About this episode

The episode discusses tourbillons, Seiko's new releases, and the launch of N3W5.

aBlogtoWatch Weekly is back on the main aBlogtoWatch YouTube channel with new releases every Friday! - https://www.youtube.com/@ablogtowatch It is a European takeover this week as Rick and David hold down the fort for another lively episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly. They dive into the ongoing debate over whether third party tourbillons are really worth the money, take a close look at Jaeger-LeCoultre's incredible Heliotourbillon, and discuss why mechanical complexity still fascinates collectors even when it serves little practical purpose. The conversation then shifts to Seiko, where David shares his hands on impressions of the new Marinemaster and explains why he believes it is one of the brand's strongest modern dive watches. They also weigh the value of Seiko's latest chronograph releases before turning their attention to François-Henry Bennahmias' newly announced watch brand, N3W5 ("News"), whose unusual name, branding, and marketing philosophy sends the conversation in some unexpected directions. As always, expect plenty of watch opinions, collector debates, and more than a few laughs along the way. This week's episode is sponsored by the Movado Heritage Kingmatic…
