EP88: The Man Who Flew a Dragon
What's it like to pilot the most advanced spacecraft ever to orbit the earth? We recently had the honor of hosting Marine Corps pilot and former NASA astronaut Doug Hurley in the Omega Boutique, who had plenty to say about his incredible experiences flying the SpaceX Dragon on various NASA crewed missions. This week on the pod, Rob, Russ, and Zach recount their memorable evening in Burlingame shared with Doug, as well as bring you up to speed on all the latest and greatest to land in the store – including *the* Breitling Navitimer that we've been waiting years for.

EP87: What It's Like to Create a 'Piece Unique'
Ever wonder how a one-of-one 'Piece Unique' watch is made? Today, we have a very special guest: artist Grace Zhang who commissioned a Piece Unique from Blancpain's Métiers d'Art program, using her own original artwork for the dial.

EP86: There's a New "Watchmaker's Watchmaker" in Town
Rob and Zach's Switzerland adventures continue with a report from the Vaucher Manufacture, home of Parmigiani Fleurier, and as we would soon learn, many other very interesting high-end brands as well, confirming all suspicions that the *real* "watchmaker's watchmaker" crown might no longer reside in its traditional home of Le Sentier, but right here in the sleepy Swiss town of Fleurier.

EP85: Live from the Attic of Charles Vermot
No one's ever recorded a podcast from the fabled Zenith attic – you know the one, where watchmaker Charles Vermot once hid away the tooling and materials used to make the El Primero movement, a rebellious decision that would ultimately save the company and cement his name in watchmaking lore. Today, Rob and Zach finally had a chance to climb the steps into the attic and record a very special episode following an enlightening day at the Zenith manufacture in Le Locle.
