Fifth Wrist Radio

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!

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!
