- EP 15: IT'S ALIVE! (Frankenstein Watch Making)
Episode Recorded on: 23rd February 2022.
*queue eerie music you'd hear if you walked into a scary mansion with thunder playing* WELCOME TO OUR SPOOKY LAB! In today's episode we are creating our very own watch, taken different elements from other watch brands and merging them together to create our first "Masterpiece". Each of us had 2 elements from: Case, Bezel, Chapter Ring, Strap, Dial, Markers, Hands and Complications (Movement). We didn't tell each other at all what ideas we were individually thinking of, so who knows what we were going to create!

Doxa paved the way with a hip new trend of orange dials, so we set a challenge for the team to find other watch brands to tackle the orange dial hype. We soon found that simply searching ‘Orange Dials’ Doxa flooded the results, so we had to dig deep. There may be a lot of blood sweat and tears in this episode, so strap your self in, and come along for this wacky orange adventure.

About Small Seconds Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Four friends who were spending 90% of their time chatting about watches to anyone that would (or wouldn’t) listen. They’ve chosen instead to record this podcast and give people the option to hear…
about just how good the F-91w is, or how the small second dial isn’t actually a complication, and many other important topics. Aside from pure horological passion, expect many slip ups, guesses and probably a fair amount of swearing (sorry mum).
