This episode of the aBlogtoWatch Weekly Podcast starts with cooking-and-wine banter before serving up a full course of watch talk — from the buzz around Dubai Watch Week (and the city's surprisingly good dining scene) to the eternal tug-of-war between hobbyists and luxury buyers. Celebrity endorsements get side-eyed for hype over substance, while Watches & Wonders is hailed as the big stage for fresh releases. The team celebrates wild designs like Roger Dubuis’s Knights of the Round Table, pokes fun at the idea of “test-driving” a table, and dives into the perennial nostalgia factor, comparing defunct camera brands like Minolta to beloved watch marques. The guys explore how “obsolete” complications find new life, tease barely associative future tangents about hot sauces, and wrap it all in their now-trademark irreverence, turning serious industry insights into an entertaining conversation that keeps watch talk as approachable as it is deep-diving.
