We're baaaaack discussing Sir Elton John's GOODBYE PEACHTREE ROAD estate sale at Christie's. Then we're yee-hawing onto Pharrell's F/W '24 show for Louis Vuitton, during which he wore the world's thinnest watch (the RM UP-01). And to close, it's all about SALTBURN (better late than never!). Ciao for now xo
We're baaaaaack after the holidays discussing our fav watch brand press presents, Furbies and posi vibes. Then it's WATCH NEWS: Frédéric Arnault Named CEO Of LVMH Watches! Then our take on red carpet watches (it's all marketing). Full listicle here (shout out Cam Wolf). And then we get into the difference between watches and fashion, taking a cue from Malaika's adventures in Paris.
Killing Time with Brynn and Malaika is back with a special video edition (!!!), shot live from Miami in celebration of Cartier Time Unlimited, an immersive exhibition encapsulating Cartier's watchmaking legacy.
WATCH NEWS is all about the exhibition itself, which blew us away and is open to the public in Miami's chic Design District until December 22.
WATCH SPOTTING covers Cartier ambassador (and new friend of the pod) Emma Chamberlain and her viral Baignoire choker moment. We also discuss #CartierBoy Jacob Elordi and Princess Diana's Tank Française in the latest season of The Crown.
Our final segment is CHATTING WITH THE EXPERTS, going deep into Cartier watchmaking design and technology with Romain Moyse (Innovation & Technology Manager) & Raphael Abeillon (Sr. Watch Designer).
Ciao for now xo
This week, we're joined by Thom Bettridge, Head of Creative and Content at SSENSE and Malaika's former boss. We discuss the AP Royal Oak Spidey, Malaika's trip to Monaco and a lot of other things... about watches, duh. Ciao x
Ciaooooo! We're back with episode 3. Big watch news: Audemars Piguet announces a new CEO, Ilaria Resta. Then onto watch spotting, featuring The Weeknd's Cannes Piaget moment. And then, Malaika gives a play by play of her fancy trip to Venice with Bulgari. xo
Welcome back to Killing Time, in which we discuss the Coronation and the Royal Family (topics Malaika is well-versed in, whereas Brynn is a passive observer). You can read about Prince, ahem, King Charles's Parmigiani here and the Queen's (Elizabeth, not Camilla) watches here. The back across the pond for a healthy dose of watch spotting thanks to the gift that keeps on giving, the NBA Playoffs. Adele's power couple watch moment is really all you need to see here. Ciao for now.
We're BAAAAACK! It's the Season 2 premiere and we're coming at you with a Watches & Wonders recap, shouting out our favorite watches including Malaika's fav, the Rolex Emoji Day-Date and Brynn's fav, the Cartier Baignoire bangle. We also discuss the Met Gala, highlighting Jeremy Strong's insane outfit and RM 07-04. You can see what everyone wore here.
This week, we have a good ol' chinwag because there's not much watch stuff to speak about ahead of WATCHES & WONDERS! Then we talk about the Gem Awards aka the Oscars of the jewelry world. Next episode will drop in 2 weeks, where we are back to our regularly scheduled watch programming (and not just talking about BORGs, which unfortunately we can't attach an image of in the "show notes"... DM Brynn if you want it).
Happy belated International Women's Day to all who celebrate lol. We start with a therapy sesh about being a woman in the watch world, and then we dive into watch spotting at the OSCARS! See Malaika's article on "pay to play" via Hodinkee.
We’re baaaack after a brief hiatus due to Brynn being ACROSS THE POND! Good to be back to discuss:
WATCH NEWS
RICHARD MILLE releases the RM 07-04 Automatic Sport, designed for women by women.
We both went to AP house on the same day (me in London, Malaika in NYC). Malaika loved the ceramic Offshore aka "The Beast" and I loved the titanium Royal Oak QP.
And neither of us got to try on the gold RO with the turquoise dial :'(
WATCH SPOTTING... we could have talked about Kim K wearing the G-Shock and the subsequent HATERS... but we're being positive today.
And then we have a nice CHINWAG about LONDON!!!!!!! Shout-out IWC for sending Brynn, but alas, everything she saw there was under embargo until the end of March.
It's episode Forever 21. This week, Brynn shakes off her vacation brain to join Malaika in some deep conversation about Jacob & Co.'s impact on the watch world via the Five Time Zone. We also, of course, talk about Rihanna wearing Jacob & Co. during her Super Bowl performance.
We also talk about the industry's distaste for bust downs, which you can read about here.
And what else...? You'll just have to listen! xoxo
EPISODE 20! We inexplicably talk about "BORGs", Four Loko and "alcopops" before we get into...
WATCH NEWS! The Audemars Piguet novelties and the Murakami Hublot Rainbow :)
and WATCH SPOTTING! In which we discuss who wore what at the Grammys, which already feels like 2 years ago.
We're back to our regular recording schedule which means, of course, we have not as much to talk about. But don't worry, we fill this hour of a chin-wag with some good insight, info and lols. Like, you'll learn what an "embargo" is if you don't know already.
WATCH NEWS this week is... NO WATCH NEWS! Which kind of has the vibe of when your teacher doesn't assign homework for the weekend.
WATCH SPOTTING... is Pharrell wearing his RM 88 SMILEY! Malaika's fav out in the wild. And we spend a lot of time talking about Richard Mille because we're both Mille-Pilled.
We also discuss Michael B. Jordan wearing his vintage Piaget Polo, which we've been told is a gift from the brand.
And in between that, well... you'll just have to listen luvs! Ciao for now.
We're baaaaack after another hiatus (sorry!). Malaika was traveling the globe and Brynn was... crying at home because the sun didn't come out for 3 weeks straight. But without further ado:
WATCH NEWS!
– The RM 66 "Horn to Be Wild" edition that we're both obsessed with
– The Cartier Tank Française reissue
WATCH SPOTTING!

And Malaika tells of her adventures with Jaeger-LeCoultre, exploring the Vallée de Joux and The Collectibles!
WE'RE BAAAACK from a holiday hiatus. Thank for your patience... Malaika was basking in the sunshine in Jamaica and Brynn was enjoying a New York Christmas. Which we discuss. But also...
WATCH NEWS: It's LVMH watch week, so here are some notable releases.

Brynn and Malaika's year in review. Some jolly good fun to nestle up with by the fire (or... the radiator).
Plus: Malaika's watch of the year. Brynn's watch of the year. See you in 2023, thank you for listening we love you!
For episode 15, we speak with a VERY special guest: Nicholas Biebuyck, Heritage Director at TAG Heuer. He visits us for a Saturday afternoon chinwag in the stu all the way from clean, clear-aired Switzerland. We discuss – in depth – where he grew up in the UK, his career and how he got to where he is today, which is TAG Heuer – pioneer of official motorsport partnerships, maker of our fav (the Formula 1) and the crème de la crème of the '90s.
But before our illuminating conversation, Brynn dishes on her adventures in Beaver Creek, Colorado... shredding up the slopes with Breitling brand ambassador and 2x Olympic gold medalist, Chloe Kim.
We're baaaaack with a special episode recorded from Brynn's hotel room in Miami. We were there for Art Basel on a trip hosted by the most litty of the brands, Hublot.
WATCH NEWS: Hublot releases a thicc 49mm MP-09 rainbow Tourbillon, which we got to try on over an 8-course dinner at Nobu. Audemars Piguet releases a Code 11.59 Starwheel (and Malaika got to party with John Mayer and Serena Williams). And Rolex officially launched a program for certified pre-owned watches.
Other than that, it's just... MIAMI VIBEZ.
CIAO XOXO
LUCKY EPISODE 13! This week we're back with some out of the box ideas about complications for ladies. And then... dee dee dee dee dee dee deee...
WATCH NEWS! We're most excited about the Haribo Baby G.
WATCH SPOTTING! Tyler, the Creator's collection via Robb Report.
Plus, we discuss Malaika's latest adventures in Switzerland, giving you the scoop from the GPHG Awards (full list of winners here). Congratulations to Max Büsser (& Friends)!!! And, per his urging (and now Malaika's), drop everything you're doing and watch this TED Talk.
Also, Brynn discusses her gala moment with the Swiss Institute and the fact that she's hired herself a stylist (because she can't always be dressed by Missoni).
Ciao for now! Happy THXGIVING ya filthy animals.
We're back with more riveting watch chat! We discuss WATCH NEWS: the thicc and juicy new Rolex diver watch aka the Deepsea Challenge, the Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather Musical watch, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce "Rainbow" Chronograph, and the article that launched a thousand Malaika cyber bullies. Kris Jenner was spotted wearing this watch a week later. Then, we check in and have a TOUCH BASE about our careers! Ciao for now xoxo
