Anthony and Vinnie together again on the Defining Time Show to chat with friend of the show, daily contributor to our SLACK group, fifth wrist watch reviewer and all round legend, Benoit (@petitesecondes).

This is a good one, we discuss some of the historical significance of ETA and how the big brands can thank ETA for enabling some of the greatest watches and brands of all time. Some of us admit to the time in our collecting years of being an IN-HOUSE snob and how that mindset has changed over the later years. 

THEN WE GO TO BATTLE. The challenge was set, each of us to pick three watches, one in each category, less than 1k, 5k and 10k. It was so much fun and while none of us picked the same watches, there were some very interesting similarities in the 10k category.

Rob & The Regulator are guestless and fancy free as they talk about watch locks, the dangers of yes men, fine wines, impersonating a police officer and Rob delves into another one of his drawers (as requested by JP_melbs).

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!
