On this week’s edition of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, Rick, and David spend another delightful hour covering all the latest from the watch world. They go green with a discussion of sustainability efforts in the watch industry (including a drop-in from Oris CEO Rolf Studer), think deep about why people even bother buying luxury watches, and confront the horrible truth behind Rolex’s new titanium behemoth. Plus: another alarming watch theft, an auction house gets eviscerated on social media, and a vintage Seiko that doesn’t quite hold up. You can listen below or on the podcast player of your choice.
