Ep. 44 - Evolution, Not Revolution
Shownotes
Episode 44 of the SJX Podcast covers new releases from Grand Seiko, Greubel Forsey, Vacheron Constantin, and Breguet. The common thread that ties these releases together is that each is an incremental update to a previous model. Grand Seiko's updates to the Evolution 9 collection are perhaps most notable simply due to the brand's larger scale, and for what this refresh indicates about how the brand is listening to collector feedback.
We also shares our condolences with the Stern family over the passing of Philippe Stern, and discuss his towering legacy.
