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.

In this episode, hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Phil (@pippy) sit down for a chat with Dave Brailsford, the founder of Garrick Watches (@garrickwatchco). Garrick is an independent watch brand which has become synonymous with British craftsmanship and traditional watchmaking craft.

Join us for an honest and open conversation about Garrick’s founding, ethos and direction. Along the way we talk about British Watchmaking; horological crafts like guilloche and engraving; and the mind-boggling array of customisations Garrick can offer.

Dave is a passionate advocate for indie watchmaking (and is a great collector in his own right).

We also discuss Dave’s other project The Watchmakers Club - a relaxed way to bring indie makers and collectors together.

Finally, Dave tells us about his personal watch collection, which includes some truly outstanding pieces (eg. Peter Roberts Concentrique and other gems).

If you are into indie watchmaking, and enjoy hearing stories of passion and horological merit - you will enjoy this episode!

Make sure to check out Garrick Watches on Instagram at @garrickwatchco and their website. Also check out The Watchmakers Club.

Special shoutouts to: Peter Roberts; Josh Shapiro @jnshapiro_watches and @Nicholas Bowman-Scargill of @FearsWatches (friend and previous guys of FW!)
