OT: The Podcast

We were super excited to feature Wing's watch matchmaking request this week. Mostly because he's got a solid budget and wants something sporty and slightly left of centre. So, we brought it home with offerings from Hublot, A. Lange & Söhne, Urban Jurgensen, F.P. Journe, Vacheron Constantin and everyone's favourite underdog, Rolex.  On top of that, we talk about new releases from Sinn and Bell & Ro...

A lot is happening in today's episode of OT: and all of it is great. First up, we have Diana Chan, winner of Masterchef 2017 in the studio, talking about food, watches, what Patek she's got her eyes on. But we also get her to help out with a particularly tricky watch matchmaker, courtesy of Brian. You see Brian wants a smaller, white dialled watch that can do it all. And by golly Felix and Andy de...

Dan is a watch fan who has it all. And by all we mean not one, but two Rolex Submariners: a birth year and a solid yellow gold number. So what's the problem? Well, he still loves watches but has nothing at the moment that can compete for wrist time with his Subs. This is where Felix and Andy come in, with six brand-new options that can rival the mighty Submariner. Expect Omega, Breitling, Jeager-L...

In one of the trickier watchmaking challenges to date, Andy and Felix have been tasked by a mysterious doctor to find a watch for for a young artist with a penchant for the smaller things in life. But after some initial misunderstandings about the meaning of "not bigger than 36mm", they come up with six actually great options, feat. Oris, Nomos, Rado, Bremont, Stowa and a surprise Mido! They also...

Andy and Felix get on the phone to James Stacey and Jason Heaton, hosts of The Grey NATO podcast. And, after they calm down and stop fanboying over them, they dive into a wide-ranging discussion of watches, cars, gear and changing philosophical approached to watch ownership and purchasing (it got real folks). So, from what it's like to sit in a $15 million McLaren, to the ideal adventure watch and...

We help Enrique find the perfect pilot's watch. Enrique is learning to fly. So it's our mission to find him a watch to mark this milestone. Andy and Felix suit up, unpack the Right Stuff and bust out some – occasionally odd – pilot's watches. Breitling and Rolex make sense. But Bulgari? And that weird, super expensive Seiko. Odd flex but OK. Show notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes/s1e8...

We chat with IWC's dynamic, design-focused CEO and discover the story behind the IWC Portugieser, as well as all the latest Watches & Wonders releases, including the unusual inspiration for those colourful dials. We also discuss the ongoing legacy of the Big Pilot and why one simply doesn't design an iconic watch. Plus one of our listeners wanted advice on what Portofino she should get. So, we wen...

We speak to Patrick Johnson, the man behind the eponymous (and cool) P Johnson Tailors about the Australian take on fine tailoring, creating a global sense of style and why rules about clothes (and watches) aren't always the best idea. And then there's yellow gold Aquanauts and why the Italians have the best taste in watches.  www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes/s1e6 SHOW NOTES: Sneaker Shopping with...

Brad lives on a horse farm in the woods of rural England. Honestly, this is all he needed to say to get Andy and Felix onboard. The fact that he also wants a 'true' GMT for 4000 GBP or less is the cherry on the cake. Turns out great options, including Grand Seiko, Bremont and Omega abound. Plus the perfect cup of coffee.

In a shocking move, Rolex, Patek Philippe, Chopard and Chanel have just announced they are leaving Baselworld. Baselworld pushes back. It's messy and potentially fatal for the embattled watch fair. But what does it mean for the watch industry?   Show notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes/s1e4

We pick up the phone and chat to Chris Alexander, a   professionally trained artist who stumbled into the world of custom watches. Plus a healthy dose of bling and one of the watch internet's living treasures. Oh, and Gene bought a watch – you'll never guess what.     Show notes: The Dial Artist -   https://www.thedialartist.com @TheDialArtist Tony Kelly - https://www.instagram.com/tonykellyworld/...

This week we talk about the watch industry shutting down, Dustin Martin getting in bed with Kennedy, a green Safari, a digital watch worth as much as a car and what to do After Hours. Plus Gene reckons he wants an IWC, but we find some (occasionally whacky) options for him too.

In this first episode of OT: The Podcast, meet hosts Andy Green and Felix Scholz, find out what the pod is about (watches basically), and why it took them so long to get it off the ground. The major topic is -- of course -- how COVID-19 has impacted the watch business. But we also find time to chat about bikies and the Baha Men, as well as help Alrick find a daily diver.   Show notes: Things we've...
