We’re finally back with another episode of Fratello On Air after a lengthy break from the holidays, illness, and travel! This week, we’re reflecting on 2024 and some key events that shaped the year. Enjoy the episode, and we look forward to 2025! For our listeners, the watch content begins after 27 minutes.

Whew, it’s been a few weeks since we last recorded. The holiday period was fantastic, but we had a bout of the flu. Finally, illnesses have subsided, and we’re reflecting on 2024. In many ways, this was a tough year for the industry, but it was a great year for the community.

Handgelenkskontrolle

Before reflecting on 2024, we discuss a variety of topics. Our Handgelenkskontrolle signals a rare instance when we’ve come together and are wearing the same brand. Balazs is wearing his beloved new Angelus Chrono Dato Luxe. Mike received a package from Balazs on Christmas Eve. An Angelus 250 chronograph arrived from Germany, and it’s a beauty. This sparks discussion on the next Angelus that needs to join Mike’s collection, the 215.

Reflecting on 2024

Last year was a great one for both of us. The podcast grew, and we ran into a lot of listeners in cities across the globe. Thank you for listening! Today, we discuss the following topics:

  • Geneva Watch Days
  • The end of Rolex “for exhibition only” signs
  • Balazs’s purchases during the year, including his Rolex Submariner 5513
  • Mike’s purchases of smaller watches, including tanks and researching them
  • The Omega Speedmaster saw a huge number of releases throughout 2024
