Not So Obvious Watch News Week 1 2020

#NSOW #WATCHINDUSTRY #WATCHNEWS

My take on watch news for week 1 of 2020. My brief notes on the episode below.
------------------------------
ONE OF THE QUIRKS OF TRACKING “WEEKS” IS THAT THEY DON'T LINE UP WITH YEARS PARTICULARLY WELL. WEEK 1 OF 2020 ACTUALLY BEGAN ON DEC 30 2019 - AH WELL.

I DIDN'T REALLY PLAN ON DOING A NEWS ROUND-UP OVER THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD AS ITS PRETTY MUCH WALL TO WALL RETROSPECTIVES AND TOP 10’S OF 2019 ETC

BUT A QUICK SCAN DID REVEAL A COUPLE OF PIECES ID RECOMMEND FOR YOU

A - BECAUSE THEY OFTEN RESTATE THINGS IVE BEEN SAYING THIS YEAR AND I ENJOY A LITTLE ‘I TOLD YOU SO’ AS MUCH AS THE NEXT GUY BUT

B. MORE IMPORTANTLY THEY ARE GOOD
