  • A writer, an artist and a clothier each present three watches from their collections and then play marry, f**k, kill or as we like to call it cohabitate, fornicate, eviscerate. An irreverent look at some great (or not so great) watches with two very funny friends of The Armoury.
    We had some minor audio issues in this episode, apologies!

    Phil is an absolute maniac, Gary is all of my jewish neuroses x10, and Mark is the normal dude holding it all together.

    This panel was absolutely incredible! If they ever consider starting their own watch podcast, I think About Effing Time would have some serious competition to contend with. Incredibly entertaining, engaging, and just maniacal xD I really hope they continue this and make more episodes in the future.

      I think they are already more compatible and AEF and so much funnier and well versed, not only English as a language itself, but in horology. I would definitely be a huge fan!! Already am!!

    Two things.
    I’ve tried that Aquanaut on bracelet and it was a moment where the heavens opened and the lords light shone upon it as choirs of angels sang. I love it.
    Secondly - you can get a budget red cabochon on steel if you deep dive in to Cartier Santos 75th anniversary models in steel or two-tone from around 1979.
