Send us Fan MailThis week, Wesley Smith returns to the podcast to chat about summer travel, the gear we’re using, and how some of us have taken a step back from social media and why. This episode contains insights on the how and why of the content and products we produce, and what motivates each of us. The gear oftentimes isn’t as important as the doing. There are still a few hats left for purchase - huge thanks to everyone that has picked one up, please tag The Deep Track if you’re showing off your fit on social. Show Notes:The Deep TrackStandard HToronto Timepiece ShowEd Rhee on InstagramThe Deep Track HatCamera WestLeica SL3-PLeica M10 MonochromeLight Lens LabAutodromo Group B Night Stage IIAutodromo Group B ChronographUnpolished WatchesRolex Daytona 126500 ReviewBen Collins on YouTubeSupport the show

Send us Fan MailThis week’s episode is a solo discussion about why we find nostalgia so compelling, and why that might ultimately be holding us back. Sometimes, capturing the look of the past doesn’t quite cut it, and taking the time to find period-correct pieces can reveal the full intent and experience. Film cameras offer a nice analogy for this discussion. Show Notes:The Deep Track ShopLongines Hydroconquest Review by Devin PennypackerWatches of Espionage - Heart of the BeastRolex Sea-Dweller 16600Tudor Heritage ChronographNikon F3Modern Leica M6Support the show

Send us Fan MailThis week, Karel Bachand of Barrelhand joins the podcast to discuss all things space watches, and the brand’s Monolith, a modern take on the genre. We tackle the history of developing watches for space, and the challenges that come with it, as well as how that history was wielded in the development of the Monolith. Additionally, we ponder the modern identity of the tool watch, and why concerted efforts in this space are few and far between these days. The Monolith represents a new frontier in many ways, and one that may not yet be fully understood (we barely scratch the surface in this episode), let alone appreciated. Show Notes:BarrelhandBarrelhand Monolith Introduction on HodinkeeThe MonolithArthur C.

But first, a look back at the Autodromo Group B Chronograph. Show Notes:AutodromoAutodromo Group B ChronographAutodromo Group CWatchHotTakesYou don’t need a well rounded collectionAt some point, you’re destined to end up with a SpeedmasterVintage Rolex are the same build quality as modern Seiko 5ETA based movements are a positive selling pointSupport the show

Let's not call it regret, but these are certainly watches that linger for one reason or another.

Send us Fan MailThis week, Devin Pennypacker returns to the podcast to dig into all the somewhat controversial releases of the past week.

We also touch on the 007: First Light video game, and how the newest Omega chronograph is handled in the game. Show Notes:Josh’s Castelbajac Sport Quartz Chronograph (In Post)Vacheron Constantin Dual Time Cardinal PointsRolex GMT-Master II BLROBarrelhand Monolith on HodinkeeBarrelhand MonolithFormex AriaFormex Field AutomaticTudor Black Bay Chrono 39Tudor MonarchJames Bond 007: First Light / Omega Seamaster ChronographSupport the show

We also chat about the influence of “luxury” in how watches are presented to us, and how our experiences in the independent and micro brand scene tell the real story of the industry.

Send us Fan MailThis week, Justin Couture, aka The Wristorian returns to the podcast to discuss odd, unusual, or otherwise niche complications and features. The review of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer, and its tide indication sub dial inspired us to think about some other outside-of-the-box complications and features, from the often discussed HEV, to more obscure ideas, like a hand-cranking Seiko, or a Sicura with a pocket knife hiding in the case. We explore the world of weird complications new and old, and talk a little bit about what we’d like to see from Tudor at Watches & Wonders. Show Notes:TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer ReviewLaventure Sous Marine IIRolex Sea-Dweller 16600Laventure Marine Type 3Solunar TheoryVulcain Nautical CricketJaeger-LeCoultre Tribute to Deep Sea AlarmThe Certina Chronograph and a professional hot air balloonistFavre-Leuba BivouacRichard Mille Soccer WatchHublot Big Bang Unico GolfSidereal TimeOmega X-33 MarstimerJaeger-LeCoultre Amvox Aston Martin WatchesIWC x Porsche Design Titan ChronographDuctor Northline Compass WatchUrwerk UR-1001 Zeit DeviceBlancpain Fifty-Fathoms Tech GombessaSicura watch with pocket knifeSeiko 8T23Seiko Avenue 7T27-710A SAKY005Tudor 90910Support the show

Ken is bringing his unique vision to life through Arken, a project that began as a quest to make the perfect personal watch which has blossomed into a now thriving young micro brand. In this discussion we talk about what it means to design a tool watch, where inspiration comes from, and how to create a distinctive look and feel without relying too heavily on the established ideas already out there. Ken offers his insight on the thought process behind this, and how the brand has come this far in such a short period of time. Show Notes:Arken WatchesArken AlterumArken Instrumentum Rolex 16570Omega Seamaster 300 (British Army Issued)Tudor FXDSinn U50Arken on InstagramSupport the show

Send us Fan MailSupport The Deep TrackThis week I'm happy to welcome the CEO of Parmigiani Fleurier, Guido Terreni. Parmigiani is a brand that has released some of the most interesting watches in recent memory across their modern sport-chic Tonda collection, and most recently with the introduction of a new Toric (you can see my initial reaction to the Toric from Geneva right here). In this discussion, Guido shares insights to what it means to create a formal watch, and how Parmigiani thinks a bit differently about the genre as a whole. It's difficult to argue with the results, but his thinking certainly adds a level of depth to the overall approach taken. Notes:Parmigiani FlieuerParmigiani ToricMichel ParmigianiSupport the show
