Whiskey&Watches

This episode is the second in our collector conversation series as we sit down with our Redbar Cincy friend Dustin, a Cincinnati native and avid collector. We chat with Dustin about how he got his start in watches (a juicy fruit watch at around age 6) his first watch (a Tissot) and the watch that got him hooked (an omega seamaster chronograph). We then dive into his passion for independent watchma...

Rick from Cincinnati Watch Company returns to talk about the Cincinnati Museum Center, located in the old Union Terminal building. Rick is donating his last remaining Union Terminal watch to the Museum Center in support of their COVID-19 Relief Fund. Anyone donating at least $50 to the fund will be entered for a chance to win the last remaining watch. We also chat with Rick about the pending relea...

Episode 25 and this is a big one! The guys sit down with Zach Weiss to discuss the journey that led to what Worn&Wound is today.  We talk about what got Zach interested in watches, his design background, watches he has owned and currently owns, and what gave him and co-founder Blake the idea to start writing about watches. Zach tells us how Worn&Wound was started, what their first days wer...

On this week's episode, our budy Ryan from our group text joins us! We talk the watches we are wearing and the whiskey we are drinking, and maybe a bit about a certian blue watch that was released what seems like forever ago at this point. But first, Spence and Spangler are both wearing watches on loan from Oris, one of which has a review now up on zeitzwatches.com which you will want to chec...

This is the one we have been teasing for the last several weeks. The guys had the opportunity to chat with Oris North America CEO, VJ Geronimo. VJ was kind enough to send us the Oris ProPilot X (PPX) and the Oris Divers 65 Chrono (with bronze bezel) to review, and both of those feature in this episode (although the reviews will be up soon on OUR NEW WEBSITE! ). In his ten years at the helm of Oris...

The guys have a chat with the husband and wife team, Lauren and Lorenzo, from Lorier Watches. We get into a brief history of how they started Lorier, which led to them quitting their jobs as teachers (World History for Lauren and French and Economics for Lorenzo, both high school) to focus on Lorier full time. We talk about what their idea is of a perfect watch (hint, it involves a famous super sp...

This episode is on a different level everyone! The guys sit down with NAABS founder and vintage Rolex collector @moorewatches to talk about how he got into watch collecting, why vintage, why Rolex, and a few other fun stories. We were introduced to @moorewatches via our friend @cincywatchdoc, who has worked on some of the pieces in his collection, including a Speedmaster that was previously owned...

On this weeks episode, the guys put their own spin on a Fantasy Watch Draft, taking cues from the most popular episode type in watch podcasting, to the most popular type of watch on the market these days. That's right, we are talking Integrated Bracelet Sports Watch Fantasy Draft! This was such a fun episode to record, and should be a fun listen. The guys are also all wearing watches that are...

Spangler has the night off, so Spence and Buzz talk about Spence's new aquisition, the SARX069, better known as the Seiko Presage Turnograph! After talking about the new acquisition, the guys talk about wearability. Spence is wearing his Tudor Black Bay Steel, which has the same case diameter as the Seiko. As one would expect, the two watches wear differently. Spence and Buzz talk about all o...

Spence, Spangler, and Buzz caught up with Brew Watch Company founder Jonathan Ferrer to talk about his watches, what inspires his design, and what might be coming next from Brew! We get into how he started the company, a little bit about his background, but then also what trends we are all seeing in 2020, what colors could be the next big thing, and how interesting it would be to see microbrand wa...

On this week's episode, Spence, Spangler, and Buzz talk watches and things to come for the podcast. The guys are working on some new things, including a youtube channel. Buzz has a watch in ON LOAN!

On this episode, Spence, Spangle, and Buzz chat with Rick from Cincinnati Watch Co. We know Rick from RedBar Cincy (where else) and talk about what got him into watches, what started Cincinnati Watch Co. and some things he has his eye on as a collector.

Yes, that is 4 W's and 2 &'s, all in the same title! We know that our listener is all about alliteration! Spence, Spangler, and Buzz cover the watches (or some of them) released over the weekend at the Watches & Wonders virtual trade show. They each pick the watch they think is the coolest, as well as a watch they think they would actually be able to pull off as a daily wear. It...

This is really exciting for Spence, Spangler, and Buzz. We get a chance to sit down with Justin from Monta Watches (via videocall of course) to talk about the brand's history, his take on the Baselworld debacle, and a few other things. He lets us know about a few exciting things coming (or already announced on Monday) from Monta, and answers a few of our questions about Monta and Everest. Als...

In this episod, Spence, Spangler, and Buzz talk about the disappointing news: NO NEW PATEK's THIS YEAR! Ha! Actually the discussion centers around the announcement from Rolex/Tudor that there will be no new releases in 2020. Tudor Talk and  Rolex Rant ensue. In light of the assurance that there will be no Tudor FOMO, the guys talk about What We're Watching, what watch could be next on th...

This week, Spence, Spangler, and Buzz discuss Watches We Would Want (if they would just change one thing!). We hinted at it last week with Zach, but there are several watches which we love, but once we see one minor detail, we can't unsee it. Whether it has to do with the slightly awkward fit of the Hamilton Intramatic Chrono (a fine watch we all love), the thickness of the Omega Seamaster 30...

Spence, Spangler, and Buzz talk with Zach from Cincy Strap Co. We get into how he got into watches, what watches he has had, and what makes up a current portion of his collection.

We also talk about another special project he has on his horizon, which...

In this episode, Buzz joins us as we record remotely (we have been doing this since before it was cool!). All three of us have a Fresh Forum Find. We then spend some time on Spangler's Rolex Rant, go into a brief Monta/Microbrand Minute, Spence has a Seiko Second, and Buzz brings it home with some movie watch-spotting!

In this episode, our friend Buzz returns! He poses an interesting question that many of us collectors have probably faced in some form at one point. Spangler reviews as many of the Grand Seiko releases as we have time for, and each of us has a Fresh Forum Find!

In this week’s episode, Spence and Spangler each have a Fresh Forum Find, and talk briefly about Spence’s new acquisition that finally made it Stateside! They also discuss Seiko’s Strategy if releases in a post cancelled trade show world, and try to talk about all of the Seiko releases they can find information on!  There is some Tudor Talk about Tudor’s timeline for releases, and a Rolex Rant!

Friend of the show, and founding member of the Time Well Spent group chat on our iphones, Buzz, stops by to review his collection and talk about his first RedBar experience!

Spence and Spangler each have a Fresh Forum Find, talk about the Corona Virus effects on Baselworld, and talk a Defunct Design from Spence's hometown. 

Shout out to all the fine gentlemen (so far no ladies, let's change that!) who frequent the Redbar Cincy get-togethers! This episode features the Redbar Redux, an overview of the fun stuff Spence saw at the January meet-up. Spangler also has a defunct design with some local appeal.
