  • Great Podcast - Terrible French Accent

    In general, I love the podcast. Keep it coming. But, can Andy please stop with the horrific French pronunciations? They are so tortured and overwrought. Andy is terrific otherwise, but please, no môr.

  • Great Pod, Less Malaika

    Malaika is a real weak spot in this podcast. I enjoy her articles, but her tendency to interrupt and ramble makes her a poor podcast guest.

  • Love the Podcast—But Let’s Talk Backes & Strauss

    Hey Hodinkee Team,

    Huge fan of the podcast—it’s the perfect mix of deep horology and great storytelling. But can we get some tea on Backes & Strauss? They’ve got the world’s oldest diamond company cred, ties to Franck Muller, and some wild designs—what’s their real place in modern watchmaking?

    Keep up the great work!

    I’ve listened to the podcast from the beginning, but Malaika’s interruptions of other hosts and content are horrible.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Business of Watches [037] Former CEO Of Bulgari Jean-Christophe Babin
Q: What is the place and purpose of Geneva Watch Days today, and how has it evolved since its inception?
Geneva Watch Days started as a decentralized, inclusive alternative to traditional fairs, emphasizing accessibility, collaboration among brands, and a cultural emphasis over pure transactions; it now sits as a complementary event to Watches and Wonders, maintaining its incubator role for emerging brands while expanding its cultural and educational dimension.
The Business of Watch [036] Collective Horology CEO Asher Rapkin And Liberty Justice Center Chairman and CEO Sara Albrecht On Suing Trump Over Tariffs
Q: What is the legal procedure here? What happens next? What is the outcome and the remedy that you're hoping for?
The IEPA tariffs case seeks refunds for affected businesses, with a class-certification approach to cover eligible claimants; future actions target additional tariff statutes with upcoming hearings to determine refunds and broader class eligibility.
The Business of Watch [036] Collective Horology CEO Asher Rapkin And Liberty Justice Center Chairman and CEO Sara Albrecht On Suing Trump Over Tariffs
Q: No doubt. And last thing, Asher, I mean, yeah, the lawsuit was filed on July 24th. You've started doing the media rounds, including some high-profile appearances on CNN, no less. What have you heard from your colleagues, people in the industry? Has there been any reaction from the government or opposition side so far?
The industry response has been supportive and positive, with many sharing frustration and a sense of helplessness about policy changes; there's an expectation that government channels may address this in court, not through lobbying alone.
The Business of Watches [034] Inside Lorier Watches' Acquisition With Lorenzo Ortega And Blake Malin
Q: How will production and distribution be affected, and what improvements can we expect for Lorier's availability?
The plan is to leverage Worn & Wound's infrastructure to scale production, create a European service center, and improve inventory availability, while keeping Lorier's distinct identity and product focus intact.
The Business of Watches [034] Inside Lorier Watches' Acquisition With Lorenzo Ortega And Blake Malin
Q: Will this be the start of a broader acquisition strategy for Worn & Wound, or a singular collaboration with Lorier?
The guests say this is currently a one-off but acknowledge that future opportunities could arise if the model proves successful and authentic, while stressing that they want to demonstrate capability first before announcing more acquisitions.
