How does a mechanical watch put out good vibes to the universe with every passing second? Listen in to the latest episode to find out! Our guest is the charming CEO of Sherpa Watches, Martin Klocke. I met Martin recently at Geneve Watch Days and the brand made quite an impression. Capturing authentic vintage vibes with superbly well executed dials in a true "Super-Compressor" case, the Sherpa line strikes quite a chord with a unique identity as a micro-brand out of Germany.

Listen in as we hear the full story of the inspiration behind this storied historical watch, first unveiled by Enicar in 1956 following a Swiss Expedition to Mt Everest. Enicar's SeaPearl watches proved to be incredibly reliable and suitable for extreme environments both deep underwater and as high as mankind would dare to explore, leading to the Sherpa rebranding. Martin shares with us his personal story of discovery of the famed Sherpa watches and his fascination with the 70 year old watches.

Today's faithful recreations provided many challenges to produce. It is wonderful to hear Martin talk about the production of the modern pieces and the technical brilliance of the original concept combined with further refinements. Only producing approximately 100 watches per year, today's Sherpa is a rare example of a passion project that celebrates technical brilliance, distinctive visual appeal and the rare achievement of faithfully respecting an original design with proportions that prove to be timeless. Combine all this with the world's first "Mantramatic" watch and there is far more than meets the eye with this incredibly compelling and fascinating wristwatch for the ages.
