So there we have it! Two very different five watch collections. One at the slightly lower end of the price schedule, and one closer to the £10,000 limit! As Cal and I discuss in the episode, I think we have both built collections that we could happily have as our only 5 watches for the rest of our lives! We also agreed that we had picked 10 brands that are well known and make fantastic watches that will last a lifetime. 

​

We would love to hear what you all think! We would love to know if there are one or two watches in either of our lists where there is a better watch we could have picked! We would also love to hear what 5 watch collections you would build with £10,000! And what you would do with the leftover cash! And just for a bit of fun, who is your winner?? 

​

As always thank you so much for listening, and stay tuned for more podcasts coming soon!
