TVH - Kev and Charlie and Cartier 01 Dec 202102:41:09

Enter The Vintage Hen-House, pick a perch, and listen to Benoît (@Petitesecondes) and his co-hosts chat to vintage watch collectors from all over the world about their collection, the vintage watch world, and many other things. Let's talk about the good, the bad and the ugly stories that we can all share about collecting vintage watches!


Host: Benoît @Petitesecondes


Guests: Kevin O'Dell from @theydid and Charlie Dunne from @books_on_time


This episode was planned to be about Cartier and the Monaco Legend Auction that took place recently. But then everything went haywire, with the head of Fifthwrist forgetting to set his alarm clock, internet disconnections and a surprise guest? All these unexpected events still make for a nice chat to listen to, and not just about vintage Cartier watches. I hope you like it and have fun listening to our ranting!

Thanks to Kevin Lee for the new microphone!

Independent Thinking - Nick and Josh Hacko (@nicholashackowatch) independent Australian Watchmakers05 Sep 202102:10:37
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. Hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Alex “aka The Podfather” (@thewatchregulator) chat with Nick and Josh Hacko (@nicholashackowatch) - a fiercely independent watchmaking father and son team behind the Australian Indie Watchmaking Company “Nicholas Hacko Watches”. Join us for a truely passionate and honest conversation about independent watchmaking; the challenges of carving your own path in the horological industry; and the exciting journey Hacko Watches are undertaking manufacturing and machining watches in Australia. We also talk about the importance of integrity and suffering for your craft; passion and drive which underpins everything Nick and Josh are doing to create a truly unique ecosystem to support and further independent watchmaking. We also talk about their new watch NH3, manufactured in Sydney Australia about to be released; and why George Daniels can be blamed for unrealistic expectations customers have of independent watchmakers. Also - we introduce the concept of “artisanally distressed” dials (make sure to listen out for that). Strap yourself in (watch pun VERY MUCH intended!) It’s a great conversation. Hope you enjoy! Special shout-out in this episode to Konstantin Chaykin (@k_chaykin); Josh Shapiro (@jnshapiro_watches), Collective Horology (@collectivehorology); Buchanan Clocks; Jochen Benzinger (@benzingerwatches); and Tommy Jobson (@tommy.jobson); Anton Suhanov (@anton.suhanov); Artur Akmaev (@arturakmaev_watches); Kilian Leschnik (@watchmaker.kl).

DTS - Watch talk with Joe from @BIAOIST 20 Aug 202101:22:26
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.

Popcorn - 1999 with Zach Kazan (Worn & Wound)19 Aug 202101:31:21
What's Good! It's Episode 27 of Popcorn on FifthWrist Radio. This week Charith (@charithsir) and SIdd (@sidd.pad) are joined by Worn & Wound Associate Editor Zach Kazan (@zkazan)! The guys get chatting with Zach who is a genuine watch and film buff about his passions, how he got into them and how he turned being an enthusiast to a profession working at Worn & Wound. Oh hey, they also throw in a Johnny English Watch Spot. Then we have a Draft! 1999 is widely regarded as one of the truly great years in movie history so they go deep into it! The greatest movies of 1999, by genre! It's an absolute banger, throw in a trademark Sidd pick, an unfortunate Kevin Spacey mention and a whipped cream bikini. This one truly gets nerdy! Zach also does his Deserted Island, one that actually has some thought behind it! PLEASE NOTE: We did have some issues with Sidd's audio on this episode, we tried to rescue and repair as much as we could!

The European Gang Talks Watches #311 Aug 202102:00:08

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 …

Show notes:

00:00 - Intro

01:13 - Wrist and drink checks

01:52 - History lesson: the Grape Phylloxera disaster

Independent Thinking - Allen Farmelo (@beyond.the.dial); Watches, Motorcycles, Tanks and the Aesthetic Revolution08 Aug 202102:04:30
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. Conversation between Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and our guest - the journalist, podcaster, motorcycling fanatic and poultry fancier, Allen Farmelo (@beyond.the.dial); host of the brilliant Beyond The Dial podcast. Join us for a passionate and honest conversation about authenticity; pitfalls of marketing; the watch media landscape; our approaches to communicating about horology; NAZI watches; Ducati motorcycles; Cartier Tanks; Andy Warhol; Walt Odets; and our mutual fascination with all things horological. We also discuss Allen’s first watch release with Alsta Watches - the ALSTA X BTD MOTOSCAPHE 120. Allen deconstructs the concept, inspiration and design of this watch, and just why you should totally get one (obviously, a fully unbiassed opinion here!) I have been a huge fan of Allen’s work at @beyond.the.dial, and I am sure once you hear this episode - you will be a convert too. Honestly, this episode was a huge blast! A bit of a language warning on this one - Enjoy! Special shout out in this one to our mutual friend Gary Shteyngart (@shteyngart) and a couple of special chickens (Snow @petitesecondes) and the late lamented Claude!

Popcorn - Cars and the Coxswain 22 Jul 202102:36:45

What's Good! It's Episode 26 of Popcorn on FifthWrist Radio. This week Charith (@charithsir) and SIdd (@sidd.pad) are joined by local legend Teesaan (@teesaankoo)!

The guys get DEEEEEEEEEEP, and I mean deep! Chatting about a winners mindset in sport, Teesaan's background in rowing, cancel culture and when it is right, wrong or too much, the difference between a "car guy" and a "car enthusiast". 

The listener question gets handled quite well - greatest athlete turned actor? Charith also discussed a Will Ferrell movie featuring a Timex Ironman that is quite fun.

Then we have a Draft! Greatest movie cars ever, after several minutes of confusion we get under way!!! Some debate, some insults and maybe even a pick that Shooter McGavin would be proud of!

Teesaan also does his Deserted Island, no cancels!

DTS - German watches with Mike 09 Jul 202101:15:17

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by our favourite and only German co host Claus (@tapir_ffm) as we get a lesson on German watches with all-round legend and German watch expert Mike (@mikestuffler). Mike has a massive passion for German watches and really just watches in general. Like many, Rolex will always weasel its way in somehow, but we take a look at some of Mike's favourites and hear a story about how his whole collection was stolen. Truly very sad but Mike is a trooper and just got on with rebuilding. Mike was a moderator for the watch forum WatchUSeek for many years as well as a host of other forums so we really mean expert and it was interested to hear about how forums do their best to keep the scammers away. We discuss the history of Flieger watches and how they were and still are such an important watch as well as chatting about a weird connection between Japan's fascination with USA well build military clothing and what the modern day Flieger stands for. Claus and Anthony certainly learnt a thing or two about German watches as we're sure you will too. We'd like to thank Mike for coming to speak with us for his first ever podcast and we can't wait to have him back to do a German watch battle!!!!! 

Be sure to follow @mikestuffler on IG to keep up with all things German watches and his fine collection.

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!

DTS - Detroit Watch Guy is BACK! 04 Jun 202101:10:29

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by fellow Fifth Wrist host Roman (@timesromanau) as we take a trip down memory lane and welcome back fellow watch enthusiast and IG watch community royalty Pedro (@detroitwatchguy)! We start off by discussion some recent changes in the collection since the last time we spoke to Pedro, some watches in, some watches out and we learn about the watch Pedro has set his sights on. We then get into the topic of discussion, watches and brands that use the Unitas 6497/6498. It's an old movement that finds its way from small independents to some of the big houses. We take a look at the history of the movement and who did it best in our eyes. We always learn so much when we go deeper into a specific topic so hopefully you'll learn something as well. It was a lot of fun talking to Pedro and we thank him for his time, thoughts and all the positive energy he brings to the global watch community. 

Be sure to follow Pedro @detroitwatchguy on IG to keep up with his fine taste in watches and colourful shirts. 

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!

Independent Thinking - Martin Braun (master watchmaker) & Scott Goldman (@goldmanstagram1) - indie watchmaking, astronomical complications, stars and clocks29 Dec 202301:21:24
Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio. @FifthWrist Independent Thinking Show is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology.   In this special episode, Roman (@TimesRomanAU) sits down for a chat with one of his horological heroes and indie watchmaking royalty - master watchmaker and clockmaker Martin Braun, and a previous guest and friend of FifthWrist Scott Goldman. Our fascinating conversation captures the intricacies of indie horology, the evolution of Martin’s horology career, and the trials and tribulations of early independent watchmaking in the 1990s and early 2000s.  We get insights into Martin’s approach to unique designs, astronomical influences in his watches, his (not positive) experience with the Frank Muller, and the current relaunch of the EOS sunrise and sunset watch. This episode is packed with rich stories and insights into the world of watchmaking, giving listeners a close-up look into the complexities and the artistry involved in creating timepieces. The iconic Martin Braun EOS model (with customisable sunrise and sunset indicators set for the owner’s location) is now relaunched and available.

The European Gang Talks Watches #221 May 202101:57:17

A couple of european guys from the global fifth wrist-family meet to talk watches-with a focus on bespoke and/or custom and/or made to measure and/or just slightly modified watches. Is there a difference?

Phil(@pippy), Benoît(@petitsecondes), Wolfgang(@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e), Claus(@tapir_ffm) and their guest from Sicily, Elio, @the349designer, think there is! If you think your PorscheDesignWatch is bespoke, because you can choose the rotor (at the cost of a watch from other brands) and the colour of the strap stitching... listen what level Elio has brought to bespoke watch design...

DTS - With William Massena "The Battle" 14 May 202101:28:06
Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by fellow Fifth Wrist podcast host Roman(@timesromanau) and watch industry titan and pioneer William Massena of Massena Lab.  We start the conversation with getting some updates on a few upcoming collaborations William has in store and we ask a few questions about the challenges of collaborations and what were the turning points in his career so far. Its safe to say there is some seriously exciting launches in the coming months and we can't wait. Then we go to BATTLE! The task was set for each person to come prepared to talk out the 5 "Greatest Watches of all Time" (in our opinion) and battle it out. While there was certainly some no brainer choices it was also great to see some unique independent watches make the lists. It was a lot of fun and a privilege to hear William's picks. I don't want to give it all away so you will just have to listen.  Anthony and Roman would like to personally thank William for coming onto the show and sharing his 5 Greatest Watches of all Time.  Be sure to follow William @therealmassena and @massenalab on IG and sign up for their newsletter to stay up to date and not miss out on any of the launches coming this year.  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! ***Full disclosure, we did experience some internet speed issues from William's hotel room but it was all too good to cut out so stick with it, it's worth it*** Recommendations from this episode: William: @burymewithmywatches Roman: @papillonwatchman Anthony: @koopology Music by @salil808    Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes.
