Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by a fresh and new co-host to FWR Vaughan (@hands.faces.cases) to speak with Micro Brand Zentier founder and designer Morten (@zentierofficial). As this is the first time speaking directly with a micro brand owner it was important to dig down into the actual process and figure out how someone makes the decision to press forward and release their own watches into the heavily saturated watch market. We learnt some very interesting things about the brand but also about Morten, what his day job is and his personal collecting journey. We asked all the questions you'd like to know about micro brands and we would really like to thank Morten for his openness. Some special mentions to @scaramanga and Moser watches, both not mentioned by Anthony.   Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with absolute watch nuts talking watches! Recommendations from this episode: Morten: @watchfred Vaughan: @not_the_most_northern  Anthony: @schnelle.co (sorry I recommended him again but hey, he is awesome)  Music by @salil808   Special thanks and shoutout to @cathy_whittaker for the Fifth Wrist voice work. Love it, thank you! Special mention to @southslope.nyc for his cool new mugs and t-shirts - check 'em out! Special Special thanks to @hands.faces.cases and @the_humble_horologists for helping out with the reviews and bringing more owners reviews to the community at warp speed.
