The 15 Most Expensive Watch Brands in the World
There is no single clear metric to define the most expensive watch brand. You can look at the price of brands' most expensive watches, their least expensive watches, or an estimate of their average sale price. Most of the world's most expensive watch brands are old and well-established. But there are also a growing number of stunning independent watch brands with a cost of entry over $50,000 even for a basic three-hand watch, and complicated pieces priced well into six figures. All in all, we think there are 15 brands you should know about when it comes to discussing the most expensive watch brands in the world.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Top 10 Luxury Watch Brands
Dec 13 2024
Top 10 Luxury Watch Brands
According to the Federation of the Swiss watch industry (FH), Switzerland produces around 15 to 20 million watches a year — which is a minuscule amount that represents around 2% of global timepiece manufacturing. However, this is a clear case of quality over quantity. This tiny nation, as reported by the news outlet SWI swissinfo, commands more than a 50% share of the global watch industry in value terms, and more than 95% of watches sold for CHF 1,000 (just over USD $1,100) or more are produced by Swiss companies. Translation: Switzerland dominates when it comes to the luxury segment of the watch market. Watch enthusiasts recognize the cachet of the Swiss-made label, and the country reigns supreme when it comes to fine timepieces. So, if Switzerland dominates the luxury watch segment, which luxury watch brands dominate within that prestigious circle? Listen to this episode to discover the top 10 luxury watch brands, as told by the numbers.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Dec 11 2024
What is the Price of a Rolex Sky-Dweller in 2024?
At retail, current Rolex Sky-Dweller prices range from $15,850 to $54,000. Due to strong demand, you can expect to pay over $16,000 for even the most affordable pre-owned variants. In 2024, market prices for solid gold Sky-Dwellers are starting to settle just around retail for most configurations, although the hottest dials still bring big premiums. And despite much hubbub about the watch industry cooling off, even two-tone Sky-Dwellers continue to sell well at full list price. This Rolex Sky-Dweller price guide episode compares retail and market prices for every variant, both current and discontinued.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Rolex Daytona Le Mans Yellow Gold: The Hottest "Secret" Rolex of 2024
One of the most memorable gold Rolex releases in recent years was 2023's white gold Le Mans Daytona, celebrating the famous racetrack's 100th anniversary. Featuring a 24-hour totalizer instead of the Daytona's typical 12-hour one, and the infamous "Paul Newman" subdial typeface, the Le Mans Daytona was also special because of its exhibition caseback--something Rolex had previously only put on the platinum Daytona and Cellini Prince. For 2024, Rolex quietly replaced it with an otherwise identical yellow gold Le Mans Daytona, and it's one of the hottest watches of the year.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Top 10 Cheapest Rolex Watches You Can Buy Now
The Oyster Perpetual is the cheapest model in the Rolex catalog today, but it's not easy to get from an authorized dealer without waiting. A new no-date Submariner costs less than $10,000 brand new from an authorized dealer, but it still has waitlists too. You can expect some Rolex models to be available for sale upon walking into a Rolex store, unlike in, say, 2022--but usually just Datejusts and gold models. We'll talk about ten of the cheapest (worthwhile) Rolex models that you can actually buy now, both new and used.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Why David Candaux is a Big Deal in Watchmaking
As watch fans, we tend to attribute designs and innovations to certain brands. But when it comes to truly groundbreaking high-end complicated watch movements, there are a small number of individual elite watchmakers at the top doing most of the actual inventing. David Candaux is among that elite. If you're into luxury watches, you might have heard of watches like the MB&F HM6 Space Pirate or the Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica à Grande Sonnerie, even if you didn't know David Candaux was involved. Since 2017, he's been putting his efforts into his own brand, and D. Candaux watches are getting plenty of deserved attention in the over-$200,000 segment.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

How Much Does a Rolex Day-Date Cost? The Ultimate Rolex Day Date Price Guide

How Much Does a Rolex Day-Date Cost? The Ultimate Rolex Day Date Price Guide
Rolex Day-Date prices start at $36,500 for a 36mm version and $40,100 for a 40mm version when purchased brand new from an authorized dealer at retail prices. However, the retail prices of a Day-Date, also known as a Rolex President watch, can quickly increase from there depending on the case and bracelet materials, as well as the use of diamonds. What’s more, prices of pre-owned Rolex Day-Date watches vary wildly on the secondary market with factors such as age, condition, style, and materials all impacting the overall cost. For instance, the cost of an older secondhand Day-Date President in yellow gold can start as low as $8,000 (with leather straps) and $10,000 (with bracelets) while a highly collectible platinum Day-Date with an ice-blue dial and numbers written in Arabic can cost over $100,000.Listen to this episode for all the details and prices.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Patek Philippe Cubitus: The First New Men’s Patek Lineup Since 1997
For the first time since the Aquanaut was released in 1997, Patek Philippe has unveiled an entirely new men’s product line: the Cubitus. Patek Philippe CEO Thierry Stern told customers in 2023 to expect a brand new line of watches by 2024, and this is it: a watch that looks like a Nautilus, but more cube-ish–as the name suggests. Three Cubitus variants have been released to start: a time-and-date model with a bracelet (available in both steel or two-tone) and a platinum moonphase big-date model. The Cubitus was unveiled at a private Patek Philippe event in Munich on October 17, 2024. In this episode, we discuss the details. If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

The Winning Watches of GPHG 2024

The Winning Watches of GPHG 2024
The watch world's biggest award show just wrapped up and we have a new slate of this year's winning watches to admire. For those who aren't familiar with the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), it's essentially the Oscars of the watch industry where nominated timepieces are selected as "Best Chronograph," "Best Men's Watch," "Most Iconic," and so on. The biggest prize of the night, however, is the "Aiguille d'Or Grand Prix," which rewards the best overall timepiece among all categories. While most of the categories are self-explanatory, it's worth pointing out that the "Challenge Prize" is awarded to exceptional watches with a retail price equal to or under CHF 3,000 whereas the “Petite Aiguille” award goes to watches with a retail price between CHF 3,000 and CHF 10,000. With that in mind, let's get to the winning watches of GPHG 2024.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!
