Watches & Wonders 2025: Daily Episodes Live From Geneva | Day 4

Stephanie Bednarek is both a space professional and a watch nerd. Her passion for space started early and she has worked in the business of space in quite a few capacities, both for government organizations and private companies. She realized she loved watches through a funny set of circumstances but has developed a diverse taste in watches that goes way beyond the models you're probably expecting (though she does still love a good Speedmaster). She also has a lot of thoughts about what the watch industry could do to get more women interested in the hobby and she’s not afraid to let them know.

This Friday, Geneva will play host to the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, or GPHG, the most prestigious awards we have in the watchmaking industry. Winners are chosen across a variety of categories, including things like complications, sports watches, best watch under CHF 6,500, etc. We thought it would be fun to get a few of our editors together in the studio ahead of the awards ceremony to give our thoughts on the 72 short-listed watches, so Ben, Cara, Jon, and I each picked our own winners and debated the finer points of what separates the best from the rest.

Davide Cerrato is the creative director and head of watchmaking at Montblanc, overseeing both the creative and business sides of the firm – a rare thing indeed. Once you get past his friendly demeanor, you realize that he's an extremely sharp guy, who brings his knowledge of the world outside the Vallée de Joux to bear on his work in unexpected ways. Davide's job is to lead the company into the future, being savvy enough to take the best of the past with them, while having the discipline to leave the rest behind. In this episode, he sits down with HODINKEE editors Jon Bues and Stephen Pulvirent. Enjoy.

To call Michael Weisberg a watch dealer doesn’t really do him justice. In addition to selling watches (and really damn good ones, I might add), he also deals in vintage design and furniture, classic cars, art, and more. From classic Rolex sport watches or rare Prouvé chairs, Sol Lewitt wall drawings or a vintage Ferrari, Michael is your guy. We sat down with Michael in LA to talk his career path, the state of the collecting community, and how his various interests all intersect. Enjoy.
