Fifth Wrist Radio

Welcome to another episode of The Defining Time Show on FifthWrist Radio. This week we Anthony (@defining_time) and The Podfather and visionary genius himself (@thewatchregulator), chat to one of Fifth Wrist's OG fans who openly talks about how he listens to our podcasts in the bath, with a candle and a stiff drink. Teesaan is an integral part of the Melbourne watch community and a massive watch lover. His collection is anything from vintage Heuer to the latest and greatest from Bell and Ross, as well as a watch shared with a group of mates. We go deep into his watch collection from its routes to the price limits he puts on watches and items in general. Teesaan is a great storyteller, he goes into how important family is from travelling to New York with his eldest daughter, cherishing the drives he goes on with his son in his vintage 911 and his favourite rowing memories.  This episode was recorded on Christmas Eve 2020, what a shitty year that was. Anthony did say that it would be Christmas in July 2021 when this episode would air but thankfully it has come out sooner.  Hope you enjoy this episode! Many thanks to Teesaan for joining us on the podcast today!  Recommendations from this episode: Teesaan: @farrahdesign Alex: @clocktail_time Anthony: @jowlypigpen  Follow Teesaan on Instagram @teesaankoo Music by @salil808  Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist   Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes.

Welcome to the horology world's ultimate watchmaking podcast network. On this episode of the Rob & The Regulator Show, Alex is joined by fellow Fifth Wrist Radio podcast hosts Roman and Michael to talk about new watch releases from brands like Seiko, Omega and Maurice Lacroix. We even throw in a small independent watchmaker just for Roman Topics The podcast starts with our standard drink and wrist checks. We don't waste too much time before we get into the latest watches released. Michael gives his own unique grumpy insight into each piece using his experience as a watchmaker for one of the world's largest watch brands. Roman shares his opinion as someone who strongly favours small independent watchmakers and tends to shy away from the larger watch brands. We talk about value in watchmaking, why locking chronograph pushers are a good thing and why limited edition watches are never actually limited. Will this be the ultimate Seiko podcast?

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: Paul @vintageseiko also known as: @seikobusters, @aussiepogueand co-founder of @two_vintage_seikos In this episode, Benoît takes a sightseeing tour of what the vintage Seiko watches have to offer to the aspiring and eager collector. He doesn’t have a clue about Seiko watches. Paul (@vintageseiko) is the perfect guide, as he walks us through his collection, his experience, some personal stories, and the vintage Seiko community. We also get to know what the perfect vintage Seiko watches are for “not so usual” watch collecting profiles. Get ready to take a very deep dive: have a pen and some paper ready to take some notes, and open an internet connection (if you can) to see the watches we talk about in this episode. It’s a long chat but don’t worry: Benoit and his dog provide an intermission, and Snow the hen is never far away to keep you entertained… Theme music by Jotunn @picodon_conan Special effects free of copyright thanks to the following websites: Zapsplat.com, fesliyanstudios.com and freesound.org.

Welcome to the Loose Screws podcast on Fifth Wrist Radio. I'm your host Bob (@brownsvillewatchguy) and on this episode my guest is Michael (@ctwatchguy). Michael is an avid and passionate Enicar collector. He also dabs in UG and Rolex but his love revolves around Saturn. On this episode we talk all things Enicar and he drops some auction site secrets to buying vintage pieces around the world. We both agreed on how the Enicar community is one of the most welcoming in the watch world. Viva Enicar! Michael wrote an article for Rescapement for those that are Eni-curious and want to venture into the brand and won’t burn a whole in your pocket, so be sure to go and give it a read. If you want to read more on Enicar go check out these sites: thespringbar.com, enicar101.com, enicarforums.com, vintageenicar.com, enicar.org We hope you enjoy this episode just as much as we did.

NSFW!!! NSFW!!! NSFW!!! Okay we warned you. Fifth Wrist Presents Popcorn…The Podcast! Your fix of pop culture and watches! This week, Charith (@charithsir), Sidd (@sidd.pad) and the man with the largest sneaker rotation Paul (@photomonk3y) are talking some real trash.  This episode has strong language, strong takes...look its just strong. Is Sidd a real Liverpool supporter? Is Wonder Woman a terrible person? Is it reasonable to buy a pair of shoes to only wear it once every 20 months? Did the PacMan take steroids? Is there workplace bullying in the Casio factory? Is killing people illegal if you are a landlord and your tenants have not paid their rent? Who is Phil Collins? They ask ALL of the hard hitting questions! They talk about Paul's experience in the world of fashion photography, what watches are worn on fashion week and the hilarious going on's in the G Shock factory in Japan. There's a rundown from some of the malarkey within the Golden Globe nominations and the epic performance in the Super Bowl. The boys then celebrate the Year of the Ox by drafting the Greatest Asian Sportspeople of all time! If you didn't know Montblanc brand ambassador Lin Dan before this, you'll be singing his praises afterwards. GOAT...that's all. Drinking game recommendations: - Every time anyone says: "We should edit that" or "I'll edit that" - Every time Paul swears - Every time Sidd says: "I haven't seen that", "Oh my god" or "I'm not touching that" - Every time Charith says: "I don't know where to go with that" or "Where are you going with this?"

On this episode of the Rob & The Regulator Show, Rob and Alex are joined by Bradley from Bradley Taylor Watchmaking. Bradley tells us a bit about his history with watches and how he got into tinkering with them from a young age. Then how a Seiko Monster ignited the passion fully, to the point where he decided to find out how to become a watchmaker. We then get into his time spent studying with friend of the show Henrik Korpela at KHWCC Watchmaking School in Le Locle Switzerland. Once he finished there he returned to Canada and worked for a company servicing high level watches including Hublot and Patek. Bradley tells us about starting a brand with his friend from watchmaking school and how it didn't work out as they hoped due to the Covid 19 pandemic. This did not diminish his desire to build another watch though. He breaks down the process of creating a watch in your own vision and the challenges that come about from wanting to have everything made to the highest standards.
