Welcome back to your favourite watch-related Podcast!

It’s that time of the year again… Watches & Wonders is upon us and the boys are going back to Geneva to cover the greatest (watch) show on earth.

This episode also sees the return of the unofficial third host of the CP7 Podcast, Editor-at-Large for WatchTime magazine, Martin Green. With it being a bit of a reunion, the boys celebrate with a dram (or two) of whisky, with some hilarious results!

Join us as we talk about our reflections on last year’s show, our expectations of this year’s show and what are we most looking forward to at this amazing horological spectacle in the heart of Geneva.

Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast!

To mark 260 years of one of the most important brands in British watchmaking and horological history, Arnold & Son, we speak to their engaging CEO and consummate gentleman, Pascal Béchu.

Sit back and learn about some of the most mind-blowing historical stories about the brand, created by John Arnold and his son John Roger Arnold in 1764. Discover how he went from a humble watchmaker to making watches for a British king, a world famous nautical explorer, and the home of timekeeping, London's Greenwich Observatory. It doesn't end there the discussion continues with John Arnold's watchmaking relationship, legacy and collaborations with one Abraham Louis Breguet, and were they really BOTH behind the creation of the tourbillon?

It's not just a history lesson, we talk about modern-day Arnold & Son and how the brand, under Pascal, is striving to keep every element of the brand's history and heritage alive and up to date in this modern watchmaking era.

It is indeed an honour and a pleasure to mark the launch of Arnold & Son's brand new Constant Force Tourbillon today too, with them choosing Chrono Passion 7 to be the first podcast to talk about it and discuss it before Watches & Wonders 2025 where it will be launched as their novelty for the big show.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk history, modernity, and a possible inspiration for MBNF and their Legacy Machine.

Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast!

Our latest guest has recently quite literally taken watch-social media by storm. In the space of just a few months, Emily Marsden and her Secret Diary of a Watch Girl Instagram account has not only led to meteoric rise in popularity in an unbelievable way, but her collaboration shows with YouTube's Just Hast have catapulted her to heights even she cannot believe.

We find out how this young lady from Bolton, a town in the north of England, went from hanging out at Watches of Switzerland in Manchester as a school girl, to being a champion for the incredible brand IWC, now being invited to hang out regularly at Watches & Wonders.

What, or who, was her inspiration and why does she love IWC so much? Find out this and much more, including her favourite IWC and the real reason you should be looking the brand, not forgetting the innovations of watchmaking royalty and nonagenarian Kurt Klaus. Omega has the Moonwatch and space, Rolex has the rich history and marketing led aspirational appeal, what is it that IWC needs to do to put in in the eyes and minds more of watch enthusiasts and buyers alike?

On a lighter note, beyond her public persona, Emily reveals her extreme watch nerdery, complete with meticulous spreadsheets that even left horology icon Roger Smith speechless!

We even sneak in a quick Watches & Wonders 2025 prediction, so for lots of fun, journey stories, and, of course, a ton of watch talk, buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk to the very engaging Emily Marsden.
