As the festive season approaches, it feels only fitting to explore the holy trinity of watchmaking.

The big three, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin: the watchmakers hailed as the crème de la crème, the pinnacle, and whose watches come with the added prestige of being “trinity” watches for their owners. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself WHY?

Join the CP7 Boys as Parm and Andy take a deep dive into all three brands and unpick revelation after revelation about each of them until you’re asking yourself is this even a debate?!

Using five unique criteria we scrutinise legends, myths, misconceptions with lost horological highlights and achievements which will be your guiding light to the answer to the most posing conundrum, is the trinity:

Eternal, Ready For A Reshuffle or Obsolete?

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as this debate get spicy, heated and downright dogged in this very special episode.

What determines the meaning of a grail watch? Is it a horological equivalent of the legendary Holy Grail, a symbolic object of spiritual and mystical perfection sought after by such luminaries as King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, the wacky team at Monty Python, and all the way to fearless adventurer Indiana Jones? Or is it simply a glorified wishlist item, shaped by hype, heritage, and the ever-shifting tides of taste? In this episode, Parm and Andy explore the grail’s many forms and guises: from auction desirables and independent watch heroes, to deeply personal and emotionally charged obsessions that defy mainstream logic.

Taking the views of friends and listeners to heat up the conversation, the boys then move to their own personal opinions, where this wicked debate becomes a reflective analysis of what they believe a grail watch means to them today. Has this changed compared to when their love for the hobby began? Is it really one masterpiece that completes a collection, or is it an elusive moving target, always just out of reach? Or can it be easier to achieve than you'd first think? Our horologically charged duo unpack the psychology behind the chase, the role of storytelling, and the way one's desire evolves with experience, exposure and identity.

So listen in to find out all of the above, and if the grail watch is a myth, a feeling, or a rite of passage? Does the grail reveal more about the seeker than the object itself, giving away more than meets the eye? Answers to these questions and more will be revealed, as this episode invites you to rethink the quest, not as a destination, but as a journey that redefines popular opinion.
