This Watch Life

In this episode we discuss Tudor's 100 year anniversary and what that might mean for their releases this year.

2025 marked some real changes for both of us in terms of our collections... with Lydia taking a more measured approach than previous years and Vu going wild. Perhaps for the household this is a good strategy, to take turns?
We discuss which watches we bought and why, and what was different about 2025 and what that might mean for the future of our collections.

Believe it or not, 2026 is here! In this episode we go over some of our predictions for the year, talk about some things we are hoping to see, and speculate a bit about this year in watches.

In this episode we dive into the wonderful world of bird watching as it relates to watch collecting. It turns out many hobbies and passions share so many similarities in the way people enjoy them, in the communities surrounding them, and even sometimes in the downsides to them.

In this episode we talk about whether or not enthusiasts should be more involved in watch design, if "hand made" matters, what complications we want, whether or not to modify luxury watches, and name some of our favorite podcasts!
