Ep #37: Watch Talk, Watch Talk, and More Watch Talk! - The Return of Martin Green
Listen to full episode :
Yes he’s back, back again!
The resident gentleman of The CP7 Podcast, Mr Martin Green. Interrupting his busy schedule in the Netherlands, Martin finally prioritised between being Editor At Large for Watch Time USA magazine, and the GPHG Academy’s voting panel to take his place as the unofficial third member of Chrono Passion 7!
This episode was supposed to be the CP7 Geneva Watch Days Review Part 2 but the opportunity of having Martin on was too good to pass up. So as Martin missed Geneva Watch Days 2024 he asks the boys a few questions to calm his FOMO before the real watch talk begins.
Do we really need a quest for the world’s thinnest watch? Why are some three dial chronographs called Bicompax and not Tricompax? Which independent brands are the ones to look out for? But most importantly, which watches have been caught on the radar of our trio?
So buckle up, sit back, and enjoy the ride for a lot of watch talk, fun and special insights from your favourite watch-related podcast!
