180. Rick’s First Podcast, Andy Warhol, and Geography Lessons That Come with Your Watch

Strap in (or click your bracelet extension into place) for this week’s episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly. The team dives into the ever-bubbling cauldron of watch world weirdness with Ripley looking at the Citizen Promaster Diver 41mm, a watch so "unremarkably good it's almost remarkable." The crew debates its enthusiast appeal vs gift-watch greatness and ponders the eternal question: Why don’t more people love Super Titanium? Rick manages to break through his technical difficulties at the start of the show in what new listeners might think is his first podcast rodeo, and the group asks if the Piaget “Andy Warhol” Black Tie and its $61K price tag are a tribute to the man, or just a tribute to marketing ambiguity.... You can decide. Also, Bell & Ross designs a Bell & Ross about Bell & Ross, so squint and adjust your screen brightness to check it out. Next, given Rick's new beekeeping hobby, the Bulova Super Seville "Honeybee" Edition feels especially apt with its delightfully whimsical design. Want a geography lesson with your timepiece? Then the CIGA Design Blue Planet Atlantic II is your dream watch. Ariel and the crew walk us through this Earth-tilted, counterclockwise wonder that reminds us that time, space, and maps are all relative.Check out this week’s sponsor:
