Watch Vault Media

Watch Vault Media gathers the day's watch news from a curated list of publishers, YouTube channels and podcasts, and links you to each one. For collectors and anyone interested in watchmaking. THE DAY IN WATCHES • Articles, Videos and Podcasts, newest first, a day at a time. • Each story as its publisher gives it: the headline, the publisher's picture and its own short excerpt. Read opens the publisher's article, in Reader view where the page has one. • A story several sources report is shown once, with how many more report it. • Twelve subjects, from new releases and independents to vintage and auctions, and a page for each. YOUR SOURCES • 29 sites, 24 channels and 13 podcasts to choose from, with a starting set switched on. Switch any on or off, put them in your order, or add a feed address of your own. • Where a publisher is owned by, or is, a seller of watches, the app says so beside the source. Posts a publisher marks as sponsored or as a shop are labelled. • The list is curated, not ranked. Nothing is hidden from you and nothing is suggested. • Discover: each quarter, six more sources worth a look, which you can read before switching on. BRANDS AND EVENTS • Follow up to six of 100 watch brands for a chip with the headlines that name them. • Events: the fairs, awards and major watch auctions ahead, each date checked against the organiser's own page, with Add to Calendar. PODCASTS • A small player that keeps playing in the background and on the lock screen, with speed control and the place in each episode remembered. • Download an episode to play without a connection. Downloads are removed after 30 days. READ IT YOUR WAY • Save stories, videos and episodes for later. • Search everything the app holds, on the device. • Light or dark, text size, and one to three stories side by side on iPad. • Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen. • Optional alerts for a subject, the brands you follow or new episodes, all off until you turn one on. • Optional Unlock with Face ID. • Optional Sync across your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in, no advertising, no analytics. What you read, save and search stays on your device, or in your own iCloud if you turn on sync. The app connects to the publishers' feeds and pages, YouTube, the App Store for tips, and two public files of ours: the list of events and the story archive used by Search. Every feature is included. Optional tips in Settings unlock nothing. From Aveneg Technologies, LLC.
