King Seiko Is Back, And We Have Thoughts




The HourTime Show show

Summary: Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor (@vmarks on Twitter), Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon), and Patrick (@PatrickWatches).  For new listeners, Patrick is the managing editor of WristWatchReview but his schedule typically doesn't allow him to record with us very easily. But we're happy to have him on the pod this week, especially as John was busy with work stuff. Anyway! We've got a big and juicy news-filled podcast this week. After some initial banter about watch size preferences, we dive into the just-announced King Seiko re-launch and an interesting interview the CEO of Tag Heuer gave to Hodinkee.  With King Seiko, we discuss our initial reaction to the new watches (mixed, though Nicholas is largely a fan) and what we would have done differently. One major complaint people seem to have is the use of the 6R movement, in a $1700 watch. This movement has somewhat of a mixed reputation online (it doesn't appear to keep time very well, for one), and to see it in a watch at this price point is... well, people aren't happy. With Tag, we mainly discuss where the brand "fits" in the watch world today, and how we might market a watch brand specifically to a younger demo. That's about the gist of this week. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content.
