Scottish Watches Podcast #806 : An Episode To Eclipse All Others

Sorry, but after two great interview shows, today it’s just us. While opinions are mixed on the TAG Heuer Formula 1 collection, the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph Zandvoort Limited Edition, in its bold orange, red, and grey colour scheme, for the final Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, gets our approval. Click here to read along and see the photos in our show notes as you listen – http://www.scottishwatches.co.uk/2026/08/18/scottish-watches-podcast-806-an-episode-to-eclipse-all-others/ We also discuss the latest Omega x Swatch Mission to the Sun Solar Eclipse Edition and the recent eclipse itself, including the spectacular imagery from it, where Red Bull gets shown up by a skateboarder, before moving on to U-Boat’s enormous oil-filled U-65 Tech with its decorative circuit-board dial and quartz movement. There’s a look at the changing of the guard at Maurice Lacroix, with Stefan Vassar stepping down after 12 years as managing director and Joel Chabane taking over, as well as why the brand remains particularly important to Scottish Watches. We then get properly technical with Urwerk’s UR-100V Lightspeed Ceramic, exploring its wandering-hours display, ceramic composite case and clever representation of the time sunlight takes to reach the planets in our Solar System.
