Scottish Watches Podcast #736 : Our Festive Final Recording of The Year!

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 736! This episode opens with a detailed look at Sartory Billard’s SP-04E Exquisite Blue limited edition, created in collaboration with Florida retailer Exquisite Timepieces. The piece features a multi-layer guilloché dial, a sapphire chapter ring, and an explanation of why the colourway feels unapologetically Scottish despite its US roots. From there, we discuss Zeitwinkel’s 10th-anniversary collaboration with The Limited Edition, examining the German brand’s case construction, in-house movement, and why this release divides opinion even among fans. We then move into Konstantin Chaykin’s Birth of Venus Wristmon for GMT Milano, unpacking the artistic reference, the charity connection, and where humour, provocation, and good taste intersect in modern watchmaking. PlayStation’s 30th-anniversary automatic watch from Anicorn, Seiko’s Pink Panther Seiko 5 release and its inevitable sell-out, and what recent UK sales figures from Breitling, TAG Heuer, and LVMH Watches & Jewellery reveal about a cooling luxury market compared with continued strength from Rolex and Patek Philippe. We also share Dubai Watch Week follow-ups and upcoming interviews with industry heavyweights, like the one we have today with Xavier on the new Czapek Quai des Bergues Sursum Corda.
