OT: The Podcast

This week, Andy sits down with Karl-Fritz Scheufele, Chief of Staff – Craft, Digital & Experience at Chopard and a third-generation member of the family that manages this historic brand. 🇨🇭✨
Karl-Fritz takes us on a deep dive into Chopard's watchmaking legacy, exploring 30 years of L.U.C Chopard, often called the "brand within a brand" for its exceptional high horology. He also shares the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of his pivotal role in bringing the widely acclaimed Alpine Eagle collection to life, and opens up about what it's truly like to work for one of Switzerland's last remaining independent, family-owned luxury watchmakers. 🦅⏱️
Before diving into the main interview, Felix and Andy look back at their own experiences wearing two stunning Chopard pieces on the wrist during Watches & Wonders.

This week, we are continuing our deep dive into the fascinating connection between watches and space exploration! 🛰️
We are incredibly honoured to welcome VAST Lead Astronaut Drew Feustel to the show. As a NASA veteran with 225 days in space, Drew has now transitioned to the private sector to help design and build the future of commercial space habitation with VAST.
Felix chats with Drew about the unique challenges of living in zero gravity, why small design choices make a massive impact in orbit, and how the innovative IWC Venturer Vertical Drive overcomes those exact challenges. They also zoom out to discuss the big picture: why humanity's future in space matters, and what it's really like to be an astronaut rock star. ⭐🧑‍🚀
Before the main interview, Andy and Felix break down everyone's favourite plastic pocket watch collaboration, the Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop, and Andy shares his experience getting on the water with TAG Heuer. 🏄‍♂️

Can design save your life in space? 🚀 
This week, Felix sits down with Hillary Coe, Chief Design and Marketing Officer at VAST (and former SpaceX design lead), to discuss the intersection of storytelling and survival.
From the IWC Space Watch to the future of human-centric design in orbit, Hillary explains why imagination is a mission-critical tool.
But first, Andy and Felix dive into the week's biggest watch news, including a hidden gem in the IWC Pilot's collection, a "plus-sized" surprise from Tudor, and the latest provocative release from Ming.

One of the OT: fixtures of Watches & Wonders is Andy's annual chat with Chris Grainger, who some claim is the most charming watch brand CEO. The 2026 instalment didn't disappoint — we found 15 minutes to chat in the middle of the incredibly busy booth, and learn about how IWC isn't just looking to the past as it celebrates 90 years of Pilot's Watches, but also the future with innovations like Ceralume and the impressive Venturer Vertical Drive, the brand's first watch made for space. Before that, Felix and Andy gossip about the rumoured Swatch x AP collab, the latest Chris Ward and Hodinkee down under.

Now that Andy and Felix are back from their continental jaunt, it's time to return to England with this week's guest, the charming and learned Tom Chamberlin. Chamberlin has made a name for himself as the editor-in-chief of the influential style bible, The Rake, and, more recently, as the host of The Luxury Dispatch, a podcast dedicated to the refined and rare. We certainly touched on what constitutes luxury in fine watches, finding out what the wrist equivalent of a blue blazer is, why Uniqlo is perfectly valid, the importance of everlasting style and why we need to be wearing more pleats.
Before that, Felix and Andy rated tote bags.
