Georgia Benjamin on Collecting, Cartier, and Crafting Her Path in Watches | Wrist Check Pod #95
In this episode of the Wrist Check Podcast, we sit down with designer, watch collector, and influencer Georgia Benjamin to explore her incredible journey in the world of horology. Georgia opens up about her first major watch purchase for her 30th birthday and how it sparked her passion for collecting vintage timepieces. She shares insights on being a woman in the watch industry, her obsession with Cartier’s rich history and design language, and the stories behind her enviable 30-piece collection.
We also dive into the opportunities within fashion watch brands and what it takes to build an authentic voice as a watch influencer. Georgia treats the WCP team to a closer look at four very special gold watches from her collection, each with its own unique backstory. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your horological journey, this conversation is packed with inspiration, knowledge, and plenty of golden moments.

    Fantastic discussion! Love hearing about collecting from a woman’s perspective. We need more of that. I wasn’t familiar with Georgia’s game but it’s clear she has a mean watch game. Those purple dials reminded me of Rae and Ghost’s classic Purple Tape, another duo who also consistently drops classic Eps.

    it is a real ap it not the factory set ap in that collection its a clone of the green one from that collection if you can comprehend a jeweller took an AP and cloned the factory set ap that was made for that special collection and sold it to Ross not knowing shit about watches probably didn't even know The original was part of a collection he just bought a green Ap not knowing shit that's the difference between buying on first hand market vs second and third

    Cubitus is the dumbest shit ever. Let’s just call it for what it is haha. I think that the world would have been more “accepting” if they came up with a new bracelet and shaved the ears off the watch. THAT would have been a new release. But instead we have a square nautilus and they won’t skip a beat unfortunately.

    Funnily enough, MAMACOO's replicas are perfect for people who can actually afford a luxury watch. Because in those social circles, it wouldn't matter and everybody would just assume it's real. You have a yacht and a beach house in Tuscany, of course that replica is real. There isn't a millionaire out there going around with a jeweller's loupe to scrutinize their acquaintance's watch. They'll just go "Oh is that a Patek? Nice, I should really get my hands on one of those, they look great."
