just shy of £8,000, designed from the ground up for the game. In this bonus episode the two of them get into: Why a Bond watch is coming from a video game and not a filmHow the watch works as an actual gadget inside the game, and the Q Branch scene where you choose your ownWhether it's a cynical cash grab or a genuinely clever bit of Omega marketingThe big problem: it's NOT a limited edition, unlike Roberto's Casino Royale (1 of 10,007) and the SPECTRE (1 of 7,007)Whether it'll still become a collector's piece, and Jon's bold claim that the game itself belongs in the Bond canon alongside the filmsRoberto's "biggish birthday" and the portrait in the attic Roberto's full written review and the companion YouTube video will go deeper on the specs, the heritage, and whether it's a future classic.

  5. WWDC26: Apple’s AI Reckoning

    May 29

    WWDC26: Apple’s AI Reckoning

    Jon Evans takes the mic for a solo Tailoring Talk Magazine tech episode, looking ahead to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026 and asking the big question: can Apple finally make Siri matter again? WWDC26 may not be about a shiny new Mac, headset or surprise hardware reveal. This year, the real story could be much bigger: whether Apple can turn Apple Intelligence into something people actually use every day. Jon breaks down the rumours around iOS 27, macOS 27, Watch OS 27, Vision OS 27 and the future of Siri, including reports of a dedicated Siri app, chat-style conversations, searchable history, favourites, Dynamic Island integration and a darker visual redesign. There’s also discussion of whether Apple could allow users to choose third-party AI services such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini as defaults for certain Apple Intelligence features, and why that would mark a fascinating shift for a company built around vertical integration. The episode also looks at Apple’s wider AI challenge. Apple has the hardware, software, chips, privacy story and ecosystem advantage, but Siri has spent years feeling behind the competition. If Apple can make Siri genuinely conversational, context-aware and useful across apps, Apple Intelligence suddenly starts to make sense. If not, WWDC26 could feel like another “wait until next year” moment. Also covered: iOS 27 refinements, Genmoji, Image Playground, AirPods settings, Google Cast in the EU, macOS productivity potential, Apple Watch health features, Vision Pro, Apple TV, the smart home and why new hardware may be minimal or absent at this year’s keynote. In this episode, Jon covers: Apple WWDC26 and what to expect from the keynote Why Siri may be the biggest story this year Rumoured iOS 27 features and refinements Apple Intelligence and third-party AI model choice ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Apple’s AI position macOS 27 and why AI may matter more on the Mac Watch OS 27 and future health features Vision OS 27 and the future of spatial computing Apple TV, HomePod and smart home speculation Why WWDC26 may be light on hardware Whether Apple can make AI feel private, personal and useful Timestamps / chapter markers 00:00 - Why WWDC26 may be Apple’s AI reckoning 00:20 - Welcome to Tailoring Talk Magazine 00:38 - WWDC26 date, keynote and platform updates 01:00 - Is this Apple’s AI comeback moment? 01:12 - The big Siri overhaul rumour 01:42 - A dedicated Siri app and chatbot-style conversations 02:10 - Can Siri become genuinely useful? 02:28 - Dark Siri redesign and Dynamic Island integration 02:40 - Third-party AI models inside Apple Intelligence 03:18 - Apple’s vertical integration meets the AI race 03:42 - iOS 27 as refinement rather than reinvention 04:10 - Genmoji, Image Playground and AirPods settings 04:32 - AirPlay alternatives, Google Cast and EU regulation 04:50 - macOS 27 and Liquid Glass refinements 05:20 - Siri and Apple Intelligence on the Mac 05:48 - Why AI could be more useful on Mac than iPhone 06:02 - Watch OS 27 and Apple Watch health updates 06:30 - Could AI turn Apple Health into a coach? 06:53 - Vision OS, TV OS and Apple’s wider platforms 07:22 - Vision Pro and spatial computing’s next step 07:44 - Apple TV, smart home and the need for better Siri 08:10 - Why WWDC26 may not be a hardware event 08:26 - Future hardware hints versus actual products 09:00 - Foldable iPhone, touchscreen Mac and smart display speculation 09:20 - Apple’s generative AI problem 09:48 - What Apple Intelligence has done so far 10:12 - Why Siri is the missing piece 10:38 - What Jon thinks Apple will actually announce 10:50 - Siri gets the biggest stage time 11:05 - Apple Intelligence becomes more modular 11:22 - iOS 27 as an AI-refinement release 11:38 - Why macOS 27 could be the most interesting update 11:52 - Why hardware will probably be minimal 12:08 - The real WWDC26 question: can Apple make AI useful? 12:28 - Are you excited for smarter Siri? 12:42 - Like, subscribe and closing thoughts Hosted on Acast.

  6. Bentley, AI and the Death of Dress Codes

    Bentley, AI and the Death of Dress Codes

    253 Bobby and Jon are back with another candid Tailoring Talk Magazine call, covering hot weather dressing, the return of office dress codes, Bobby’s Bentley factory visit, craftsmanship, AI fatigue, iPhone regrets, Apple rumours and why smartphones might be the root of all evil. The conversation begins with the practical problem of dressing well when it’s hot, including summer shorts, espadrilles, sliders, Jesus creepers and why office dress codes are starting to make a comeback after going too far the other way. That leads into a bigger discussion about dressing appropriately for your role, your environment and your audience, rather than simply defaulting to “wear a suit” or “wear whatever you like”. Bobby shares how he’s been helping companies think through modern dress codes in a more nuanced way, especially now that workplace expectations are shifting again. The main thread of the episode is Bobby’s recent private visit to the Bentley factory, where he hosted VIP clients and came away deeply inspired by the craftsmanship, process, detail and human skill behind each car. That sparks a wider conversation about why people value handmade things more once they understand what goes into them, and why showing the process behind bespoke tailoring could completely change how clients experience the workroom. From there, Bobby and Jon get into AI, authenticity and the likely return of appreciation for human-made work. They discuss whether AI is useful as a tool, where it becomes problematic, and why practical effects, handmade objects and real creative accidents still matter. As always, it’s candid, chaotic and only loosely on the rails.

    Bond First Light, Project Hail Mary and EV Chaos

    252 Bobby and Jon are back for another candid, unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine catch-up, this time covering Bond First Light, Project Hail Mary, electric cars, Apple rumours, Netflix recommendations, Dune, Bentley track days and the continuing saga of Jon’s broken Nissan. Bobby and Jon return with another unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine ramble, beginning with the upcoming Bond First Light game and somehow ending up with Apple rumours, folding iPads, Bentley track days, Netflix spy dramas and a Nissan dealership fire. This episode starts with a proper Bond and gaming catch-up as Bobby and Jon talk about why gaming has become therapy, why First Light might be the closest thing to new Bond for a while and whether the new 007 game looks more like Hitman, Uncharted or something in between. From there, things move into Project Hail Mary, including Bobby and Carolina’s trip to see it at the BFI IMAX in 70mm, why the film has become such a rewatchable favourite and why some stories deserve to be seen on the biggest screen possible. There’s also a healthy dose of electric car chat, including Bobby’s early verdict on the new MINI, automatic parking, EV range anxiety, Jon’s Kia EV3 plans and the truly ridiculous latest chapter in his long-running Nissan saga. Also discussed: Apple Focus Modes, using tech to separate work and home life, the BFI cinema experience, Billie Eilish cinema chaos, Dune, Denis Villeneuve’s future Bond film, Netflix recommendations, The Boys, Daredevil Born Again, Bentley track days, Apple racing livery, the rumoured iPhone Fold and whether a folding iPad would actually make more sense. As always, it’s candid, chaotic and completely unscripted.
