Independent Thinking - Magnus Bosse (MING Watches co-founder) on independent watchmaking

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. This is a place dedicated to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology.  Hosts: Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Claus (@tapir_ffm) chat with Dr Magnus Bosse (@magnusbosse) - co-founder of MING Watches, watch collector, microbiologist, photographer, winner and member of the GPHG jury.  Join us as for a conversation about independent watchmaking; Ochs & Junior; watchmakers Dr Ludwig Oeschlin and Paul Gerber; and, of course MING watches. We also reminisce about the early days of watch forums and flea markets; and discuss the vital importance of proper watch journalism in the current media landscape.  NOTE: this episode was recorded in two parts (May and September 2021), so in the second part, we will discuss the MING x Massena Lab collaboration project and some of the technical issues encountered in that release. (Apologies for the audio quality on my end for part 2 - will be fixing up hardware for the next show!) Special shout-outs in this episode to: Paul Gerber, Ochs & Junior (@ochsundjunior), Elio @the349designer, and Joshua Shapiro @jnshapiro_watches.  Recommendations from this episode: Magnus - @theopencaseback, @misstweedofficial, @horological_tools  Claus - @close.up.watches  Roman - @dr.skinnywrist  Follow Magnus on @magnusbosse, TheEclecticum.Com and @mingwatches  Quill and Pad Article About the Superbia Humanitatis watch discussed is here.   New Theme Music for 2021: Circle Round by Spinning Clocks (via YouTube Free Music Channel)  Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist and FifthWrist.com  Fifth Wrist website and podcast are run entirely by enthusiasts, watchmakers and collectors.
