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.

We talk watches as well (who would have thought!?) - green dial-gate, why Grand Seiko fonts can get on people's nerves, Glashutte's sporty incomings. Michael asks if a certain CEO of a certain "holy trinity" brand with the intials that might be A and P is a certified maniac.   Then they do the Greatest Films starring the greatest of the greatest DENZEL WASHINGTON (Charith get's annoyed with other people's picks) followed by Sidd's Popcorn Deserted Island!

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.
