Earlier this year, news dropped that Australia was getting its very own local version of Hodinkee, proving (among other things) the strength of the local watch scene. A few months on, the first issue of the Hodinkee Australia magazine has dropped, and it felt like the perfect time to chat to founding editor (and professional yapper), Jamie Weiss, about his journey in the watch world and how Hodinkee Australia is different to the OG masthead, along with plenty of inside baseball references.

It's a big week on OT: The Podcast, and not just because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married. It's a big week because we've got the charming co-founder of Atelier Wen back on, and this time he's talking about the evolution of the brand's offering and ethos, something embodied in the very impressive new Perception V3. Before that, Andy does some watch spotting, and Felix talks about Seiko and Blancpain.

After a quick break, Andy and Felix are back behind the microphones! We kick things off with a deep dive into Andy's incredibly watch-heavy trip to Japan. From heavy-hitting independent watchmaking like Naoya Hida and Zenith, to the brilliant microbrands of Kurono Tokyo and Kuoe Kyoto, we cover the insane Japanese vintage scene and why Tokyo remains a mecca for watch collectors. 🇯🇵✈️
Meanwhile, Felix catches Andy up on what he missed back home, including the spectacular premiere of the NGV's Cartier exhibition. It's also been a massive month for watch news and new releases. We break down the newest pieces from Chopard, the wild Ming x J.N. Shapiro American-Malaysian collaboration, and TAG Heuer's jaw-dropping, piston-packing Monaco Speed 12.
Finally, we pause to pay tribute to an absolute giant of the watch industry, the late Philippe Stern of Patek Philippe, who passed away this June.
This week's episode is supported by Raymond Weil. Check out the new A.R.T. collection here, and find out what we think about it in this week's episode.

This week, Andy sits down with Karl-Fritz Scheufele, Chief of Staff – Craft, Digital & Experience at Chopard and a third-generation member of the family that manages this historic brand. 🇨🇭✨
Karl-Fritz takes us on a deep dive into Chopard's watchmaking legacy, exploring 30 years of L.U.C Chopard, often called the "brand within a brand" for its exceptional high horology. He also shares the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of his pivotal role in bringing the widely acclaimed Alpine Eagle collection to life, and opens up about what it's truly like to work for one of Switzerland's last remaining independent, family-owned luxury watchmakers. 🦅⏱️
Before diving into the main interview, Felix and Andy look back at their own experiences wearing two stunning Chopard pieces on the wrist during Watches & Wonders.
