DTS - with Independent Watchmaker Josh Shapiro
Welcome to the horology world's ultimate watchmaking podcast network. On this episode of the Defining Time Show, Roman makes a reappearance to join me in a conversation with none other than watchmaker Josh Shapiro of JN Shapiro Watches. If you are not familiar with Josh's work you need to check it out. Beautiful engine turned dials that are up there with the best in the world.
Topics
A true craftsman who has perfected his craft and expanding his skills. Josh talks with us about his road to perfecting his craft and Roman has recently purchased a JN Shapiro watch so I thought it would be good to get him on with Josh to talk about the fun bits and challenges when commissioning a piece and how the process works. Josh's passion for what he does shines through as I thought it would. We also chat about the state of the industry from an independent's point of view and it's safe to say he has an opinion and it's worth listening to. Loads of fun and thank you to Josh for being a great sport and taking the time to talk.

DTS - with Independent Watch Collector Roman. Part 2
In part two Roman's passions and opinions are back! We discuss some of his favourite watches and independent watchmakers in his collection and we get Roman's take on watches/watchmakers to keep and eye on as well as some of the watches Roman regrets selling. Is "in-house worth it? That was the discussion. Once again, this was a cracker, thank you Roman for joining Fifth Wrist Radio and for giving us many different points of view and definitely things to think about. Sit back, relax, grab a whiskey, smoke a cigar, have a bath, put your feet up and enjoy the show! Roman recommends reading Ryan Schmidt's "The Wristwatch Hand Book".

We talk about brands you may or may not have heard of and how Roman ended up at a special dinner and membership with the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers in London. Its a cracker story you'll enjoy. Roman is a passionate collector and genuine enthusiast, thank you for taking the time to talk with me. Grab a whiskey, sit back and enjoy the show.

DTS - with Independent Watchmaker Schon Horology
Anthony is joined by Ian Schon from Schon Horology and Schon DSGN to talk about his journey to becoming a watchmaker and pen manufacturer. We talk about the trials and tribulations of creating his business and go deep into the design elements of The Dot Cardinal and Prismatic. It's a cool conversation for people who appreciate art, design and manufacturing. Ian's products will stand the test of time and will be passed on for generations to come with a story that comes with each item. It was great to hear his story and we can't thank Ian enough for taking the time.
Check out the YouTube clip for his watches. Schon Horology: The Art of Watchmaking
