  Women in watches: Georgia Benjamin and Courtney Bachrach 26.06.2026 1h 13min

  Tania Edwards has been in the watch business for over 35 years, and she's seen more change in the past five than at any other time. In this episode she sits down with two of the most influential voices for women in watches, Georgia Benjamin and Courtney Bachrach, to talk about how they got into collecting, why design and storytelling matter, and where women's vintage watch collecting is heading next.Courtney Bachrach (@tinywristcheck) is a New York-based collector, consultant, and content creator who was introduced to watches by her collector father. With a background in strategic business development across luxury brands and a master's degree in art business, she champions what she calls "literate luxury": understanding not just the watch itself, but the cultural context that produced it. Georgia Benjamin (@georgiabenj) is the most followed female content creator in the watch space, a design leader at Adobe, who brings humor, joy, and a design-led eye to collecting through her platform, her Substack The Edit, and the GB Supper Club.Along the way, Tania traces Patek Philippe's advertising through the decades, from the Art Deco cocktail watches and concealed dials of the 1940s, to the jeweled suites of the disco-era 1970s, to the campaigns that changed everything: "Begin your own tradition," the famous "You never actually own a Patek Philippe, you merely take care of it for the next generation," and finally the steel Twenty~4, the watch priced and designed to encourage women to buy for themselves, with its tagline "Who will you be in the next 24 hours."And there's a surprise: an extraordinary collection of 1970s Patek Philippe ladies' jeweled watches, kindly lent by Justin Gruenberg of The Keystone (@the_keystone), including a museum-quality concealed dial and a complete jeweled set of a kind rarely seen outside the Patek Philippe Museum.Whether you're new to collecting or deep in the hunt, this is a conversation about passion, scholarship, and the joy of discovery.Follow our guests: Courtney Bachrach https://www.instagram.com/tinywristcheck/Georgia Benjamin https://www.instagram.com/georgiabenj/🛍️ Shop for your favorite watches at the Collectability shop: https://collectability.com/shop/Learn with Collectability: https://collectability.com/learn-with-collectability/Learn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.comSee what our clients say on Trustpilot: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/collectability.comFor more information please email: team@collectability.comFollow us on Instagram for regular updates: https://www.instagram.com/collectabilityllc/Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability

  Watches in film and TV with Cameron Barr 24.06.2026 1h 2min

  John Reardon sits down with Cameron Barr, founder and CEO of Craft + Tailored, to discuss their favorite, and not-so-favorite, watch placements in film and TV since 1964, when James Bond first notably looked at his Rolex Submariner in Goldfinger.The conversation works through some of the most memorable watch moments on screen, from the Patek Philippe pocket watch in The Thomas Crown Affair, to Steve McQueen's Heuer Monaco in Le Mans, to the trench watch scene in Pulp Fiction. They also revisit the fake Patek Philippe that took center stage in Drive, and the fake Patek Philippe watches used in Succession and Friends and Neighbors that were so obviously props they pulled viewers right out of the story.John and Cameron also highlight the moments Patek got the screen treatment it deserved, from the ref. 5037J that James Gandolfini's presented in The Sopranos, to the ref. 5270 at Wempe New York in Billions. They share their experiences working with prop masters and explain why the small details matter so much for believability.Cameron then takes us behind the scenes of Good Fortune, last year's comedy with Keanu Reeves, Aziz Ansari, and Seth Rogen, where he was cast to play himself. He explains how the role came about, how the watches in the film were carefully chosen to suit each character, and the story behind "Pretty Baby", the yellow gold Daytona that became a character of its own.🛍️ Shop for your favorite watches at the Collectability shop: https://collectability.com/shop/For more information please email: team@collectability.comLearn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.comFollow us on Instagram for regular updates:   / collectabilityllc  Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability

He helped his pregnant wife into a lifeboat, remained behind, and did not survive.

  How Alan Banbery shaped the modern history of Patek Philippe 06.02.2026 48min

  Recorded in Geneva, this episode of the Collectability Podcast brings together John Reardon and Tania Edwards for a revealing discussion about Alan Banbery, one of the most influential figures in the modern history of Patek Philippe.Alan Banbery spent 36 years at Patek Philippe and shaped the brand in ways that people may not know. From after sales service and exhibition design to watch aesthetics, historical scholarship, and the foundation of the Patek Philippe Museum, his influence extended far beyond his official role as an executive in the company.This podcast draws on Tania Edwards’ three part editorial series, The Banbery Chronicles, which documents Alan’s life and legacy in unprecedented detail. Together, John and Tania explore findings from each chapter of the series and explain why Banbery’s story matters today.Topics include Alan’s early life in wartime London and his training as a watchmaker in Geneva, his unexpected transition into high level watch and jewelry sales, and the ideas he introduced that would quietly reshape Patek Philippe’s identity. These include the blue dial Ellipse, the naming of the Nautilus, the inclusion of museum pieces in exhibitions, and the true story behind his legendary, modified ref. 3448.The episode also covers the rarely told origins of the Patek Philippe Museum, beginning with Alan’s personal collecting efforts long before the project became an institutional priority. Along the way, listeners gain insight into pivotal auctions, unrealized acquisitions, and the personal discipline that defined Alan's career. If you are interested in Patek Philippe's modern history, this conversation is essential viewing.📖 Read The Banbery Chronicles articles: https://collectability.com/?s=THE+BAN...🛍️ Shop for your favorite watches at the Collectability Shop: https://collectability.com/shop/ For more information please email: team@collectability.comLearn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.com Follow us on Instagram for regular updates:   / collectabilityllc   Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability

  Edouard Henn discusses Patek Philippe Refs. 5004, 5070 and 5970 30.01.2026 53min

  Recorded in Geneva, this Collectability Podcast episode features Edouard Henn, a regular contributor who has written seven in depth articles on Patek Philippe references spanning a wide breadth of interest for collectors.In conversation with John Reardon, Ed explores three modern vintage watches that collectors continue to love: the Patek Philippe ref. 5004, ref. 5070, and ref. 5970. Each one represents a distinct moment in the manufacture’s modern history, and together they form a clear picture of how taste, design, and technical ambition evolved from the 1990s into the early 2000s.Ed shares the methodology behind his writing, combining long term auction data with close study of real world examples and period documentation. That research becomes the foundation for a deeper discussion of what matters to collectors today: how these references changed over time, where the most important nuances sit, and which details are most often misunderstood or overlooked.Articles written by Edouard Henn: ✍️ A COLLECTOR’S GUIDE: PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 5004 SPLIT SECONDS PERPETUAL CALENDAR https://collectability.com/learn/a-co... ✍️ A COMPLETE GUIDE TO PATEK PHILIPPE MINIATURE ENAMEL POCKET WATCHES (1950-2000) https://collectability.com/learn/a-co... ✍️ A COLLECTOR’S GUIDE TO THE PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 2597 HEURE SAUTANTE https://collectability.com/learn/a-co...✍️ A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO THE PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 5070 CHRONOGRAPH https://collectability.com/learn/a-co...✍️ A COLLECTOR’S GUIDE TO THE PATEK PHILIPPE CELESTIAL TIMEPIECES https://collectability.com/learn/a-co...✍️ IN-DEPTH: PATEK PHILIPPE RETAILER ANNIVERSARY PIECES https://collectability.com/learn/in-d...✍️ A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO THE PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 5970 https://collectability.com/learn/a-co...Follow Edouard Henn:   / edouard_henn  Shop for your favorite watches at the Collectability Shop: https://collectability.com/shop/ For more information please email: team@collectability.comLearn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.com Follow us on Instagram for regular updates:   / collectabilityllc   Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability

  Hank Edelman: Marketing Patek Philippe in America (Part 2) 03.07.2025 42min

  In Part 2 of Collectability’s podcast with Hank Edelman, former President of Patek Philippe USA, we continue an extraordinary journey through six decades of watchmaking history, advertising, and brand storytelling.If you missed Part 1, be sure to watch or listen first (see link below) — it’s a treasure trove of Patek Philippe history and fascinating personal stories that set the stage for this conversation.No one is better placed to share how marketing Patek Philippe in America has evolved since the 1960s than Hank Edelman. In the Mad Men era, Hank Edelman had a front-row seat with the creative geniuses of the time. He recalls how brilliant advertising lines were crafted by legendary ad man Seth Tobias, who worked closely with Patek Philippe USA President Einar Buhl.During the 1980s, Patek Philippe launched its first international campaign, starring the Calatrava ref. 3919. Hank Edelman explains how this model was created and why it became a symbol of elegance and timeless design.He also shares the origins of one of the most recognisable and longest-running watch campaigns ever:"You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely take care of it for the next generation." Discover how the Generations campaign came to life and how it became an essential part of the brand’s identity.Today, Patek Philippe exhibitions are famous around the world, but many collectors may not realise these events started in the United States in the late 1960s. Hank Edelman recounts how these exhibitions introduced American audiences to exceptional timepieces and demonstrated what set Patek Philippe apart from every other watch brand. Even Warren Buffett became part of this rich history. In 1995, he held a white gold Calibre ’89, captured in a photograph with the caption: "The six billion dollar man holds the six million dollar watch," which was featured in newspapers across the country.In this episode, Hank Edelman and John Reardon look back at some of the most memorable ads and moments from Hank Edelman’s remarkable 60-plus-year career with Patek Philippe.Sit back and enjoy this rare glimpse behind the scenes of how Patek Philippe became one of the most respected names in fine watchmaking.Listen to Part 1:https://open.spotify.com/episode/4M3EWmgOAQY55PxFs3DTgq?si=yDCducfoSrqlbmkIPt-VzwShop for your favorite watches at the Collectability Shop: https://collectability.com/shop/Learn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.com Follow us on Instagram for regular updates: https://www.instagram.com/collectabilityllc/Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability

  Hank Edelman discusses his 60+ years career at Patek Philippe 13.05.2025 1h 14min

  Collectability is deeply honored to welcome one of the living legends of Patek Philippe, Hank Edelman. This is a two-part conversation with John Reardon. In Part 1, John and Hank discuss the commercial history of Patek Philippe in America covering many aspects of the business since the early 1960s through to today. If you think you understand Patek Philippe, you are about to learn more than you ever imagined listening to this podcast.Hank Edelman is uniquely placed to speak about Patek Philippe in America having worked for the US distributer the Henri Stern Watch Agency, HSWA since he was a teenage messenger picking up repairs all over New York City. When he officially started his career in January 1961, little did he know that he would one day become president of Patek Philippe USA and lead it through exponential growth. His 60+ years career has witnessed many changes in the company, and he has worked with some of the most influential people in the watch industry including three generations of the Stern family: Henri Stern, Philippe Stern and current President, Thierry Stern.Hank Edelman is the son of a Swiss watchmaker and was born in Geneva in 1941. In the late 1940s, his family emigrated from Switzerland and his father worked at HSWA as one of the highly skilled watchmakers in the service and repair workshop. As a young boy, he would eagerly visit his father’s office to watch various parades pass by on Fifth Avenue. It was from this early age that he got to know the then president of Patek Philippe, Henri Stern who watched him grow into an intelligent and capable young man. After completing his college degree, Henri Stern was happy to offer him a job. But, like everyone else who joined the company, he had to start at the bottom and learn every aspect of the business of making and selling Patek Philippe watches.Today Hank is Chairman of HSWA and lives in New Jersey with his wife of 58 years and is a devoted father of three and grandfather of four. His years of coaching and refereeing soccer have changed places with the less rigorous sport of golf, but he remains a dedicated soccer fan and passionate supporter of the US national team.Sit back and enjoy what promises to be an extremely informative journey through a fascinating time in Patek Philippe’s history.Shop for your favorite watches at the Collectability Shop: https://collectability.com/shop/Learn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.com Follow us on Instagram for regular updates: https://www.instagram.com/collectabilityllc/Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability

  Keith Scobie Youngs: the man who fixed Big Ben 20.02.2025 1h

  Big Ben is arguably one of the most iconic clocks in the world. Known for its distinctive chime, the great bell after which the clock is named, first rang out across London in 1859. Other than a brief time when the clock stopped in 1976, not even two World Wars have silenced the chime that tells the U.K. the correct time. However, in 2017 the legendary sound of Big Ben was silenced and a massive renovation of Westminster Tower took place. For five years, every part of the huge clock (excluding the massive bell) was disassembled and taken to workshops in the North West of England where it was restored by Keith Scobie Youngs and his team of clock experts at the Cumbria Clock Company. In this fascinating podcast, Collectability’s Tania Edwards learns what it was like to restore such an important clock and what makes other turret clocks, mostly found in church and public buildings, so unique and interesting in the world of horology. Shop for your favorite watches at the Collectability Shop: https://collectability.com/shop/Learn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.com Follow us on Instagram for regular updates: https://www.instagram.com/collectabilityllc/Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability
