Watches and Politics

Watches and Politics

Watches and Politics is a limited-series podcast exploring the surprising connections between horology and history. Hosted by political scientist Edi Shipoli, each episode uncovers how watches have shaped war, diplomacy, industrial revolutions, and global power. This is the story of timekeeping as a political force—from Calvinist Geneva to Cold War summits, from luxury diplomacy to digital disruption. Smart, stylish, and historically rich.
