Episode 145: Watches and Wonders, Tariffs

In this week’s episode, JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates Victoria discuss highlights from Watches and Wonders, including a Bremont relaunch, new Bulgari pieces, and Rolex’s first new collection in 13 years. “Rolex has really thrown down the gauntlet,” with its new Dynapulse escapement, Victoria reports. Next, the pair analyze the effect the U.S. administration’s initial tariff announcements had on the jewelry industry (confusion and worry) and offer some perspective on what may lie ahead in a time of rapid change and continuing uncertainty.
