Roman (@TimesRomanAU) hosts Josh Blank from Papar Watches (@paparwatches) on the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio podcast.

We discuss Josh's transition from a corporate lawyer and tech startup founder to co-launching an independent watch brand with his wife, Emily.

The conversation covers the design inspirations of the Anillo Sector dial GMT, including influences from Mexico's brutalist architecture and paper folding, and the excitement of launching steel and rose gold PVD models.

Josh shares insights into the challenges and rewards of creating a new watch brand, the importance of creating accessible yet innovative timepieces, and the significance of enthusiast community engagement .
