What are the watches that really change the industry around them? In this episode, Tim and Chris tackle a question that sounds overwhelming in its simplicity: when you strip away the hyperbole and adjust, as much as possible, for passionate fandom, which watches really made the biggest difference? To the tastes of those collecting them; to the outlook of those manufacturing them and occasionally, to the very notion of what a luxury watch can or should be.
The task was so daunting it had to be split into two episodes: in this episode we discuss, chronologically, the Richard Mille RM27, the MB&F Legacy Machine 1, the Tudor Black Bay, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo and the Omega Globemaster Constellation (yes, really. You'll have to listen to find out why...)
I have to flag a really annoying error in the episode: when discussing the Globemaster we mistakenly refer to it as the “Annual Calendar” but we meant the time-only Globemaster. The Annual Cal came out the following year, in 2016. In terms of why we think the watch is game-changing, the distinction is immaterial, but obviously it is an error and we apologise.
