Ep. 44 - April Fools Day Watches and Patek Philippe Changes Their Archive Extract Policy

There were a ton of companies, including watch companies, that had some fun this year for April Fools Day. With everything that has happened this last year, I think we all needed to have a chuckle. Hodinkee released a very funny ‘Hodinkee branded’ watch that definitely caught some people out. Obviously a joke, it was nice to see Hodinkee laugh at themselves every once and a while.

One company decided to actually release a watch on April Fools Day that many people thought was a joke. You guessed it, H Moser decided to come out with a watch that had a pixelated eraser on the dial. Manufactured in just 20 pieces, it certainly reminds us that watchmaking doesn’t have to be so serious, but we can also have fun with it!

The last thing we cover is Patek Philippe changed the way they will issue Extracts from their Archive. There were some big changes that definitely will have an impact on vintage watch (and modern watch) collection.
