I bought the Omega Spirate they refer to at the end. At least on my timegrapher the watch is running very well (0 spd, 295 amplitude, 0.1 BE), and I think the watch looks cool, but it’s likely true the new system will never be widely adopted, including by Omega.
1916 as a company has lost some credibility with me after watching a few interviews with Kevin O’Leary. I am not again Kevin at all, he is a character. It’s the way 1916 CEO kissing Kevin’s ass, singing high praises of some obviously “only collectibles for non watch enthusiast rich people” makes me feel this company is not serious about real watch collecting. That’s my bias.
Very interesting interview, especially the comments toward the end regarding innovations in watch technology that have been disregarded or abandoned for one reason or another.

this is excellent news! i do see they that there are super racings listed on c24, but interesting it has remained just in that model for now.
Love the crossover episode with two of my favorite watch writers! (+the shoutout to Chris Hall!)
a real substack fest

Great episode, but seriously shocked that VC didn’t come up once during the whole episode… they owned 2025..
