Fifth Wrist Radio

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.

This week we have something truly special and unique. We interview Dr. Oechslin, one of the most gifted watchmakers of our time. Would you like to know what Dr. Oechslin's favourite watch is? And what «freaky» project he is currently working on? Or why it can sometimes be good to drop out of university? Adam, @mediumwatch,  and Claus, @tapir_ffm, ask Dr. Oechslin questions they've always wanted to know. The interview took place in a hotel in Biel between Dr. Oechslin and Claus (Marc Bernhard, friend of the show and the CEO of ochs und junior at the time, was present too) and has later been translated by @its.claraaa and Adam.   Voices: Adam @mediumwatch: (Dr. Oechslin) Anthony, @defining_time: (Marc)  and Claus playing himself, (Claus) @tapir_ffm  Fifth Wrist would like to specially thank all who was involved to make this truly unique podcast possible.  We hope you enjoy this episode just as much as we did.
