About What's on Your Riste? A Watch Podcast

Welcome to “What's on Your Riste? A Watch Podcast.” The podcast for people who love wristwatches way more than is probably reasonable and have absolutely zero plans to stop. I'd suggest starting at the beginning, this isn't a "current events" type show; start at Season 1, Episode 1 and you'll be along for the journey! …or anyone you’re interested in since S01 Episodes 1-3 have some audio issues we had to work out* Think of this more like a TV show for enthusiasts...minus the TV...so radio... We cover everything from Rolex, Omega and Cartier to indies like Czapek, Dornbluth, Gronefeld, Rexhep, Hanhart, Laine, Seiko and more. Welcome, we're stoked you're here! *Riste Simnjanovski (Watchovski)* Media Contact: RistePodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @RistePodcast

   S02E13: "Made" in Italy: Panerai, Bvlgari, Venezianico, Unimatic, and Giuliano Mazzuoli

   S02E13: "Made" in Italy: Panerai, Bvlgari, Venezianico, Unimatic, and Giuliano Mazzuoli (...with a special hello to my family in Italy...thank's for the suggestion to have fun with this one.) DESCRIPTION Is Italy even a real watchmaking country? Buckle up. This is the fun one. We start with Sylvester Stallone falling in love with a giant Italian navy watch on a movie set in 1996 and accidentally launching a global cult, and we use it to make a cheeky but serious argument: Italy’s gift to watches is taste, not gears. We cover Panerai, the Florentine legend that is made in Switzerland, including a straight- talking take on its recent comeback and why you should probably buy one used. Bulgari, the Roman jeweler that humiliated the Swiss by going thin, with about ten world records in eleven years. And the young Italian independents writing the next chapter: Venezianico, Unimatic, and Giuliano Mazzuoli. No prior watch knowledge required. Bring the friend with the dinner-plate watch.

   S02E12: Watch Stories Franck Muller - The Master and the Margins

   Season 2, Episode 12: Franck Muller THE MASTER AND THE MARGINS: FRANCK MULLER, THE SHAPE OF AMBITION, AND THE WATCH THEROOM LOVES TO HATE DESCRIPTION A prodigy. A partnership. A courtroom feud with a counterfeiting uncle and fifteen hundred mystery Russian movements. A two-point-seven-million-dollar watch with thirty-six complications. And a sporty tonneau that quietly became the brand’s comeback. This is the full Franck Muller story, the admiration and the disdain held in one hand, with a long, fun look at the engineering of the Vanguard. I am Watchovski.

   S02E28: BONUS: 59, 60, Click: The GPHG-Winning Zenith Everybody Forgot (The Pilot Big Date Special 42)

   Link to a visual of the watch: Hodinkee Article (https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/hands-on-with-the-zenith-pilot-big-date-special-live-photos) SJX Quick History (https://watchesbysjx.com/2015/04/05) Walton Custom Watches Link (https://www.waltoncustomwatches.com/) Title: 59, 60, Click: The GPHG-Winning Zenith Everybody Forgot (The Pilot Big Date Special 42) Description: A tiny click on a chronograph sends Watchovski from his desk to Geneva. The Zenith Pilot Big Date Special won the 2012 GPHG Petite Aiguille, runs a five-hertz El Primero 4010, hides a patented big date that reads backwards, and shares its two-eyed layout with Zenith’s Cold War pilot chronographs on both sides of the Adriatic. So why does nobody talk about it? Jumping minute counters, useless telemeters, a Habring cameo, and the best-kept secret on the secondary market.
