Grand Seiko Titanium Watches Explained

Send us a textVacheron Constantin is extremely highly regarded among luxury watch enthusiasts, and for good reason. Not only are they the oldest continuously operating watch brand in the world, but they're also the makers of the most complicated (and second-most complicated) watch ever made. Regarded as part of the "Holy Trinity" along with Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin's dressy watches are among the best out there. But from a sales/hype perspective, watch fans want to see steel sports watches--and the Overseas was Vacheron's only offering in that department until now. For 2025, Vacheron Constantin unleashed a stainless steel version of their beloved 222 model, ref. 4200H/222A-B934. Here's what you should know about the steel Vacheron 222.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Send us a textAside from the Tank, the Santos is arguably Cartier’s most recognizable watch. It features many of the brand’s most enduring design codes, such as a square-shaped case with gently rounded corners and screws dotting the bezel. Dating back to the early 1900s, the Santos is also one of Cartier’s longest-produced collections and is often regarded as the first men’s wristwatch. It debuted during an era when pocket watches were the go-to timekeeping devices for gentlemen. It’s an important model, not just for Cartier but for watchmaking as a whole. Let’s unpack the Cartier Santos history and explore some of the collection’s most influential models.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Send us a textIt can be a struggle not to overuse the word "iconic" when describing fancy wristwatches, but the Cartier Tank is a watch that definitely earned that adjective. The Tank has been popular for over a century, worn by the likes of Muhammad Ali, JFK, Princess Diana, Truman Capote and Andy Warhol. Its rectangular shape was so influential that now, any similarly shaped watch can be generically referred to as a "tank." For those looking for a Cartier Tank alternative, we've put together this list of tank (and tank-adjacent) watches from ten top watchmakers.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Send us a textWith all the hysteria around the Patek Philippe Cubitus (good and bad), we thought now would be a good time to have a look at some other square watches. While round designs dominate watchmaking, the appeal of a square watch lies in its bold geometry and distinctive character. Square timepieces, like the Cartier Santos or TAG Heuer Monaco, offer exciting alternatives to more traditional round cases. So, if you're on board with being square and need to look at something else other than the Cubitus, let's get a closer look at some top square watches.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Send us a textTitanium Grand Seiko watches are some of their most popular models, but the types of titanium alloys they've used can be confusing. There are actually only two: "high-intensity titanium" and the newer and costlier "Brilliant Hard Titanium," with an exceptional hardness rating. You may hear these alloys called by different names, however, so in this episode, we'll give you a quick coherent breakdown of the titanium Grand Seiko lineup over the years.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Send us a textWhile value might not be a priority for everyone, it certainly adds to the appeal of buying a coveted Cartier watch. We always caution to buy what you love because you love it, and not as an investment, but all other things being equal, we think it's better to fall in love with a watch that holds its value, rather than one that depreciates immediately. Historically, Cartier watches tend to hold their value long-term. However, several factors determine exactly how well timepieces from the legendary Maison hold their value or even appreciate, including demand, materials used, and current fashion trends. If you like what you're listening to please let us know!
