  • S2 E9: Longines deep-dive, insta shots of the month + watches we are lusting after
    Jan 4 2026

    Hi Watch Fam,

    Thank you for keeping time with us.

    Watch News is back! We love a good Piaget so new Andy Warhol ‘Collage’ has caught our eye. It’s perfect in a completely whacky way - stone dials to the max! We also stumble across Arsene Lippens and their fun fabric dial do check these out. And finally the watch both Tim and Anna from Chrono_Girl_Life have in their collections Oris Big Crown Pointer Date, but this time with a twist in ‘Autumn Orange’ (2mins 11 seconds)

    Watches we are lusting after - Tim is surprisingly lusting after a neo-vintage Rolex a 1990s Oyster Perpetual 34mm ref. 15210 with its machine turned bezel and clean dial either as a sunray deep blue or in a more matte black. Presents good value into the entry-level Rolex ownership. (7mins 03 seconds)

    Watch shots of the month - big shout outs to three excellent insta shots: Corum Watches and its nest of peacock dial watches; Arrow of Time - Le Roy & Cie 50s rose gold case with a linen dial with these stunning indented indices; and finally Goldfinger Vintage’s - Girard Perregeaux 70s dress watch in white gold but what stands out is the case and dial finishing. It’s a clous de paris guilloche on both the case and blue/green dial. (08mins 31 seconds)

    Deep dive on Longines - we highlight Vintage Longines himself and his prized 1942 blue dialed perfection of a watch - 18ct gold and stamped from Egypt with w reference of 4687.

    The Majetek used by WWII Czech pilots as well as the Type A7 with this 45-degree design and big onion style crown.

    We also pick out other vintage Longines’ from The Watcham with scarab gold lugs and exquisite pinky/salmon dial; watch seller Goldammer and another salmon dial and Tim’s favourite watch hands - pontife style; and finally SpaceTime.VintageWatch’s quirky little number - a circular case but attached to a rectangular outer case like a Tank protecting this incredible jade stone dial. This little piece would turn heads. (Starts from 11mins 33 seconds)

  • S2 E7: Interview with Anna aka Chrono.Girl.Life; Insta shots of the month; and watches we are lusting over
    Sep 5 2025

    Hi Watch Fam,

    Thank you for keeping time with us.

    • We are joined by the fabulous, Anna, from Chrono.Girl.Life for a fun packed interview. We talk about how she got into watch collecting and what the future holds for her instagram journey, and why she doesn’t share Zac and I’s love for Cartier (!), although she is redeemed as she is part of the ‘no date window’ club! (28mins 38 seconds)
    • Watches we are lusting after: Zac picks out a 1970s vintage Longines Tank in gold ref 1174, while Tim can’t get the Hermes Slim D’Hermes Quantieme Perpetuel out of his head/heart he went further down the rabbit hole and found the Slim D’Hermes Hodinkee Limited Edition with a beautiful blue dial. Anna’s picks out Atelier Wen’s Ancestra as well as Awake’s Sơn Mài frosted leaf green dial. (10mins 38 seconds)
    • Insta watch shots of the month: Tim again picks three with his first pick being IlanWatches UG PoleRouter macro shot with a stunning pinky gold which shimmers with a brushed effect on the dial. Next up is The Time Curator’s Vacheron ref 6351 macro. A crisp macro of the 7 and 8 position and a gold case which is machine turned. Then finally the pick of the bunch Watchograf’s incredible bubble Baltic AquaScaphe. Submerged into water and creates this deep sea effect. Never seen anything like it . (20mins 10 seconds)
    • Zac selects Time.Vintage.HK’s 19k yellow gold Cartier Baignoire on a fantastic green lizard strap. (25mins 03 seconds)
    • Anna picked the winner which was Watchograf! They receive our TimeKeepers beer mat!
