149. How ‘Hublot’ Can You Go?, Tape Your Brown Watch To The Wall, And Double-Denim Design

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick is back in the proverbial saddle, and the laughs are on high volume again. Ripley is adorned in Tudor cycling gear from head to toe, and Rick admonishes the team by noting their "rubbishment" of Panerai from last week's show, which David wholeheartedly defends. When they get down to business, the "JaGUar" (stet) rebrand is the first item on the docket. (Rick pronounces the word phonetically, which seems to be a British thing.) Then, the guys wax sardonic on a $6.2 million banana "art piece," which segues into a convo about why ABTW doesn't cover watch auctions. Next up, they muse about the pantone color of the year, "mellow brown" and ponder whether or not this will trickle down to watch design. They get serious about Hublot's newest release, complaining about a whole lot of things. As (almost) always, they end with the traditional Hit, Miss, Maybe.
