Tiresome Trends, A Paris Piaget Robbery, And All The New Watches

On this week’s episode of the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, David is feeling a bit under the weather, although he still manages to join Ariel and Rick to discuss the latest watch industry news. After talking about favorite desserts and where listeners can send David their get-well-soon wishes, the trio kick off the conversation with a chat about Jake’s recent article on watch trends, along with which ones they personally think need to be put to rest. From there, it’s a discussion about watch crime, the recent Piaget robbery in Paris, and why having millions of dollars of merchandise stolen might not actually be such a bad thing for Piaget in the long run. After a quick game of “Guess the Price of the Seiko'' (spoiler alert: everyone is wrong again), it’s a recap of this week’s new releases, along with a rapid fire round of “Hit, Miss, Maybe” that includes new watches from Casio, Breitling, NORQAIN, Longines, Oris, Hublot, and Hanhart.
