Ep #35: Geneva Watch Days Preview - The Return To Where It All Began
Listen to full episode :
A very special topic on this show, the CP7 boys return to the scene of the crime, the birthplace of this Podcast, Geneva Watch Days. You've heard the rumours, but now hear the genuine origin story of the CP7 Podcast, and how big guests and big brands were there from its inception.
To kick off the boys talk about their recent summer breaks and watch meet ups. Andy held a RedBar Barcelona event and Parm paid his first visit to a Time 4A Pint watch meet in London. Discover what happened during both meets in both cities and the great watch people they met.
Then on to the main topic, Geneva Watch Days 2024, the world’s largest show for independent watch brands. There are so many independent brands at the show both high end and well-priced, and the boys spill the beans on who they are most looking forward to meeting. So out goes Rolex, Omega, Cartier and Patek Philippe and in comes De Bethune, MB&F, Nivada Grenchen, Moser, Krayon, and many, many more.
So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk Geneva Watch Days, imposter syndrome, beer and watches, and a plethora of independent brands.
