Episode 1: 10 Years of Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo

Episode 1

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 36:03

For the past decade, Phillips Watches has helped shape the conversation around collectible timepieces. We’ve seen records broken, scholarship rewritten, and new chapters of horological history unfold. Along the way, we’ve been lucky to share those stories with you through catalogues, essays, exhibitions, and conversations in person. Now, we’re taking that dialogue to a new format. Welcome to The Phillips Watches Podcast – the first watch-centric video podcast created by an auction house.

This new series is about more than individual watches or sale results. It’s about the culture, history, and future of watch collecting. It’s about the ideas and people driving this world forward. And it’s about inviting you behind the scenes of the conversations that shape how we understand watches today.

We’re producing the show from our Geneva headquarters – the heart of the global watch scene and the place where so many of the most important watches in the world pass through. But the conversations won’t be limited to these walls. Each episode will bring in voices from across the ecosystem: collectors and watchmakers, scholars and specialists, the people who make this community what it is.

For our very first episode, we sat down with two people who have been at the center of this story from the beginning: Aurel Bacs and Alexandre Ghotbi. Together, we looked back at the first 10 years of Phillips Watches – how it all started, the risks we took, the milestones that defined our first decade, and what’s next.

Episode 2: Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Chopard and Ferdinand Berthoud

Episode 2

Wednesday, October 22, 2025 • Duration 34:54

In Episode 2 of The Phillips Watches Podcast, host Logan Baker sits down with Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-President of Chopard and President of Ferdinand Berthoud, and Alex Ghotbi of Phillips, to discuss Mr. Scheufele's lifelong connection to watchmaking and the philosophy that guides his work. From the creation of the first L.U.C. movement at Chopard in the 1990s to the rebirth of the Ferdinand Berthoud name in 2015, Scheufele shares how patience, independence, and respect for tradition have shaped his approach to both craft and leadership.

The conversation also explores the extraordinary Naissance d’Une Montre III project – an incredible Ferdinand Berthoud watch built entirely by hand, without CNC or computer-aided design. Scheufele reflects on the parallels between watchmaking and winemaking, the importance of passing knowledge from master to apprentice, and why, as he puts it, “what you do with time, time will respect.”

Episode 3: Dr. Helmut Crott and A. Lange & Söhne CEO Wilhelm Schmid

Episode 3

Thursday, November 6, 2025 • Duration 45:05

Few places embody the endurance of craftsmanship like Glashütte, the Saxon town where Ferdinand Adolph Lange founded his workshop in 1845. Nearly two centuries later, it remains a hub of innovation, precision, and pride.

In Episode 3 of The Phillips Watches Podcast, host Logan Baker (@watchesbylogan) sits down with Wilhelm Schmid, CEO of @alangesoehne, and Dr. Helmut Crott, collector, consultant, and historian, for a conversation on the past, present, and future of Glashütte watchmaking.

The episode coincides with a special traveling exhibition presented by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo, marking the 150th anniversary of Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s passing. The exhibition features watches from Dr. Crott’s former and current collection and will be on view in Geneva (5–9 November 2025), Hong Kong (15–23 November 2025), and New York (3–5 December 2025).
