The Best Watch, Best Brand, and Biggest themes of 2025 Watches
Two Hodinkee alumni walk into a podcast, it might be a start of a bad joke but also with Tony Traina of Unpolished joining us to look back at the year in watches it is what we have here today. Mark and Tony talk about the biggest watch releases of the year, what brand had the best year, and what we hope to see in 2026. Brands with big anniversary years like Vacheron Constantin and Breguet are on everyone's lips but what about Christopher Ward, Ming, Omega, Rolex, and others who also brought out some outstanding options. Let us know in the comments what was your favorite watch of the year and what you think we got wrong or right. Find more of Tony at his website - www.unpolishedwatches.com
