Fratello Talks: Our New Year’s Watch Resolutions 2025

Hello, and happy New Year! What better way to venture into another trip around the Sun than by setting yourself up with a solid set of New Year’s watch resolutions? In today’s episode, Nacho, Daan, and Lex discuss theirs for 2025. They include everything from pondering potential future purchases to considering consolidating comprehensive collections. The guys also reflect on some of last year’s resolutions and report on how they managed to (or didn’t) stick to them. Finally, they also share a handful of non-watch-related resolutions they have set for 2025. We encourage you to share your New Year’s resolutions (horological and otherwise) in the comments section below. But now, let’s jump into a wrist check.

Wrist check

Today, Lex is wearing a crown on his wrist — and that crown just happens to have a watch attached to it. All jokes aside, the lume-dial Chronoswiss Timemaster is a fantastic watch and one you certainly don’t see every day. If you want to read all about this model and learn more about Lex’s story with it, you can do so here.

Daan is sticking to his Cartier Santos Galbée XL, and can you blame him? It’s not just a fantastic piece from a time when the Santos was at a sweet spot for design; it has also become a bit of a signature watch for him. Here at Fratello HQ, it’s simply referred to as the “Daantos.”

And last but far from least, Nacho is wearing his latest watch, the VPC Type 37HW. Many of you who followed along with Thomas’s Building A Watch Brand series will already know everything about this watch. But for those who don’t, you can take a look at Nacho’s introduction article here. After being thoroughly charmed by the watch, he decided to buy one, and as you can see, he opted for the Dove Grey dial variant.

The start of a new year is a great moment to give yourself an opportunity for self-improvement. This can also apply to us watch enthusiasts and collectors. Whether you decide to have a dry January (and not purchase any new watches), to lose a few pounds (and sell off some of the less-worn pieces in your collection), or to build a bit of muscle (aiming to make one or two serious purchases to round off the collection), there are no wrong choices. Tune in to today’s episode if you want to hear more about Nacho, Daan, and Lex’s resolutions. And don’t forget to share your resolutions in the comments down below.
