Welcome to Driving Time a podcast where horology meets the automotive world. Join Tom and Teesaan as they stumble their way through cars and watches and everything in between. This week we have Dom from the Melbourne Based Microbrand Grip Auto talking about both his brand, history as well as the upcoming (At the time) Melbourne GP

Warning for this episode there is a bit of typing from me on my Mechanical Keyboard while I speak that may infuriate some and others may enjoy it and Zencaster decided to record using my webcam mic instead of my regular mic

Show Notes

Link to show notes here

Take a dive into our picks from the 1990's. These are some of the under appreciated and nearly vintage watches that deserve a bit more attention. Some are starting to shoot up in value and they are definitely off the beaten track and into the world of different and quirky. Alex cheated and didn't follow the rules which is not surprising. Defining_Time: Chopard L.U.C. 1.96 1860 Limited Edition Breguet Type XX Aeronavale Daniel Roth Master Chronograph Ref. C147PT - 2147PT Platinum The Watch Regulator: Alain Silberstein Krono Marine Rattrapante PVD Coated Limited Edition- 100 Pieces   TAG Heuer 1000 Series UAE ARMED FORCES  Cartier Tonneau Cintrée  Sinn 903 HD ST Helmut Sinn Era Anthony's Favourite Review from the Fifth Wrist website:   The Baby Submersible – PAM682  People to go follow on instagram: The Watch Regulator - @endahhartati83 Defining_Time - @timesromanAU  We hope you enjoy it!!!! Cheers from The Watch Regulator and Defining Time.

A couple of European guys from the global fifthwrist-family meet to talk watches - this time not necessarily peaceful ...

While all share the passion for watches, each of them has a sweet spot for a subsection of the world of watches:

Phil (@pippy) loves Seiko,

Benoît (@petitsecondes) runs his own fifthwrist-radio show about vintage watches,

Wolfgang (@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e) represents the Vienna citizen with – of course – Rolex on his wrist, while

Claus (@tapir_ffm) is an dyed-in-the-wool ochs und junior fan-boy …

Each of the gang will defend his thesis … and the others will – as eloquent as merciless – give him a hard time!

Let the carnage begin …

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio.

This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology.

Roman (@TimesRomanAU) was not available for this recording, but Adam (@mediumwatch) found a much better replacement and a different “Roman” to talk to. In this episode, Adam sits down with Roman Winiger (⁠www.winigerhorloger.com⁠) - independent watchmaker, horological consultant, movement constructor, brewer and entrepreneur.

Join us for a fascination discussion regarding creativity, independent horology, movement construction and optimisation, as well as a recap of Mr Winiger’s career path from the service department at Jaeger LeCoultre (@jaegerlecoultre) and a decade in the restoration atelier of Parmigiani Fleurier (@parmigianifleurier) to his own horological project -  “La Montre 12”, "Lost in Time" watch for artist Patrick Bernatchez and the Open Movement project (@openmovement_watchmaking). We also talk about Roman’s La Chaux-de-Fonds beer company (Bier La Comete - The Watchmakers Brewery) and even the totally awesome "Solar Time" sundial drinking glasses he has designed.

We hope you enjoy this fun and a fascinating discussion, and note this episode forms the perfect partner to a recent Independent Thinking episode with Jérémy Freléchox, Roman’s collaborator on the Open Movement project (@openmovement_watchmaking) and master watchmaker from @vanguartwatches and www.timeforge.ch

Lots of shout-outs to indie matchmakers and friends of @FifthWrist Radio in this episode, including: Raul Pages (@raul_pages_watches), Roland G Murphy (@rgmwatches), Cameron Weiss (@weisswatchcompany). and James Henderson (@henki_time) A special mention to our very good friend and inspiration Andre Jorts (@andrejorts).

NSFW!!! NSFW!!! NSFW!!! Okay we warned you. Fifth Wrist Presents Popcorn…The Podcast! Your fix of pop culture and watches! This week, Charith (@charithsir), Sidd (@sidd.pad) and the man with the largest sneaker rotation Paul (@photomonk3y) are talking some real trash.  This episode has strong language, strong takes...look its just strong. Is Sidd a real Liverpool supporter? Is Wonder Woman a terrible person? Is it reasonable to buy a pair of shoes to only wear it once every 20 months? Did the PacMan take steroids? Is there workplace bullying in the Casio factory? Is killing people illegal if you are a landlord and your tenants have not paid their rent? Who is Phil Collins? They ask ALL of the hard hitting questions! They talk about Paul's experience in the world of fashion photography, what watches are worn on fashion week and the hilarious going on's in the G Shock factory in Japan. There's a rundown from some of the malarkey within the Golden Globe nominations and the epic performance in the Super Bowl. The boys then celebrate the Year of the Ox by drafting the Greatest Asian Sportspeople of all time! If you didn't know Montblanc brand ambassador Lin Dan before this, you'll be singing his praises afterwards. GOAT...that's all. Drinking game recommendations: - Every time anyone says: "We should edit that" or "I'll edit that" - Every time Paul swears - Every time Sidd says: "I haven't seen that", "Oh my god" or "I'm not touching that" - Every time Charith says: "I don't know where to go with that" or "Where are you going with this?"

Welcome to the horology world's ultimate watchmaking podcast network. On this episode of the Defining Time Show, Roman makes a reappearance to join me in a conversation with none other than watchmaker Josh Shapiro of JN Shapiro Watches. If you are not familiar with Josh's work you need to check it out. Beautiful engine turned dials that are up there with the best in the world.

Topics

A true craftsman who has perfected his craft and expanding his skills. Josh talks with us about his road to perfecting his craft and Roman has recently purchased a JN Shapiro watch so I thought it would be good to get him on with Josh to talk about the fun bits and challenges when commissioning a piece and how the process works. Josh's passion for what he does shines through as I thought it would. We also chat about the state of the industry from an independent's point of view and it's safe to say he has an opinion and it's worth listening to. Loads of fun and thank you to Josh for being a great sport and taking the time to talk.

In this episode of the Independent Thinking Show for ⁠⁠@FifthWrist⁠⁠⁠ Radio podcast, host Adam (@mediumwatch) brings together two esteemed guests, Oliver Müller (@the_ignorant_frenchman) of LuxeConsult and Hamza Masood (@watchcharts), to delve into the intricate landscape of the luxury watch industry.

The discussion begins with personal insights into their favorite watches and transitions into a comprehensive analysis of market trends, both historical and current.

Oliver, with over two decades of experience in luxury watch consultancy and manufacturing, and Hamza, an expert from WatchCharts, offer their perspectives on the evolution of consumer behavior, the impacts of economic fluctuations, and the future trajectory of watch brands.

The conversation touches on the challenges faced by the Swiss watch industry amidst fluctuating FX rates and economic downturns, while also shedding light on the strategic moves by major brands to address these issues. Both guests provide valuable predictions for the next five years, highlighting increased market polarization and the potential for fewer, more dominant brands.

This interview is back from the Wristcheck event last year sadly due to the timing of the event we only managed to grab a few interviews and the audio isn’t perfect due to taking place during the event and us learning the microphones, This interview is with the world famous Jody from Erebus Watches and of course his Youtube channel Just One More Watch. After years of reviewing watches of numerous brands Jody partnered with Steven and decided to back up his years of reviews and his moans and niggles of what watches should have and what they should cost by starting his own brand and speccing the watches the way he has demanded they should have been specced for years.

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by Adam (@mediumwatch) as we journey to Taiwan to catch up with Joe (@biaoist). Joe is the founder of Redbar Taiwan (@redbartaiwan), a banker by day, and a collector of "OG" watches. Joe begins the podcast double-wristing some "Oaks", with a "Baby Oak" (AP Royal Oak 56175) to match Adam and a JellyOak (G-Shock GA2100SKE) to match Anthony. We then learn the origins of Joe's top hat logo, his thoughts on how leadership has changed in the past year, and how leading from home has changed his watch choices. Diving into Joe's watch box, we hear the stories behind his Royal Oaks, learn more about his passion for Grand Seiko, and discover the reasons behind his decision to aim to collect the original version of many watches. We then discuss other approaches to collecting that he has learned about through chatting with collectors at Redbar Taiwan and on his podcast (see Biaoist.com). We then briefly dive into the Mandarin watch media, watch collecting in Taiwan, and how he decided to found Redbar Taiwan. We conclude with a discussion of how our listeners can learn more about watch content from the Mandarin-speaking world. Be sure to follow @biaoist on IG to see the evolution of this fine collection of "OG" watches.

Welcome to the Loose Screws podcast on Fifth Wrist radio. I'm your host Bob(@brownsvillewatchguy) and on this episode my guest is my lovely wife Renee. It all started one night after a long day and some Vodka Tamarind that we decided to go downstairs and record an impromptu episode. Renee shares her start in watches, speaks her mind on Tag, Cartier, brand ambassadors, and Formula 1. It was definitely an interesting episode and hearing an “outsiders” perspective regarding this crazy watch hobby really shed a light on what “normal” folks think. All comments made are my guests and my own and does not reflect the thoughts/views of all Fifth Wrist contributors or the community. We hope you enjoy this episode just as much as we did.

Cheers from Houston, Bob.

Welcome to another episode of The Defining Time Show on FifthWrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is flying solo and so excited to talk one on one with a legend of the AD world, Mr Danny Goldsmith (@dannygoldsmith23) of Cellini Jewelers in New York City. While always a fan of watches it's only been in the last three years that he has been making dreams come true for watch enthusiasts the world over. Danny is different, he has a real and actual passion for helping people with their watch purchases. He lives and breathes the stuff like I've known no other AD Salesperson to do. Many of our "friends of the show" (actual people we've had on FWR) are no stranger to Danny, friends would be an understatement and I think it's relationships like this that make this hobby just that little bit more special. I ask Danny a series of questions that I've always wanted to ask him. Having personally not had great dealings with AD's, it was paramount for me to get to the bottom of how he differentiates himself from the rest and we discuss what other AD's need to do to lift the customer experience. Danny talk's about some of his own experiences with other AD's as well as sharing some great stories about his personal interactions with our favourite characters from the Indy world.  I really enjoyed this conversation, Danny is a true gentleman and a great sport. I'd like to personally thank him for his time and openness. At the end of the conversation I say that "the world needs more Danny Goldsmith's", I'm sure you'll agree after listening.  Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with me to a conversation with a gentleman.   Recommendations from this episode:  Danny: @nils.o.t Anthony: @horology_michael Follow Danny on Instagram @dannygoldsmith23 Music by @salil808   Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist   Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes.

Welcome to another episode of The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by some absolute legends of the community and friends of the show Danny (@dannygoldsmith23), Asher (@horologicallyinclined), Dustin (@normal.sinus.rhythm) and Brett (@tick_tock3940) for a game of "Who has the best three watch collection if we all had 30k USD to spend and you needed 1 Indy, 1 Mainstream and 1 Micro brand"!!!

We start the conversation with some thoughts and opinions from Watches & Wonders now that a few weeks have past and the dust has settled. I knew we would get some strong statements from these lads and they did not disappoint. While the discussion about new releases could have gone on for hours, we soon got into what we all came to do. 3 watches each, 30k USD budget, 1 Indy, 1 Mainstream and 1 Micro. Snake style fantasy draft was the format but each person could choose their category as they went. It's safe to say that in the end, it probably wouldn't matter which collection you agree with. They were all very well thought out and made for a great battle with the real winners were the watches! 

Special mentions to our horological friends Habring2 (and Anthony didn't bring them up for once), Moser, Konstantin Chaykin & Ochs Und Junior just to mention a few. There is an extra few honourable mentions at the end which could have also made the collections. 

During the discussion we also learnt about Danny's new venture, Goldsmith and Complications. We wish Danny all success with the new business and if you haven't listened to his episode on Fifth Wrist Radio from a few weeks ago, please go back and listen! 

Anthony like to personally thank the four gents for coming onto the show, researching and putting the time into their collections. These battles are not easy and everyone did a great job. 

Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with absolute watch nuts talking watches!

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio.

In this episode (recorded in June 2022), hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Adam (@mediumwatch) sit down for a chat with two very special guests - Mme Evelyne Genta and Alexia Genta (@gerald.genta.heritage). 

The topic of our conversation is the unique creative genius of Gerald Genta and his immeasurable contributions to the horological industry and watch design. Join us as for a wide-ranging conversation about Gerald Genta’s difficult early life; career challenges and successes; his inspirations and thoughts on watch design; artistic impression and love of horological complications.

Five enthusiasts from four countries, three(and a half) languages, two currencies and one passion.

A couple of eager european guys from the global and glorious fifthwrist-family meet to talk watches.

The subject from which they deviate all the time is:

can non-european watches be any good?

If you listen to what Phil, Benoît, Wolfgang, Claus and their guest from Cologne, Jan

(@pippy, @petitsecondes, @w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e, @tapir_ffm and @between_the_lugs)

have to say, you will – amongst others – learn:

> that you can successfully run a great and vivid podcast about vintage watches without knowing much about them

> why the parallax error is important

> which new useless complication will be ruling the watch market anytime soon

> the difference between Brian and Boris Johnson

and …

> serious watch stuff, too

(And they eventually manage to earn an «explicit»-labelling for that podcast.)

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio. 

In this @FifthWrist Radio Podcast episode, hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Adam (@mediumwatch) speak with horological consultant and author Alex Barter (@alexanderbarter). Alex sheds light on his professional journey, from his tenure at Sotheby's in London and Geneva to his role as the Deputy Worldwide Head of Sotheby's Watch Department, before venturing into independent horological consultancy and co-founding BlackBough.

The conversation explores Alex's insights into pocket watch collecting, the importance of preserving horological knowledge, and his book '500 Years, 100 Watches' co-authored with Daryl Schnipper.

Additionally, we discuss the evolving watch market, the impact of digital platforms, and social media's role in horological education are discussed.

Recommendations include following Instagram accounts Vector Animation (@vecthor_animation) and @17jewels.info for animation-driven watch mechanism insights, and Rory McEvoy (@PendulumGeek) for scholarly perspectives.

Shout-outs in this episode to our previous podcast guests: John Reardon (@johnreardon570 and @collectabilityllc), Todd Levin @levinartgroup1 ; Paul Boutros (@pboutros) and Rebecca and Craig Struthers (@strutherswatchmakers).

The episode also suggests checking out BlackBough.co.uk for more on Alex's work and highlights the significance of engaging with horology through books and digital mediums.

Yes, Loose Screws is back and so am I. It's been far too long but better late than never. First I'd like to apologize to my guest Audrey (@lady_dream_watches) as it took a very long time for me to edit this episode. Working from home, pandemic, family, etc just took a lot more of my time this 2021 than I expected. In this episode I'm joined by Scaramanga (@scaramanga__) as co-host and we had the privilege to chat with a true watch industry insider. Audrey's experience is unbelievable with stops at Christie's, Audemars Piguet, FP Journe, and Ferdinand Berthoud. She shares her thoughts about social media, attempt to talk about blockchain technology, and the women's movement in the watch world. We debated who has the best integrated bracelet and gave some other options. Scaramanga speaks his mind about Moser, I mean when doesn't he. Hope you enjoy the episode and cheers from Texas. - Bob

Watches talked about in this episode: Minase and The Citizen Calibre 0200

Audrey's watch recommendations:

Under $1,000 USD - West End Watch Co and Klokers

From $5,000 - $10,000 USD - Panerai Luminor Due

Over $10,000 USD - Do your homework. But if Audrey could get one it would be the FP Journe Only Watch.

Bob - @winters.watches (seems that she changed her instagram name from when the episode was recorded)

Anthony (@defining_time) and Rob (@Geneva_Blue) team up for the first time to interview Swiss Watch Industry pioneer CEO of H Moser & Cie Edouard Meylan. We take a different road for this conversation and talk about being so innovative and "controversial" in the industry, do they always feel the pressure to continue pushing the boundaries with every new release and how to keep things positive when being asked very similar questions in different ways on podcasts and YouTube interviews. We then chat a bit about trust and the Pioneer Tour and what has been the result of removing "Swiss Made" from their dials. We hope this is a different interview to you are used.  We cannot thank Ed enough for always making himself available to speak with and for being so open, honest and transparent. A true gentlemen and modern day pioneer. Thank you Ed.  We hope you enjoy this episode just as much as we did.   Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist To join our crew group chat then please email us at contact@fifthwrist.com and if you have time please leave us a review wherever you listen to our podcast.
