Episode. #17: In Pursuit of the Ideal Watch Collection

Mike and Kaz discuss the ideal watch collection – what are the most basic, quintessential types of watches that would constitute a basic, well-rounded collection. A diver? A chrono? Tune in to hear the Snobs’ thoughts.

Plus Kaz breaks down the intricate (and dying) art of bumping your testicles against a watch… the reality is that it’s the only truly reliable method of ensuring YOU own the waych (editor’s note: yea… that is only applicable to dudes…).

The guys then round up the show on the “cash-in-your-chips” watch – its the idea that there is a watch you end your collection with. That final purchase to punctuate the entire horological journey you’ve taken yourself on. Think of it as a grande finale for the horology enthusiast.
