Anyone who thinks the @audemarspiguet x @swatch Royal Pop is anything but great for *both* brands AND everyone who loves watches is just missing the point. I could not love this more.

Is this the hottest release of 2026 so far? @Rolex just introduced the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona ref. 126502, and @benclymer walks through the details. The stainless steel case is paired with platinum accents, with the key update being a four-piece enamel dial that sets it apart from previous steel Daytonas. Head over to Hodinkee for Ben’s full article, and on our YouTube channel he breaks down what makes this new reference stand out.

In this month’s Talking Watches, @benclymer sits down with Christian Bangert (@onlybuyingtime), a collector focused less on status and more on substance. “I fall in love with the person and the story… everything has such emotional, sentimental value that parting with it is hard to begin with,” he says, walking Ben through a collection shaped by long-standing relationships with independent watchmakers—including figures like Simon Brette on the Chronomètre Artisans. It’s an approach that challenges easy assumptions about what modern collecting can be.Head over to the Hodinkee YouTube channel for the full episode.

You never who who might show up at @hodinkee HQ any given afternoon. Today, it’s @maxbda from @bernardinimilano who we first brought to our followers back in 2013 on #theroadtobasel.Max and Ben share a love for both @universalgeneve and @patekphilippe and today they were both wearing the latter. The two watches were made more than 100 years apart!

When I was 15 years old, I used to go to my hometown jeweler (@mannsjewelers) and go up to the @cartier counter to beg to try on the Roadster. It was my dream watch then.25 years later, @stroman made my dream come true and gave me his own personal Roadster after we filmed #talkingwatches. I can’t tell you how taken aback I was. So grateful to finally have a Roadster in the collection!
