Vintage Watches, Full-Gold vs. Two-Tone, and What Watches Need a Refresh? | The 1916 Company Podcast

In this episode, Tim and Armand dive deep into the world of watch collecting, kicking things off with a spirited discussion on vintage timepieces. What truly qualifies as "vintage"? And where does the term "neo-vintage" come from, anyway? From there, the conversation shifts to gold watches — including some personal favorites — and how they stack up against their two-tone counterparts. To wrap things up, they explore which watches might be overdue for a design refresh, whether in looks, mechanics, or both.
