  • Watch talk? Yes. Reference numbers? Not so much.

    11 Episodes in and everyone episode makes me smile and every episode makes me want to jump in on the conversation. These 2 friends are separated by “the pond”. brought together by their love of watches. Iman and Chris share their love of watches and life with us.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 5: Super Wristies Assemble - Fancasting watches with Mike Pearson, featuring everything from Lange to Citizen with a healthy dose of Vintage
Q: What drew you to horology and this particular guest format?
The hosts emphasize storytelling over selling and invite guests to share personal connections to watches, brands, and community moments.
Episode 9: Our First Q&A: Rolex vs Omega, Daniel Wellington, Grail Watches, Desert Island Watches, and More
Q: If you could own only Omega or Rolex, which would you choose?
Chris leans toward Omega for design variety (OP in multiple colors and preferred Aquaterra/OP sizing), but ultimately would keep an Omega-related option; both hosts lean toward Omega in design, with a rapid-fire leaning to Omega.
Episode 9: Our First Q&A: Rolex vs Omega, Daniel Wellington, Grail Watches, Desert Island Watches, and More
Q: What watch best describes your personality?
Chris describes his multifaceted persona through a Tudor Black Bay Steel and Gold, blending ruggedness with dressy versatility, while Iman leans toward warmth and approachability via the Black Bay 58 Bronze's cozy tones.
Episode 9: Our First Q&A: Rolex vs Omega, Daniel Wellington, Grail Watches, Desert Island Watches, and More
Q: When will the trend shift back to bigger watches or will it?
Iman argues that bigger watches never truly disappeared; brands are just offering more options for smaller wrists, causing a perception shift rather than a true trend reversal.
Episode 13: The Wristies Interrogate One Another - Was Rolex Founded by a Nazi? How Many Jobs has Chris actually had? What Wonderful Day would Iman Relive? And More!
Q: If you could invite five people in the watch world to a dinner party, who would they be?
They name a mix of historical figures (e.g., Abraham-Louis Breguet), designers (Max Booser), contemporary personalities (Rebecca Struthers), and bold industry characters (Jean-Claude Biver), acknowledging that the list could change but aiming for a dynamic, conversation-rich table.
