He is back! Last seen in Episode 40, he now returns for Episode 80! Mr Fratello, and good friend of the show, RJ Broer, joins us again for another bout of insightful and informed watch talk with the CP7 Boys. 

Catching up on what has been happening in the watch world, we first delve into George Kern's House of Brands and the recent relaunch of Gallet at Geneva Watch Days. Find out RJ's, and our, take on whether there was a need for the brand to return. Are Breitling and the House of Brands taking a risk by having such a close association in their boutiques? Is Gallet Breitling's version of how Tudor is to Rolex? 

Talking of which, Rolex is a brand that is loved by many and loathed by others, but it always gets the watch world talking. They have uncharacteristically re-released a watch: their Rolex Perpetual Padellone Annual Calendar. A reissue of their classic Reference 8171, in a bold move to hit the complicated dress watch space hard. Which raises the question... is Rolex Shame now over? Want to know what that is? Listen in and find out why the tables may have finally been turned! Plus, has the Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop hype finally died, or is it still uncontrollably raging on? 

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk Gallet, annual calendars, Bioceramic pocket watches and THAT shame, with one of our favourite guests, and remember, wear your Rolex with pride!

Join us on a journey into old world high  horology, elegance and independent watchmaking. The CP7 Boys are back to bring you an exclusive interview with the acting-CEO of Louis  Moinet, Kurt Kupper, on the eve of Geneva Watch Days 2026, and before we fly out to Geneva. Louis Moinet was the watchmaker, if you didn’t know, responsible for inventing the first chronograph, in a pocket watch in 1816, one of the most popular and enduring complications in horological history. 

Kurt tells us how Louis Moinet’s celebratory 1816 Chronograph wristwatch is rapidly becoming their flagship piece, focused on heritage and affordability alongside some of the most impressive haute horology and use of materials (some older than the earth!) in independent watchmaking.

No show about Loius Moinet would be complete without discovering the achievements and creativity of their former CEO Jean-Marie Schaller, a real visionary who sadly passed away in May this year.  Discover how he rejuvenated the company and turned it into the exclusive collector’s fan favourite it is today, and what Kurt and his team have planned to continue that legacy and beyond. 

So buckle up and enjoy the ride, let the orchestra play as we take a magical journey into classical luxury watchmaking and opulent old world charm, with a modern twist, as Kurt Kupper talks all things Louis Moinet.

As the festive season approaches, it feels only fitting to explore the holy trinity of watchmaking.

The big three, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin: the watchmakers hailed as the crème de la crème, the pinnacle, and whose watches come with the added prestige of being “trinity” watches for their owners. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself WHY?

Join the CP7 Boys as Parm and Andy take a deep dive into all three brands and unpick revelation after revelation about each of them until you’re asking yourself is this even a debate?!

Using five unique criteria we scrutinise legends, myths, misconceptions with lost horological highlights and achievements which will be your guiding light to the answer to the most posing conundrum, is the trinity:

Eternal, Ready For A Reshuffle or Obsolete?

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as this debate get spicy, heated and downright dogged in this very special episode.

What determines the meaning of a grail watch? Is it a horological equivalent of the legendary Holy Grail, a symbolic object of spiritual and mystical perfection sought after by such luminaries as King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, the wacky team at Monty Python, and all the way to fearless adventurer Indiana Jones? Or is it simply a glorified wishlist item, shaped by hype, heritage, and the ever-shifting tides of taste? In this episode, Parm and Andy explore the grail’s many forms and guises: from auction desirables and independent watch heroes, to deeply personal and emotionally charged obsessions that defy mainstream logic.

Taking the views of friends and listeners to heat up the conversation, the boys then move to their own personal opinions, where this wicked debate becomes a reflective analysis of what they believe a grail watch means to them today. Has this changed compared to when their love for the hobby began? Is it really one masterpiece that completes a collection, or is it an elusive moving target, always just out of reach? Or can it be easier to achieve than you'd first think? Our horologically charged duo unpack the psychology behind the chase, the role of storytelling, and the way one's desire evolves with experience, exposure and identity.

So listen in to find out all of the above, and if the grail watch is a myth, a feeling, or a rite of passage? Does the grail reveal more about the seeker than the object itself, giving away more than meets the eye? Answers to these questions and more will be revealed, as this episode invites you to rethink the quest, not as a destination, but as a journey that redefines popular opinion.

We'd like to say a big thank you to our friends and listeners (and great collectors) for their comments and feedback to make this show truly unforgettable:

From titanium canvases to iridescent guilloché, Armand shares how emotion, elegance, and experimentation shape his horological philosophy.

Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast!

To mark 260 years of one of the most important brands in British watchmaking and horological history, Arnold & Son, we speak to their engaging CEO and consummate gentleman, Pascal Béchu.

Sit back and learn about some of the most mind-blowing historical stories about the brand, created by John Arnold and his son John Roger Arnold in 1764. Discover how he went from a humble watchmaker to making watches for a  British king, a world famous nautical explorer, and the home of timekeeping, London's Greenwich Observatory. It doesn't end there the discussion continues with John Arnold's watchmaking relationship, legacy and collaborations with one Abraham Louis Breguet, and were they really BOTH behind the creation of the tourbillon?

It's not just a history lesson, we talk about modern-day Arnold & Son and how the brand, under Pascal, is striving to keep every element of the brand's history and heritage alive and up to date in this modern watchmaking era.

It is indeed an honour and a pleasure to mark the launch of Arnold & Son's brand new Constant Force Tourbillon today too, with them choosing Chrono Passion 7 to be the first podcast to talk about it and discuss it before Watches & Wonders 2025 where it will be launched as their novelty for the big show.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk history, modernity, and a possible inspiration for MBNF and their Legacy Machine.

Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast!

Our latest guest has recently quite literally taken watch-social media by storm. In the space of just a few months, Emily Marsden and her Secret Diary of a Watch Girl Instagram account has not only led to meteoric rise in popularity in an unbelievable way, but her collaboration shows with YouTube's Just Hast have catapulted her to heights even she cannot believe.

We find out how this young lady from Bolton, a town in the north of England, went from hanging out at Watches of Switzerland in Manchester as a school girl, to being a champion for the incredible brand IWC, now being invited to hang out regularly at Watches & Wonders.

What, or who, was her inspiration and why does she love IWC so much? Find out this and much more, including her favourite IWC and the real reason you should be looking the brand, not forgetting the innovations of watchmaking royalty and nonagenarian Kurt Klaus. Omega has the Moonwatch and space, Rolex has the rich history and marketing led aspirational appeal, what is it that IWC needs to do to put in in the eyes and minds more of watch enthusiasts and buyers alike?

On a lighter note, beyond her public persona, Emily reveals her extreme watch nerdery, complete with meticulous spreadsheets that even left horology icon Roger Smith speechless! 

We even sneak in a quick Watches & Wonders 2025 prediction, so for lots of fun, journey stories, and, of course, a ton of watch talk, buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk to the very engaging Emily Marsden.

Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast!

Sit back and chill out as we talk to the man with the most soothing voice in watch-related podcasting, Mike Stockton from Fratello On Air. A good friend of ours and a man who definitely knows his watches (and a thing or two about collecting sneakers!). 

Find out how persistence got him, an American living in Europe, his big break in the industry and why you should never give up chasing your passion. He has a strong family background in collecting, which led to his love for vintage watches, although he does also have a respect for the modern pieces of today. Discover which pieces triggered his addiction to watches, especially vintage, and why the chase is what drives most collectors to chop and change so much, leading to the question, are we ever really happy?

Hear all about why he loves Fratello, his love for London and the UK, and why he's looking forward to this year's Watches and Wonders 2025 so much above the others.

There are also the regular CP7 broad conversations, including brands that need to be brought back, which ones need to up their game and why the Breitling Navitimer is such a collectible watch for both vintage and modern enthusiasts.

So it's time to talk, vintage and modern Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, TAG Heuer,  Breitling, and of course, much much more. So buckle up and enjoy the ride for another dose of fun and watch talk with the CP7 Boys and the man with the velvet voice.

Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast.

Have you ever considered giving up on the generic world of mainstream watches? Well, hold that thought! In this latest episode, our guest is a collector deeply immersed in the mysterious world of independent watches but still retains a love for the watches from where it all began.
Join us with Ollie Al-Falah, YouTube's "The Watch Collector", who loves a mainstream brand, but became so engrossed in the independent watch world that he ended up investing in the company he bought his first high horology independent watch from, UK-based The Limited Edition.
Find out how HYT was his gateway drug into this weird and wonderful rabbit hole and how he moved on from Casio, Omega, Rolex, (and Animal!) to Bulgari, Czapek and the incredible Laurent Ferrier, with its world-famous finishing.
This episode shows how these artisans of the watch world really do challenge the norm, awaken our inner risk-taker, and perhaps bring out the peacock in all of us (to an acceptable and tasteful degree of course!).

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we delve deep into the symbiotic coexistence of mainstream and independent watch brands.

The infamous Quartz Crisis in the 1970s forced a lot of great historical watch brands to close their doors, with Angelus probably being one with the most heritage. However, today, Angelus has been reinvented in a more modern incarnation, and at the helm is its engaging and driven Managing Director, Pascal Béchu, who we shoot the breeze with in our latest episode.

Find out how Pascal deals with retaining the DNA of vintage Angelus in the new watch company whist keeping it relevant and up to date with its sports chronograph history. Hear about how releasing complications from the past need to be done alongside adding complications never used previously in its heyday. 

Talking of complications we also discuss how the monopusher on the amazing Instrument de Vitesse (Speed Instrument) was inspired but the collective artisan genius of F.P Journe, Vianney Halter, both famous for their eponymous brands, and Denis Flageollet, the watchmaking genius behind De Bethune. Not to mention the chronograph history of the Chronodate (formerly known as the Chronodato) and the incredibly important Doctor’s Watch complication. 

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we rev up and talk sport watches, sports cars and the future of a brand whose future is very strategically steeped in the past.

What makes a watch contrarian? Going against the grain? Rejecting popular belief? Or just an appreciation of watches which might not hit everyone’s radar but certainly captures the attention of a contrarian few?

Find out the answer to this most posing of questions as we welcome journalist, enthusiast and all round engaging top guy, Thor Svaboe onto the CP7 Podcast. Thor enlightens us with the answers to all of these questions and more.  He's seen more than his fair share of weird and wonderful watches being an accomplished writer with an edge, who started at Time + Tide, and  rapidly moved on to elite publications such as Revolution, Oracle Time, Fratello and  more recently to the big daddy of them all, Hodinkee.

So if you want to know your Aera from your Omega and your Furlan Marri from your Patek Philippe, buckle up and enjoy the ride as we take a highly enjoyable trip into the contrarian wilderness of the watch world.

Nobody Does It Better or so Carly Simon’s song went, but when it comes to putting on the premier watch show in London, nobody does it better than that Rob Corder’s WatchPro.

Andy flew in specially for this event so take this opportunity to follow the boys’ two day experience at the Londoner Hotel in the UK capital’s Leicester Square. Nicknamed the unofficial CP7 Christmas Party it was an experience from beginning to end. We meet new and old friends, and brands that the boys have been itching the see for a while like Brew Watches, Favre Leuba, M.A.D Editions, Nivada Grenchen and many more. 

We also find out why cool French brand Hegid feels like a family affair and why everyone is going crazy about the stone dials of Dennison!

So buckle up and enjoy the ride London style as we are back for this year’s exciting instalment of WatchPro Salon!

We're back for another episode of the CP7 Podcast Unplugged, with minimal editing, and the boys just shooting the breeze with what's been happening with them recently. 

Catch up with what they have been up to over the last couple of weeks and also hear their take on the most controversial Patek Philippe watch ever released, and definitely the most controversial watch released this year, the Cubitus. Is this really the new 5711? Is is ugly or an evolution of sports watches and the shape of things to come? Is it really a copy of the Cartier Santos? Listen in and find out their take on it and what did Thierry Stern really mean with his comments on why the Cubitus has been received so unceremoniously?

Join us as we talk to Huiy Tang, Co-Founder and the marketing maestro behind RZE Watches.

Assembled for adventure since 2020, RZE has been building timepieces for the everyday adventurer, pushing boundaries in quality and value again and again. Greatly inspired by the use of titanium in the aerospace industry for its strength, weight and look, and being a brand so competitively priced in its target market we find out how such stylish, durable and functional watches can be created at these highly competitive price points.

Hear how Huiy shares that spirit of adventure that he loves, and how he’d rather live the simple life, and appreciate the great outdoors with the pursuits it brings, rather than buy that big house and Lamborghini, which is a mindset that impressively flows through the other founders of the brand, Travis and Clarence. Huiy also explains why the tool watch market is the perfect choice for RZE, with a keen association with sustainability projects such as Canada’s Project Forest which sets out to rewild Canada’s local landscape, and a range of outdoor activity and highly durable tools and products.

So put on your best outdoor adventure gear, and lace up your boots, so you can buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk to Huiy from this very unique and cool brand.

Immerse yourself in La Dolce Vita as the CP7 Boys talk to Mo Coppoletta, an avid De Bethune collector, tattoo artist and designer, as well as the man and mind behind Italy’s newly launched and stylish independent watch brand, Gagà Laboratorio.

Joining us from Verona in Italy, London-based Mo’s passion for style and flair in his debut watch, the Labormatic, is there for all to hear, but it’s his quest for the finest quality that only a good watch can have, that will win you over in this show. Like the great movie La Dolce Vita's director, Frederico Fellini, he shares that  “Sweet Life” passion for making sure that feeling good is a priority, with watches and just about anything meaningful to us as individuals in life, and to never compromise that feeling. You will get a sense of how he puts his heart and soul into everything he does, especially when designing the Labormatic.

Design is one of the most important qualities of a watch, particularly in the creative independent watchmaking space, and we get to hear about the incredible design influences behind both versions of the new Gagà Laboratorio Labormatic, the Cinquanta and the Bauhaus. Discover how they are based on 1950s Milanese-inspired industrial designs, stylish Italian scooters,  Smeg kitchen appliances, the Porsche 356 and surprisingly San Giorgio fans! Listen in as we unravel many strands of these 20th century design icons from the 50s and 60s in the DNA of this remarkable watch.

The boys first saw this watch at Geneva Watch Days 2024 and immediately felt compelled to talk to the man behind the vision, so buckle up and enjoy the ride as we revel in an Italian and CP7  “settimo cielo”.

To mark the 1st birthday of the CP7 Podcast, which also happens to be our landmark 40th episode, we have an extremely special guest on to talk watches and a few other unexpected topics too! The CP7 Boys chat to none other than Robert Jan Broer, affectionately known as RJ, the Founder of Europe's leading watch enthusiast online platform Fratello. Not only is he the main man at Fratello, he is also the creator of Speedy Tuesday on social media and a huge Omega Speedmaster collector.

No show with RJ can start without a Speedmaster kick off and boy do we get into some depth about how important it is in the watch icon hierarchy, and how many different models have been made, including a red Speedmaster Racing Michael Schumacher Edition, that Andy had handled which was owned by former Williams and McClaren Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya.  

You'll be blown away by what RJ thinks is the most important watch made in the history of the watch industry, as it's most certainly not what you think!

The boys also get RJ's valuable personal yet experienced insight into what will be a future icon that hasn't quite made it to that "label" yet, and what he rules out as not quite making the cut, of course giving his reasons why. Listen in to RJ's opinion on what is collectible and what is not as he uses the very interesting Porsche 911 vs Porsche Boxster collectibility debate. Finally what brands need a bit more recognition due to merit and continuous improvement rather than hype? So let's talk Omega, Rolex, Cartier plus many more.

For these answers, great insights and a lot of fun, buckle up and enjoy the ride as we mark this monumental show with one of the boys' most favourite and fun episodes so far.

Yes he’s back, back again! 
The resident gentleman of The CP7 Podcast, Mr Martin Green. Interrupting his busy schedule in the Netherlands, Martin finally prioritised between being Editor At Large for Watch Time USA magazine, and the GPHG Academy’s voting panel to take his place as the unofficial third member of Chrono Passion 7! 

This episode was supposed to be the CP7 Geneva Watch Days Review Part 2 but the  opportunity of having Martin on was too good to pass up. So as Martin missed Geneva Watch Days 2024 he asks the boys a few questions to calm his FOMO before the real watch talk begins. 

Do we really need a quest for the world’s thinnest watch? Why are some three dial chronographs called Bicompax and not Tricompax? Which independent brands are the ones to look out for? But most importantly, which watches have been caught on the radar of our trio?

So buckle up, sit back, and enjoy the ride for a lot of watch talk, fun and special insights from your favourite watch-related podcast!

In this very special episode, the CP7 Boys are joined by Rikki Daman from the stellar Scottish Watches Podcast.
It was a great day to record the show, as not only did Scottish Watches just release their latest collaboration with cool Swiss brand Formex, the Essence Skye that very day, but the banter is off the chart from the get go!

Scottish Watches is the most popular watch podcast right now (apart from CP7 of course!) and was started by Rikki in 2019 whilst a complete newbie in the watch world. Hear about how, in that short time, Scottish Watches have collaborated with multiple brands including Swatch and H. Moser & Cie and become the juggernaut they are now, and what exactly is the real story behind the H.Moser x Scottish Watches collaboration Streamliner (or Memeliner as Rikki calls it). Was it really an April Fool's joke? Find out here.

It ended in 2019, but the boys find out about the the old Basel World and the difference between that, and today's premier watch show event, Watches & Wonders. Have they both been surpassed by Dubai Watch Week?

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as the boys and Rikki shoot the breeze, banter each other, and talk watches in this special show.

Want to learn about one of the most creative British watch brands in the watch world? Listen in as the boys talk to José Miranda of Isotope Watches and uncover the creative genius he and his brand humbly emanate.

Hear about how Gerald Genta inspired Isotope's first ever watch, the Jumping Hour Rider, and the pitfalls and challenges José faced in producing it. Starting his watch business in 2016 it hasn't taken long to get recognised by the big players in the industry, as Isotope made their initial collaboration watch with none other than Wei Koh's Revolution Magazine with their mirror-dialled Mercury. At first glance, this and the new MoonShot Chronograph, the Flyway, The Goutee D'Eau, and the yet-to-be in main production Jumping Hour OVNI may all seem like completely different styles of watches, but you'll be fascinated to hear how the rich Isotope design language and DNA runs through the veins of all of them, with more Easter Eggs, and spiritual and mystical links than The Da Vinci Code.

Inspired by The Egg of Columbus, discover how José won't stop until he makes the impossible possible, fueled by his desire and passion to be unique, and try what nobody else has. So if you thought Isotope was simply a "quirky" British brand (via Portugal), think again and fall in love with the underrated but most certainly highly respected, creative mind of the main man at Isotope Watches.

Get ready for an incredible experience, which may have also inadvertently unearthed a watch perfect for the next installment in James Cameron's Terminator movie series!

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we delve deep into the mindset of a real gentleman and visionary in the watch world.

Join us in another Unplugged show! No editing, no deletes, just pure unadulterated watch talk. Oh, and for the first time, the CP7 boys are enjoying a beer (or two!) live on air.

With all the uncertainty in the watch world right now, the hype looks to have well and truly died down; is it finally safe for us enthusiasts to have some fun, and not have to worry about the investment-inspired "hype-class" polluting the hobby?
That question has inspired this show... don't judge a watch by its cover, can we  have fun and wear the watches we want… irrespective of what anyone else says?

So temporarily tear up your Rolex or Patek Philippe waiting lists, and let’s  get into some other brands, for our fix of horological fun.  MB&F, Bell & Ross, Maurice Lacroix, Franck Muller, and even Ulysse Nardin all get put to the test CP7 style!

So buckle up and enjoy the ride, as the boys get into another fun filled, and thought provoking CP7 Unplugged show.

A very special thanks to Alon Ben Joseph from Amsterdam's legendary Ace Jewelers for loaning us the review watches.

Summer is here and it's holiday season! But which watch do you take with you on your vacation? Is one enough?
Inspired by Parm’s recent trip to Singapore and Malaysia, where he had three different holiday experiences on one trip, the boys decide which watches would fit in for each stage.
Listen in as they discuss which watches to take on a holiday for (1) travelling and sights, (2) a city break, and (3) the ultimate summer holiday, the beach vacation.
To make this a challenge worthy of the CP7 boys, the usual suspects like Patek Philippe, Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Cartier, or IWC would NOT be counted. This challenge allows them to highlight brands or models that aren’t as high profile but carry some serious watch credentials, particularly for a summer holiday.  So forget your Submariner, Speedmaster, Black Bay, or Santos, and let’s take a refreshing look at something different for the most fun time of the year.
We also find out what the boys have been up to, which includes an exciting merchandise collaboration with Totte from REM Straps, and a catch-up with listeners of the show, and top guys, The Watch Brothers Neil and Mark.
So Buckle up and enjoy the ride in this special summer show which should heat up your summer holiday watch choices for the season ahead!!!
