Life & Watches with Horology Republic

Larry and Zachary sit down to discuss the AP collab now that everyone and anyone has offered their opinions. What made it work? What turned us off to watches, and what could be done in the future. Who would we be surprised to see a collab with in the future?

AND

Who shouldn't EVER do one of these bioceramic collaborations? We talk all things like that and explore a few of the finer points of what these collaborations mean and how it may not even translate into real sales.

Lastly, we discuss the social media account as the new boutique: This is how you get people in the door and drum up interested, so are your IG accounts the new boutique for everyone, even those who aren't close to a location? Listen and hear what we have to say.

Follow us @horologyrepublic @psywarwristcheck and MAKE SURE you check the Horology Republic website for the events calendar to see which events we have upcoming. Buy tickets, get directions, all of it is right there for you to explore!

Larry and Zachary sit down to talk about some of the releases from Watches & Wonders 2026. Some were hits, some were misses, but overall the designs showed restraint (for the most part) and display an evolving watch culture centered around the push and pull of Swiss executives and the consumers they pretend to listen to.

Zac and Larry return to discuss integrated sports watches through the lens of IWC. The Ingenieur: Does it belong? Is it kind of an oddball? Could it simply be relegated to an also-ran? We unpack this and discuss what it means to have this particular model in IWC's catalog these days when the integrated sports watch has seen a resurgence and even another slight fading back into relative obscurity.

ALSO HOT: Should you put your Rolex into a dishwasher to clean it after working long hours as a chef? Maybe. Will it still work flawlessly? Perhaps. We explore this after Zac runs into a local and is told this exact story. Dishwashing a Rolex...would you be brave enough for it?

Zac and Larry sit down in a mostly unscripted episode to discuss what makes a thoughtful watch move when planning your next purchase. Is it the name? Is the material? Is it something else? We took a look at what it means to each of us to make a decision not based on external hype and instead, focus on what matters to us as individual collectors.

We also discussed some recent releases and how they may be targeting those on the fence for a certain brand, style, or watch material. In the classic PSYOPS fashion, attempting to reach those you don't already have on board is the key for a couple of these releases we discuss here.

Make sure you're following us on IG: @horologyrepublic | @psywarwristcheck | @timetrades | @reidingtimewatches so you don't miss a thing.

Newsletter is out now, if you want to be on the list, drop a DM to Zac on @horologyrepublic on IG so you don't miss out on the happenings.

Cheers all!

Larry and Zac dive into the week's shenanigans with the discussion of the "Swatchtona" they posted jointly. What was funny? What were the negative comments? Would the Swatch Group and Rolex EVER made something like this which we all know would break the internet? We discuss this in detail and ponder what our alternate-universe selves think in the one other universe where this actually exists.

Either way, we're definitely jealous of the mirror universe Zac and Larry who have these on their wrists...somewhere, somehow.
