In today’s #WatchTalk episode I'm joined once again by watch expert and entrepreneur Marc Frankel of Long Island Watch for a fun chat on the top 10 stupidest things ever said about watches. We share a wide range of examples, from the most controversial subjects and snobbery regarding quartz, to what constitutes real horology, and the most common misconceptions and misunderstandings when it comes to value. We also discuss the shortcomings of Seiko movements (like the legendary 7S26 and its phasing out,) the ridiculous oversized trend that continues with Richard Mille, what viewers didn't understand about my comparison between Grand Seiko and the Accutron Spaceview 2020, and examples featuring our regular favorites like Hamilton, G-Shock and Casio. Join us for a laidback but informative take on watch collecting, with an art and history perspective from me, and an engineering angle from Marc. And please share your nominations for stupidest things ever said about watches, in the comments below!
