Episode 131 – Depth Charges, Lasers, Robot Faces & Watches and Garbage Trucks and Cholex

podcasts

Welcome to the HourTime show, the best 30 minute (+/-) hour podcast on the web.

In this weeks episode we discuss:

 

We sincerely apologize for the utter rudeness of the waste pickup crew who audio-bombed our podcast from 19:19 – 23:00(ish). I mean, can’t you pick up the trash at 4am like they did in the olden days? You know, when you are trying to sleep, not recording. Geez!

We are also looking to some designs for the (much heard-of) Cholex from our listener-ship. For the details on what is required, listen carefully from 27:26 – to the end then go … create … WIN!

    Son of b. I had a sweet post and it looks like it didn’t go through. Hopefully I’m not double posting.

    I’m not the best at design, but here is my entry for El Jefe Grande

    As far a specifications go, here is what I’m thinking:

    First, it should be somewhere between the 42-45 mm range in size. It needs to be a tool watch, so no expensive materials. It needs to be a dive watch (Orange Monster inspired) and if it could get ISO standards for a dive watch, that would be even better. A signed, screw-down crown with nice knurling on it is a plus.

    Second, knowing Biggs’ hatred of three handers, it needs to have a small-seconds subdial along with a date function (no 3-day date window!). Give it a unidirectional bezel and as much as I want to say Sapphire for the crystal, I think mineral would be acceptable in terms of cost.

    Third, since Seiko updated the Monster to have hacking seconds and hand-winding, it would be great to see those options as well. I would eschew an exhibition back in favor of an engraved back with your faces on it.

    Fourth, lume! I’m tired of dinky lume on watches that goes away quickly. Lume on the (Alpina T-Rex) hands and indicators would be great.

    Finally, put it on a bracelet with the option to purchase a strap (either a nice leather a la Teenage Grandpa-style, or a nice rubber strap… NO NATO) to go with it.

    Rip off a couple themes from Roger Dubuis for your marketing and you are good to go.

    The ad campaign should play your funky intro music and show hot guys with their watches by the pool, laughing at parties and driving $200,000 cars with their babes hanging on to them and the Isaac Hays-esque voice should ask us, “Are you “Cholaxin’?” I totally see it
