This week’s episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly serves up a stir-fry of watch talk, fast food analogies, and hot sauce banter. Rick kicks things off with his thoughts on "the watch recognition experience" before diving into notable new releases from Grand Seiko, Doxa, and Tudor. From Tudor’s new moonphase strategy to the nuances of the Doxa 750T, the discussion reveals how brand positioning and regional markets shape today’s watch landscape. And then the guys digress to, of all things, hot sauces — with Cholula, Sriracha (sung to the tune of "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off.") The conversation then takes a nostalgic turn, with shoutouts to 90s arcade games and their thematic connection to watches as fun, memory-triggering objects. Personal wrist checks keep the dialogue grounded. Then there's the question of Versace’s evolving approach to watchmaking (ambitious, but what about execution?) — on the other hand, designer David Candaux’s bold creations are boundary-pushing indies. The episode closes with a spotlight on the Timex Atelier collection, an accessible entry point for enthusiasts seeking entry-level quality.
