Over the last few days, we've gone in-depth on the latest from Rolex & Tudor and dissected this year's crop of high-end watches from Lange, Patek, and Vacheron . Now, it's time to dig into the much-loved meat and potatoes of the watch world: The well-made, hard-wearing sport watches that you can rock day-in and day-out. And, luckily for us, there's a lot to talk about. James and Cole join me in the virtual studio to dig into this wide array of sport watches (and one or two other things, for good measure). We weigh in on the ideal size for an IWC Pilot's Watch , talk about Montblanc's savvy collection updates , and discuss the finer points of Panerai's experiments with unusual materials . There are a few hotter-than-usual takes and, as always, these guys provide some excellent perspective that you won't want to miss. We hope you enjoy this special episode of HODINKEE Radio.
