Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast – Episode 275!
We have bad news, we have good news, mostly good news which one do you want to hear first?
Let’s start with the good news! This edition of the show is brought to you by the good people at Christopher Ward and their new C63 range of watches. Listen to our discussion during the show about one of the stand out features, almost unique to the new CW Elite!
We’ve been busy this past week, getting hands on with some Omega releases and with the new Big Pilots launched at W&W from IWC. Plus, we talk about new watches from Doxa, Richard Mille and Zero West. Tag Heuer released a collaboration with Nintendo which has divided opinions and has proven to be a prime target for memes. It was a sad day for our English listeners past July 11th, but if you were a driver wearing an RM your day went considerably worse.

Got into the horological hobby only a few short years ago; but got, as us Scots like to say, “baw deep” pretty quickly. Thanks to buying a lemon of a Rolex he spent hours researching why his watch wasn’t working and along the way gained an interest in what makes them tick. He now runs the Scottish Watches website and keeps cohort Rick in check on the twice weekly Scottish Watches podcast.
