Fifth Wrist Radio The European Gang Talks Watches #4
A couple of European guys from the global Fifthwrist family get together to talk about watches. In this session we talk about watches from the regions we all come from.
So, Benoît (@petitsecondes) has a lot to tell us about the famous watch region around Besançon, Claus (@tapir_ffm) will prove to you, that Frankfurt has more to offer than banks and the airport, Phil (@pippy) has some manufacturers nearly in walking distance and Wolfgang (@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e) will introduce you to more than one Austrian brand.
