This episode takes a look back at an eventful week that included the surprise release of the Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop. I offer my views on the collaboration and what it says about the broader enthusiast space and conjecture around watches. Additionally, the CWC Ti 300 Dive watch gets a closer look, especially as it relates to the Tudor FXD. Through this lens, I also tackle the question of tool watches over the $500 price point. Finally, a few thoughts on the Ulysse Nardin Super Freak.
