Episode 86 – Less Rant, More Omega

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

This week, John makes it through the entire show without a single rant while discussing Omega and the start of this years ‘Holliday watch guide’. So who did they name? Seiko, Citizen, Luminox, Hamilton, Prometheus, just to name a few.Note: For some reason, Tumblr is no longer embedding podcasts. You can pop over here to see the post on the site. Not sure what the heck is up. Update: This seemed to work, but isn’t exactly right. Still troubleshooting.Download MP3Subscribe in iTunesRSS Feed

Episode 84 – Cigars, Ski Masks, DeLoreans and Glad Handing

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


This week on HTS we speak about Ariel’s visit to Arizona Fine Time and Grand Seiko and how shopping for watches that cost more then your home with a skimask is actually a bad idea. We also do a fly by of the MB&F Legacy Machine No. 1 Watch and look forward to Romain Jerome’s take on incorporating DNA of the iconic DeLorean in to a watch.  

Will going 88MPH with this bad boy on make you travel through time?  Probably not … but trying may let you travel to traffic court.  

“Why, hello officer … “

Special note: Please consider donating to the Double Rain Beau Fund for Beau, our intrepid audio guy. He, like we, are doing this as a labor of love and he’s facing some rough road ahead.
