Banging The Gavel On The Rolex Daytona, Hungarian Lampposts Vs Ceramic Watches, Protesting With Birthday Cake, And Chronographs As Surveillance Tools

On this week's episode of the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, Ariel, Rick, and David are joined once again by Sylvain Berneron, Creative Director at Breitling. The group has it out over brands using auctions to launch new models, diverges from a discussion of the Rolex Daytona to discuss the realities of wear and tear, shares their favorite movie watches, and talks about the practical uses for chronographs. Plus, an update on the ABTW x Raymond Weil project and a new candidate for the best car brand collaboration!
