The Watch Collector as Political Actor — Elites, Influence, and Cultural Capital

n Episode 8, we step into the world of the collector—not just as a hobbyist, but as a political actor.

We explore how the buying, selling, and showcasing of high-end watches creates networks of power, influence, and cultural capital.

From heads of state whose collections signal national pride, to billionaires shaping auction markets, to elite gatherings where watches double as diplomatic tools—we break down the politics of collecting.

This is where taste meets strategy, and where a single timepiece can tell a story about money, status, and soft power.
