Episode 49: What Is A Tourbillon And Why You Should Care (or Not)

 

Episode 49 brings the team back together for the usual QA format. No upfront jokes from me though because unfortunately the episode begins on quite a sad note.

(0:20) Goodbye to two beloved members of the watch community
(3:40) What is the use of a tourbillon (but first a little bit of a detour)?
(11:30) Switching gears from the technical to the commercial
(20:05) How much do brands value « casual » watch buyers relative to hard core collectors
(25:45) Breaking news: special delivery for Rob from Ming
(35:00) Who is the new Gerald Genta? Is it Alon? Maybe Rob?
(55:44) Final wrap-up
