This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, David has now gone missing in the Eurasian Steppe, so Ariel and Rick are by their old pal Simon from Escapement24. Things start with more chat about this year's Only Watch catalog, then moves on to Ariel's recent conversation with Evelyne Genta, the wife of watchmaker Gerald Genta. The three then get into some recent releases, including a lively discussion of the retro goodness of the Bulova Jet Star, Yema's take on the integrated bracelet sports watch, and a Cartier Santos-Dumont with a tiny little plane. Rick then offers an update on the Omega auction scandal and the storm that struck La Chaux-de-Fonds. Finally, the crew welcomes Rick's niece Christy for a round of Hit, Miss, Maybe!
