Hi Watch Fam,

Thank you for keeping time with us.

A bumper drop this month (jump hour-long!) - our in-depth interview with David of The Strap Tailor fame:

• Find out what curious and extraordinary strap requests he gets (14mins, 40 seconds)
• The celebs request for his wares (31mins, 31 seconds), and
• What strap trends he predicts will take off this year and next. (21mins, 16 seconds). Listen to the full interview from 6mins 29 seconds.
• Coincidentally, we move to a new anatomy of a watch - the leather strap (35mins, 50 seconds)

Listen to why Tim thinks Oris are a ’t-shirt gun of ideas’ and why he loves the brand (49min, 47 seconds)

Our mainstay ‘favourite shots in Instagram’ is back:

• Shout out to watch4lyfe.id and their Rolex OP Ref 1500 Champagne dial;
• yuu.sekiguchi’s artistic silhouette of a Tank;
• Rocco_vitale and his excellent macro of Cartier’s cabochon; and
• Finally Zeitpassion’s Japanese flag inspired Nomos Tangent - Toki. (1min 28 seconds)

And we tell the internet the watches we are lusting after this month - Tim goes for the Universal Geneve Tricompax and blames Markthetime’s superb collection, Zac names a vintage Rolex OP and the 1601 DateJust. (4min 24 seconds)
