Fifth Wrist Radio

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.  Host Roman (@TimesRomanAU) ( chat with today's special guest - clockmaker and horologist H Peter Doble (@doblehpeter). We discuss Peter's journey into horology (comparatively late in life); and his interest in clock and chronometer making and precision timekeeping. We talk at length about Peter's apprenticeship with horologist and "friend of the show" David Walter (@davide.walter); sustainability and integrity of the craft; setting up and equipping his workshop; his first chronometer project and goals for the craft. If you are interested in independent watchmaking, American horology scene and just what it takes to learn and practice the craft as an independent maker - you will enjoy this conversation. I found Peter's story hugely inspirational, and hope you will enjoy it.

Enter The Vintage Hen-House, pick a perch, and listen to Benoît (@Petitesecondes) and his co-hosts chat to vintage watch collectors from all over the world about their collection, the vintage watch world, and many other things. Let's talk about the good, the bad and the ugly stories that we can all share about collecting vintage watches! Host: Benoît @Petitesecondes Guests: Kevin O'Dell from @theydid and Charlie Dunne from @books_on_time This episode was planned to be about Cartier and the Monaco Legend Auction that took place recently. But then everything went haywire, with the head of Fifthwrist forgetting to set his alarm clock, internet disconnections and a surprise guest? All these unexpected events still make for a nice chat to listen to, and not just about vintage Cartier watches. I hope you like it and have fun listening to our ranting!
