Independent Thinking - with Sō Labs Watch Company

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. Hosts: Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Adam (@mediumwatch) Guests: Rick and Andrew (@solabs.co) In this episode, we chat with two cool dudes about the funky casual watch brand they started (So-Labs).So-Labs watches are quartz, colourful, fun and have a unique way to display time (all the things you CAN’T say about your average Rolex). Join us for a conversation about bringing a new watch brand to market, good design, Josef Albers, colour theory, Chicago watch scene and the importance of connecting with your customers, and not being afraid to create watches with a unique perspective. We also talk modern design classics, and just where to look in your own house to find the best foam insert for watch packaging - the answer will surprise you. Adam and Rick delve deeply into why plastic is such an important modern material, discuss nostalgia for the 1980s and 90’s; express disgust at Yeezy sneakers; and explore Rick’s favourite plastic objects, clocks and toys.

What's Good! It's Episode 24 of Popcorn on FifthWrist Radio. This week Charith (@charithsir) and Sidd (@sidd.pad) are joined by good mate and Fifth Wrist local legen Ben McCann (@benm1991).   The guys talk through some hard hitting news across a multitude of topics. Charith has a rant about the Oscars and gets emotional about something that probably doesn't mean all that much. Sidd discusses the latest releases by Kurono Tokyo and Tissot. They also debate if the Cloche by Cartier makes sense and Hublot's latest SORAI offering worn by Kevin Pietersen is sensible. Charith get's emotional again as he still waits on his cap - calling KP! Throw in a little sports news and Jimmy Butler becoming TAG's newest person that doesn't crack under pressure. They then get into a draft. SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! Ok, we got that out of the way. It's a draft of the all time movie twists. A couple of controversial picks in there. Let's get it!  Recommendations from this episode:    Charith: @poor_collector Sidd: @prasbbb Ben: @jkloss Movie Recommendations: "Primal Fear", "Oldboy" & "Get Out"        Follow Ben on Instagram @benm1991 Intro by @cathy_whittaker     Hype music by SLPSTRM    Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist      Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes.

DTS - Detroit Watch Guy is BACK!

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by fellow Fifth Wrist host Roman (@timesromanau) as we take a trip down memory lane and welcome back fellow watch enthusiast and IG watch community royalty Pedro (@detroitwatchguy)! We start off by discussion some recent changes in the collection since the last time we spoke to Pedro, some watches in, some watches out and we learn about the watch Pedro has set his sights on. We then get into the topic of discussion, watches and brands that use the Unitas 6497/6498. It's an old movement that finds its way from small independents to some of the big houses. We take a look at the history of the movement and who did it best in our eyes. We always learn so much when we go deeper into a specific topic so hopefully you'll learn something as well. It was a lot of fun talking to Pedro and we thank him for his time, thoughts and all the positive energy he brings to the global watch community.  Be sure to follow Pedro @detroitwatchguy on IG to keep up with his fine taste in watches and colourful shirts.  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:  Pedro: @shani.watch Roman: @dr.skinnywrist Anthony: @withajourney Music by @salil808    Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes.
