So Many New Watches - AP, Zenith, Tag Heuer, And More

January 31, 2022

Last week was a busy one when it came to watch announcements as LVMH Watch Week kicked off with brand-new releases from TAG Heuer, Zenith, Hublot, and Bulgari. Oh, and have you heard? It's the Royal Oak's 50th birthday and Audemars Piguet is very keen to celebrate that milestone with a brand new Royal Oak Jumbo reference and an entire anniversary-themed collection. Given such a wide range of new models, I grabbed Jack, Logan, and Danny to get into the details of our favorite releases of 2022 (so far!).? From 40mm easy-wearing dive watches from TAG Heuer to big-dollar Bulgari, new Defy models from Zenith, and a deeply futile consideration of which new 16202 Jumbo we'd like to call our own, it's a fun episode that looks at the start of a new watch season and some heavy-hitter new releases. Got a fav from last week? Be sure to let us know in the comments, below.? Disclosure notice: Several LVMH Group brands are discussed in this episode of HODINKEE Radio.
