Synopsis

In this episode of the 40 and 20 WatchClicker podcast, hosts Andrew and Everett discuss recent watch releases and industry news. The conversation covers several significant announcements, including Traska's ambitious chronograph with rotating disc subdials, Fears' celestial-themed Brunswick jump hour watch, and Studio Underdog's new "Doghouse" retail space. They explore various releases from brands like Timex (the Pulp Fiction-inspired Vega), Breitling's Aston Martin collaboration, and Christopher Ward's cost-certified C60 Trident collaboration with Bark and Jack.

The hosts also delve into higher-end releases, including Parmigiani's Tonda PF Micro Rotor in "agave blue" and the newly resurrected Niton brand's Prima jump hour watch with a proprietary shaped movement. They praise Mido's Multifort 81 Crown as an excellent value proposition in the integrated bracelet sport watch category. The episode concludes with personal recommendations, including Andrew's endorsement of the Netflix comedy series "Freee Bert" and Everett's enthusiastic review of the Escali Primo kitchen scale, which he describes as a long-overdue upgrade that dramatically improved his baking workflow.

Speaker
Andrew Hello, fellow watch lovers, nerds, enthusiasts, or however you identify. You're listening to 40 and 20, the WatchClicker podcast with your hosts Andrew and my good friend Everett. Here we talk about watches, food, drinks, life, and other things we like. Everett, before you spill that beer, how are you?
Everett I'm doing good. Why would you think I'm not gonna spill a beer? You you
Andrew had it on like a 15-degree angle and it it was perfect angle
Everett . I don't know, not for
Andrew fresh cracks. Perfect. Uh we
Everett 've had s y'all won't believe
Andrew this. We we've had single digit spills over coming up on four hundred episodes. I mean
Everett , less than well, I mean, count them on one hand, I think. Yeah, sing
Andrew le digits. Like one catastrophic spill. I I don't recall exactly the details, but I do remember being like, oh, that's a big mess
Everett . Was that early on? I don't remember just.
Andrew You knocked over a bottle over here.
Everett Yeah. Well, I don't think we've broken any
Andrew glass. Mm-mm. Mm-mm
Everett . Mm-mm. I mean, we've had a number of like little oopsies. Oh
Andrew yeah, but oopsies happen. That's a that's a that's like
Everett a little oopsie. I didn't kind of o
Andrew opsie so that's not a spill though. Yeah, we've we've had single digit spills
Everett . In th three thousand two hundred and fifty-eight episodes
Andrew . Exactly. Prolific.
Everett Andrew I was thinking about something um in two years will be in our tenth year of the show. Assuming we're still alive
Andrew . Alright, that's all the only thing that's gonna stop me
Everett . And we're still doing this. In two years, we'll be on our tenth year of the show. Well, I know that's like like okay, if you squint your eyes and jump up and down. But it's kind of a crazy, I mean that's kind of a crazy fact, I think. Yeah, we've been around longer than Joe R
Andrew ogan. It's another way of saying we're in the
Everett eighth year of our show. Which maybe I'll just let maybe just let that be enough
Andrew . That's a sa that's a uh milestone.
Everett Yeah. We've we celebrated I think
Andrew one milestone, maybe two.
Everett Yeah, I think we did a little something something for a hundred for episode 10.
Andrew 0 And maybe a year or two
Everett , but I mean we haven't really done any like
Andrew no celebration. Because we like to act like we've been here before. We're dignified gentlemen
Everett . Okay. We don't need the pomp and
Andrew circumstance. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Uh we're above it.
Everett I'm not at all. Oh. Should
Andrew should we have been doing more birthdays? I
Everett could really use some praise from time to time. Yeah
Andrew . I'm not gonna do that for you.
Everett My love language is words of I don't remember what that
Andrew it's words of affirmation. Words of affirmation I give you lots of physical touch though. So we might be
Everett that's your love language Andrew. I love doing
Andrew it to you. Uh we we might be there might be a little disconnect there, but just know that that that I'm loving you.
Everett Fair enough. Fair enough. How are you, sir
Andrew ? Uh I'm good. It's it's kind of like a kooky work week. Um like just I I had a couple extra things late on my work week. So my normal schedule is just a little off, which makes it a little bit hard to. I'm a I'm a very uh I'm a creature of habit. So when when things aren't exactly how we expected them to be, it can become catastrophic. Which is which makes like having a a a spouse and kids really hard because when I put things places I expect them to be there when I return. They're rarely, rarely ever there. Um
Everett have you ever had you ever been diagnosed with
Everett uh autism or a spec
Everett trum disorder? No, but I it's all
Andrew like whatever. Uh yeah, so I just have like secret stashes and stuff. That that example to be like when a pen is not where I expect it to be. It is it it's a little bit of a cat catastrophe. So when my my work schedule changes unexpectedly, it it makes it a little bit hard to sure sure sure. Hard to persist. But persist I shall. 'Cause gotta gotta make that money
Everett . 'Cause and here we are. Yeah, and
Andrew here we are recording. Yeah. And here we are rec
Everett ording. You know, we have not
Everett I mean, we we've had periods of time
Everett where recording was pretty consistent, but by and large, it
Everett 's been like we're just kind of fit
Everett ted in where get it in where it fits in. Monda
Andrew y night has kind of been our thing. Today's a Tuesday. Monday
Everett time yeah. Yeah. I I I couldn'
Andrew t couldn't do it yesterday, but you know, we're on a Tuesday, but you know, we Monday's kind of been our thing.
Everett Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's right. We settled
Andrew into that. That's right.
Everett That's right. And Monday st Monday works
Andrew . Well, here we are, al
Everett as, we are here to talk about watches. And I think and I think we will. We had a relatively low overlap on our selections for the week, which means we are unlikely to get to everything that we've selected, which is fine. Which is fine. But I think what that means is you should incorporate some priority at least for the first 30 minutes or so of
Everett your selections. Maybe don't start at
Everett the bottom. Can we start at the overlap? I
Andrew think maybe the coolest thing.
Everett Sure, let's do it. Uh, Trasca.
Andrew So this is a watch that we got to see at Wind Up in New York. The ambitious chronograph reference one zero two five one. And this thing is really just as cool as it gets. It w top down, it just looks like a a two-register chronograph. And then you start getting into the specs on this. Uh, so we'll we'll start with kind of the boring. 39 millimeter case because Traska's case sizes are just phenomenal. I have had this on the wrist, and it's absolutely terrific. 13.75 thick, 46.5 lug to lug, 75 meters of water resistance with a screwdown crown, boxed double domed sapphire crystal, NH86 automatic Sycho chronograph movement that has had some modifications, as I understand. I don't fully get the engineering. Um and he tried to explain it to me, but I just it it was just it was a beyond me. I was like, okay, man, I love, I love it. And that's all you need to say. Just show it to me more. You don't need to tell me anything else. 45 hour power reserve. Um now this is Traska's first foray into a little bit upmarket, uppriced watch. This is sixteen hundred and fifty dollars, and Traska's been really soundly in the sub-thousand dollar range. Um so what had to happen was some engineering stuff. Not nearly as much as the jump hour that we really do hope to see, but some things have been tweaked and changed a little bit. What we see here is a tungsten bezel stainless steel case, color matched tungsten color dial, silvery discs, and the discs do the rotating. So on a typical chronograph, you're gonna see the hand rotate. Not not in this case. The discs of your subdials are doing the chronograph functionality. Um if you heard the sounds that Will and I made seeing this for the first time, you would understand how fun it is because it's it's so uh simple. It's such an easy change to make this a fun, kind of crazy novel watch without being a novelty watch. He found a way to take this thing that we all know, we all understand how to use it, we all recognize, and just tweak it a little bit to make it so fun. The design on it is quintessential traska absolutely simple, legible, fantastic. I don't have any notes
Everett . No notes. No not
Andrew es. Uh well, I've got notes about your review. So
Everett not NH 86, but the N E.
Andrew Do I know how to read?
Everett 86 movement.
Everett Which is this Yeah, N H e
Andrew ighty six is what it says on the write up. Well it it's an N E
Everett eighty six. Oh that's a typo.
Andrew So I can read. Um which
Everett is the same movement as the eight R forty eight, I believe. Oh
Andrew no, that's not true. 8R4
Everett 6, which is Seiko's
Andrew , you know, Seiko branded. So this
Everett is the TMI,
Andrew NE86, their time module, me
Everett ant for third parties. But it's the same movement. And you know, I think that the 8R forty six movements are, or the 8R forty six movement is coming in watches that are w well
Everett over
Everett $2,000, right? Seiko's selling that in inexpensive watches. So that's kind of fun. Um Um this watch is uh beautiful. I do love the
Everett colors. Uh
Andrew the use of tungsten is interesting. Maybe that's a note. Tungsten's heavy. Yeah,
Everett tungsten is heavy. Tungsten's heavy as fuck
Andrew . And even just a little thin bezel insert is gonna add some heft.
Everett I thought they you I mean the the reality is there's not a ton of affordable, there are not a ton of affordable automatic chronographs on the market. So you know, obviously
Everett Siegel makes the ST19, which is
Everett a very inexpensive movement that is maybe not super available today, but has been in recent past. That's a hand-wound, you know, swan neck, column wheel chronograph. This
Everett movement's an interesting foray
Everett . For first, it is, I believe the height on the movement is almost eight millimeters, which is a monster.
Andrew That's a big movement. Which
Everett means that Traska's thirteen and a half, including the crystal here, I think is pretty respectable. I think they've done a really good job with size management. Um dimensions dimensions on this are great. Yeah, it says 12.1 before the crystal. Uh and the pricing here, 1650. Um I think super, I think super aggressive. Only 100 of these made available now. It'll be interesting to see what Traska does with this platform
Andrew . You know, another thing that surprised me
Everett , uh, you know, A, this is Traska's first chronograph, but the other thing that surprised me was this is Traska's first release and four first new watch release in four years
Andrew . Because he's just trying to keep up with the the demand. You know, you get an email once a quarter from Traska: hey, we restocked however many of each of these skews and then they're just gone. Right. The fact that I I went to their website and bought one just when I felt like it is is on obtaining them now.
Everett Sorry, 100 pieces ready to ship now, three hund piecesred total on this
Andrew . Uh he he he's a little bit of a victim of his own success and he's he's being really measured in his in his growth
Everett . Um the other thing I uh the other thing I really uh liked about this watch was the the slight shift to the standard tach meter bezel. So uh this actually has instead of like a 300 mile per hour indication um starting you know over at 10 o'clock, this actually has a 50 miles per hour to or 50 units per hour to 200 units per hour, which I thought was pretty clever. Uh y you know, that's a more practical that's a more practical reference frame for I think most people
Andrew , right? Uh
Everett you know, you don't necessarily start speed timing things at 60. And so 50 gives you a little bit, especially you know, thinking about like American speed limits or whatever. It's a more
Andrew 15 miles an hour. It's
Everett a more practical um time frame. It's something I've not seen before. I don't think they're the first ones that have done this. Certainly they aren't, but um I it's not something'd seen before and I thought, well, that's pretty that's pretty cool. I like that nod to practicality
Andrew . Mm-hmm. I I am so excited for this release. I'm so excited we finally get to actually talk about it..
Everett Ye Yeahah. Great, really cool. Really cool watch. Great colors.
Andrew Actuating that pusher. And I just waited for a second. I was like, why isn't it? Ooh, it's doing it. Uh it was and you did you're right. You you you bet to handle this. Like you had a similar experience. I think the six o'clock date window was really nicely executed. I like I like a date window on a chronograph because you've already got so many functionalities. Like you you're not you're not going for the clean look anymore. Uh include a date window
Everett . Yeah, yeah. Well uh cool release by Trasca. I I'm with you. I think that's one of the one of the more cool releases of the of the year. Yeah. Bicompax
Andrew . Yeah, we're you know, we're six weeks into it, and we have a really cool release
Everett . Um other bit of overlap, Fears uh is adding to their 40 and a half Brunswick jump hour collection with what they're calling the celestial Litimed Edition. This is Andrew. I knew this would be on your list as soon as I read about it. Um so so so we'll let's first just talk about the watch. This is the 40 and a half, 40.5 millimeter bronze wick, uh, which is the same dimensionally and I believe I believe in in all sort of exterior respects to other 40.5 Brunswick 40.5, including that great like Globe
Andrew Onion Crown
Everett standard Brunswick design language that carries over from the 38, but the dial on this guy is really a triumph. Um and and sort of you don't you kind of have to take a second look at it to take it all in, or maybe a third or a fourth look. So um first you've got that prominent jump hour at three o'clock. We're gonna talk an about jump hour again today before we're done, but this prominent jump hour uh at twelve
Everett o'clock with a white backgro
Everett und. Uh and then and then you look at the moon, which looks very much like a moon, until you kind of look again, and then you realize it it's actually a piece of mother of pearl on the center. So probably the inner twenty five percent or thirty percent of the dial is this piece of Mother of Pearl that's obviously meant to be evocative of a moon, which it's completely successful at.
Andrew I whoever would have thought that Mother of Pearl could be used as an analog for the moon. I ne I would have never been like, Oh, I know what I want to do, I want to make it look like the moon. I'll use some mop. No, they did, and it's perfect.
Everett And then outside of that, you get a piece of um aventuring
Andrew . Yes. Beautiful, de
Everett ep, inky aventurine with with stars, as you might imagine, as come with all aventuring. And then you've got sort of a cascade,
Everett a burst of
Everett starlight streaks flowing, emanating out from the moon
Everett that end in in-ho
Everett use, an all-new in-house design breguet numeral font that is very much a breguet numeral font, but it's gorgeous. And I love the fact that Fears did it in-house. A very tasteful and small Fears England at the bottom at six o'clock, stuffed way to the outside of the dial, super tasteful. Golly man. This thing is something else. So w the movement Fears Br Fierz Jump Hour Brunswick movement is a Salida SW200 with the JJ01 jump hour module on top. That's a Christopher Ward designed module on top of an SW200, uh, which is in and of itself a story and very cool. This thing is rad, Andrew. Limited to 75 pieces. Uh coming in at uh 46
Andrew 00 bucks. That's right. Forty
Everett 4400 on the stainless steel fiber bracelet. 4,400 euro or 3,700 pounds. We don't have a we don't have a dollar price, so we may have tariff VAT problems with this watch. With that said, it is
Everett you could just fly to
Andrew gorgeous the UK.
Everett Sure. Buy one and then fly
Andrew home with it on your wrist and avoid the VAT.
Everett Sure. That might be one way to do that. Co
Andrew uld be cheaper. That's
Everett a way to do it. U
Andrew h this this is crazy. So so the alt the the uh varying lengths of these bursts out of the mother of pearl moon are meant to evoke like a celestial plot map. Uh and it it does that. You you this this almost looks like a like a cart our cartographer was involved or a lunartographer.
Everett And we don't know that they weren't. Yeah.
Everett of technical drawing
Andrew , but pure art. Uh
Everett this is just absolutely gorgeous.
Andrew The the minute hand is the sole hand, obviously, because it's a jumping hour that perfectly reaches right to the edge of this mother of pearl moon sitting at the center. Uh rhodium plated hand on it. Man, I the only the only thing that I w I I would have an issue with is how polished it is that this would just be like a safe baby. I would I would just wander around cupping that watch with my other hand on my wrist to protect it from getting banged up
Everett . Yeah, I mean the other the other potential criticism of this watch is just the size. It's 40 and a half. I might have liked to see them try to do
Everett this watch in the in the 3
Everett 8mm. But also it's pretty thick, you know, 12.8 because of that module SW200. So
Andrew but you're also dealing with like multiple materials in the dial.
Everett Whatever. I'm not saying it's not justified. I'm just saying that's a potential criticism. It is a little b
Everett ig. It is a little big. It looks good on a bracelet
Andrew . Uh and this this is just fun. It's the the hundred eightieth anniversary celebrations. They're kicking this off with uh with this release.
Everett Yeah, it's a hundred and eightieth, hundred and eightyeth anniversary since Fears was founded, but 10 years also since it was brought back to life by Nicholas
Everett . Yeah, pretty cool.
Everett What's next, sir
Andrew ? The doghouse. So we we talked um I don't know, a couple months ago, uh, of Studio Underdog acquiring Orologium and what that would mean and look like for Studio Underdog. And we kind of had this, I had this hope that it would be sort of uh an interactive environment that that people would be able to go to and experience studio underdog in real time in person because so much of studio underdog is about that fun experience of these like high creative cool things. And that is exactly what is happening. So uh the the new storefront is what is it's not storefront. The new space is uh now called the doghouse, where people will be able to, and I don't know what kind of scale they're gonna be able to do it if it's just a launch or if it's gonna be an all-the-time thing. Um, but go and see what's happening. Uh the next thing that blew my socks off 14,000 watches per year at a studio underdog. It's crazy. I
Everett like there's holes in my socks from how
Andrew quickly they were blown off.
Everett Yeah, I had to I had to change pair
Andrew s. Uh absolutely
Everett orders of magnitude greater than I would
Andrew have expected. Uh and I think it's super fun. I love seeing this kind of scrappy brand that started a little tongue-in-cheek having just taken the industry and and been totally accepted by it and appreciated and found its its corner of the world in such a way that there were special lines set up for the release of the Manhattan. Like, oh no no. I youf wanna if you're here to buy this watch, here's here's your corner to cue in for the rest of the day. Enjoy the red tape while you serpentine through this big ass room. People are like, whoa, what's this line for? And then get into it. And um I love it. I think the doghouse is it it's exactly as fun of a name as I would have expected. Maybe a little on the nose, but I'm I'm excited for it.
Everett And with its unveiling in May of this year, Studio Underdog will be releasing a um model exclusive to the what they're calling the Doghouse experience, uh, called the guava. It's a series
Andrew 01 in a new color
Everett way with a sort of pink
Andrew slash rose acc
Everett ented on top of a
Andrew guava green
Everett dial uh which i think
Andrew is an excellent addition to the 1 series
Everett obviously st19 movement
Andrew here um yeah terrific announcement, terrific release. Studio
Everett underdog Richard crushing it
Andrew . Yeah.
Everett Crushing it.
Andrew Like it's his job.
Everett Um it's it is
Andrew his job. And with that, we are
Everett out of overlap. And so the rest of the show will be a competition
Andrew . Mm-hmm. This is a competition
Everett . And I
Andrew intend to take it very seriously. Which you're known for
Everett . So Timex this
Everett week uh une
Everett arthed a
Everett very interesting Q Timex
Everett re-release. So this is a re-release
Everett of a 1977-197
Everett 8 watch that was worn by John Travolta's character Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction, which is something about watches and pulp fiction that I didn't know, and it
Everett feels like a weird knowled
Everett ge gap for me. Um I just can't believe I didn't I was like Vincent Vega wore a 70s time X in that movie and I didn't realize like it just I feel like he had to be
Andrew right like I think you knew you just didn't never like connect that you knew. I
Everett don't think I knew. I mean, cause this watch
Everett I was like, what is this? What are they calling the Vega? It's like
Andrew you know that you only breathe through one nostril at a time. But until it's somebody tells you you only breathe through one nostril at a time, you're like, son of a bitch.
Unknown That's true. So
Everett what this is is a Q timex released the same year as the Falcon Eye, interestingly, uh, originally called the Red Nebula, or the Timex Q Nebula, excuse me. This is sort of a black dial with a red, I don't know, frac
Everett tured design overla
Everett id on top of the black dial. Blood Splat
Andrew ter. Blood Splatter, sure, perhaps
Everett . The Nebula
Everett naming makes me think it's it'
Everett s celestial based, but Blood Splatter. This was actually released in two different versions. So there was the original version that had a faceted mineral glass crystal, and then it was later released with just a domed acrylic crystal when they uh and and uh and also there was uh Tommy Damaro over at Warnerwound has done a good job writing about this and he he says coincidentally about a month before this was released, wrote uh did a write-up on this in which he coined this watch the Timex Net uh the Timex Vega. Uh and of course this watch now released a month later is called the Timex Vega. I th it just seems like an astonishing coincidence. Uh I'm gonna take Tommy at his word, or maybe he's tongue-in cheek. I'm not sure. I don't know him. Um this has the this has some elements of both of those watches. I think that this is specifically intended to be a re-release of the 1978 version. With that said, this does come with a faceted uh acrylic crystal, which is interesting. That original was a faceted mineral glass. This is a faceted acrylic. Um, we've got great details. It's combined. Some of the details, some of these had a like a painted frame on the day date. This has a metal frame on the day date, which is like the upgrade of the old version. It's got a great sort of brushed polished case with a big fat chamfer on this sort of a Q-Timex case. I don't know if you need to compare it to anything else. And it's just, it's just beautiful. 200 bucks on these. Uh really, really interesting looking watch. Obviously, this is a Timex quartz watch, unsurprisingly. Uh 38 millimeters. I think it is a nineteen millimeter lug width, but I wasn't able to confirm that.
Andrew It's timex, so you know it's probably gonna be weird. They got everything else right. They're gonna they're gonna fuck something up
Everett . Yeah, you know, I think
Everett I a long time ago felt like 19 millimeters was a like a genuine mistake. I think
Everett I maybe had softened I don't
Everett think it's a mistake, it's just annoying. I think I've maybe softened my um opinion on 19 millimeter.
Andrew Because the dimensions of this are are terrific
Everett . Yeah. The other thing uh about this watch is that when it originally came out, it came out at a bracelet. Vincent wore his on a leather strap, a fossil branded leather strap. Um, and they released this Q Timex Vega on a black leather strap, not fossil branded, uh, but nonetheless a black leather strap. So they're obviously leaning into the connection there, which which I think is which I think is pretty cool. I
Andrew might have to watch Pulp Fiction tonight.
Everett 20 millimeters on the strap
Andrew . Oh, okay. Yeah. I watched
Everett it just recently with the kids, and uh it's a tough it my kids are like
Andrew they're just on the south edge of
Everett that's right.
Andrew I think Betty's in the zone. And the boys are a little bit on the south edge.
Everett That's right. Everybody enjoyed it though. And I, you know, we we we do, I think, a good job with them sort of letting them sort of set the pace and and being there to talk through things with them
Andrew . Answer questions. And Pulp Fiction is like surprisingly heady.
Everett It's heady, yeah. Yeah. Like you can just
Andrew watch it without paying attention and fully enjoy it. But if you get if you get into it, it is something. Ye
Everett ah. It's a it's the look into the mind of a mad
Andrew man. Yeah. Yeah. But but
Everett ul ultimately um one of my favorite movies. And so this is a really cool I think this is a really cool release. Not notwithstanding the connection to the movie. I think this is a cool release notwithstanding that. But
Andrew it's a cool reissue for sure. The connection is nice.
Everett Yeah. And and whenever I I
Andrew I like see a scene from Pulp Fiction, I'm like, that's not in Pulp Fiction. Cause it's like three mov
Everett ies. Sure.
Andrew Yeah. Three very I watched Reservoir Dogs a couple weeks ago. Yeah, that movie's so fucking good. Ye
Everett ah, of course the most famous Pulp Fiction watch is Butch's
Andrew butthole watch. Yeah. Christopher Wal
Everett ken, the watch Christopher Walken wore this hung uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass. Uh that but but the V
Everett incent Vega watch. Now I know
Andrew . Who who who didn't? I knew Reser
Everett voir Dogs is fantastic. U
Andrew h I'm gonna I'm gonna double tap here on on two watches because they they fit into the same category. So Brightling has released a special edition Nava Timer B01 in partnership with Aston Martin. This is Brightling's premier watch to their Aston Martin F1 racing sponsorship. Uh, and it's just a B01 with Aston Martin colors on the dial, and it looks really good. The way they've integrated kind of teal and black and a carbon uh in a carbon pattern on the dial is really cool. I really like it. Uh you know
Everett , I thought this was like a black mother
Everett a black mother of pearl dial. Is it mot
Andrew her of pearl? I don't think so. No, I think you're right. I
Everett think it's a like a fractured
Andrew carbon. Yeah. But it I just the way you look at it, it's it's it looks stacked. And I I didn't look and see the the material. It
Everett reminds me of the of the black mother pro that Brett had used on his A of A.
Andrew Kinda yeah. Yeah. But if you look you you get like like chunky stacking on this that this this doesn't occur naturally. Yeah
Everett yeah no it's it's clearly carbon when you get up close,
Andrew but uh I just a cool color release for the B01. I love the B01. Uh I love this. Um yeah, this is I I want to be an arms dealer apparently because uh the BO1's my jam. And uh IWC has also entered into a partnership with uh the Mercedes driver um George Russell and has released two limited edition of their pilot's watches.
Everett I take a I don't I don't feel like
Andrew they they hit the colors for
Everett Mercedes super well
Andrew , but the colors are really good. It's this kind of greeny blue. It's very it's it's more blue than green, um, but with just like a little little green flavor in it. Uh comes in a chronograph and a three-hander version, both attractive, and they're both all three of these watches now are coming out just as uh this new iteration of F one is hitting the testing circuit in Bahrain this week. So
Everett I feel like they did okay with the colors. They're
Andrew they're not I don't know. This is the
Everett patronas? Yeah, but if you look at
Andrew if you look at the car, it's more green
Everett . Oh boy, Andrew
Andrew . I feel like it's more green. Alright, fine
Everett . I accept. I don't know. Oh, and I know what I'm talk
Everett ing about. Holy unrelated. Uh C
Andrew adillac unveiled their livery for the year. It's a light on one side, dark on the other side. Really good looking car. And I I'm excited for
Everett Does that make 11 teams?
Andrew Yeah. This is the I think the I I can't say with authority, but I think it's the first time there's 11 teams on the grid. I don't know how Cadillac made that happen because it's kind of been a famous thing that there's only 10 teams on the grid.
Everett I mean it must just be more money. Yeah
Andrew . Money. I think the introduction of an American team is really cool into the F1 space and they're gonna use Ferrari motors for a couple years and then the goal is 2029 to have a GM power unit, but
Everett I've got a watch I want to talk about. It's actually a pair of watches. I've got a little bit of trepidation here because I don't feel like I can pronounce hardly any of the words that I need to be able to pronounce to talk about this wat
Andrew ch. I love this
Everett . So um this is the second release of watches um that are made as a collaboration between Watch Ho and Co. which Watcho and Community
Andrew is something that you are well versed in. True.
Everett By Selton. The name of this watch is the I wanna say Jui Bahinia
Everett . I I think I accept
Andrew your attempt
Everett . So the first release by this collaboration, just the GUI, was created to commemorate Watch Ho's second anniversary. Watch Ho Co is a Hong Kong-based like watch enthusiast community. They've teamed up with Selton Now on their second collaborative uh release. Uh what this is is a absolutely stunning Selton watch uh that's released in both a purple and a pink version. I'm okay saying that. Lavender and pink perhaps. Uh with sort of a C and C Escher type uh
Andrew mirroring infinite design pattern
Everett that has been CNC engraved into a mother of pearl dial. Um, these are inspired by the Bahina flower featured on the Hong Kong flag. Uh, they're gonna make 200 of these. Uh and they
Everett 're just absol
Everett utely stunning, really, really, really gorgeous uh w watches. Uh blued handsets on. He treated blu
Andrew e on these that just like perfectly pop against these floral colors and their skeletonized swords. M
Everett mm-hm. Yeah, beautiful skeleton. I mean, just really, really
Andrew arrows maybe better than swords. I don't know, it's hard to tell because there's no middle
Everett . They are swords and they're meant to they're meant to commemorate sort of cultural weaponry from Hong Kong that I'm not in a good position to speak about more intelligently. I'd like to hear the pr
Andrew onunciation efforts though. Uh not gonna
Everett happen. Okay. Not gonna happen. So um yeah, we've got a bunch of Chinese characters. What this is, it's essentially a 39 millimeter by just sub 10. They they did the 9.95 they got there, including the crystal 45mm lug to lug, 20 millimeter lug width. So really, really perfect dimensions. It is pretty dressy, and so for this style of watch it's not dainty, but obviously the proportions are just absolutely terrific. Automatic Miyota 9039, which we know all about, five meters of water resistance or five atmospheres, fifty meters of water resistance, which is which is perfect. And they're 1250. There's only making 200 of these, and I don't have any idea if you're gonna be able to get these or not. It has got a custom rotor that looks to me like it might
Everett not swing super freely because it's not
Everett , it looks like it's balanced to me, which
Andrew yeah, it could be a little problematic.
Everett I don't know. But I clear may
Andrew be it's not. It's got an imbal
Everett ance to it, so maybe it's it's just it it it's heavily weighted to one side. Any anyway, uh really, really beautiful, beautiful, beautiful watch. I just think these it's such a great release from such an odd place. And not that this is an odd place. It's just rare I think that we would find like a collaboration watch, especially like an enthusiast group collaboration watch like this that I'm like, yes. So actually Joe, our good friend of the show, Captain Enseno, sent this to me. Uh and it was it was he was right that it was right up my alley. And that's Owen
Andrew Co. that's that's all he read. Ow
Everett en Co. Yeah. Really, really stunning watch. I have no clue if you're gonna be able to get these. Um
Everett I think 200 of 'em, there
Andrew 's a a medium chance that you'll be able to get into one.
Everett Yeah. You just gotta be e
Andrew attentive.
Everett What's next for you, sir? Oh, um
Andrew another watch that I I sa
Unknown w from the top down and
Everett was just
Andrew smitten. Parmi Fleurier Tonda PF Micro Rotor Agave Blue This
Everett I don't I don't like agave
Andrew blue for this. This is kind of like a clay gray color. I don't know if we've ever talked about this watch, but this is just a an absolutely stunning watch. It's a 40 millimeter case. It's 47, 45.6 lug to lug, 7.8 thick. It's just it's just kind of perfectly dimensioned. It comes in a stainless steel case with a platinum bezel or an 18-karat rose gold bezel, sapphire crystal. Um, it just absolutely breathtaking watch. Um, and you get to the price, and it's like, oh, it's 23,700 Swiss francs. I don't have enough kids to sell enough organs to make this happen. Um, I love the micro rotor use on it. This this color I think is a color that I've never seen on a watch before and and is what grabbed me. Because I've seen this watch. Like this this isn't this is a new a new dial color release but this like gray green clay color has me. Skeletonized hands. Coin edge bezel. I knew what to expect. I shouldn't have opened the link
Everett . Yeah, no, I I mean it Andrew, this is a
Everett big week for Adamar PK
Andrew . Um it was
Everett kind of a big holy trinity week, uh, which is to say there was just a lot of unobtainium, super expensive watches released this week. Um I passed over most of those as we normally do, right? We we just normally we don't talk about that stuff a lot. Every once in a while something will catch our eye. Uh and
Everett I j I generally I think I
Everett do the same with releases from Parmigiani. Um this style col
Andrew or is what got me. But there's no dou
Everett bt about it. So first I do want to say I think this is agave. I think that this feels to me like this dusty blue, green. I just feel like it's
Andrew more earthy than fauna or floral y, right? Yeah. I see that. I I can accept the agave, but it just it looks like earth to me
Everett . Whether we've talked about this watch
Everett or not, I I don't know. With that said, I'm just gonna I I
Everett I think since we're here, let's just talk
Everett a little bit about this watch. It's a forty millimeter watch with a forty-five point six millimeter lug to lug in an integrated case that is 7.8 th
Andrew ick. And it has
Everett got Parmigiani's PF703 movements, is one of the most gorgeous movements on Earth mic
Andrew ro rotor with an incredi
Everett ble level of finishing. Yeah, it
Andrew 's a fucking butterfly for a micro rotor.
Everett They combine traditional um Geneva striping, etc., with sort of organic insect, yeah, butterfly textures. I I mean Parmigiani is sort of understated in many ways, but they're also doing their own thing in a way that I find really, really attractive. So I think, you know, we don't watch talk about Parmigiana watches, Parmigiani watches very often, because they're expensive. I mean this is, a very, very expensive. I just th
Andrew ought this would be the one that they would discount because nobody's gonna like the style colour.
Everett Um, but it is really, I mean, one of I think even at twenty three seven hundred, I think it's probably one of the values and truly like top of the line exceptional luxury sport watches. Oh
Andrew yeah, and and you still have a hundred meters of water resistance. This totally encapsulates go anywhere, do anything. This can this can fill a dress watch space on leather. It's not ideal, but it can. But this like you can swim with this, you can this could be your only watch you ever own and it's n you're never gonna come up short
Everett . And it's obviously not um as iconic as say a fifty seven eleven or whatever, but it is in my mind just as good looking a watch. Um and I think I think objectively it it reaches the it reaches the level of that watch. Maybe not exactly but probably it'
Andrew s got a hundred meters of water resistance. So 30.
Everett 70 more then. Yeah. Um, yeah. No, really, really stunning watch. Just one that we don't really talk about much on this show. Yeah.
Andrew I just this this dial color
Everett . It it is good. Yeah. It's doing
Andrew a thing for me. I I'm with ya
Everett . I'm with you. Really a cool release.
Andrew And the steel platinum combo on it. I don't I don't super dig it on the gold. Um, even though it it does look really good on the gold, it makes the color pop better, but that's that's a little too much gold for me
Everett . Yeah, I I mean I I'm okay with it, but I but I feel you
Everett . Uh I wanna talk so since
Everett we're talking about this is the expensive watch segment of the show. Um I
Everett want to talk about a watch. So I
Everett think that there were three or four jumping hour watches that I read about that were released this last week, including the aforementioned Fears Celestial Um Magic Brunswick. A brand that I've never heard of because they have been out of the limelight for at least at this point fifty some years is a brand called Niton. Niton. This is a watch house dating back to 1990, lost to history. Really starting in the 30s, they struggled. 1
Everett 890. 1990 is not that long ago
Everett . 1919.
Andrew Oh, nineteen nineteen. That's m that sorry. Makes as much sense.
Everett Mushmouth. Uh this is a brand that, you know, r really at the end of at the end of World War One started to struggle,, was was sol soldd again, kind of uh mushed into another brand, and eventually just just abandoned. Um recently, a uh watch, a watch industry fellow named Yvonne Keter, who I'll admit I don't know who that is, was doing some personal genealogical research and found that his relative, George Keter, once the president of Ashran Constanton, uh, was involved with this brand called Niton. And so he was like, well, that sounds cool. And he teamed up with another industry fellow named Leopoldo Sally, and I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry if I should know who these people are. I don't. So maybe Leopoldo Sally, maybe. Luke, you can tell me, I'm sure. And they decided to release a watch that they're calling the Niton Prima. This is a proprietary shaped caliber watch, the shaped caliber being the star of the show here. And that is meaningful because Niton's sort of whole gig back in the day was shaped caliber watches. So this it so this caliber, it's sort of a rectangular shaped or maybe an S. A
Andrew chevron. Yeah
Everett . Um it's wild and gorgeous.
Andrew Yeah. Uh, and comes in a
Everett rectangular, what they're calling a totem aligned jump hour, which is to say you've got a jump hour at 12, a central minute, and then a small seconds at six in a totem alignment. All of this comes on an absolutely gorgeous either 18 karat rose gold or 950 platinum case that has a brushed, vertically brushed, flat surface, and then polished polished flanks
Andrew . I
Everett mean it's really, really gorgeous. Excellent sort of inset disc crown. And I look, I I don
Everett 't I don't know. I don't know anything
Everett about watches. I don't know anything about watches. But I can look at this and just tell you holy shit this is really cool fully proprietary in-house caliber for your debut release or I guess your your zombie debut release that has a striking jump hour, which means which means you get a gong at the hour, which just marks the hour, it doesn't tell the time. But then also you have a zero reset mechanism. So when you pull the crown to set the time, the watch jumps to the next minute. Which is a cool complication. It's something you you've never he
Andrew ard about. So this is a
Everett jumping hour gong with a zero reset mechanism. Cock, cock, cock, cock certified with a Geneva SEAL. Um, I mean, these guys came out swinging it. 72 hours on their power reserve, 28.8 with 72 hour power reserve, um 27 millimeter jumping hour rectangle, 42 millimeters long, eight thin, seven point nine millimeters thin with uh out of my pk three atmospheres of water resistance. This watch is killer. Uh and of course, it's forty-seven thousand seven hundred and fifty francs in platinum and 44.750 in gold. Oh, good to steel. Isn't platinum less expensive than gold right now? Maybe it's harder in a machine. I don't know. Um
Andrew yeah, I don't know. 50% depos
Everett it required I think they're making 19 of these
Andrew of the metal to commemorate their
Everett the founding year. Uh I mean look. This is just cool.
Andrew Yeah, these are these are really neat. Yeah.
Everett It's expensive, right? Of course it's expensive. As it should be.
Andrew This is like all like the amount of liquid that went into this.
Everett Yeah. To to develop this propri
Andrew etary movement is wild.
Everett Yeah. Um couple criticisms that I've read. It's got a very 70s. It's got a very 70s f
Everett ont. Mm-hmm. Uh which
Everett I could have gone with a different color font
Andrew on the gold. That's that's that
Everett 's the other it's cause it's blue on
Andrew both. And the blue is really good on the platinum and it just it pops. It it gets it's a little muddled on the gold.
Everett Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Um, and then we, you know, we I think this Fratello article I'm reading uh by uh is it yeah, Thomas Van Strad uh suggests that it's got a bit of a snowboard logo vibe to the font, which I can see, right? Like sort of like a Burton or something. And I feel that. But it it's I think it's fine. I think it's fine. I mean, it's not a font that makes me. It matches the
Andrew markers, it matches the hands, it kind of has a
Everett it's a choice. And it's not bad.
Andrew No, it's not comic sans or something stupid.
Everett I actually like the engraved Niton on on the the movement better than I like the 12 that we're seeing on these on their you know press photos.
Andrew Yeah. It's really cool, man. This is a really co
Everett ol watch. It's a watch I will never have, never see. Um, but it's really cool and it's cool to see a brand kind of come out of nowhere debut watch and it's just a fucking heater
Andrew right yeah I think this is much
Everett cooler than the out of RPK jump power that was also released this week.
Andrew Agreed. At least more interesting. Maybe not
Everett cooler. More interesting. More interesting. Ye
Andrew ah. Like w AP, we know you can do this. You're not, you're not
Everett . Good job, AP. Yeah. Way to
Andrew go, high five. Good job, Vashrod. Christopher Ward, another cock certified watch for the day. C60 Trident Lumier, the green 15, uh, with Bark and Jack. So it's a it's a it's a Christopher Ward C60 Trident with a Bark and Jack collaboration. Um we see new fonts on this, new markers. D
Everett id we have Adrian back on the show back in the day
Everett ? I know we talked to him a few times
Everett but I'm not did we ever have Adrian on the show?
Andrew I don't think we did. I think we did
Everett too.
Everett Back when we were cool enough to get someone like Adrian on the show.
Andrew Just anyone on the show. No one wants to come on anymore. Andrew comes and hangs out sometimes, but he's like, you can't record this
Everett . Then we record it and we publish it
Andrew . Got you. Uh so the the the big t the the big change for this is uh contrasting loom plots. So uh green loom used on the 12 to 15 minute track of the bezel and on the minute hand. It's lovely. I like it. I have I have exactly no complaints. It's cost certified. It's got uh Bark and Jack uh engraved logo on the case back. Um yeah. Titanium three link beta bracelet with it. A cool collaboration. They're uh three thousand bucks before you have to pay taxes. Uh limited order window though. So February 5 to February 12. So as you're listening to this, you you your window is closing. If you're interested in the cost certified C60 Trident collaboration with Bark and Jack
Everett . I mean, did you say this is full titanium, right?
Andrew Mm-hmm. Fully grade two titani
Everett um, 1085 thick on this watch, which
Andrew did I not start with that? Ma
Everett ybe you did. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if you if you did and I just missed it. I I mean this is I I think this is a pretty terrific this is a pretty terrific watch. The only thing I'm not crazy about, and I'm sorry, Bark and Jack, Adrian. Uh I don't love that it says Bark and Jack on the dial. I I would just assume that that detail had been omitted. It's so subtle. It is subtle in full light, however, it is loomed
Andrew . Yeah. So I'm fine with that
Everett . Okay. I
Everett do like the case pack. I think it looks great. Yeah, cool watch
Andrew . Yeah. I mean it
Everett 's really a great watch too. The C60 Trident Lumier is just a absolutely terrific watch
Andrew . It is on like constantly on my uh my lust list.
Everett I mean it's hard. It's an expensive watch. It's a three thousand dollar watch. Yeah. It it's it's without a doubt the most appealing um sport watch that Christopher Ward makes. I I think in my in my mind it's the most appealing sport watch Christopher Ward makes.
Andrew I think it's their most competitive with other other watches in that category
Everett . I would uh I think
Andrew this in the in titan I like I think I maybe opt for this over a peligos. Maybe, right? Like you're looking at a thousand bucks, you're looking at a spec sheet that's in the that's in the zone
Everett . Yeah, I wouldn't. I
Andrew I don't like I don't know that I do, right? I don't know either. I haven't I I can't sp I can't speak with my with my dollars on that one, but
Everett but I think I mean I think it is as um I I think it's a really close competitor with the plug plugs. Uh you know, the problem here is for the problem Christopher has is it's their nicest watch and it's you know sort of a mid-range watch for Tudor, right? That's it's like a little that's like a tricky competition. Ye
Andrew ah, there's a discrepancy there. But and in fairness, you know, I bought a Doxa and not this. So
Everett Yeah. Um
Andrew Yeah. Yeah
Everett . Yeah. Um
Everett , I I don't know if this is gotta be
Everett the last one. I'm okay with not talking about
Andrew anything else. Uh
Everett I wanted to talk about the um um Mito Multifort eight
Andrew One Crown. So we tal
Everett ked about the Multifort 2 crowns that were released last year and we said I think mostly positive things about those watches they've now released uh a multi fort eight one crown and you will not be surprised to learn that it has one fewer crown. But
Andrew one crown.
Everett Um, I wanted to talk about this watch because I think it's a really interesting watch in the in the integrated bracelet sport watch world today. So Mito is a brand we don't talk about a ton. We sort
Andrew of they're they're like more
Everett in the last two years. I would say historically we did not.
Andrew They've been pushing the skinny pedal on the right.
Everett That's right. They've been going hard in the paint. That
Andrew 's right. Um this is a 4
Everett 0 millimeter integrated bracelet sport watch with good water resist
Andrew ance, 100 meters, that comes in
Everett under 10 millimeters. It's a 9.9 millimeter integrated steel sport watch with you know a decent movement. You've got a uh I I don't know what they call it the caliber 80, but it's a you know powermatic movement, which you know, Nivcron balance. Uh and so you sort of like and it comes in at a thousand seventy
Andrew . Yeah. Like compar
Everett ed to you know a TSO PRX por ejemplo. Um man
Andrew . Yeah. Taking this ever
Everett y day of the week. Every day. It
Andrew has all the same like 60s, 70s vibes. It has the horizontal
Everett yeah great horizontal teak dial
Andrew yeah uh it's they're on the map in a way that they haven't been
Everett so you can get this in blue or black
Andrew the black is the way to go
Everett i the b the well i uh you know me andrew
Andrew and you don't go back black dial ever
Everett y day this blue is really nice it is sort of a royal blue with just a tou
Everett ch maybe just a touch of purple
Everett in it that gives it like a little electric but it's not offensive I really like this blue dot may
Andrew be we see blue differently o
Everett kay okay I don't know what you're taking umbrage with, but I'
Andrew m not taking umbridge. I'm just saying that the way you describe that blue is not how I'm seeing it. This is like electric
Everett with a touch of purple? No, I don't see
Andrew any purple in this. I'm seeing I'm seeing like like summer sky blue. Sure. And
Everett there may even be just a touch of purple
Andrew in a summer sky. There is not. I
Everett accept your objection, and we'll just move it right along, okay? F
Andrew ucker. Idiot
Everett . And you can obviously get this on a stainless steel strap or a rubber bracelet. The smart money is on a stainless steel strap. B
Andrew racelet! Bracelet. A stainless
Everett steel bracelet. What did I say? A stain
Andrew less steel strap or a rubber bracelet. Yeah, that was stupid.
Everett I did a dumb though. You did.
Andrew Which only served my point. This is not purple. Take a look for yourself, the color. The the blue is the is good. The black is mayor
Everett . Yeah. Yeah. Very good. Very, very, very cool watch. Really, really well priced. I I half expected this watch to be seventeen hundred dollars. I
Andrew I did too when I looked at it and you sent it to me. I was like, oh, we're gonna look at a 2000
Everett . Oh huh. Hey
Everett , look at this. Did you did you remember that the
Everett uh the two crown came
Everett in an agave blue
Andrew ? It's not as green. Okay
Everett . Alright, move it along. It doesn't say agave blue. I just said that because I thought it was funny. It
Andrew it's also really good. I like the twin stick better. Um I just I think with the angles. I like this better. I with with how many angles are on this, I I like the the twin stick balance that it brings. But I can't uh argue at all with the thickness of this.
Everett Andrew, other things. What you got? Oh,
Andrew so I recently got a TV show recommendation from somebody whose TV show recommendations have historically not been very good.
Everett Sure. And he's like, you gotta watch this. And
Andrew I watched it, and I've been like, I don't know why we're friends
Everett . Uh, but he is like, hey
Andrew , have you watched Free Bert? I was like, no. Is this the fucking B
Everett ert Kreisher? It is. God, I hate B
Everett urt Kreisers. I I you know,
Andrew I have mixed feelings on him. The the show cracked me up. It was it was almost like a stand-up comedy special, but like set in sitcom world. Uh I I mean it's six episodes on Netflix and they're 20-some minutes. It was very funny from start to finish. Uh, and and I also I think that Bert is a little bit of a one-trick pony as a comedian. in his stand-up. But the way he so the whole premise of the show is that him and his based on family but actors family relocate to this bougie neighborhood and send their kids to this bougie school, and they're desperately trying to fit in. And his wife is like, Hey, you gotta do these things to fit in. He's like, Fine, I'll do these things to fit in. And then he's way more better at it than her. And it's just showing this like him kind of
Everett uh assimilating.
Andrew Yeah, assimilating to this environment and finding himself to be very successful at it. Uh but all of the bumps and hiccups along the way as written by comedians to just kind of be ridiculous the whole time. And it was fun. Uh it was just fun. It it wasn't Burt Kreischer comedy, like it's not just him yelling about being the machine for six episodes. Sure, sure. Um which because that's like kind of his thing. It's like you watch it and you're like, okay, I've heard that story. Okay, I've heard that story. Seeing him try to fit into the
Everett movie? Okay, yes, still heard the story. Yeah, see
Andrew seeing him fit into the mold of of something a little bit different was fun. And it it was it was just really funny like I just I started an episode and I was like yep I'm ready to not sleep tonight and I I burned it up uh if you if if you care about just like shitty vulgar comedy and that amuses you. Because I'm 12 years old. Uh it it did that for me. Start to finish.
Everett In the tile for this that you sent me, he is is
Andrew he's not wearing a shirt. Not wearing a shirt
Everett and hugging his daughters, which God, I
Andrew fucking hate Burke Crasher. Uh I'm I'm telling you may or may not watch it.
Everett Do or don't uh it
Andrew it made me laugh.
Everett Andrew, you know that uh that circumstance where you have a thing that you didn't want to buy in the first place and then it's not very good, but it is just good enough. And so you don't replace it because you don't want to buy another one because you didn't want to buy it in the first place. And so you just
Andrew That's like 80% of the things in my home. For years
Everett drag yourself along with this shitty thing. So that's how I have been with a kitchen scale. I about well, I can tell you what it was. It would have been in 2012. I bought a kitchen scale. So 13 years ago.
Andrew That's a I that's a good pitch for the scale that you had.
Everett And I got I got a scale
Andrew 13 years. I did the thing that you should
Everett n't do, which is to say I just like picked one up at Target or Walmart, I can't remember which, and I just like went to the store and got the thing
Andrew , which I know now
Everett not to do that. My wife will still do that from time to time. And I'm like, don't do that. Like just we'll take ten minutes and we'll order the right thing. Because the thing they have at target is almost certainly
Andrew the worst possible thing. The worst
Everett possible thing. And not because it's Target. Target has some good shit, but like just because the the stuff that makes it onto the shelf is not as good as the thing that you can do with just a little bit of work
Andrew . Yeah. Just the
Everett sm smallallest. Theest amount of work. So anyway, I did that thing, and then for the last so recently, so this thing never worked very well. And it was never very accurate. It would like jump, you know, you know, measuring in like grams was just a nightmare. You know, it would jump from like 47 to 53 grams. You know, you add like a pinch. A pinch
Andrew a single grain of salt. So
Everett it's always been that way, which is annoying because you know it's not very epic. I'm surprised it lasted 1
Andrew 3 years in your life. Um and
Everett and then recently the tear button broke. It it just wasn't working. It would work intermittently, but then sometimes you'd set the tear and it would like start jumping around. And I was like, okay, it's time. And so I spent about 15 minutes researching kitchen scales. And of cour
Andrew se you can
Everett get any number of really sort you can get expensive kitchen scales, you can get scales, micro scales, you can get big scales, you can get scales that measure in tiny little increments. The one thing I
Everett kept coming back to in
Everett almost every list was this brand called Ascali. And every list seemed to have genuine reflections of this is so-and-so's favorite scale, it's inexpensive, it just works. It just works. Uh specifically the Escali Primo Digital Food Scale, Multifunction, Kitchen Scale, and Baking Scale. And so many
Andrew colors. I pulled this thing up
Everett on Amazon and it's thirty bucks. It's thirty bucks. You can's a there's a cou
Andrew pon right now for 23.91
Everett . You can get it in chrome for 26.95. You can get it in black for 28, lavender for 29. I got it in
Everett tarragon grain, which is a lovely s
Everett ort of, I would call a pistachio. It's got a it's fully resin body. And I got it. I got it. It came in a little box and I opened it up and I measured 50 grams of flour and I threw the box away with the old scale inside of it. I just took the whole thing. I didn't recycle or anything. I just took it and ceremoniously threw it in the garbage can, kind of hard Did you
Andrew did you measure fifty grams of flour, remove it, reset, and remeasure that same amount of flour?
Everett No, I didn't. I'm sure it's right.
Andrew I did not. I didn't do that. I it it
Everett was just the type of thing. I did it and I had two thoughts ran through my head. One, I complet I have a hundred percent confidence in this scale. And B, I'm so stupid for not having bought a new scale a billion years ago. Twelve years
Andrew ago. Yeah. 12 years. That's
Everett right. Um yeah. It's just
Everett so this is not an expensive. This is another
Everett thing. It I think if you need a new kitchen scale, you should consider getting this one. You
Andrew probably do need a new kitchen scale. Not if you need, just objectively, you probably do need one. This thing's
Everett 30 bucks and it and it's just I I mean it it's such a silly thing. It's such a silly thing. And this is not fancy. I mean Andrew Andrew's looking at this. This is not a fancy So I
Andrew I'll say first I I have a kitchen scale that I've had for probably five or six years. The one thing that I don't like about it is that it's a totally flat design. So it's upward facing screen, upward facing sensor. So if I put a big bowl on it, I'm like craning down and around to be able to read my measurements. This has an offset and a slight angle on your readout so that you can have a little bit bigger thing sitting on top of the scale and still have visibility to the screen
Everett . That's right. That's right. And and I mean if you have very specific needs, if you know, you know, you need to be able to measure into like 0.01 somet,hing or the other, or whatever, uh, you know, uh your your mileage may vary. I'm not I'm not advocating that this is a highly technical. I'm saying if all you need is like a simple general purpose kitchen scale and you're not totally happy with the one you have, just fuck a ditch it and buy one of these. I I was so it was like you
Everett know when whatever. I don't know
Everett like you do that thing fin finallyally. You paint the baseboards in the hallway, and you're like, Oh my gosh, why didn't I do that a billion years ago? It was like that. I was just like, God
Andrew . Because I wasn't sell the house. Ye
Everett ah. Man, oh
Everett man. So, anyway, that's my other thing for
Everett the week. It is I I mean, I I don't think that's super atypical for my other things, but I think I'm not telling you how great this thing is. Cause I I don't think it's great
Andrew . It's just objectively better than the thing that you got on a whim because kitchen scales are often bought like oh I need one of these fucking things today.
Everett It's perfectly capable, which is exactly what I need it to be. Like I don't care, nobody ever
Everett sees my kitchen scale. I don't need it
Everett to be fancy. I'm not like trying to flex on anybody. Like I actually just be able need to be able to measure 50 grams of flour, which I could kind of do two weeks ago, and now I can just do
Andrew something there. What were you measuring 50 grams of flour for?
Everett Starter? Oh yeah
Andrew . You measure? Ye
Everett ah. Oh man, I know I do measure. I think that that repeatability gives you consistent results, which uh helps you, if your results are inconsistent, it helps you understand
Andrew why. I get I guess with my eyeball. I measure I just I I don't weight measure my flour for my starter. I just scoop measure
Everett volumetric scoop. And then I I ey
Andrew eball the water and I I I I eyeball off of the consistency. I found the consistency that I want. S
Everett ure Sure. And and that's where I go to.
Everett I don't measure what I take out, but I do measure what I put in. So it's always one to one.
Andrew Oh, I always measure what I take out. Oh ye

Everett . Oh, you measure what you take out for what you're using. Ye
