This Watch Life Lydia Winters and Vu Bui

In today's episode we discuss quartz watches. Since Lydia's recent purchase of her quartz powered Royal Oak she had some realizations!

Here's the interesting article about the quartz crisis story perhaps not being all that we've been told:

In this episode we discuss a new potential trend of wearing watches upside down on the wrist, so to the wearer it's upside down but to the external viewer or the photographer they are right side up. Lydia shows that there are limits to her loosey goosey ways!

Partly inspired by this article:

In this episode we answer a question from @ten10fiftynine about whether we've started looking at new watches at the same time that we get a new watch, and from @watchcology about customizing a brand's watches (where Lydia shares a design she created herself and submitted to AP for a custom Royal Oak), and a question from Tiago Cruz about Stendhal's Syndrome in relation to watches.

To see Lydia's design submission go to thiswatchlife.com.

In today's episode we discuss an ad and a movie that both feature Ryan Gosling wearing TAG Heuer watches and being funny and looking cool. They have more to do with each other than you'd think!

The Chase for Carerra ad (short film):

The Extra Gum ad that Vu loved so much:

In this episode we discuss how we like to approach going to look at a watch that we are interested in. How should someone use the valuable little time they often have with a watch before needing to make a decision on whether or not to buy it.

We approach this with slightly different mentalities, Vu with his interview and Lydia more like a first date.
