This week, watch editor and producer Devin Pennypacker joins the podcast to chat about new releases from Omega, VPC, and ponder what Tudor might do for their 100th anniversary. With these new releases, there are some deeper issues brought to bear that we get into in this episode, from releasing an LE colorway into regular production, to tackling a tricky sophomore release. We even confront the current state of dive watches through the lens of the new Type 39VM, and narrowly avoid an existential crisis.

This week, sneaker industry veteran Nick Engvall returns to the podcast to discuss the state of the enthusiast community. The sneaker world has seen plenty of change in recent years, and there's plenty of similarities to the world of watches, including a few lessons to be learned. In this episode, we chat about the state of enthusiasm across both watches and sneakers, and how might grow beyond the hype driven culture that once dominated. Additionally, there's some car talk thrown in for good measure, so fair warning.

This week I'm joined by Bilal Khan, watch media veteran and current Editor-in-Chief of Teddy Baldassarre, to discuss some highlights of 2025 as the year draws to a close. We chat about the watches from our own collection that got the most wear, as well as watches that left a lasting impression on us. Bilal also gives his impressions of Dubai Watch Week, and we manage to slip in a bit of camera talk for good measure.
