In this episode of the Independent Thinking Show for ⁠@FifthWrist⁠ Radio, Roman (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TimesRomanAU⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) and Claus (⁠@tapir_ffm⁠) interview Dr Sébastien Chaulmontet - proprietor of Albishorn Watches (@albishorn_watches), book author and a multifaceted expert in horology, chronographs and movement design.

Our discussion explores Albishorn’s unique approach to creating 'imaginary vintage' watches, focusing on niche horological complications such as the Maxigraph regatta chronograph (Roman's new favourite chronograph!) and others.

Sébastien shares his insights on the challenges of launching a watch brand, the balance between creative freedom and practical limitations, and his future vision for Albishorn, including upcoming models and the brand's commitment to maintaining approachable prices.

The episode also touches upon Sébastien's other influential roles at Sellita, La Joux-Perret, Angelus and Arnold & Son, and his passion for historical horology.
