    Season 2 - What I Hate About My Favorite Watches

    From Patek Philippe to Blancpain and beyond, even grail watches are imperfect. In today’s episode, Tim offers constructive criticism of his favorite watches from major luxury brands. Make no mistake; these are Tim’s major goal watches, and their flaws do not diminish their desirability. But honesty is the best policy, and a critical perspective can be key to weeding out sound and unsound choices. Watch collectors seeking to pare down their purchase targets can ride along with Tim and apply his critical eye for evaluating which goal watches are keepers and discards.

    Season 02 - Czapek & Cie. CEO Interview With Xavier de Roquemaurel

    Since its resurrection in 2015, independent watch brand Czapek & Cie. has gained a reputation for quality, irreverence, and transparency. Brand CEO Xavier de Roquemaurel’s personality, values, and business approach account for much of Czapek’s approachable public image. Tim Mosso shares an hour with Mr. Roquemaurel to discuss the company’s origins, new factory, future ambitions, and the unqualified success of the Antarctique sports watch collection. Many 2022 novelties and 2023 product plans feature prominently, and Czapek’s open disclosure of its etablissage approach to watchmaking highlight Mr. Roquemaurel’s pragmatic product development process. This episode provides insight into the creation and operation of a watch brand that produces hundreds – not thousands – of watches per year.
