We also talk diving watches (topside vs wet diving); Mat’s personal recommendations on watches to actually dive with (he is a keen diver and underwater photographer) and just how to use a decompression table properly. So, grab you mug of kombucha or aquarium-sized glass of G&T and settle in for a great chat with an erudite and thoughtful guest. I think you’ll like this one!

Anthony (@defining_time) and Rob (@Geneva_Blue) team up for the first time to interview Swiss Watch Industry pioneer CEO of H Moser & Cie Edouard Meylan. We take a different road for this conversation and talk about being so innovative and "controversial" in the industry, do they always feel the pressure to continue pushing the boundaries with every new release and how to keep things positive when being asked very similar questions in different ways on podcasts and YouTube interviews. We then chat a bit about trust and the Pioneer Tour and what has been the result of removing "Swiss Made" from their dials. We hope this is a different interview to you are used.  We cannot thank Ed enough for always making himself available to speak with and for being so open, honest and transparent. A true gentlemen and modern day pioneer. Thank you Ed.  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.

Welcome back to the Defining Time Show, Anthony here for a very exciting conversation. Today we meet Mike Linner who is the Store Manager at Hublot Frankfurt and I ask the hard questions. Charming man that had a few things he wanted to say. We discussed the typical Hublot customer and learn that its not the stereotype we think and what makes Hublot so special to collectors. We learn a bit more about the history of the brand and the direction they are going. Sounds like there is some very exciting things to look forward to from Hublot. Following on from my previous Hublot podcast, I was excited to speak to Mike and ask some of the questions I wanted answers to. In particular, working for a brand that is largely hated by the watch community, for reasons I do not know. Catch Mike on IG @Mr_Hublotgerie and he is happy to talk and answer any questions.  Sit back, grab a whiskey, put your judgement and prejudice to the side and enjoy the show.  Our Instagram or other recommendations: Anthony: @orangewatchcollector Mike: @fiona_hublot  Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist To join our Fifth Wrist group chat, please email us at contact@fifthwrist.com and we will add you on Slack.  If you have time, please leave us a review wherever you listen to our podcast.

Michael and Rob chat with guest, John Cowley.  John is an Australian watchmaker who travelled to Neuchatel, Switzerland in 2009 to study at WOSTEP.  We planned on talking about John's watchmaking journey and get some education around anglage from Rob but we talked about so much more.  I mean, look at how big this thing is.   Our Instagram or other recommendations: John: @andy_duncan_stockmaker Rob: @watchcph Michael: @rwgreeny Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist To join our Fifth Wrist group chat, please email us at contact@fifthwrist.com and we will add you on Slack.  If you have time, please leave us a review wherever you listen to our podcast.

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. Join hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and co-host Adam (@mediumwatch) as we chat with today’s special guest – horological bibliophile and gentleman scholar Charlie (@books_on_time). Join us for an honest conversation about horological books, online watch media, erotic watches, and the importance of journalistic integrity in the world of paid luxury content. Quick warning: we will probably offend a few people in the “watch media industry” with this episode – but we tend to call BS on the problems we see. On the bright side – there are a few jokes thrown in, so you will definitely have a giggle!  Honourable shout-outs in this episode to friends of the FifthWrist podcast: Chris Alexander (@thedialartist), Christian Lass (@christian_lass), Ryan Schmidt (@wristwatchhandbook), Kiran Shekar (@kiran_shekar), and Roni Madhvani (@roni_m_29). Of course it wouldn’t be an episode of Independent Thinking, if we didn’t mention my horological hero Svend Andersen (@andersengeneve) :-) We also discuss Francesca Cartier Brickell’s book “The Cartiers” (@creatingcartier) and Mitch Greenblatt’s book “Retro Watches” (@horolovox). Get them both! Hope you enjoy this episode! Many thanks to Charlie for joining us! Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes. We read and appreciate each one!
