Title:

Follow the Listener: Habring, Kudoke & Lang & Heyne (Bonus)

Description: One listener email, one road trip. Andy found the show through our episode on Maria and Richard Habring, asked an authorized dealer about a Chrono-Felix, then wrote in asking about two of his favorite German brands. So we followed his route: from Habring² in Austria, to Stefan Kudoke, the graffiti kid turned award-winning engraver whose Kaliber 1 shares parts with the Felix, to Lang & Heyne in Dresden, a brand named after the princes on a porcelain wall as long as a football field. Along the way: Georg the Bearded, Augustus the Strong, a steel sports watch nobody expected, and a founder who went back to his own bench. New here? Dig into the back catalog. New episodes every Thursday.

S02E14: What's the Real Cost of Collecting?

Description:

Watches cost money. Everybody knows that. This episode is about the costs nobody warns you about. A man brings his grail to a meetup and then admits he never wears it, and that quiet confession opens up the real question: what does collecting actually cost us, past the price tag? We walk down four costs, lightest to heaviest, with a dead French philosopher, a runaway dressing gown, a ninety minute drive to buy a watch I swore I would not buy, and a turn at the end that reframes the whole bill. Philosophical, honest, and a little self deprecating. No prior watch knowledge required. Bring the friend who has something in a safe.

S02E13: "Made" in Italy: Panerai, Bvlgari, Venezianico, Unimatic, and Giuliano Mazzuoli

(...with a special hello to my family in Italy...thank's for the suggestion to have fun with this one.)

DESCRIPTION

Is Italy even a real watchmaking country? Buckle up. This is the fun one. We start with Sylvester Stallone falling in love with a giant Italian navy watch on a movie set in 1996 and accidentally launching a global cult, and we use it to make a cheeky but serious argument: Italy’s gift to watches is taste, not gears. We cover Panerai, the Florentine legend that is made in Switzerland, including a straight- talking take on its recent comeback and why you should probably buy one used. Bulgari, the Roman jeweler that humiliated the Swiss by going thin, with about ten world records in eleven years. And the young Italian independents writing the next chapter: Venezianico, Unimatic, and Giuliano Mazzuoli. No prior watch knowledge required. Bring the friend with the dinner-plate watch.
