Happy New Year, everyone! I hope the first PoppingCrowns Newsletter of 2025 finds you all well. Each person navigates the new year in their own way. Personally, I feel that I don’t usually handle the new year well, but having a space where we can share our collective love for a hobby always helps. I just returned from a short trip to New York City, where I visited friends, saw Wicked on Broadway, and, of course, checked out some watches. Below, you’ll find a little collection of articles released so far in January, the first of which came out today!

You can read this final installment HERE, and as always, please leave a comment on the site to share your thoughts!
