In the full episode, Tim Mosso discusses luxury watches with our global audience of watch buyers and collectors. We cover discuss Rolex watches, IWC watches, Jaeger-LeCoultre watches (and new CEO), MB&F watches, and watches for superheroes. Our discussion of watches takes a theatrical turn as we consider which luxury watches best suit the Avengers. The Hulk and Bruce Banner are a natural pair for the 2012 IWC Pilot’s Watch Father and Son (5009 and 3255, respectively); Captain America would wear a vintage US Navy Hamilton BUShips canteen crown service-issue; Iron Man has issues fitting his watch under a “suit” cuff, so Tim recommends the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Jubilee; Black Panther clearly made serious bank with his recent solo-feature, but he’s a head-of-state who needs to show discretion, and the king of Wakanda likes exotic metals, so a titanium Ochs Und Junior annual calendar is the natural choice; Loki is villain with outside delusions of grandeur and a baby-sized wrist, so an Hublot Oceanographic 4000 in Hublot King Gold is the natural choice. The Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris Geographic World Timer is a new 42mm world time and dual time watch from the 2018 Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris collection. This model features a spectacular blue gradient dial and a Jaeger LeCoultre caliber 936 automatic movement; water resistance to 100 meters has been promised, and the watch will be available exclusively at Jaeger LeCoultre boutiques for 13,650 euros. IWC comes roaring back from an already strong SIHH 2018 with its Pilot’s Watch Chronograph IW377724, a tribute to the original 1994 IWC 3706 Pilot’s Watch Chronograph. With patina-style  dial, classic IWC flieger chronograph style, and an attractive price of $4,950 U.S., this IWC e-boutique exclusive (until October 2018) offers an attractive bargain proposition. MB&F surprises and delights with the latest version of its SIHH 2017 MB&F HM7 Aquapod; the MB&F Aquapod Ti Green. Now available for $108,000 US, the 50-piece MB&F HM7 Aquapod reprises the automatic tourbillon movement from 2016 with new green-glowing AGT Ultra lume blocks. Finally, we discuss Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new CEO Catherine Alix-Ranier, Swiss watch export data for March 2018, the “best article of the week,” and wrist shots from our global audience of watch collectors. Our audience will offer its commentary alongside Tim’s thoughts during this interactive wristwatch web show. Remember to like, comment, and subscribe for more great content from The 1916 Company.
