February News – Ed Sheeran opens up, plus corporate shenanigans from Patek Philippe, LVMH and Audemars Piguet

Feb 3, 2022

No time for guests when we've got so much hard-hitting watch news to digest. First of all, two titans in their respective fields square off: it's Ed Sheeran V Ben Clymer in 50 minutes of civilised watch chat. Then we escalate into the world of bright blue watches, with Zachary Lu being revealed as the (eventual) buyer of the first Tiffany blue Nautilus auctioned off by Phillips for a cool $6 million. From there, we talk about the Arnault's chess-flex, and Succession style rumours of corporate takeovers, along with new management for AP, new owners for GP and UN, and finally, some new TAG Heuer. Honestly, this episode has it all.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Artem Straps. Check out their sailcloth straps here.
