Whiskey&Watches

On this week's episode, Spence and Spangler welcome back VJ Geronimo from Oris! We chat about the new releases that just dropped. The Diver 65 with 12 hour bezel and caliber 400 is sure to be a hit. VJ revealed some interesting details about this watch, and movement production, that I am sure you all will find very interesting. Also, the new Aquis mother of pearl dials are reminiscent of the...

This week, friend of the show @motorjon68 joins Spence to talk about where we sit within our watch collecting mindset. Lately, there has been less and less that creates the got to have it urge. While this isn't a bad thing, it does change the mindset that we had earlier on in our collecting days of constantly chasing new releases. This conversation allows us to be reflective, and think about...

This week's episode is a real treat. Spence, Spangler, and Buzz sit down with Dane from Bourbon Watch Company to talk about his upcoming release, the Rue Canal. The design of the watch is inspired by New Orleans landmarks, and angles a bit dressy. However, depending on the dial color, it has quite a bit of range. Spangler has been able to go hands on, and is quite impressed with the fit. We a...

In this week's episode, we play on the topic that our buddies over at Wristcheese Radio just dropped. We are going Mount Rushmore, but with a twist. Not going to give this one away, you'll just have to listen for yourself!

This week's episode is a new flavor for all of us. For the first time in 122 episodes, Spence, Spangler, and Buzz are recording in person JUST THE THREE OF US! This is sort of a collection inspection, banter type episode. I have to say, this was one of our most fun to record. As much as we enjoy hanging out virtually, recording in person was an absolute blast. We got to see watches that we ha...

This week's episode is a fun three part-er! In the introduction, Buzzy and Spence talk about Wind Up, do a normal drink check/wrist check, and get through some FFF.  In the second part, Spence and Zach from Cincy Strap Co. come to you live from the road to talk about what we hope to see at Wind Up Chicago! In part three, Spence and Zach come to you again from the car studio on our return trip...

This episode is a two parter. In the first half of the episode, Spence and Buzz exchange the usual pleasantries, discuss some FFF, and talk a bit about Norqain. The second part of the episode features Spence's conversation with Katlen Schmidt of Tenn and Two. We talk watches, podcasting, her new gig at Norqain, and what podcasts she has been listening to lately (this takes a turn, but stick w...

This episode concludes the Watch TriPod Alliance's jaunt through the decades. We get through some more recent honorable mentions, but then dive right into our main topic in chronological order. Spangler, ever the wild card is up first with three selections from the 1940s. He reaches back the furthest out of anyone. Spence takes a decade near and dear to his heart, the 1980s. While we joke abo...

On this week's episode we are short a Spangler. You hate to see it but had to know that it was going to happen. Spence and Buzz talk the new Oris releases, a new bracelet from Forstner, and some summer reading materials. We also have some fresh forum finds and an excellent beer review for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

On this episode we keep it short (relatively) and sweet. We talk about Spangler's new MoonSwatch, the effect it has had on the watch universe, and the WRONG way to collect watches. Hint, it's not necessarily what you might think. Enjoy!

In this episode Spence and Spangler talk summer activities, cookouts, and a little bit of summer watches. We get less into specifics about the watches, but talk more about another summer staple: the cookout. What to bring (sides, beverages, seating) what to wear (shirts, shorts, watches) and how to host! This one was a lot of fun shooting the summer breeze, we hope you enjoy

This one is a fun conversation. It takes place at the end of the episode after FFF and the usual pleasantries. Are we over Rolex hype? Are we over Rolex itself? How has Omega shifted their focus? What does it mean to be a collector/enthusiast? No idea, it is still fun, but not in the same way as it used to be. We muse on this for a bit and it is a fun conversation. We hope you enjoy!

This week's episode is a bit of a grab bag as it were. We talk watch spotting at the neighborhood cookout, expensive straps on cheap watches, being bitten by the gold bug, and how green a bronze bracelet will make your wrist. There is also a series (yes, series) of FreshForumFinds! Enjoy!

Episode 113 has everything: Lange One, Doxa, the new Oris PPX caliber 400, whisky, whiskey, vermouth, dogs, Jurassic Park action figures,  We're Back  references. The only thing this episode doesn't have is Spud Webb.  In all seriousness, Spence, SPANGLER!, and Buzz had the opportunity to chat with Analog Shift founder James Lamdin to talk watches. Our buddy Cory from Method Vermouth pro...

Episode 112 is an interesting topic. We tackle an interesting take on a "grail" watch. There is one catch, you have to sell off the rest of the collection (with some caveats). Spence and Buzz talk about the watch, or watches, they have considered blowing the collection up and buying to be a one watch person.  We also have some Fresh Forum Finds for you, always fun. Don't forget, epi...

This episode starts off less serious than others as we have a few laughs. In all seriousness though, we do have FIVE, yes FIVE, Fresh Forum Finds in this episode. After quite some time off this segment comes roaring back. Also, Buzzy has recently acquired a Forstner Jubilee bracelet for his BB58. We talk about that new acquisition, aftermarket bracelets in general, and what watches they make sense...

This week's episode was teased by our buddies at Spirit of Time podcast. We are exploring the $10k three watch collection. As Spangler was sadly working on his next assignment trip we were honored to have our buddy @ryanwearswatches join us for this episode (which is still brought to you by Manscaped! Use promo code "BUZZCUT" for 20% off and free shipping while you can!).  As you ca...

On this week's episode we are pleased to welcome back Mike Stockton from Fratello Watches! Mike is our most frequent guest, usurping our meme extraordinaire buddy Brodinkee! On this week's episode (once again brought to you by Manscaped, use promo code "Buzzcut" for 20% off and FREE SHIPPING) we talk about the Moonswatch as Mike was lucky enough to acquire one, Breitling's...

This week the triumvirate is back with Spence, SPANGLER, and Buzz together once again. We talk about Spangler's take on Watces&Wonders since he missed last week's episode, and the Fresh Forum Find returns! However, the big news this week is that Spangler is on assignment in Dallas! (Mainly for veterinary school) BUT! Dallas has a Swatch boutique! We talk about the Moonswatch, how man...

All of the alliteration this week as Spence and Buzz take a gander at all of the latest releases from the past week's Watches&Wonders show.  There were definitely some hits, some notable misses, and some curiosities that we are glad to see exist, but are likely unobtanium. This week's episode is once again brought to you by our friends at Manscaped ! We are really enjoying the Perfor...

We have a lot to talk about in this episode as it has been a while since we last talked about WATCHES, but here we go. We start out with the usual pleasantries, and Spence has a new watch addition to talk about. He recently made his decision on what watch to pass down to his third little boy, and the Oris Aquis caliber 400 41.5 is the one. Speaking of new things, this week's episode of the Wh...

This one is another field trip for the podcast as Spence is joined by fellow podcaster Matt from the Spirit of Time Podcast and former guests Michael Pandolfo and Josh Shanks to not talk about watches! The guys do mention what is on their wrist during the standard wrist check/drink check, but this episode is all about Formula 1 and racing in general. The four of us have a shared interest in watchi...

This week's episode is an education for Spence and Buzz as we chat with Method Spirits founder Cory Fitzsimmons to talk vermouth. This spirit is a key ingredient to many cocktails we all love, from Spence's beloved Manhattan, to Buzz's Boulevardier, to the WIS-centric Negroni. A key to a great beverage is quality ingredients, and having tried Method prior to recording, we can easily...

Chances are, if you've read about watches, watch collecting, or watch collectors in the New York Times, you've read an article written by our guest this week. Spence had the privilege of meeting Alexandra on his trip to Vail with Oris. Working as a travel/culture/luxury writer, Alexandra is easily our most well traveled guest, and she was happy to share some of her stories from writing a...

On this week's episode of the show, we welcome our friend Mike Stockton from Fratello Watches! We discuss some of the latest releases, football (as he was stateside) and what we might expect as we head into the upcoming watch fairs. Enjoy!
