In Episode 6, we discuss the recent article 'The hunt for JP Morgan's million-dollar pocket watch' by Daniel Miller. The conversation transitions into the subject of missing watches, and which significant examples have stood out over the years. With the new year right around the corner, we then look back at 2021 and revisit our favorite stories, watch purchases, lots at auction, while ending with our predictions for what 2022 will hold.
