This Watch Life

In this episode we discuss two of the reports that were just published from Swatch Group and Richemont. Although some brands and some models of watches may be doing better than ever, there are definitely others that are suffering.

In today's episode we were inspired by a question from @officially_uncertified about which category of watch we would choose if we could only wear one for the rest of our lives. The problem, however, is how these categories are even defined!

It's new watch day! Vu finally was able to purchase an Otsuka Lotec No. 6. This has been years in the making, and so far it seems that it was worth the wait.

In this episode we talk about a watch we have been borrowing for a month or so, the Atelier Wen Perception Xia . Can a 3000 EUR Chinese watch measure up against other watches in that price range, or even higher? And does Vu already want to buy one? NOTE: We have borrowed this watch directly from Atelier Wen. We will be sending it back when we are done oogling it and taking photos. No money or comp...
