Fifth Wrist Radio Austrias (not so) hidden champions: Sphaera Watch Co.
Link to show notes here
or, if the link doesn't work on your system:
This is the sixth edition of a small series of podcasts about the (not so) hidden watch champions of Germany – and this time for the first time Austria.
This time with our Fifth Wrist colleague Wolfgang / @w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e.
We are talking to Martin and Daniel from Sphaera Watch Co., the home of the «desk diver».
You will learn about a cool new brand, watchmaking in Austria – and a lot of stuff about Austria and the Salzburg region :-)
Enjoy listening!
