Please go and give him a follow on instagram if you are interested in watchmaking and watches, it is very educational. Also consider getting a copy of his.

This week, Anthony (@defining_time) and Alex (@thewatchregulator) are back in the seat like the good old days of January 2020. Those days were simple, no global pandemic, no lockdowns and no idea what we were doing. The boys are joined by one of the biggest personalities to ever grace a brand, we welcomed Peter Borghouts the MD of Oris Australia (@cutfingers1). This was recorded on the day the new calibre was released but there was chat about the embargoed new watch so we wanted to wait until the watch was released with the new calibre to publish the episode. You will hear some talk about things to be cut out but we left them there. We talk about the new in-house Calibre 400 from Oris and the first watch to wear the badge of honour proud. There's laughs, knives, watches, pens and an out of this world Rolex dad joke. We'd like to thank Peter for bringing his true self to the table as we knew he would, for making us laugh and showing other brands how you should go about being a rock star!  Our Instagram or other recommendations:  Peter: @glenn.waters Anthony: @orisbear (Oris Local Heroes) Alex: @justonemorewatch We hope you enjoy this episode just as much as we did.  Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist To join our crew group chat then please email us at contact@fifthwrist.com and if you have time please leave us a review wherever you listen to our podcast.
