Episode 23: LVMH Watch Week, The Best Watch Of The 1990s, And What Makes Rolex So Good?

 

A rollicking episode of The Real Time Show sees Alon and Rob address a gamut of questions from the very current to the very retro. The duo's shared disdain for Roman Numerals is on show, while Rob leans a little too far into the future in his support of the revolutionary SAXEM material by Hublot.

8:34 Why does Hublot get so much criticism? Why is it unjust?
18:16 What is your "10/10 but..." watch?
26:55 What is the best design of the 1990s?
34:51 Automatic winding machines: Yes or no?
40:22 Explaining the success of Rolex
45:08 What is your view on Casio Collaborations?
53:12 Why do people go after vintage watches when they aren't as "good" as modern watches?
