In today's Watch Collection Talk episode, I am joined once again by the horological legend and watch industry entrepreneur Marc Frankel of Long Island Watch. We discuss the best new watch releases of the year for 2020 thus far, including a wide range of watches-from the affordable level (starting around $50) to super high end luxury at $50,000 and beyond.
We share what we love about each watch and what we don't, how the industry is changing, trends we see happening, our thoughts on each timepiece from both a design and engineering perspective, and our mutual watch obsession. So grab your favourite drink, get comfortable, and enjoy this fun and laidback special extended show.
Spoilers ahead! In this video we cover the following watches:
Seiko Presage Arita SRPE55, Grand Seiko GMT SBDJ237, Fortis Flieger Chronograph F-43, Dan Henry 1937 and 1939 (Chocolate Dial), SQUALE 1521 T183 Carbon 60 Atmos, Audemars Piguet Remaster 01, Breguet Classique 7137, Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue, Omega Seamaster Nekton 210.32.42.20.01.002, Casio G-Shock GBX100 and GMS5600, Marathon GSAR Midsize 36mm (White Dial), Islander ISL-18, Formex Essence Leggera Chronometer (Forged Carbon Dial) 0330-4-6399-8114, Yema Superman Bronze GMT, Sinn U50, Seiko 5 Sports SRPE55K1, Casio Duro MDV-106B-2AVCF, Zentih El-Primero Revival A386 Chronomaster, and Longines Tuxedo Heritage Chronograph L2.830.4.93.0.

This site has such great content and these vids with Marc are excellent. I've watched so many videos about watches, getting closer and closer to the rabbit hole on so many models, some of them quite pricey (and trying not to be "influenced"), but this video drew me to the "bezel-less" Seiko 5 which I bought and like so much that it could even be my grail watch at less than US$200!
