>> MATT FARAH: Hey, everyone,
welcome to the "Watch and Listen
Podcast". It's a podcast all
about watches with myself, Matt
Farrah, and your host Cameron
Weiss. This episode of the
"Watch and Listen Podcast" is
brought to you by Crown &
Caliber. Crown & Caliber is the
official luxury watch retailer
of the "Watch and Listen
Podcast". They stock every brand
you can think of from Rolex and
Omega to Patek Philippe,
Audemars Piguet, Vacheron,
Blancpain, and even some very
odd balls from companies that
don't exist anymore. They've got
aggressive prices. They have
fair trade-in values. Yes, I
said trade-in. You can trade
your watch in to Crown & Caliber
for an upgrade, or if you
wanted, a downgrade. You can
trade your watch in for cash if
you want, and that is very nice.
They work by mail as well. So if
you're not in the state of
Georgia, there could be some
benefits for you for buying a
watch from Crown & Caliber. Code
Matt 150, M-a-t-t 150, will get
you $150 off anything you buy at
Crown & Caliber. It's one-time
use per person, so you can't use
it over and over. However, we
know from the trackings that a
few people have actually bought
watches using that code, and I
hope you are happy with them.
Additionally, at the end of this
podcast, it is watch madness
over at Crown & Caliber. We've
got a bracket going. Who will
have the top spot in watches?
And you guys can play along at
home and win some baller ass
prizes from Crown & Caliber. I'm
talking about you can win
straps, gift certificates,
service, and even Swiss watches.
I don't know what brands or
models they are giving away, but
they will be giving away some
watches. Check it out at
crownandcaliber.com. And at the
end of this podcast, Cameron and
I are going to go through our
watch madness brackets. It will
be done by voting, I believe.
Check it all out at
crownandcaliber.com, get your
bracket filled out, play against
us and win some prizes. This
episode of "Watch and Listen" is
also brought to you by Beeline
Coffee. I'm drinking it right
now. It's delicious. From light
roast with a light body to dark
roast to espresso roast. If
you're into cars -- if you're
not into cars but you're into
watches -- and you love a good,
delicious sip of Java, Beeline
Coffee has you covered. Cameron
Weiss has a roast. I have a
roast. And the reason that we
work with them, we run on coffee
basically. Cameron's putting
watches together all day. I'm
doing e-mails, driving all over
the world. The two of us run on
coffee, and Beeline Coffee keeps
us going. It's delicious. Code
Chrono, C-h-r-o-n-o, Chrono,
will get you 15% off your entire
order at Beeline Coffee.com, no
matter how big or small. You can
get one bag. You can get ten
bags, or you can get a
subscription plan for Beeline
Coffee, and I'll give you 15%
off your entire order if you use
code Chrono. Also, if you listen
to the other podcast, code TST
works as well. And now on this
episode of "Watch and Listen",
Cameron and I are going to go
through what we call the family
tree of watches. Pretty much all
major watch manufacturers are
related by a few different
parent companies and suppliers,
and we're going to take you
through that family tree right
about now.

>> MATT FARAH: Hello, everyone.
It's "Watch and Listen." What's
happening? Matt Farrah here
yapping at you from the
starboard side of the ship with
my boy Cameron Weiss. What's
happening, brother?
>> CAMERON WEISS: It's just --
I'm kind of in awe by all of
these watches right now.
>> MATT FARAH: Cameron's got an
orgy of watches in front of him.
>> CAMERON WEISS: Yeah.
>> Right now, which Crown &
Caliber has sent over for the
purposes of this demonstration.
We haven't recorded an episode
in a couple weeks. I went on
vacationes, and as it turns out,
the Rolex GMT-Master makes a
good snorkeling watch in the
Galapagos.
>> CAMERON WEISS: I was going to
ask what you were wearing.
>> MATT FARAH: I wore the
GMT-Master, and I felt pretty
silly because everyone was
hyperpractical. Hyperpractical,
like a lot of Casio digitals.
Everyone was like South America,
hide your bling, you know.
Although actually my dad wore a
watch that for our Cheap Watches
Too, whenever we do our Cheap
Watches Too, my dad got a
Luminox, which I think is a good
functional quartz. It's a Navy
S.E.A.L. watch.
>> CAMERON WEISS: Perfect for
the dad look.
>> MATT FARAH: Really bright,
bright lume paint. We actually
have a little bit of
housekeeping before we get into
this episode, the family tree of
watches. You went to the hodinky
L.A. meetup. How was it?
>> CAMERON WEISS: It was great.
I had a lot of fun actually. It
was the rooftop of the Ace
Hotel.
>> MATT FARAH: Which is a good
spot.
>> CAMERON WEISS: It's a great
spot.
>> MATT FARAH: That's cool.
Here's the thing. I used to go
into car shows, right? And you
can go into car shows and look
at someone's car, and then they
like notice that you're looking
at their car, but with watches,
it's kind of creepy to be
staring at dude's hands, right?
>> CAMERON WEISS: You know what,
though, when you go to a watch
event --
>> MATT FARAH: That's expected.
>> CAMERON WEISS: That's
expected, and you kind of --
when you first get there, you're
a little kind of freaked out by
it, looking around kind of
peering at everybody's wrists.
>> MATT FARAH: Eyes down,
everybody.
>> CAMERON WEISS: But then you
realize everybody's doing that,
and people are just taking off
their watches. You, of course,
have those people who have two
watches on, three watches on.
>> MATT FARAH: Did someone have
a three?
>> CAMERON WEISS: Or watches in
every pocket, things like that,
yeah.
>> MATT FARAH: Because that's
the thing. You can only bring
one car to the show, but in
theory, you could roll strapped
with a few different watches.
>> CAMERON WEISS: Yeah, I prefer
to do one timepiece and then
leave the rest to people's
imagination, and you can bring
something out at a different
time.
>> MATT FARAH: People's
imagination (laughter).
>> CAMERON WEISS: What does that
guy have at home. If there's
something on his wrist, there
must be something cool at home.
