EP36: No, *You're* Terrific

Friday, September 13, 2024 • Duration 38:15

Long time listener, first time caller – this week on B&P, the boys are checking in with our good pal Evan (owner & host of the delightful You're Terrific YouTube channel) to talk about watch collecting and making YouTube watch reviews, along with his penchant for playing bad music (and curating great music), salsa dancing, and a whole lot more. Rob also tries to get to the bottom of "who is actually terrific?"

EP35: Come Sail Away (How *Does* a Regatta Timer Work?)

Friday, August 30, 2024 • Duration 01:32:34

We're not sailors, but the boys are all back in California, recording remotely and happy to pretend for a day that we know how a regatta timer works, with the start of the America's Cup about to kick off in Spain. We're also checking in with all of the newest releases from Geneva Watch Days, the formal introduction of the fall launch calendar from all our favorite brands in Switzerland.

EP26: A Mostly Live, Mostly Serious Awards Show from Geneva

Friday, April 19, 2024 • Duration 01:41:44

You win some, you lose some. And somewhere between splitting the boys between time zones we ran into some technical difficulties in getting all of our Watches & Wonders thoughts transcribed, but fret not — all was not lost, and we are here with a very special episode that was recorded partially in Geneva, and partially back in Burlingame, with the boys sharing their initial reactions, and doling out a series of completely official and totally not made-up awards from another epic year at Watches & Wonders. Apologies for any redundant bits where some of the same thoughts are shared in both Geneva and Burlingame, as the boys did cover some of the same salient points twice.

We're also on the eve of our second annual First Look event, where all the latest novelties from Watches & Wonders will be joining us here in Burlingame — you can learn more about this very special event and RSVP right here.

EP25: No, This is *Not* a Predictions Episode

Friday, April 5, 2024 • Duration 01:04:38

Wait, why not? Tap in and let the boys explain. Instead of dusting off the crystal ball, Rob, Russ, and Zach are taking a closer look at a few recent arrivals to the store, including one of the hottest modern Speedmasters ever: the Apollo 8, and the many differences that comprise its recent update, the über-cool Mark II. That's not the only cool new Omega in the store though, so listen on for the full rundown before we cast off for Geneva.

EP24: The Fifty Fathoms and the Story of Three Millimeters

Friday, March 22, 2024 • Duration 53:50

Burlingame and Park officially turns one year old this week, and for this special birthday episode, the boys are embarking upon a deep dive on the legendary Blancpain Fifty Fathoms to go hands-on with the new, hotly anticipated 42.3mm 5010 Fifty Fathoms, taking all its crucial measurements, sharing on-wrist impressions, and speculating on the future of this mighty dive watch. We also explore the many functions of a good dive watch – many of these features being pioneered by Blancpain itself, with the original Fifty Fathoms of 1953.

EP23: It Came From Outer Space

Friday, March 8, 2024 • Duration 58:34

How does a chunk of iron that once hurtled through space over a million years ago end up as a tiny sliver in the dial of a modern Omega Constellation watch?

This week, the boys of Burlingame are taking a deep dive into meteorite dials – where they come from, how they're made, and just what we love about them. However, along the way, we gladly digress with a conversation on subtleties in case design from Grand Seiko, share first impressions of the Fears Redcliff in the metal, and a whole lot more.

EP22: Have You Ever Lost a Watch?

Friday, February 23, 2024 • Duration 59:28

Spoiler alert: we have.

The boys are back in Burlingame, and this week, we partake in a spot of Wikipedia vandalism, and each tell a story that we might once have been too ashamed to share. We also share the origins behind our obsession with the "California dial" – a timely conversation with our Fears Topper Editions, and the Bremont x Bamford collaborative sequel which both just dropped.

We also debate the merits of "Caller" vs. "Traveler" GMT functionality as we check out the new Ball Engineer III Outlier, which just landed in-store.

EP21: LVMH Watch Week with Zenith's Real-Life Encyclopedia

Friday, February 9, 2024 • Duration 56:53

The boys are back, and this week they're split between three towns, led by Russ on the ground in Miami at LVMH Watch Week with Romain Marietta, Chief Product Officer for Zenith. Romain has been with Zenith for 16 years and counting – it's where his career began, so there are few people that know this brand quite like he does. We go over all of the Le Locle maker's newest launches, including the endlessly charming Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar, and the brand new titanium Chronomaster Sport, while trying to get him to spill a secret or two on what we can expect from this high-flying brand in 2024. Will Zach finally get his titanium Pilot this year?

As always, we love hearing from you – shoot us a note at podcast@topperjewelers.com and maybe we'll read your question on air!

EP20: Our Top Secret “Project Shovel” with Nicholas Bowman-Scargill

Friday, January 19, 2024 • Duration 01:23:35

The boys are back! We're kicking off our inaugural 2024 recording with a very special guest, and an equally special Topper Edition: the launch of our Fears Series II Capsule, codename "Project Shovel" by our good friend Nicholas Bowman-Scargill.

Nicholas will be joining on this episode to take us through the inspiration and development of each of the four watches in the capsule, which pivots around a weeklong trip through some of our favorite places in Northern California.

So settle in, pour yourself a cup of tea and be sure to explore the capsule collection right here before they're gone!

EP19: A DOXA Deep Dive and Our 2024 Predictions

Saturday, December 30, 2023 • Duration 01:16:40

Rather than rehash all our favorite watches of 2023 (we recommend Episode 2 for our W&W picks, or Episode 18 for our holiday picks for these highlights), the boys are dusting off the old Topper crystal ball and looking into the future to make predictions and share hopes for what should be another very exciting year in watch releases. We also do a big deep dive into DOXA Watches – the latest brand to join the Topper stable.

As always, thanks for all your incredible support in 2023. This will be our last episode for a few weeks as the boys recharge batteries, line up some new guests, and get prepped for an epic 2024. Of course we're thrilled to have you along for the ride. Questions, comments, or feedback can all be sent to podcast@topperjewelers.com.
