  1. Christopher Ward CEO Mike France on the game-changing Bel Canto

    7 NOV.

    Christopher Ward CEO Mike France on the game-changing Bel Canto

    Today, we sit down with Mike France, co-founder and CEO of Christopher Ward, the UK-based direct-to-consumer brand that has (you may be shocked to learn) been around since 2004.   We chat to Mike about the early days of the brand and how they evolved from a design-led microbrand into the fully-fledged brand they are today, with in-house watchmaking expertise that rivals that of the Swiss.    Of course, it doesn’t take long for the conversation to veer to their incredible breakout hit, the Bel Canto. Mike tells us how the innovative chiming watch was an unexpected byproduct of COVID-induced working conditions and how the smash-hit watch has changed their business.   We also talk about the brand new release, the Bel Canto Classic. But before that, Felix debriefs on his jaunt to Hong Kong for Dubai Watch Week’s Horology Forum 10.  Felix reports on HF.10 in Hong Kong Tim Mosso at Horology Forum Christopher Ward Watches The Bel Canto Classic on Andy’s IG Frank Skinner’s poetry podcast Like watches?

  2. Marc Montagne on Investing in Watches

    Marc Montagne on Investing in Watches

    We thought we knew what we were getting into when we asked Marc Montagne, author of 'Invest in Watches: The Art of Watch Collecting' onto the pod. We prepared questions around market motility, hot models and the ethics of flipping, but it quickly became apparent that it wasn't going to be that kind of interview. Marc, a watch industry professional, wasn't interested in buying and selling to make a quick buck — he was in it for the long haul. Marc is more interested in investing in quality and the style of watch that works for you. It might not be the textbook definition of investment, but we respect the hell out of the approach. Before chatting with Marc, Felix and Andy ponder what Hodinkee's acquisition by Watches of Switzerland means for the industry (and how much it sold for).

    James Kennedy - Managing Director and CEO of Kennedy Watches & Jewellery

    This week's guest is James Kennedy, the Managing Director and CEO of Kennedy Watches & Jewellery, one of Australia's leading luxury retailers. We chat with James about what it's like to be an Authorised Dealer for some of the world's most prestigious and desirable watch brands/ James shares (in detail) about how he turned a small family business into an Australia-wide business and the lessons he's learned along the way. We discuss the booming popularity of watches over the last 15 years, and what his thoughts are on the future of luxury, including the perennially thorny questions of allocation and investment, as well as the state of the Australian market more broadly. You don't have to have walked through the doors of a Kennedy boutique for James' insights into the industry to resonate, this is an insightful discussion for anyone interested in the business of watches. This episode is sponsored by Kennedy. Like watches? Join our Discord.  How to follow us: Instagram: @ot.podcast Facebook: @OTPODCASTAU Follow hosts: @fkscholz + @andygreenlive on Instagram.

  4. Chris Hall from The Fourth Wheel

    Chris Hall from The Fourth Wheel

    One of OT:’s very favourite people is Chris Hall, the guy behind The Fourth Wheel Substack — which bills itself as an honest, opinionated and informative insight into watches and the business around them. Given that every week or so we’re Chris’ newsletter on the pod, we thought it was high time to get him back on and talk about his approach to reporting on watches and what his plans are for the Substack in the months ahead.

    Matteo Violet-Vianello, founder of Anoma Watches

    In this episode, we chat with the man behind one of 2024’s most-discussed watch brands, Anoma. Matteo Violet-Vianello developed his love of free-form vintage watch aesthetics while working at A Collected Man, and decided he wanted to create his own watch. Despite having no formal design training, Anoma’s debut watch, the A1, is an assured and sophisticated design that tackles the seldom-seen triangular case. Matteo explains his design choices, the production process and the philosophical underpinnings of this exciting new brand.
