TraxNYC vs. Akay, The TRUTH Behind The FIGHT: Interview w/ Sean Lorentzen - EW Podcast: Episode 23

In this episode of the EW Podcast, we sit down with Sean Lorentzen, Senior Editor at "A Blog to Watch" and author of the new book "Time Machines: How Watches Shape the Modern World." We talk about his journey in watch media, what goes into running one of the most respected independent watch publications, and why his new book focuses on the watches that influenced culture and history, not just reference numbers. Then we jump straight into the biggest story shaking the watch world right now… 47th Street went nuclear this past week. We break down the entire viral TraxNYC vs. Akay Diamonds saga, from the alleged fake bracelet to the cash refund and the clip that’s already pulled hundreds of millions of views. From marketing genius to real-world chaos, we unpack what actually happened, why it exploded, and what it means for the industry. Drama, watches, media, and behind-the-scenes insight, this one covers it all. You won’t want to miss it.
