Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast – Episode 335! We start off todays show with a detailed wrist check and the watch content only increases from then on. The first release that Rikki and Dave talk about is Leica’s latest trip into watchmaking with their L1 and L2.
Leica moving more into watches sounds like the start of a very funny joke, but before you completely disregard, they’ve been created in collaboration with Lehmann Präzision, who are a precision engineering firm that make great movements. The jury is still undecided on the design and especially the price.
A very nice-looking piece is the Hampton Hommage à Pierre Soulages, that is a limited edition of 102 pieces featuring a dial echoing one of Pierre Soulages painting. Finally they chat about the Seiko Prospex Special Blackseries limited editions that are reimaginations of vintage Seiko classics.

Chaykin Wristmons Joker NEW – Leica Watch L1 and L2 The aesthetics are very similar to Nomos watches.
