   What Makes a Perfect Watch? Plus AI Slop and Piece Unique Watches

   Tim and Armand have a bit of a grab bag episode with this one where they discuss their perfect watches, customization and independent brands, comparing cars to watches, and the proliferation of AI slop. They start with a discussion of the difficulty and weight of custom orders on independent watchmakers and how they deal with it before turning to their opinion on the use of AI in the collecting hobby. Finally, they end the discussion with using watches from brands like Panerai, F.P. Journe, Hublot, IWC, and more as inspiration for their personal ideal watch.
