Yes he’s back, back again!
The resident gentleman of The CP7 Podcast, Mr Martin Green. Interrupting his busy schedule in the Netherlands, Martin finally prioritised between being Editor At Large for Watch Time USA magazine, and the GPHG Academy’s voting panel to take his place as the unofficial third member of Chrono Passion 7!

This episode was supposed to be the CP7 Geneva Watch Days Review Part 2 but the opportunity of having Martin on was too good to pass up. So as Martin missed Geneva Watch Days 2024 he asks the boys a few questions to calm his FOMO before the real watch talk begins.

Do we really need a quest for the world’s thinnest watch? Why are some three dial chronographs called Bicompax and not Tricompax? Which independent brands are the ones to look out for? But most importantly, which watches have been caught on the radar of our trio?

So buckle up, sit back, and enjoy the ride for a lot of watch talk, fun and special insights from your favourite watch-related podcast!

They're back from where it all began for the podcast! The CP7 boys have been to the amazing Geneva Watch Days 2024 and returned to tell the tale, in part 1 of 2, of this special CP7 Podcast.

From a slightly worrying start to a marathon of brand appointments, networking, journalistic highlights, and hospitality... lots of hospitality!

Being the premier event for independent watch brands in the industry, discover how Geneva Watch Days 2024 showcased so many superb and creative brands, from an affordable price point to the extremely high-end luxury we can only dream about.

This was no Rolex, Omega, Swatch, or Cartier love-in, instead in this show the boys talk about luxurious Jacob & Co., uber cool De Bethune, the people's champion Oris, a rejuvenated Favre Leuba, high octane Depancel, and the mighty Armin Strom.

As an added treat hear about how they witnessed the relaunch of sophisticated Daniel Roth, courtesy of LVMH's Fabrique Du Temps spearheaded by watchmaker icons Enrico Barbasini and Michel Navas. It really was a "pinch yourself to believe it" moment, and listen in on how humbled and honored our guys were to be there.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we get into Part 1 of this Geneva Watch Days rollercoaster.

A very special topic on this show, the CP7 boys return to the scene of the crime, the birthplace of this Podcast, Geneva Watch Days. You've heard the rumours, but now hear the genuine origin story of the CP7 Podcast, and how big guests and big brands were there from its inception.

To kick off the boys talk about their recent summer breaks and watch meet ups. Andy held a RedBar Barcelona event and Parm paid his first visit to a Time 4A Pint watch meet in London. Discover what happened during both meets in both cities and the great watch people they met.

Then on to the main topic, Geneva Watch Days 2024, the world’s largest show for independent watch brands. There are so many independent brands at the show both high end and well-priced, and the boys spill the beans on who they are most looking forward to meeting. So out goes Rolex, Omega, Cartier and Patek Philippe and in comes De Bethune, MB&F, Nivada Grenchen, Moser, Krayon, and many, many more.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk Geneva Watch Days, imposter syndrome, beer and watches, and a plethora of independent brands.

In this very special episode, the CP7 Boys are joined by Rikki Daman from the stellar Scottish Watches Podcast.
It was a great day to record the show, as not only did Scottish Watches just release their latest collaboration with cool Swiss brand Formex, the Essence Skye that very day, but the banter is off the chart from the get go!

Scottish Watches is the most popular watch podcast right now (apart from CP7 of course!) and was started by Rikki in 2019 whilst a complete newbie in the watch world. Hear about how, in that short time, Scottish Watches have collaborated with multiple brands including Swatch and H. Moser & Cie and become the juggernaut they are now, and what exactly is the real story behind the H.Moser x Scottish Watches collaboration Streamliner (or Memeliner as Rikki calls it). Was it really an April Fool's joke? Find out here.

It ended in 2019, but the boys find out about the the old Basel World and the difference between that, and today's premier watch show event, Watches & Wonders. Have they both been surpassed by Dubai Watch Week?

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as the boys and Rikki shoot the breeze, banter each other, and talk watches in this special show.

Want to learn about one of the most creative British watch brands in the watch world? Listen in as the boys talk to José Miranda of Isotope Watches and uncover the creative genius he and his brand humbly emanate.

Hear about how Gerald Genta inspired Isotope's first ever watch, the Jumping Hour Rider, and the pitfalls and challenges José faced in producing it. Starting his watch business in 2016 it hasn't taken long to get recognised by the big players in the industry, as Isotope made their initial collaboration watch with none other than Wei Koh's Revolution Magazine with their mirror-dialled Mercury. At first glance, this and the new MoonShot Chronograph, the Flyway, The Goutee D'Eau, and the yet-to-be in main production Jumping Hour OVNI may all seem like completely different styles of watches, but you'll be fascinated to hear how the rich Isotope design language and DNA runs through the veins of all of them, with more Easter Eggs, and spiritual and mystical links than The Da Vinci Code.

Inspired by The Egg of Columbus, discover how José won't stop until he makes the impossible possible, fueled by his desire and passion to be unique, and try what nobody else has. So if you thought Isotope was simply a "quirky" British brand (via Portugal), think again and fall in love with the underrated but most certainly highly respected, creative mind of the main man at Isotope Watches.

Get ready for an incredible experience, which may have also inadvertently unearthed a watch perfect for the next installment in James Cameron's Terminator movie series!

So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we delve deep into the mindset of a real gentleman and visionary in the watch world.

Join us in another Unplugged show! No editing, no deletes, just pure unadulterated watch talk. Oh, and for the first time, the CP7 boys are enjoying a beer (or two!) live on air.

With all the uncertainty in the watch world right now, the hype looks to have well and truly died down; is it finally safe for us enthusiasts to have some fun, and not have to worry about the investment-inspired "hype-class" polluting the hobby?
That question has inspired this show... don't judge a watch by its cover, can we have fun and wear the watches we want… irrespective of what anyone else says?

So temporarily tear up your Rolex or Patek Philippe waiting lists, and let’s get into some other brands, for our fix of horological fun. MB&F, Bell & Ross, Maurice Lacroix, Franck Muller, and even Ulysse Nardin all get put to the test CP7 style!

So buckle up and enjoy the ride, as the boys get into another fun filled, and thought provoking CP7 Unplugged show.

A very special thanks to Alon Ben Joseph from Amsterdam's legendary Ace Jewelers for loaning us the review watches.

Summer is here and it's holiday season! But which watch do you take with you on your vacation? Is one enough?
Inspired by Parm’s recent trip to Singapore and Malaysia, where he had three different holiday experiences on one trip, the boys decide which watches would fit in for each stage.
Listen in as they discuss which watches to take on a holiday for (1) travelling and sights, (2) a city break, and (3) the ultimate summer holiday, the beach vacation.
To make this a challenge worthy of the CP7 boys, the usual suspects like Patek Philippe, Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Cartier, or IWC would NOT be counted. This challenge allows them to highlight brands or models that aren’t as high profile but carry some serious watch credentials, particularly for a summer holiday. So forget your Submariner, Speedmaster, Black Bay, or Santos, and let’s take a refreshing look at something different for the most fun time of the year.
We also find out what the boys have been up to, which includes an exciting merchandise collaboration with Totte from REM Straps, and a catch-up with listeners of the show, and top guys, The Watch Brothers Neil and Mark.
So Buckle up and enjoy the ride in this special summer show which should heat up your summer holiday watch choices for the season ahead!!!
