In the week before this year's Watches & Wonders, Gentleman's Journal watch editor Justin Hast makes his predictions for the event — while also touching on some landmark anniversaries this year, the breakout marques he has his eye on, and the very special new watch that he has just added to his collection.

Join Gentleman’s Journal Editor-in-Chief Harry Jarman, Editor Joe Bullmore and Motoring Editor-at-Large Rory FH Smith on the cars to know about in 2026, the inside scoop on the teams and drivers behind the new season of Formula One and why WhatsApp's founder needs two, near identical £300m mega yachts.

Jeremy King first appeared on our podcast in the summer of 2020, when we met in a whirring office above The Wolseley, the flagship restaurant of his sprawling Corbin & King group. Two years later, following a shareholder dispute, he relinquished control of that particular empire — a difficult moment that he nonetheless describes now as "not such a bad thing." In the four years since, he has opened The Park (an excellent, humming New York brasserie); Arlington (an ingenious re-birth of the beloved old Le Caprice); and now Simpson's in the Strand, a timely resurrection of one of London's most iconic restaurants. This episode is very much a 'chapter two' to our original conversation, then — in which we touch on why restaurants need to 'have a point'; Jeremy's surprising plate-clearing talents; and why you should never get annoyed about something you'll shortly forget.
