Horological Happy Hour EP 28 - YouTube - European Watch Company
Horological Happy Hour Episode 28 showcases Justin and Rob exploring the European Watch Company’s collection, highlighting five exclusive pieces that each have a production run of fewer than 100 units. The featured watches include the Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision, a limited‑edition 55‑piece rose‑gold model; the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante in honey‑gold, capped at 100 pieces; Audemars Piguet’s Code 11.59 Tourbillon Chronograph Openworked, a 50‑piece two‑tone piece priced at $149,900; Urwerk’s UR‑150 Blue Scorpion, another 50‑piece limited model; and the Ferdinand Berthoud Chronomètre FB 3SPC, a revival of an 18th‑century marine chronometer. The episode also delves into a contentious watch‑brand tier list, explaining why Grand Seiko occupies its current position, the reasons behind Panerai’s S‑tier ranking, and the criteria that truly matter when evaluating watch brands. This discussion offers insight into both the rarity of the showcased timepieces and the broader perspectives shaping watch enthusiasts’ judgments.
