Welcome back to another episode of Houdinke Radio.

Today's episode of the show is sponsored by our friends at Brookladi, the award-winning

whiskey from Ila, who we have partnered with here at Houdinke for the last couple of years.

Stay tuned for an update later in the show on what we're up to this season.

Hey, it's me, James Stacey, and I'm back for another episode of Houdinke Radio.

If you saw our previous episode, which was sort of a look back at 2024 with a Tantan and Malika,

we're repeating the format today, but I've got two new guests to chit chat as sort of a retrospective of 2024,

our favorite watches, the kind of big moments, things we remember, maybe some stuff we forgot, all that kind of stuff. So welcome to the show.

Editor and photographer Mark Kozlerich and editor Rich Forden. How are you guys doing?

Doing great. Yeah. Thanks, James.

I think it makes sense to start kind of as broadly as possible here. In your mind, did 2024 have like, this is the year of something? Or was it

kind of too varied? I found it to be kind of a surprising but varied year because, you know,

we talked about this a bit on the previous. Like, you know, we did start at what felt like kind

of a lower note with a sort of subdued watches and wonders.

But I actually think if you look back, this wasn't that quiet of a year in total.

What are you guys feeling about it?

I think one of the questions on the list is about trends, which sort of overlaps with this one.

But I found 2024 to be the year of like the non-standard, non-round,

quote-unquote shaped watch. And that is both in the pre-owned market, honestly, as well as the

modern market reflecting some of the trends we've been seen in that other pre-o market lately.

Okay.

Which is interesting.
