DTS - Hublot special with @Dr3ws
Another episode of the Defining Time Show on FifthWrist Radio. Join hosts Anthony (@defining_time) and FifthWrist founder Alex (@thewatchregulator) as we chat with today’s special guest Andrew (@dr3ws) – about the communities sheer hate for Hublot. We discuss why this is the case, but also why this shouldn't be the case and would we have all the lightweight, rubber strap sports watches we all love if it wasn't for Hublot and their innovative FUSION and BIG BANG. Controversial, yes, offensive, maybe, and plain old honest watch talk. We won't put too much more in the show notes because we don't want to spoil the show. We battle against each other with a Hublot each under 10k, 20k and no limit. Listen to the end because there is a special announcement for Fifth Wrist and join the conversation (#fifthwristradio) on @defining_time's instagram post. Hope you enjoy this episode! Thank you to Andrew for joining us for the conversation and battle.

IT - Independent Watches and Veblen Goods
Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio.
Join hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and a FifthWrist alumnus Adam (@mediumwatch) as we chat with today’s special guest Victor (“Last Name Unknown”) – about collecting indie watches, economics of luxury goods and just why totalitarian leaders are great wristwatch influencers to a generation of young affluent guys.
Join us for a conversation about Devon Works, Ressence, Veblen goods and Vladimir Putin (seriously – you will be surprised how they all fit together!)
We discuss why Vacheron doesn’t sell well in China these days but Hublot does; marketing strategies in the East/West; and just how to view watch collecting through an economist’s loupe!
Great chat with a couple of great and thoughtful gents who happen to be watch collectors and economists. The odd seagulls also drops by for a chirp.
Honestly – no calculators needed for this one! Just open minds.
Hope you enjoy this episode! A special shout-out to good friend of the podcast (@jnshapiro_watches) about 5 minutes in; and Max Busser (@maxbusser) about 48 minutes in.
