Really enjoyed this one, Thanks for everything you do
What a great guest! So much more interesting that the "loud" guests before...
He should have brought a lot more watches. He has good taste and seems to favour watches that are less common....pls invite him back. Also, the German Damasko makes watches with fully lumed dials.
Got a Wolf winder for Christmas from my girlfriend, never been so stoked in my life when I opened the box and saw that Wolf logo
Scandinavian winters are what make our summers all the sweeter ;)
Greetings from norway 🇳🇴
I love my Wolf winder. Great unit and would definitely recommend
Matt and Co, thanks for the shout out! There actually is a functional use to the rotating Tachy bezel. Heuer released that feature in vintage Autavias from about 1967 to the 1980s. Link below explains it in great detail, but for the Clif Notes version: "While the other major brands (such as Rolex and Omega), with their fixed tachymeter bezels, could offer the sporty look and show the average speed for one measured mile, it was only Heuer that allowed the racer (or his navigator) to compute average speeds over consecutive miles. "
We included it as a nod/throwback to those vintage racers.

Great video and what a great guest very interesting
Great episode.
cool name..Simon Wolf
Did Doug DeMuro review your Vanquish? He reviewed one where he talked about the transmission swap. That is a awesome piece of machinery!
Great show .
Def recommend WOlf winders have had mine about a year now no problems and runs smoothly
Just from the thumbnail I thought you had somehow been able to invite F.P. Journe :P
You are absolutely right. Stockholm is beautiful :)
Love my Wolf winder.
NZ and Oz love our cars dude, motorsport is huge down here. The V8 Supercar Series is an institution and McLaren is Bruce Mclaren, he was a Kiwi.
There is an American watch company called lum tech that made a watch with a full lume dial and contrasting lume for numbers and indices. Usually a military style watch and quarts but amazing quality. Also they make mechanical
I cant find that watch specs page on their site. Is it not up yet?
Also matt if you want a full lume dial you can look at Timex haha

was going to buy a crappy winder off amazon until watching this. in the long run, the Wolf winders are not that much more expensive if you consider you'd have to replace your cheap winders every year when they break
Hello from România
Isnt there a like 50 Bucks full glow lume Timex on amazon?
"You shouldn't be shoving your mitt in your jean pocket anyway".....couldn't have said it better myself.
didn't expect to see my local area on here. South Wales manufacturing is unfortunately no more.
haha same, shame South Wales is basically dead now. Thanks Thatcher
FP Journe does a full loom dial
Dibs on the roadster winder
Is it just me or did Wolf dis Weis a bit by suggesting he wouldn’t have really nice straps (before being corrected)?
Lum Tec does a full lum watch face
Who will be the first watch maker to add a "fuel gauge" complication into their movement that will give users a clear indication of how many turns it needs to be wound?
Sounds like a super precise take on a power reserve. Great idea.
Well, assuming a power reserve complication is directly indicative of how wound up the watch is, I'm pretty sure you'd have to literally be blind for said complication to not all ready be immediately intuitive as to how many times you have to wind up your watch the moment you do so, which would make wearing a watch pretty pointless, wouldn't it? I guess the real question is how long will it take for a watchmaker to put some script on their power reserve dial to read out how many turns to full at each interval instead of just a straight gauge
A lang or panerai has done it! Cant remember which.
The hell kinda upload time is this my dude?
Seiko is better than Rolex
Buwsur
Grand Seiko edges out Rolex in execution and manufacturing but not in long lasting design or marketing
First Comment and First view :D
I don’t understand why people buy winders . It’s like idling the car all night in order to drive it in the morning to go to work . Let the watch rest!
For the same reason that people with multiple cars keep them on battery tenders
Double fisting I thought a rapper made that up..is it a thing
