What is left to say? We finally made it to 200. The banter is back! We got together IN PERSON to do this right. Apologies for the long delay, but now that we finally wrangled our schedules for this shindig, episode 201 won’t take nearly as long. Enjoy!
Spence and the Buzz man are back together for the first time in almost three months! We pick up the mantle posed to us by our friends over at Spirit of Time podcast and offer some of our non-watch favorite follows! Enjoy!
In this week’s episode, our friend Mitch comes back to discuss the finer (and I do mean finer) details of the current Speedmaster and previous generation. We have a lovely conversation at a local brewery, so please excuse the background noise. Cheers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB1iSb-2t7A http://instagram.com/menswearmusings https://www.youtube.com/@menswearmusings...
After a not so brief summer holiday WE'RE BACK! Spence and Buzz get a portion of the band back together to discuss watches, life, other things. We will try to be more consistent for all of you listener(s) out there! Enjoy!
It has been a minute (or at least six weeks) but Spence and the Buzz Man are back! We catch up on TWO new watch additions and other fun items, enjoy and keep all them digits!
Semi back to our original lineup and original format. Spence and Spangler try to keep it brief and cover some new releases, golf, and other shenanigans. Work's been a lot lately, so just nice to have a quick decompression session. Apologies for some of the technical delays as well, someone's internet wasn't up to the challenge!
On this week's episode, Spence and Spangler talk about how trading a watch is great in theory, but can be a bit more challenging to execute. We also get Spangler's belated reaction to some of the new watches that have come out of Watches&Wonders. Enjoy!
Yes, we are riffing on the title from our friends at Spirit of Time. We have the original Buzz though, so it is fair. Spence and Buzz talk about W&W, the VPC type 37 HW, among other shenanigans. Enjoy!
This week's episode Spence has the opportunity to speak with Fratello writer, and watch brand founder, Thomas Van Straaten to talk about his passion project, VPC watches. It has been a minute since we have had a brand owner on the show, but having spent some time with the VPC Type 37 HW you will see that it has left us thoroughly impressed. Thomas's eye for detail, including developing a unique typeface for the 37 HW, leads to a watch that punches well above its weight and is more than just a sp...
This week Spence and Buzz are trying to do our topic justice. It takes a minute, but we do finally discuss one brand in particular that we think is significantly underrated. Enjoy!
Well, Spence and Spangler talk some predictions from the crown as well as some SEASONAL stuff from GS. Enjoy!
Despite not publishing an episode for a couple of weeks, we have the nerve to discuss streaks! Namely, which brand has been on a bit of a tear as of late.
In this week's episode Spence, Spangler, and Buzz are joined by our friend Mike Stockton from Fratello watches! We talk about what the future of Universal Geneve under Breitling ownership might look like. We also each build a watch (Spangler's idea) based on components of existing timepieces. A sort of everyman's Moser Swiss Legend concept. Enjoy!
This episode we riff on the concept of the worst watch in the world. We do this in the vein of the old Top Gear, and the answer(s) may surprise you. We even consider a Rolex making the cut! Enjoy!
On this week's episode the gang is all here, and they throw down. We each pick (semi-sarcastic) new year's resolutions for each other. No holds were barred.
We would like to wish each of our 12 listeners a very happy and prosperous new year. We had some fun this week recording with our first listener, @motorjon68 at a new haunt. We hope you enjoy!
In this episode we discuss release strategies from watch brands, and why holiday releases might not really be a thing. We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season!
This episode we have Spence and Buzz talking about new watches, but also new watch BRAND acquisitions. We talk about the recent Breitling acquisition of Universal Geneve and what it might mean for Watches & Wonders 2024. Enjoy!
Well you have the OG lineup this week, and just in time for the weekend. We get into some good old fashioned debates on certain topics such as consolidation, Grand Seiko, and a more. There is also a good amount of sidebar conversation, if you like that sort of thing. Enjoy!
Rumors of our demise have been grossly overstated. We have, however, had a busy November. We do apologize, dear listeners, for leaving you in the lurch for so long. While the time off was busy, there was a new watch added to Spence's collection. We wax poetically about it in this episode. We hope you enjoy!
This week's episode is a lot of fun. Spence sits down with Nick, from StrapHabit. We talk about the origin of the pink strap collaboration with Brodinkee, watch collecting, and where he wants to take his brand next. This episode was a long time coming, as we have actually met IN PERSON before (crazy right?)! It was great to catch up with Nick and all of the cool things he is doing. There is still time to get your pink straps to support Men Wear Pink, so be sure to check them out soon! If you hav...
This episode has been teased, and for good reason. We are delighted to have our buddy Chris Sohl back on the show. Chris has been rather busy since we last spoke with him. As an avid diver and watch enthusiast, he has had the opportunity to be at, or in some cases organize, some pretty cool events in which his two passions intersect. Whether it be Wind Up In a Lake, the recent Tudor FXD launch, or a Mark V dive with a special meaning. His experiences have allowed us to live vicariously through h...
It has been a minute, but we are finally back. Spence and the Buzzman talk new releases from Seiko, Certina, Blancpain, and Zenith. We also have some personal fresh forum finds, and we talk a bit about beauty and objectivity in watches. Enjoy!
Sundials aside, we talk about some watches that have caught our eye, and a friend who has a new pick up. Enjoy!
I think we have used this episode title before, but it is fitting. We are coming to you live (almost) on the release of the new Pelagos FXD (not on location though). Keeping it simple for this one, just Spence, Spangler, and Tudor Talk.
The title says it all. Two things that were previously unfathomable (well, maybe one, but still) happened recently and we have yet to talk about them. So we talk about them. Enjoy!
Sad news this week, legendary host of The Price Is Right, Bob Barker, passed away at the age of 99. While we are all saddened by the news, we felt a tribute was in order. So we brought friend of the show @Brodinkee back to play host to a little competition between Spence and Buzz. This was a lot of fun to record, and despite having to do most of the work, we think @Brodinkee enjoyed playing host. Enjoy!
This episode is a lot of fun. While Spangler is away, Spence and Buzz play with a fun idea. We didn't even get through all of our thoughts on this, so see if there is a follow up episode! We talk about the evolution of watch tastes within specific watch categories. How one might start out with a Seiko and end up with a Submariner! This was a lot more fun than either of us anticipated, we hope you enjoy!
This episode is the first time we have had brothers as guests on the podcast. Surprising that it has taken us this long, but it was worth the wait. We have local friends Zack and Mitch who both have influenced each other along their collecting journey. Additionally, many of you may have run across Mitch's website, Menswearmusings.com! We get the inside scoop on his journey and passion for tailored clothing, the experience of going to Pitti Uomo in Florence, and how welcoming the menswear communi...
This week's episode was pitched to us (and Wrist Cheese Radio) by a listener local to us in Cincinnati. We all have watches that fill a gap in our collection, and for that reason, there are other watches we do not own. In some ways, this is the collection we could have had. It is our doppelganger collection. Enjoy!
