Mickey Brown’s passion for watches began with his dad and brother. His career took him into aerospace engineering, designing lightweight structures for fighter jet radar systems. Parivas is where those two worlds meet.

This week, we talk with the Parivas co-founder about the Exo.1, a mechanical watch built around an intricate 3D-printed metal lattice—and the years spent waiting for manufacturing technology to catch up with the idea.

Mickey explains what it takes to turn metal powder into a finished watch, why seemingly tiny mistakes can scrap an entire case, and how details like replaceable tritium tubes and the “Solar Dusted” finish came to life.

It’s a conversation about engineering, persistence, taking risks in independent watchmaking, and why knowing the people behind a watch can change what it means to you.

What do custom knives and watches have in common? More than you might think!

This week, we're joined by Laurent Doussot, founder of Doussot Watches, a Canadian microbrand bringing decades of creativity, craftsmanship, and design experience into the watch world.

After meeting Laurent at the Toronto Timepiece Show and getting his watches on our wrists, we knew we had to hear more of his story.

We talk about his 20+ years making custom knives, his journey into watch design, the incredible attention to detail behind the Doussot Onami collection, and the challenges of bringing a new watch brand to life.

From 3D printing prototypes to Kickstarter challenges, unique case designs, and the importance of staying true to your vision, Laurent shares what goes into creating something that's truly your own.

And, as always, we get a few laughs in along the way!

A week later, and we’re still not over the Toronto Timepiece Show.This week, we sit down and talk about some of the watches, brands and people that made the weekend so memorable — from incredible independent watchmaking and six-figure pieces that left us speechless, to brands we discovered for the first time and watches we haven’t stopped thinking about since.We also take you back onto the show floor with conversations from Mad Hudson, Warden Watch Studio and Elliot Brown, plus plenty of stories from a weekend surrounded by some of our favorite people in the watch community.J.N. Shapiro. Grönefeld. Bradley Taylor. Mad Hudson. Micromilspec. Maurice Lacroix. Christopher Ward. Makoto. And plenty more.Some watches impressed us. Some surprised us. A few nearly came home with us.And apparently, sometimes a watch is just… really fucking nice.What watch or brand would YOU have wanted to see in person?Like, subscribe and join the Watchers every week for more watch talk, reviews, interviews and whatever else Alex and Jordan get themselves into.

We survived the Toronto Timepiece Show… and what a weekend it was.

After three packed days of watches, interviews, new friends, old friends, countless steps and very little sleep, Alex, Jordan and Rich sat down Sunday night to wrap up an experience we won’t soon forget.

This isn’t a full breakdown of everything we saw at the show. It’s three tired watch nerds, still buzzing from the weekend, talking about the people, watches and moments that stood out.

We talk about Rich’s first-ever watch show, a few new watch alerts, brands that impressed us, some incredible conversations, and just how special the watch community can be when you get everyone together in one place.

Most of all, this episode is our chance to say thank you — to Jason Hutton and the entire Toronto Timepiece Show team, all the brands and creators, our friends in the community, and everyone who stopped to say hello and talk watches with us.

We went to Toronto to cover a watch show.

We came home with memories, new friendships, a few new watches… and a lot more stories to tell.

What a weekend. ❤️⌚

One brand. Three watches. No budget. What could possibly go wrong?

This week, Alex and Jordan go head-to-head in the Three Watch Challenge, each choosing one brand and building their ultimate three-watch collection.

Alex goes with Zenith, while Jordan takes Glashütte Original — and with no budget to keep things remotely sensible, things escalate quickly. Divers, chronographs, tourbillons and some seriously ridiculous watches make the cut.

Rich is back with another round of Nitpicks, we talk about the upcoming Toronto Timepiece Show, and take a look at a surprising new Rolex that definitely got our attention.

But the big question is: Who built the better three-watch collection — Alex or Jordan?

Check out the episode and let us know who gets your vote!

The Toronto Timepiece Show is going BIG — and Jason Hutton is back to tell us what’s in store for this year’s show.

With 90+ exhibitors expected in Toronto, Jason gives us a look at how much the show has grown, the new Artisanal Lounge, some of the incredible brands and independent watchmakers attending, and even a tease about a new Grönefeld release that will be shown publicly at the show.

We also talk about the success of the first Montreal Timepiece Show, the growth of the Canadian watch community, what it actually takes behind the scenes to put these shows together, and Jason’s vision for Timepiece World Journal.

But before Jason joins us… Smartwatch Dick is BACK.

Rich has been keeping notes while he’s been away, which means Alex and Jordan have some explaining to do. And this time he’s not stopping with us — Jonny from Walker & Crown managed to get himself on Rich’s radar after making the mistake of talking about smartwatches on our last episode. 😂

We’ll be at the Toronto Timepiece Show September 26 & 27 and can’t wait to meet more of you in person.

🎙️ Watch You Talkin’ About?
Alex, Jordan & Smartwatch Dick

This week we're joined by Jonny from Walker & Crown, one of the newest British microbrands on the scene — and one that definitely isn't interested in playing it safe.

Walker & Crown's story started with a lost watch belonging to Jonny's grandfather and eventually turned into something much bigger: Jonny and his wife Colette putting their own money behind a watch brand they genuinely believe in.

We get into where the brand came from, why they chose to self-fund instead of going the Kickstarter route, the risks of launching a new microbrand, and the thinking behind their first collection, the Revival Series.

And these aren't just four different dial colours.

Laser Drift. The Clerk. Memphis Beat. Electric Lagoon.

Each has its own personality and its own connection to the music, design and culture of the 1980s. Even the packaging gets in on it — including an actual cassette with an NFC-linked playlist created around each watch.

Jordan has been wearing two of the watches, so we also get into what they're actually like on wrist, the 37x37mm square case, the finishing, bracelets, Miyota movements and some of the little details that surprised us.

£379. Self-funded. Small production runs. No waiting a year for a Kickstarter watch to hopefully show up.

This was a fun one. Jonny fit right in, we went completely off the rails a few times, and by the end of it you'll probably understand why we're pretty damn excited to see where Walker & Crown goes from here.

For the first time, we’re recording together in person! After 18 holes of golf, dinner and a couple of drinks, we sat down on the deck and did what we do best — talked watches.

The big one this week is the Makoto Boken. Ryan from Makoto gave us a pretty bold challenge: put his Grade 5 titanium adventure watch up against our Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Extreme GMTs and tell him what we really think.

Challenge accepted.

After both spending some serious wrist time with the Boken, we talk about the incredible wearability, ridiculous lume, finishing, straps, what we’d change, and whether a watch at roughly half the price can actually hang with the Christopher Ward.

We also get into new watches, getting the next generation hooked on watches, wrestling, the upcoming Toronto Timepiece Show and, as always, plenty of completely unnecessary detours.

So what do you think: Makoto Boken or Christopher Ward C63 Extreme GMT?

Thanks for listening, Watchers. Now wind it up!

This week we’re playing a dangerous game: Buy It, Consider It, Kill It.

Rolex, Omega or Tudor? Breitling, TAG Heuer or Zenith? G-Shock, Timex or Swatch? And what happens when we start throwing the Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster and Tudor Black Bay into the mix?

Some watches are getting bought, some are getting considered…and some are disappearing forever.

We also get into Jordan selling another watch — this time to someone buying their first mechanical watch — and why seeing someone discover this hobby for the first time can bring back some of that excitement we sometimes lose as collectors.

Plus, are luxury watch brands falling behind when it comes to advertising? We talk YouTube, social media, traditional advertising, clickbait and whether brands like Rolex, Vacheron Constantin and AP really need to change the way they reach watch buyers.

And now it’s your turn.

BUY IT. CONSIDER IT. KILL IT.

Rolex / Omega / Tudor
Zenith / Breitling / TAG Heuer
G-Shock / Timex / Swatch
Omega Seamaster / Breitling Superocean / TAG Heuer Aquaracer
Rolex Submariner / Omega Seamaster / Tudor Black Bay
Tourbillon / Perpetual Calendar / Minute Repeater
Annual Calendar / Perpetual Calendar / Moonphase
World Timer / GMT / Dual Time
Stainless Steel / Titanium / Bronze
Swiss / Japanese / German
Patek Philippe / Audemars Piguet / Vacheron Constantin

This week on Watch You Talkin' About, Alex and Jordan dive into the wild collision of pro wrestling and high-end horology. They break down the massive controversy surrounding WWE superstar Roman Reigns flexing a $500,000 skeletonized Audemars Piguet Tourbillon on live TV, and discuss the internet backlash over "watch snobbery".

Plus, Jordan shares his full recap and highlight reel from his very first RedBar YYC meetup, showcasing incredible grail pieces like a 1970s Patek Philippe Calatrava, an Omega Flightmaster, and a Tudor Submariner.

Later, the guys share details on how to join the official Watch You Talkin' About NFL Pick’em Pool—sponsored by Shipwreck Watch Company—where the winner takes home a brand-new "Lost at Sea" diver!

To wrap it up, Alex and Jordan unleash a round of hot takes on awful OEM watch bracelets, why the hatred for "hype watches" is total nonsense, and why social media creators need to wrap up their 20-second wrist rolls.

The call every watch collector dreams of…

This week, Jordan finally gets the call.

After putting his name on the list as a long shot, the phone rings with an opportunity he never expected—a brand-new Rolex Daytona. He shares the story behind the watch, the decision to buy it, and why this one means so much more than just another addition to the collection.

We also get into:
• Why watch snobbery needs to stop.
• Red flags to watch for when buying microbrand watches.
• Smartwatch Dick returns with another round of nitpicks.
• A viewer wrist check from the field during military training.

Are microbrand watches actually innovating... or are they simply making the features we already love more affordable?

This week we're diving into one of the biggest questions in modern watch collecting.

We debate whether true innovation comes from brands like Rolex, MB&F and Christopher Ward, or whether microbrands are changing the industry by offering incredible value, better bracelets, micro-adjust clasps, unique dial designs and a closer connection to collectors.

Along the way we also chat about:

* Christopher Ward and the Bel Canto

* MB&F and some of the wildest movements in watchmaking

* Rolex innovation

* Zelos, Erebus, Venezianico, Makoto and other standout microbrands

* Why premium watch straps matter

* The AliExpress straps we've been using

* Smartwatch Dick's Nitpicks (including some self-inflicted corrections!)

So... where do you stand?

Do microbrands truly innovate, or do they simply perfect what the big brands create? Let us know in the comments!

This week, we're celebrating Canada Day the only way we know how—with watches, terrible jokes, and plenty of random detours.

We kick things off with our Canada Day wrist checks, chat about solar-powered watches, and somehow end up talking about warranties after Alex accidentally breaks the bezel on his Momentum. Jordan's MoonSwatch warranty saga continues, while Smartwatch Dick shares his own smartwatch replacement story.

Then it's time for another round of Smartwatch Dick's Nitpicks & Corrections, where we dive into:

Why watch brands should measure thickness with the crystal.

Are GMT watches taking over the industry?

Do collectors eventually fall out of love with their watches?The history behind Timex and Snoopy.

We also check out two incredible new releases from MB&F and Baltic, revisit our $2,500 Watch Collection Challenge, give a shout-out to some amazing listeners, and—as always—take a few unexpected detours into wrestling, sports, soccer, basketball, and somehow... pictures of Alex's feet.

Because apparently that's where this show ended up.

The three amigos ride again this week as Alex and Jordan are reunited with Smartwatch Dick for a massive round of nitpicks, corrections, and a video call-out from a legendary golf trip OG that you absolutely cannot miss.

Then, the boys are joined by James, the mastermind behind Canuck Timepieces. James shares his incredible journey from tracking down streetwear and sneakers to obsessed watch collector, and finally, to designing bold, independent Canadian watches. From drilling holes in custom enamel dials in his garage to launching the mind-bending Fourth Dimension series and his upcoming custom cushion case, James drops a masterclass in what it means to build a brand fueled by genuine passion and collaboration.

We dig into:

Why the golf swing is absolutely violent on automatic watch movements.

The history of the Rolex bubble back (and why it's a grail for James).

Why off-the-shelf strap quality on AliExpress might surprise you.

At some point every watch collector faces the same question: Do I really need all these watches?

Fresh off our annual golf trip, we found ourselves having exactly that conversation. This week we're talking about collections that have grown, watches that aren't getting wrist time anymore, and the difficult decision of whether it's finally time to start selling some pieces. We also discuss why certain watches connect with us, why others slowly get left behind, and how our tastes have changed as collectors.

Of course, it wouldn't be Watch You Talkin' About without diving into some of the latest releases, including a new Tudor chronograph, an eye-catching Doxa, Christopher Ward's fun new Pool Diver, and another Snoopy watch that got us asking if the market is finally reaching Snoopy overload.

This week we're joined by Alex's step father-in-law, Joe, for a deep dive into the world of vintage watches, watch repair, collecting, and the thrill of the hunt.

Joe has been buying, selling, collecting, and repairing watches for years. What started as frustration with a repair experience eventually turned into a passion for learning how watches work from the inside out. Today he spends countless hours restoring vintage pieces, sourcing parts, chasing rare movements, and hunting down hidden gems on eBay.

In this episode we discuss:

⌚ How Joe got started in watch repair
⌚ Vintage Rolex Bubblebacks and Omega movements
⌚ Why vintage watches still matter
⌚ Buying and selling watches on eBay
⌚ The challenge of sourcing parts and restoring old watches
⌚ Chronographs, hairsprings, and movement repair
⌚ The watches currently on Joe's workbench
⌚ Why the hunt is often as rewarding as the watch itself

Whether you're into modern watches, vintage pieces, or simply love hearing passionate collectors share their stories, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

What vintage watch would you love to add to your collection?

Fresh off our interview with Mike Pearson from Christopher Ward and an incredible event in Calgary, we're back to recap the experience, share some behind-the-scenes stories, and talk about the watches that followed us home.

Unfortunately, our wallets didn't survive the trip.

In Episode 9 of Watch You Talkin’ About, Jordan and Alex dive into one of the most competitive and talked-about price ranges in the watch world: watches under $750.

Jordan brings a mix of watches he already owns along with a few that have caught his attention, while Alex shares several watches he discovered while digging through the endless rabbit hole of affordable watch collecting.

Some we’ve worn.

Some we haven’t.

But all of them are watches that stand out in this price range.

Along the way we talk specs, share photos, discuss hunting for deals on Chrono24, and prove once again that Alex is still not great at remembering watch names.

Oh… and at one point Smartwatch Dick checks in from a secret location for a quick risk check before disappearing to a mysterious work event.

We start this episode with wrist checks, watch reviews, and discussion around two new watch releases before reflecting on our experiences at the 2025 Vancouver Timepiece Show.After opening with what we’re wearing and our thoughts on recent releases, the conversation shifts to stories from the Vancouver Timepiece Show — walking the floor, talking with brands, handling dozens of watches, and comparing options along the way.

We talk about the fun side of watch collecting, the challenge of narrowing down choices, and the mental back-and-forth that comes with making a purchase decision at a show. Alex shares the story behind buying his Duckworth Prestex after spending time comparing watches throughout the show, while Jordan talks about why he waited and ordered his after. Rather than a recap, this episode focuses on the experience, decision-making, and enjoyment that come with watch shows and microbrand collecting.
