Fratello’s May 2, 2024 episode of Fratello Talks is a final look back at Watches and Wonders 2024, filling in selected brands and releases its hosts missed in their first episode. Nacho, Thomas, and Lex also discuss the mood of the show and what it might reflect about the watch industry.
What the debrief covers
The episode brings Nacho, Thomas, and Lex back together to revisit parts of Watches and Wonders 2024 that did not make it into Fratello’s first episode. The recap names Panerai, Montblanc, Hublot, and IWC, as well as smaller brands that presented their watches at the show. Those are examples mentioned in the page, not a complete list of the brands or releases discussed.
Alongside the brand and release catch-up, the hosts talk about the event’s general mood and how it might reflect the wider watch industry. The episode page does not provide market statistics or a transcript, so the discussion is best understood as the hosts’ impressions rather than quantified evidence about industry conditions. Read Fratello’s episode page.
The watches on the hosts’ wrists
The wrist check gives the recap a personal side, with three very different watches connected to the hosts’ tastes and experiences.

Nacho: Citizen Promaster NY0040
Nacho’s Citizen Promaster NY0040 is tied to a personal milestone: it was his first automatic dive watch and the first watch he took scuba diving. Fratello says he wore it on a discovery dive off Lanzarote in 2019 and kept wearing it through his Advanced Open Water certification. The article reports that he bought his example pre-owned for €50; that is his personal purchase anecdote, not a typical or current market price. Fratello’s NY0040 article gives further context on the watch.

Fratello presents this as the final episode in its coverage of the 2024 show: it revisits selected material missed earlier and considers the overall atmosphere. It is not a complete release catalogue, product comparison, or buying shortlist. The episode page’s reader-facing sign-off asks, “Did we miss any of your favorites?”
