Ep. #288 Do Chronometers Even Matter?
In this episode of Two Broke Watch Snobs, Mike and Kaz dive into the whole “chronometer” thing—what the label actually means, how different certifications stack up, and why accuracy still matters even if most of us are just timing pasta water. Along the way, they swap stories about their own watches, crack a few jokes at each other’s expense, and try to cut through the noise so collectors and enthusiasts know what’s worth caring about (and what’s just marketing fluff).
