Olympic Watches, Past and Present

Mark and Annette talk about their love for the Olympics, the role of timekeeping in the Olympics, and how Longines, Seiko, Heuer, Swatch, and of course Omega sponsorship and role in timekeeping has changed throughout the history of the Olympics. We also explore the evolution of Olympic commemorative watches, looking at the good, the bad, and the WTF. We delve into the evolution of Omega's Olympic watches and the role other brands have played along the way. Of course this conversation would not be complete without talking about the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympic timepieces, including the Oak and Oscar Team Casper curling watch that came from a personal connection between the watchmaker and the athletes.
