What is a geezer watch?

The watch a garish, flashy and smooth-talking cockney “Jack The Lad” from Old London Town would wear? Or the watch for a well-heeled silver fox man of a certain age with style, wisdom and a hankering for watches from the precious-metal and slightly outlandish design obsessed decades, the 1970s and 1980s?

Join us as we talk about our favourite “Geezer” watches from Rolex, Omega, Piaget, Patek Philippe and many more. Find out if our choices are more suited to disco dancing, Saturday Night Fever’s Tony Manero? Or the classy and cool former chairman of Fiat, Gianni Agnelli.

So buckle up and enjoy this two tone and solid gold ride as we talk about our favourite Geezer Watches… CP7 Style!

Welcome back to your favourite watch-related podcast!

To mark 260 years of one of the most important brands in British watchmaking and horological history, Arnold & Son, we speak to their engaging CEO and consummate gentleman, Pascal Béchu.

Sit back and learn about some of the most mind-blowing historical stories about the brand, created by John Arnold and his son John Roger Arnold in 1764. Discover how he went from a humble watchmaker to making watches for a British king, a world famous nautical explorer, and the home of timekeeping, London's Greenwich Observatory. It doesn't end there the discussion continues with John Arnold's watchmaking relationship, legacy and collaborations with one Abraham Louis Breguet, and were they really BOTH behind the creation of the tourbillon?

It's not just a history lesson, we talk about modern-day Arnold & Son and how the brand, under Pascal, is striving to keep every element of the brand's history and heritage alive and up to date in this modern watchmaking era.

It is indeed an honour and a pleasure to mark the launch of Arnold & Son's brand new Constant Force Tourbillon today too, with them choosing Chrono Passion 7 to be the first podcast to talk about it and discuss it before Watches & Wonders 2025 where it will be launched as their novelty for the big show.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk history, modernity, and a possible inspiration for MBNF and their Legacy Machine.

Find out this and much more, including her favourite IWC and the real reason you should be looking the brand, not forgetting the innovations of watchmaking royalty and nonagenarian Kurt Klaus. Omega has the Moonwatch and space, Rolex has the rich history and marketing led aspirational appeal, what is it that IWC needs to do to put in in the eyes and minds more of watch enthusiasts and buyers alike?

On a lighter note, beyond her public persona, Emily reveals her extreme watch nerdery, complete with meticulous spreadsheets that even left horology icon Roger Smith speechless!
