Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast episode 689! Welcome to this special edition of the podcast, where we shift our focus from the mechanics of horology to the real-world dangers that can accompany wearing a fine timepiece. In this episode, we’re joined once again by Kev and Tom from the Metropolitan Police—two seasoned officers on the frontlines of tackling high-end watch thefts and serious crime in London. Whether you’re on a night out, heading on holiday, or eyeing a tempting watch deal online, this is essential listening.

We’ll discuss how to stay safe, avoid common pitfalls, and learn about the undercover operations that have helped dismantle some of the most prolific watch theft gangs in recent years. From bait watches to smart prevention strategies, it’s an eye-opening look at the hidden risks and the measures you can take to protect yourself and your prized wristwear.
