The we gush over the awesomeness of the Gavox Avidiver, which leads us into an important discussion about the 62MAS reissue.
Then we cap this week’s discussion on a series talk about how watch press outlets make money and how those methods could impede their journalistic integrity. Why worry about that at all? Because the line between press outlet and marketer-for-hire can be quite thin, and the ones who are supposed to be engaging with the audience and detailing interesting horological topics should NOT be the ones trying to sell you things. Outlets should work for the audience – not the brands.
Also, any horological ornithologist out there?

Kaz has been collecting watches since 2015, but he’s been fascinated by product design, the Collector’s psychology, and brand marketing his whole life. While sharing the same strong fondness for all things horologically-affordable as Mike (his TBWS partner in crime), Kaz’s collection niche is also focused on vintage Soviet watches as well as watches that feature a unique, but well-designed quirk or visual hook.
