For this week’s episode of the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, David got lost on the way to his recording studio, so it’s just Ariel and Rick—but they’re joined by Rob Corder from WatchPro and Simon Ryan from Escapement24!

Plus, the future of Oris and Chopard’s new 5th Avenue boutique! Listen below or on the player of your choice.
