On this episode of OverTime: The Podcast, Praka and James sit down with Florian, the mind behind Audoin Watches. Operating as a true one-man band out of Berlin, Florian handles everything from the initial paper sketch and 3D modeling, prototyping, sourcing, assembly and testing.

We get into how his background at Mercedes-Benz and a love for vintage automotive instruments inspired his design language, the steep learning curve of teaching himself 3D design on YouTube, and the immense freedom (and headaches) of a small-batch, independent approach. Plus, we get a close-up look at the striking architecture of his latest creation, the Stromlinie.

In this episode, to commemorate the NBA Playoffs; Praka invites 2 of his fellow Basketball and Watch Enthusiasts from the OverTime Perth Crew to do an NBA styled draft for a microbrand and independent watches!

In this episode, Praka & James get into some watch psychology! Drop culture (sneakers, watches and other luxury consumer products) are increasingly commonplace. Why does our heart rate spike when a countdown for a new release is nearing zero? We thought this would be a great episode to explore the behavioural economics of limited runs and why the ‘hunt’ is more addictive and satisfying than the actual product itself.

Wristchecks:

James: Hamilton Jazzmaster Traveler GMT 2 / Erebus Ascent Black Helix

Praka: Farasute Mechanical Dress Watch

Points Discussed:

We break down the Amygdala Hijack to explain why countdown timers shut down your logic and trigger a primal "survival mode" response. You’ll learn how Loss Aversion makes the sting of a "Sold Out" screen hurt far more than the joy of an "Order Confirmed" email, and we compare the high-speed adrenaline of Microbrand Drops to the slow-burn psychological warfare of the Rolex Waitlist. Finally, we debate the "Scarcity Duel"—is it more effective to limit the total number of watches or the window of time we have to buy them?

Some Recent Examples:

Kurono Tokyo: The Divers

Studio Underd0g: Guava (British Watchmakers Day)

Something Interesting

James chats his new purchase a bag to store all his camera and recording gear for his upcoming trip to Melbourne! Praka discusses how he was enjoying rewatching Avatar the Last Airbender with his son and excited for the new season of Avatar the Netflix live action series too!

Episode Summary

In this episode of the OverTime: The Podcast, James and Praka get into a spontaneous watch Q&A thanks to the OverTime Crew over on Instagram, covering everything from the current state of microbrand watches to the reality of joining the watch community through groups like RedBar. Answers included sharing essential watch collecting tips for newbies—including how to avoid common mistakes and smart strategies for saving for a watch. Very much another on the fly episode with no preparation at all for the answers! Thanks again to the OverTime: The Podcast Crew for the Questions!

Praka was getting some FOMO from seeing all the cool one-off special editions and releases being announced for the British Watchmakers Day 2026, so we decided that we should choose our top 3 picks!

Wristcheck

James is sporting the Hz.02 / Hz.01 for a full HZ Double Wrist, while Praka is wearing the Angles Disc One.

Our Picks

Praka’s Top 3: Praka’s selection features the Fears Brunswick 40 1846 Edition, followed by the Vertex M36 Desert Edition—which, while not strictly a release for BWD 26, was recently announced and will be showcased at the event. His final pick is the Apiar Gen 1.1 Underground.

James’s Top 3: James went with the MONRO Lost in Space, the Isotope OVNI Jumping Hour (Founders Edition), and the Clemence Munro.

Something Interesting

James discussed the wonder of his new solar and battery system and taking advantages of the West Australian Sun (sorry UK fans!).

Praka discussed Alison Moriarty of Moriarty Watches. Based in the heart of beautiful County Clare, Alison Moriarty has literally kiln-fired her reputation as a master of the art of enamels. Her stunning enamel dials, such as the Hibernia, are true showstoppers that capture the soft natural tones of the countryside surrounding her studio in Ireland.

We also touch on quick-release spring bars and why investing in quality tools can prevent scratches and damage.

In this episode of OverTime: The Podcast, Praka sits down with Kenny and Raf, the founders of ZLTD Watches, to unpack their journey as an independent watch brand operating across Singapore and Canada.

Episode Summary

The trio dive into the origins of ZLTD, from the passion-driven Series 1 through to the refined Series 1.5 and a deep look at the technically ambitious upcoming Series 2. Kenny and Raf share insights into in-house manufacturing, CNC machining, movement innovation, and the realities of maintaining quality while scaling production across time zones. The conversation also touches on design philosophy, pricing strategy, the importance of high-quality straps, and how ZLTD balances complexity with timeless aesthetics, while staying grounded through special projects and charitable initiatives.

In this episode of OverTime: The Podcast, Praka is joined by Grant from Glasgow, founder of the WristTrack App — a clever and intuitive app that allows collectors to track their watch collections and usage statistics. Grant shares his journey into watch collecting, how his tastes evolved over time, and what ultimately inspired him to build and release WristTrack to the wider watch community. As expected, the conversation naturally drifts into general watch chatter, with plenty of love given to the wonderful world of microbrands.
