Katie Harrell 1 minute read

Rounding up 2022 we introduce Bill Prince, Watch Journalist and Editor-in-Chief of Wallpaper Magazine and Faye Soteri, our International Senior Watch Buyer.

In our first year post-pandemic, Bill and Faye dissect the horological landscape of 2022, discussing significant implications including supply and demand, social media, the cost-of-living crisis, and the impact of these on the industry.

New launches and iconic collections are discussed, including significant anniversaries for the Breitling Navitimer and Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak. The pair also explore the Watches of Switzerland Group exclusives, including releases from Zenith, Oris, Longines and TAG Heuer, with insights into the process, unique colourways and complications, and how each design is brought to life.

Events across the horological landscape are explored, including Watches and Wonders 2022 and the GPGH awards. Bill and Faye reveal their stand-out brands, favourite categories and discuss the process of the awards, including our very own CEO Brian Duffy proudly part of this year’s jury.

Listen to Bill and Faye’s 2022 round-up below:

One word to sum up the year, Intense. I think it's been a year of consolidation, almost reformation. Everyone's been getting their shape and size back. We've seen some extraordinary moments.Bill Prince
