149. How “Hublot” Can You Go?, Tape Your Brown Watch To The Wall, And Double-Denim Design
This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick is back in the proverbial saddle, and the laughs are on high volume again. Ripley is adorned in Tudor cycling gear from head to toe, and Rick admonishes the team by noting their "rubbishment" of Panerai from last week's show, which David wholeheartedly defends. When they get down to business, the "JaGUar" (stet) rebrand is the first item on the docket. (Rick pronounces the word phonetically, which seems to be a British thing.) Then, the guys wax sardonic on a $6.2 million banana "art piece," which segues into a convo about why ABTW doesn't cover watch auctions. Next up, they muse about the pantone color of the year, "mellow brown" and ponder whether or not this will trickle down to watch design. They get serious about Hublot's newest release, complaining about a whole lot of things. As (almost) always, they end with the traditional Hit, Miss, Maybe.

148. Rick Is Missing So Panerai Gets A Kicking And A Trophy Looking For An Award.
This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the opening question is: Where's Rick? Ariel, David, and Ripley ponder Rick's potential whereabouts, with guesses from something related to farming to simply taking a good old-fashioned vacation. The working proletariat goes on without him. Ariel takes the wheel and shares his astonishment at just how many new watch brands are out there; Ripley concurs. If these guys haven't heard of a brand, who on earth could possibly keep up? Jerome Lambert is the next topic of conversation, and the guys ponder his re-assumption of the CEO-ship of Jaeger LeCoultre — is this a demotion? A promotion, of sorts? Ariel thinks going back to the product zone is a promotion; David likens it to sending one's best general onto the battlefield. Ripley discusses the Hamilton Dune and Hamilton's long history of supplying watches for the film industry. (Don't call it a watch — it's a wrist-worn device.) Then, the team deconstructs the new Panerai Submersible, and there's a lot to unpack. They move on to a discussion of where watches fit into the larger luxury landscape. And they can't resist pondering the question of the difference between grade 2 and grade 5 titanium. They end with a question, just as they began: Does Ripley's Honda Fit deserve its own watch?

147. New Balls Please From AP And Hublot, Monochrome Omega, And Some Can't Unsee
This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly,Rick and David are both back, so the happy regulars are all reunited. "Who touched whose Cubitus?" is the first question right off the bat, and hilarity ensues. Next up is a look at a WatchPro article regarding Rolex's exit from the Formula 1 stage. They pause for a moment to ponder a lovely and well-photographed visit to Louis Vuitton's Les Fabriques des Arts Workshop, discussing the positioning of the brand in the larger watch world. Then, they guys turn their attention to Mike Razak's recent column about how "small affordable brands are chipping away at the fortress of high-end brands." Next up is a discussion of new releases, including the Doxa SUB 200T Diamonds series. Everyone seems to be talking about the Jaguar rebrand, and ABTW is no exception. It is the focus of the first round of Hit, Miss, Maybe this week — don't miss it! They also go 'round about the new Audemars Piguet X KAWS Royal Oak Tourbillon Concept Tourbillon Companion Watch and the No-Date Steel Omega Seamaster.

146. The Return Of Universal Genève, What Is A Watch Review, Actually?, And Why (Not) Buy A Pre-Owned Rolex?
This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, two of the usual suspects, host Rick and regular commentator David are MIA, either gallivanting or recuperating — or both. So, to mix it up, we have Ariel, Sean, and Ripley, kicking things off with Sean's observation that the news cycle, which usually slows around now each year, is still busily speeding forward in surprising and compelling ways. Ripley is sipping tea instead of Scotch — maybe he hasn't seen the results of the U.S. elections yet. Ariel cuts to the chase with a discussion of David's article on Universal Genève, which was just purchased and relaunched by Breitling. (Spoiler alert: Sean and Ripley are both fans.) Then, the team gets into a discussion of one of the most discussed articles on ABTW this month: Ariel's Thoughts: What Is (And Isn't) A Watch Review)? Sean explains that the decision to run this article has to do with journalistic integrity, and Ripley underscores the nature of the beast in the context of other industries. Next up is a discussion of the newest Ferdinand Berthoud Chronomètre FB RES Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition watch, the Citizen Series 8 Collection, and the NOMOS Club Sport neomatik 34. Ariel has been vocal about his thoughts on the price premiums for pre-owned Rolex watches. Listen in to learn what all the fuss is about. They close with a roundtable on the effects of this trend on other brands. Omg, what? No, Hit, Miss, Maybe? Don't tell Rick!

145 : GPHG Report - 3 Foot JCB Statue Shirtless On A Jet Ski With A Deconstructed Pocket Watch!
This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel is traveling, so Rick is joined by David and Ripley, and guests Kevin and Matt. They start off with a 69k Omega X Swatch — say what? — That's a $300 watch. But it's for charity. Next up in the queue is talk of the end of the Only Watch auction, which would be the end of an era if it had actually been an era. Talk then turns to the GHPG Awards, and Ripley takes note of the brands not participating, and the significance of that in context. The guys briefly touch on the speculative question of how Tr***'s recent election will affect the watch industry. They wrap, as always, with Hit, Miss, Maybe.
