Mike and I are taking some time off from the podcast this week, but we\\u2019d still like to leave you with an episode. So this week, I\\u2019ll publish my talk with Bosko, the man behind the \\u201cZenith Yugoslavian Military Chronograph Collector\\u2019s Guide.\\u201d This guide won\\u2019t be out for another few days, but rest assured, it\\u2019s coming this week. Don\\u2019t worry; vintage chronographs are not the only topic the guys will discuss. While this is indeed a vintage-heavy episode, plenty of other timepieces get a mention.
Aside from the usual watch talk, Bosko and I sprinkled in some drinks, sports, travel, and other topics. We hope you enjoy this particular collector-focused discussion.

Handgelenks Kontrolle

It\\u2019s a tradition on our show that Mike and I do the Handgelenks Kontrolle, which also goes for guests. For the recording, Bosko did not wear his beloved Zenith 143-6. Instead, he rocked a fantastic vintage US Military field watch, a MIL-W-46374B made by Hamilton. This early \\u201980s timepiece is as much fun as it gets. A genuine military watch, these very models were the predecessors of many modern field watches, such as the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical.

I was rocking something like the Zenith 143-6, namely, my Angelus 215 Hungarian Air Force chronograph. I wore it in honor of the Zenith to stay on theme with the show. While they came from different eras and saw action in different countries, both timepieces had close military ties. That is different from how Bosko and Balazs got to know each other, which resulted in this podcast.

JLC, Lange, and more

Although Bosko and I initially started talking about the Angelus Chrono-Datoluxe, the conversation quickly shifted. As it turned out, Bosko is not merely a fan of the Zenith 143-6 (like me). In fact, he even wrote a guide about this model. Please stay tuned as the third and final installment of the Zenith 143-6 topic will come this Friday. That will be the day the Zenith 143-6 Yugoslavian Military Chronograph Collector\\u2019s Guide will come out. I also acquired one of those timepieces, so the interest was mutual. This led to further discussion, the recording of this episode, and finally, the publishing of the Collector\\u2019s Guide. But before we jumped into that topic, we chatted about some marvelous timepieces in Bosko\\u2019s collection \\u2014 none of them are vintage, for the record. An amazing Jaeger-LeCoultre Duom\\xe9tre gets a mention, and so does an A. Lange & S\\xf6hne Datograph.

We hope you enjoy this latest episode, and thank you for listening. If you have ideas for future shows, please let us know.
