Thanks so much for the love gents!! I absolutely loved working on that Cupronickel Superconductor Zenith with you George. I might need to borrow it again soon. Ha ha. Thanks Effers 🥃
What George (and the maker of Blok) probably didn't even consider is that the Blok watch is perfect for people who suffer from ADHD. Visual time tracking is one of the most important tools and a watch like that can make a massive different when trying to retain focus or splitting tasks into smaller pieces!
Absolutely smashed the first season out the park lads, the passion, knowledge and chemistry massively outweigh any slight production/learning curve issues, already looking forward to season 2. Also that blok watch is absolute genius, such a simplistic twist on bezel use.
Excellent series Gents. This session was one of my favorites. It’s mostly nice when you all don’t talk over one another. Love the sincerity. Looking forward to next season. 🥂
@@AboutEffingTime Good, because once you fix that, you’ve pretty much created the very best watch podcast I’ve ever heard. You make every show feel like the best watch meet up I’ve ever attended.
You know what I love about this podcast, it really feels like you're there with your watch nerd mates just talking about watches, no holds barred, man I am SO pumped for S2, keep it up guys, hope you're all having a good inter-season rest. Cheers from Bogota
Really f’ing enjoy season 1, icing on the cake was Andrew mentioning Serica. One of my favourite watches and you were spot on with why people chose it.
Zelos are up there for me. To build up the brand caché they have in such a short space of time is impressive. They don't rip anyones designs off. They have created hype, a cult following and have kept their product affordable and largely attainable. Their products even retain their value on the used market. They've done a great job.
@@marcusflack1523 Yeah they are great value, especially if you get in on the early bird pricing for new models. Most sell out fairly quick. Really great company.
Gents, I’ve really enjoyed this first series, bravo! Calling a turd a (f*cking) turd, regardless of price, and championing indies I’d yet to discover, all while chatting like mates in the pub. Cheers!
Hot take- this is easily your best episode yet! I learnt a ton about some really cool watches which I intend on seriously looking into and also really enjoyed genuine insight behind the undone problem.
Exactly as Adrian said; I didn’t quite get Blok at first glance, but now that George has explained the concept and the function behind the design, I now think it’s genius! LOVE IT 👏🏻
Micro brands that do not bring something unique and just do homages are worthless money grabs to me. Independents and micro brands like Ocean Crawler- the gshock of the automatic world and Christopher Ward- with some of the best bronze watches period, got me into watches. These unique additions to the industry and not homages are what caught my eye and pushed me into the watch world. Lots of Love from me for the micros and independents! Keep bringing passion and uniqueness to the market! Hell of a first season! Very excited for season 2!
Love that George dabbles in watches with different materials/metals. Love your unique Zenith. Glad you fessed up about field watches being BORING… even if Adrian and Andrew disagree. Keep up the good work!
Re: Weiss… very happy to see him get a good look from you gents. We’ve had him in our pod and he’s an amazing guest and an all around good dude. All that’s to say nothing of his very legit watchmaking chops, having been with 2/3 of the Trinity.
I have been loving watches for around 2 years now and painstakingly waiting to buy my first luxury watch. My budget meant that Omega, Tudor, Breitling etc were in my sights but I couldn’t decide because none of them gave me that connection. Then I found Baltic and fell in love. The story, the style, the versatility, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. To hear them get love from you effers previously made me happy. Looking forward to season 2!
Some people just miss the micro brand point, the love of watches isn’t always just about movement, the history or indeed the the value, it’s how they make you feel, micro’s often give you something the big names just miss, done see or are too brand protective to try
Can I just say gents you’ve nailed it with this one for me. Frankly, I’m tired of the same Rolex and AP themed videos that keep flooding my feeds. The topic, discussion and above all the brands you highlighted have truly helped to further my watch knowledge and potentially also persuaded me to seriously consider purchasing a few of the brands you highlighted. Very well done to all of you! And George your focus on children’s brand has somewhat made me reevaluate your entire positioning in my head 😉
Freaking great feedback Asad. I also when I was shooting these episodes can totally relate to your sentiments. I pulled the trigger on the desert sky studio underdog for example after seeing them discuss the watch. More of these episodes could be dangerous for the wallet.
You talk about trolling but honestly it’s the love of the watches I like. I enjoy that even on the annoyance episodes you’re still talking about what you also, absolutely love.
This is my favorite podcast. You guys are great. One small suggestion for season 2...one of the skulls on your logo needs a space between it's front teeth.
George 'why use 5 words when 5000 will do' Bamford! 😂 Love you all massively. Such a great team. Keep the pace guys! Looking forward to the next season already✊🥳🥃
@@AboutEffingTime Definitely not boring as you are both excellent, but would be a whole lot less like a night on the piss! Love his energy, Adrian’s grounded insight, and your intellectual consideration and wisdom!😉👌
GB is a legend! It took me a bit to plug into his eccentricities, now I reckon he’s a superstar. And huuuuge runs on the board, no question. You all rock boys, bring on season 2 and watch podcast GOAT status fellas💪🏻
Oh man, that approach to hours on the Blok! I struggled with the "hour chunk" concept so much as a little kid trying to learn how to tell time. Probably still do, honestly. Very very cool.
This is probably the only podcast that I re-visit as I realize every episode it’s even better seen than heard. AET will be queued up on the TV rather than the phone for S2.
Out the park lads as always. Feels like a season of Top Gear just finished. At least it’s only a 1 1/2 month break. Keep spreading the word. This is what the watch community needed. Gold dust.
Loved the episode, the candor, and the chemistry you all are developing. Blok is super fun, continuing to highlight brands that are thinking about ‘time’ in a unique way would be really cool. Excited for Season 2 and would be intrigued to hear some thoughts on F.P. Journe! PS - thanks @adrian for introducing me to these other two legends. PPS - bring your own watches next time 😂
Shout out to GB 👑, my wife just got back from London where she picked up the Mayfair I got made up at BWD. Looks amazing, got it in our company colours and the moral to this story? That action came from quickly becoming a fanboy of AET. Another awesome ep, bring on S2!
Honest to God, Undone has flooded my social media too! Anyway, great super episode!! Blok is a gem and love the concept! On a more traditional stances I like Farer too, I can vaguely relate them to Underdog on how they play with colour and dials, but of course are way more traditional than Underdog. THAT ZENITH IS BLOWING MY MIND
G'day Guys, Love your subjects & content. I am a bit of a fan of Microbrands & own several. I particularly love my 38mm white dial Weiss. I bought this one in 2020 when they were still US$1150 & still in California. Add the Aussie import & its actually US$1300. Almost 3 years later & my timegrapher shows a beat error of 0, a beat rate of 0,0,0,+1,0,0,-1,0,0 & amplitude of 302! This shows the highest quality of care & production & Cameron Weiss deserves all accolades for his knowledge & expertise. What you weren't up to date with Adrian was the current price. They are now US$2200!
Guys, please continue to show more photos when you're describing timepieces. I learn a lot from you. Surely I'm not the only viewer who benefits from your extensive collective knowledge. However, It is a labor of curiosity and the desire to know more by having to look up every watch that you're discussing. Much appreciation to all!
Just saw this video and was looking at the Weiss, on your tablet 2 months ago they were $1450, today they are $2000 on their web. Wow that’s a 34% increase.
Great show and selection of brands. I was done with Undone when I saw somebody post the watch they had received and the clasp on the strap was so messed up it couldn't even function. It was one of the worst QC issues I'd ever seen. How that could have even made it onto the watch is beyond me. If they're messing that up, what else is crap? The 2 broken watches mentioned doesn't surprise me in the least, and that they ripped Adrian off is anger inducing. On top of that, they have supremely annoying RUclips ads that I was seeing often for a while. I had never heard of Blok, but now I'm giving them a serious look. I wonder if my daughter would actually wear one. She wore her NASA Flik Flak (she chose) briefly, but hasn't touched it in a long time. I need to figure out why she's not wearing it first before I get her another watch.
Wasn’t sure when I watched the first of these but really enjoyed this one, toned it down a bit which with such big personalities you needed to do. Keep it up gents. 👍
Great series gents. Love the passion and the realistic views on all brands. Not everything is what it seems. My Monday morning coffee is better with A.E.T. See you in Series 2 ✌️🇦🇺
Man, that was quite a ride! But i loved it, love your comments on each other's opinion (especially GB 😁) and i learned a lot about my effing watches, too. All in all: great show, can't wait for season two!
That Handmade 1 is unbelievable. Microbrands are cool I have a few, some have been stellar some not so much but its a fun way to collect interesting watches, that's for sure. Oh BTW this podcast has been a lot of fun, you guys have great chemistry, keep it up!
Well, season 1 was excellent, far from stale, and the ease of the swearing ran seamlessly and emphasized the intent of the points made. I'm an English ex-pat living in New Jersey, which, to be honest, has elevated my use profanity quite a fucking bit. I'm sold on the "three blokes having a chat" thing. You could be talking about empty shoe boxes and I'd be entertained, but it's horology and I'm absolutely enthralled. Thanks.
Guys, no love for Baltic this time? Anyway, great season’s finale. I’m glad you shared those stories about Undone, cause now I’m done with them 😂. What a dad joke. See you in the next season!
It is absolutely so difficult to hold an honest session as much as they could both in a positive n negative way. Yet managing they are managing it so well, naturally and professionally. Love them!
Very cool that you included Weiss Watches. If I remember correctly from his podcast, he worked at Vacheron making him a very skilled watchmaker. Nice to have a solid American brand in the mix
Cameron worked at both Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, and it shows in the attention to details and finishing on the watches. They are simple but done very well, and especially at their pre-owned prices they are a solid and unique proposition considering the skillset of the person making them.
I have a Weiss 38mm Field Watch (manual wind) and I love it. The podcast (on youtube) is called Watch and Listen, and listening to Cameron talk about watches is what made me get into horology, and also purchase one of his watches. So glad Weiss Watch Company was brought up here!
Amazing season mates!! It was so informative and fun too see and hear 3 cool dudes taking about watches and the stories behind it, as well as introducing us to more greatness for the BYOI segment. Can not wait for season 2 to go live. Cheers, and take care you all!!
Thank you so much for the planet Greubel Forsey love on this episode. Can’t wait for Season 2. You guys are awesome and make watch content sooooo exciting❤❤
@@AboutEffingTime I have listened to and enjoyed every episode and every therapy session - I must get out more ! No, seriously you guys are fantastic, so much fun and the dynamic between you is addictive ! Bring on series 2 ASAP ! Xx
Hats off to you four. 👏 Amazing first series, already can’t wait for the second! Opened my eyes to a lot of new stuff during these podcasts. Big love from Yorkshire! Ps: George, that Bamford X Zenith is absolutely gorgeous! (possibly my favourite Bamford watch along with the RUF Carrera). Shame that never made it to production. 👌
Adrian talking about Weiss just moved them from the middle of my wishlist to the top. I've been eyeing those for a while now and it might be time to pull the trigger.
Some of my personal favorites are Baltic , Zelos and Christopher Ward. All three have very solid build quality, unique designs and great customer service. Furlan Marri is also one I'm keeping my eye on , very cool stuff coming from them.
Best watch content/media out there at the moment. Just 3 geezers talking watches with all the hot takes you could ask for. Between Worn & Wound, Watchbox, and AET, they are filling the massive Hodinkee and I'm here for it. Lorier needs some love next microbrand episode. Get your hands on one, they're doing it right. Thanks gents!
George - was fascinated by the Blok watches you brought in. I stopped the video, visited the site and ordered one for my granddaughter before even getting the end of the video. Great shout out.
"The podcast has a tradition of supporting microbrands..." as long as that microbrand is Baltic and Studio Underdog. I think I figured out who the sponsor for next season should be... Those brands owe you guys quite a royalty check for all the publicity you've given them over this season... LOL
This was again a very relaxing video. I love your insights, your comments and I even learned about two new watchbrands today. I can’t wait for season 2 to launch! To be continued, t’is a consumation devoutly to be wished … 😊 As for microbrands, one of my favourites is Baltic, they just nailed it with their design. But another I stumbled upon is Forzo. They focus on racing history and their watches are very well designed and high quality built, especially for the price range. They should perhaps look at their movement but otherwise brilliantly done. Thank you guys. Hope you have fun filming season 2! 😎
Guys, suggestions listed: 1. invite people to the show to chat, 2. Do a mircobrand funding pitch session with a 1 minute video, 3. Talk quartz, not merely digital 4. Watch history deep dive, who did what, when, how, how they killed it 5. Talk diamonds, rubies,.and gold, cool not cool, 6. Talk artist collabs like Zenith and Pantone (which is Effing Amazing) ... can't wait
This was a particularly good episode. When you all get concise, the show gets tighter and more interesting. The "one-word answer" format is brilliant. Consider doing a shotgun round of three questions. As for the substance, Andrew's Serica pick is excellent and he made a good case for the watch. The commentary on Undone was a bit jarring. I did not know of all the problems. My general impressions were (a) it was founded by Michael Young, who has a killer reputation for fixing vintage Rolex bracelets and (b) while there was a lot of questionable character-driven design, there were some compelling offerings like the Simple Union collaboration with urushi and sometsuke dials. It sounds like Undone has some work to do to (re?)build its reputation.
Well done guys! I really enjoyed season one and so happy to hear your going to be doing season two. I’d love to hear more about Grand Seiko on the show. It seemed last time you brought it up that no one had much exposure to them. Let’s change that before the next season gets recorded!
Really want to know what you guys think of Christopher Ward hope it is covered on BYOI at some point. Loved the Blok watches been looking for a good kids watch for a while and they look great. Another great video guys always a nice way to cap off the weekend.
Love the show, just subscribed, and can’t wait for the next season. I thought Undone had a pretty neat hook when they started, but something made me hesitate. You guys revealed the “something” - thanks. I like the Islanders from Marc Frankel at Long Island Watch. Marc was an online dealer for years and when Seiko discontinued the SKX, he had to fill that vacuum and started his own brand. Initial models were all very SKX-looking divers but with better quality, crystals, movements and bracelets than the SKX. Since then, his line has expanded to include dress watches, field & pilot watches, design collaborations, a Swiss movement GMT, and models inspired by Long Island landmarks. Best thing about them though is the high level of customer service and honesty - breath of fresh air.
Awesome guy's for me "Lorier" Rocks,I like the design very much vintage Inspired ...great content as always 👍👍.keep it up... greetings from st George Utah until next time....
Undone can get f**ked! Drop mic. End of season 1! 😂 Love this podcast so much! Exactly what the watch community needed 👌 Looking forward to season 2 now 😁
Congratulations guys, absolutely superb, can’t wait for the second season. All 4 of you bring something special to the show. I think you’ve outdone yourselves and undone those prats who flogged Adrian’s review. My favourite was the Weiss watch. Really liked that. My favourite micro brand is probably Farer. Really like their designs and own a Lander IV gorgeous green/blue sunburst dial. Os I’ve also ordered that bloody Shiraz!
Undone used to be interesting when you could customize everything, but as you guys said, it’s become just another brand peddling other brand’s trademarks. Those Blok watches look incredible.
Just all the effing hats off to you, gents. 👏🏼 Already loved you guys individually, and now together. My microbrand done with the highest level of quality, class, and customer service would be MONTA.
Keep it going guys, thsi actually makes my week watching these! So good, making us aware of some brands i've never even seen or heard of, love your work, and see you soon!
You should also read the comments in each episode. I have discovered many brands through peoples comments that I was never aware of myself. This is a wealth of info in the watch world.
Thanks so much for the love gents!! I absolutely loved working on that Cupronickel Superconductor Zenith with you George. I might need to borrow it again soon. Ha ha. Thanks Effers 🥃

What George (and the maker of Blok) probably didn't even consider is that the Blok watch is perfect for people who suffer from ADHD. Visual time tracking is one of the most important tools and a watch like that can make a massive different when trying to retain focus or splitting tasks into smaller pieces!
I know.... that is why I love my Blok some much.
I saw the watch and love it, but wish they made it in a bigger size for adults

Also that blok watch is absolute genius, such a simplistic twist on bezel use.
Not all microbrands are created equal... but a bunch of microbrands literally are created equal, by the same factories and assemblers ;)
Which ones in particular?
Yup totally agree ....maybe 95% is my estimate.
Do you think Farer or Christopher ward are part of that 95%? What are your thoughts on those brands
Zelos group
Like swatch group etc

Yeah they had Baltic in the description but didn't hear it mentioned anywhere after I finished the episode.
Incredible first season. Honestly this has been something I have looked forward to every week, so thank you for putting it together
Thanks for joining us 👊🏼
I really have loved this series, chaps. Please keep it up with the next one. Great format; knowledge, chemistry and passion. Thanks
👊🏼
I've loved every episode and can not wait for S2. Thanks!
Keep up the great work guys! All of your videos continue to keep me enthusiastic about watch collecting. Your passion for this hobby is infectious!!
My wish for next season - that George’s clocks get fixed and are properly set. How many watch makers does he have outside his office door? 😂
It is absolutely so difficult to hold an honest session as much as they could both in a positive n negative way. Yet managing they are managing it so well, naturally and professionally. Love them!
Great video, original content and love the focus on micro brands - both enjoyable and learnt something new! Look forward to S.2
binge watched all episodes over a few days. Awesome, informative and entertaining. I now need a Bamford Casio in my life. Looking for to season 2.
Dropping tomorrow 🙌
Very cool that you included Weiss Watches. If I remember correctly from his podcast, he worked at Vacheron making him a very skilled watchmaker. Nice to have a solid American brand in the mix
Cameron worked at both Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, and it shows in the attention to details and finishing on the watches. They are simple but done very well, and especially at their pre-owned prices they are a solid and unique proposition considering the skillset of the person making them.
I have a Weiss 38mm Field Watch (manual wind) and I love it. The podcast (on youtube) is called Watch and Listen, and listening to Cameron talk about watches is what made me get into horology, and also purchase one of his watches. So glad Weiss Watch Company was brought up here!
Well done lads! Absolutely been a pleasure listening to you all over the 8 episodes and subsequent therapy sessions!
You can officially call yourself OG. Welcome on board.
I love This show! I listen to it on the podcast, and then a watch the same episode on RUclips! Thank you and please keep it going!!
I’m getting some serious VB logo vibes from your green AFT hoodie! 👏. Marcus and Andrew will get the reference! 🍺
Definitely a hard earned hoodie 🍻
Great job guys! Very entertaining & thought provoking.
What was microbrand that George disliked?
To be explained in Therapy …
Great stuff guys! I wish you at least 10 season.
Amazing season mates!! It was so informative and fun too see and hear 3 cool dudes taking about watches and the stories behind it, as well as introducing us to more greatness for the BYOI segment. Can not wait for season 2 to go live. Cheers, and take care you all!!
Loved this episode! George, thank you for introducing us to Blok! We are going to be buying one for our son who already loves watches!
Thank you so much for the planet Greubel Forsey love on this episode. Can’t wait for Season 2. You guys are awesome and make watch content sooooo exciting❤❤
🥺 such kind words!
@@AboutEffingTime I have listened to and enjoyed every episode and every therapy session - I must get out more ! No, seriously you guys are fantastic, so much fun and the dynamic between you is addictive ! Bring on series 2 ASAP ! Xx
Hats off to you four. 👏
Amazing first series, already can’t wait for the second! Opened my eyes to a lot of new stuff during these podcasts. Big love from Yorkshire!
Ps: George, that Bamford X Zenith is absolutely gorgeous! (possibly my favourite Bamford watch along with the RUF Carrera). Shame that never made it to production. 👌
Adrian talking about Weiss just moved them from the middle of my wishlist to the top. I've been eyeing those for a while now and it might be time to pull the trigger.
Some of my personal favorites are Baltic , Zelos and Christopher Ward. All three have very solid build quality, unique designs and great customer service. Furlan Marri is also one I'm keeping my eye on , very cool stuff coming from them.
I agree, I often forget how “new” Christopher ward are still. They are brilliant.
At what minute do they talk about Baltic? Cant seem to find it
Made my mind up on what my next purchase is going to be - Baltic aquascaphe blue gilt, it's a beauty.
Not sure if I would put c ward in the micro brand space
Zelos is so nice. I agree with you on all three though.
Love these videos on a Sunday! Always fun.👍🏻
Awesome close to season one! Cannot wait to see what is next! Thank you for introducing me to Blok! Ordered them for my kids!
Blok watches for the win this episode.
Best watch content/media out there at the moment. Just 3 geezers talking watches with all the hot takes you could ask for. Between Worn & Wound, Watchbox, and AET, they are filling the massive Hodinkee and I'm here for it.
Lorier needs some love next microbrand episode. Get your hands on one, they're doing it right. Thanks gents!
🫡
George - was fascinated by the Blok watches you brought in. I stopped the video, visited the site and ordered one for my granddaughter before even getting the end of the video. Great shout out.
Wow. Pretty sure there’s gonna be a spike in sales for Blok. So many people did something similar. Thanks for watching Pete.
"The podcast has a tradition of supporting microbrands..." as long as that microbrand is Baltic and Studio Underdog. I think I figured out who the sponsor for next season should be... Those brands owe you guys quite a royalty check for all the publicity you've given them over this season... LOL
They got more than their share but they deserve it - and us helping to sell micros is a fucking great outcome 🤘🏻
George Clarkson, Andy Hammond, Adrian May. Great chemistry. Even the music reminds me of the Grand Tour. Looking forward to S2.
3:20 "10th of a second", George, gotta get that one right buddy! It's 100th and wow am I ever happy to see it on your wrist. love my ultraviotlet.
This was again a very relaxing video. I love your insights, your comments and I even learned about two new watchbrands today. I can’t wait for season 2 to launch!
To be continued, t’is a consumation devoutly to be wished … 😊
As for microbrands, one of my favourites is Baltic, they just nailed it with their design. But another I stumbled upon is Forzo. They focus on racing history and their watches are very well designed and high quality built, especially for the price range. They should perhaps look at their movement but otherwise brilliantly done.
Thank you guys. Hope you have fun filming season 2! 😎
Guys, suggestions listed: 1. invite people to the show to chat, 2. Do a mircobrand funding pitch session with a 1 minute video, 3. Talk quartz, not merely digital 4. Watch history deep dive, who did what, when, how, how they killed it 5. Talk diamonds, rubies,.and gold, cool not cool, 6. Talk artist collabs like Zenith and Pantone (which is Effing Amazing) ... can't wait

This was a particularly good episode. When you all get concise, the show gets tighter and more interesting. The "one-word answer" format is brilliant. Consider doing a shotgun round of three questions. As for the substance, Andrew's Serica pick is excellent and he made a good case for the watch. The commentary on Undone was a bit jarring. I did not know of all the problems. My general impressions were (a) it was founded by Michael Young, who has a killer reputation for fixing vintage Rolex bracelets and (b) while there was a lot of questionable character-driven design, there were some compelling offerings like the Simple Union collaboration with urushi and sometsuke dials. It sounds like Undone has some work to do to (re?)build its reputation.
Someone had to stand up and say what was need about undone.
Would be great to expand upon this topic.
Well done guys! I really enjoyed season one and so happy to hear your going to be doing season two. I’d love to hear more about Grand Seiko on the show. It seemed last time you brought it up that no one had much exposure to them. Let’s change that before the next season gets recorded!
I like your vision BlakeV11.
Really want to know what you guys think of Christopher Ward hope it is covered on BYOI at some point.
Loved the Blok watches been looking for a good kids watch for a while and they look great.
Another great video guys always a nice way to cap off the weekend.
Love the show, just subscribed, and can’t wait for the next season. I thought Undone had a pretty neat hook when they started, but something made me hesitate. You guys revealed the “something” - thanks. I like the Islanders from Marc Frankel at Long Island
Watch. Marc was an online dealer for years and when Seiko discontinued the SKX, he had to fill that vacuum and started his own brand. Initial models were all very SKX-looking divers but with better quality, crystals, movements and bracelets than the SKX. Since then, his line has expanded to include dress watches, field & pilot watches, design collaborations, a Swiss movement GMT, and models inspired by Long Island landmarks. Best thing about them though is the high level of customer service and honesty - breath of fresh air.
Awesome guy's for me "Lorier" Rocks,I like the design very much vintage Inspired ...great content as always 👍👍.keep it up... greetings from st George Utah until next time....
Absolutely awesome guys I’m from Melbourne Australia and have been to time and tide a few times love there nato straps
Undone can get f**ked! Drop mic. End of season 1! 😂
Love this podcast so much! Exactly what the watch community needed 👌
Looking forward to season 2 now 😁
It felt good to let of that steam 🤣
Adrian, tell us how you really feel, don’t be so ambiguous 😂
Congratulations guys, absolutely superb, can’t wait for the second season. All 4 of you bring something special to the show.
I think you’ve outdone yourselves and undone those prats who flogged Adrian’s review. My favourite was the Weiss watch. Really liked that. My favourite micro brand is probably Farer. Really like their designs and own a Lander IV gorgeous green/blue sunburst dial.
Os I’ve also ordered that bloody Shiraz!
Putting the video on pause to head straight to the Blok website. What a brilliant design, I’ll take 2 please!
And now I’m back after placing an order haha
Undone used to be interesting when you could customize everything, but as you guys said, it’s become just another brand peddling other brand’s trademarks. Those Blok watches look incredible.
This has quickly become my favourite watch pod, keep up the great work gents!
Thank you thank you thank you
Just all the effing hats off to you, gents. 👏🏼 Already loved you guys individually, and now together. My microbrand done with the highest level of quality, class, and customer service would be MONTA.
Great shout
Great season. Very entertaining and deep conversations. Thank you guys for doing that. Looking forrward to the next season!
Thanks OMR - see you there 🤘🏻
That Blok watch is so simple, ingenious and stunning. Absolutely great work!!!!
Keep it going guys, thsi actually makes my week watching these! So good, making us aware of some brands i've never even seen or heard of, love your work, and see you soon!
You should also read the comments in each episode. I have discovered many brands through peoples comments that I was never aware of myself. This is a wealth of info in the watch world.
I really like you guys talking about independent watches, it's very interesting.
...I love that question! another episode coming...great work!
