Fifth Wrist Radio

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 Guest: Guillaume @the_patina_boy In this episode, Guillaume from @the_patina_boy talks about his watch collecting habits, focusing on patina and damage of vintage watches. He even came up with a simple classification of the different sorts of patina that you can find when searching for vintage watches. Guillaume is a huge dive watch fanatic and shares a bit of knowledge on the iconic Aquastar range of skin divers as well as the Aquaplunge. You will hear a lot of great reasons to buy a watch with signs of wear over a new old stock example!

A couple of european guys from the global fifth wrist-family meet to talk watches-with a focus on bespoke and/or custom and/or made to measure and/or just slightly modified watches. Is there a difference? Phil(@pippy), Benoît(@petitsecondes), Wolfgang(@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e), Claus(@tapir_ffm) and their guest from Sicily, Elio, @the349designer, think there is! If you think your PorscheDesignWatch is bespoke, because you can choose the rotor (at the cost of a watch from other brands) and the colour of the strap stitching... listen what level Elio has brought to bespoke watch design...

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by fellow Fifth Wrist podcast host Roman(@timesromanau) and watch industry titan and pioneer William Massena of Massena Lab.  We start the conversation with getting some updates on a few upcoming collaborations William has in store and we ask a few questions about the challenges of collaborations and what were the turning points in his career so far. Its safe to say there is some seriously exciting launches in the coming months and we can't wait. Then we go to BATTLE! The task was set for each person to come prepared to talk out the 5 "Greatest Watches of all Time" (in our opinion) and battle it out. While there was certainly some no brainer choices it was also great to see some unique independent watches make the lists. It was a lot of fun and a privilege to hear William's picks. I don't want to give it all away so you will just have to listen.  Anthony and Roman would like to personally thank William for coming onto the show and sharing his 5 Greatest Watches of all Time.  Be sure to follow William @therealmassena and @massenalab on IG and sign up for their newsletter to stay up to date and not miss out on any of the launches coming this year.  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! ***Full disclosure, we did experience some internet speed issues from William's hotel room but it was all too good to cut out so stick with it, it's worth it*** Recommendations from this episode: William: @burymewithmywatches Roman: @papillonwatchman Anthony: @koopology Music by @salil808    Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes.

Welcome to another episode of The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by some absolute legends of the community and friends of the show Danny (@dannygoldsmith23), Asher (@horologicallyinclined), Dustin (@normal.sinus.rhythm) and Brett (@tick_tock3940) for a game of "Who has the best three watch collection if we all had 30k USD to spend and you needed 1 Indy, 1 Mainstream and 1 Micro brand"!!! We start the conversation with some thoughts and opinions from Watches & Wonders now that a few weeks have past and the dust has settled. I knew we would get some strong statements from these lads and they did not disappoint. While the discussion about new releases could have gone on for hours, we soon got into what we all came to do. 3 watches each, 30k USD budget, 1 Indy, 1 Mainstream and 1 Micro. Snake style fantasy draft was the format but each person could choose their category as they went. It's safe to say that in the end, it probably wouldn't matter which collection you agree with. They were all very well thought out and made for a great battle with the real winners were the watches!  Special mentions to our horological friends Habring2 (and Anthony didn't bring them up for once), Moser, Konstantin Chaykin & Ochs Und Junior just to mention a few. There is an extra few honourable mentions at the end which could have also made the collections.  During the discussion we also learnt about Danny's new venture, Goldsmith and Complications. We wish Danny all success with the new business and if you haven't listened to his episode on Fifth Wrist Radio from a few weeks ago, please go back and listen!  Anthony like to personally thank the four gents for coming onto the show, researching and putting the time into their collections. These battles are not easy and everyone did a great job.  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: Brett: @o.husek Asher: @membersonlysopranos Dustin: @goldsmithandcomplications Danny: @peterwatchcollector Anthony: @onlybuyingtime Music by @salil808    Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes.

Welcome to the Loose Screws podcast on Fifth Wrist radio. I'm your host Bob(@brownsvillewatchguy) and on this episode my guest is my lovely wife Renee. It all started one night after a long day and some Vodka Tamarind that we decided to go downstairs and record an impromptu episode. Renee shares her start in watches, speaks her mind on Tag, Cartier, brand ambassadors, and Formula 1. It was definitely an interesting episode and hearing an “outsiders” perspective regarding this crazy watch hobby really shed a light on what “normal” folks think. All comments made are my guests and my own and does not reflect the thoughts/views of all Fifth Wrist contributors or the community. We hope you enjoy this episode just as much as we did.

What's Good! Episode 22 of Popcorn on FifthWrist Radio. This week Charith (@charithsir) and Michael (@woodswatchmaking) are joined by someone who really is so hot right now - the founder of Dimepiece.co, Brynn Wallner.   The guys hear Brynn's journey to being a watch enthusiast and the creation of Dimepiece and what it means to women who are buying their first watch. They discuss everything from who is the ultimate "Dimepiece", some releases of the time (Blancpain/Omega), if Don Cheadle really knows who he is having coffee with, the Oscar nominations and of course the collab between Publix and Citizen that might just challenge the status quo (here's looking at you AP).  Then they do the Greatest Films directed by Women Draft followed by Brynn's Popcorn Deserted Island!
