For episode 63 of the Time 4A Pint Podcast, I got together with Toronto based Justin Mastine-Frost. Outgoing editor in chief of watchuseek.com and fitrated.com, and brand new Director of Digital Content for Sharp Magazine, Canada’s foremost luxury publication.
Justin and I first got to hang out in November of 2020, when he and fellow guest Aldis Hodge joined me and Mat for our 15th Virtual GTG (which you can check out on YouTube). Justin was not messing about that day, and brought some serious horological heat, in the form of an Arnold and Son Nebula.
Which as anyone who’s scrolled through Justin’s Instagram account will tell you, is just one fascinating piece in a hugely varied collection that spans high end to affordable, and mainstream to independent.
I had no idea what Justin was going to bring along today, but I knew that whatever it was, it would be interesting. And colourful. Or grey. Or both. You can find pictures and reference numbers of all the watches that we talked about on the Time 4A Pint website.

For episode 62 of the Time 4A Pint Podcast, I got together with fellow talkative Englishman, and pathological contrarian, Phil Toledano. Who you may know from Instagram as Mister Enthusiast. The topics we covered were many and varied. Including, but not limited to: buying and maintaining group B rally cars, ram raids, Vietnam era pilot’s helmets, the joy of putting your kid’s face onto plates, pillows, and tote bags, how weird and wonderful it is to be a Dad, Birman cats, Mr Frumples the dog, great TV Shows we’re currently watching, the Jaguar XJ220, running a lifestyle clothing brand, watch sausage parties, how instagram can be a rather dull unimaginative echo chamber, turning Rolexes into art, collecting Patek’s from the 70s, buying the things that you really like, and the importance of a test tube filled with oil. These intro’s are getting weirder aren’t they?

For episode 61 of the Time 4A Pint Podcast, I got together with nomadic Irishman, and owner of Brooklyn’s Iona Bar, Victor Boyd, who you may know from Instagram, as PapillonVic.
We talked about buying Rolex Submariners for £295, working in high end restaurants in London and Paris and opening one in Manhattan, selling an entire collection to pay the bills when the world changed on September 11, and starting over in Brooklyn with a very cool neighbourhood bar called Iona. Diving with watches, changing beer barrels with watches, buying vintage, meeting independents, and being tipped off to a spectacularly uncommon, and tough as nails JLC by a former NFL player.
There is a lot going on in this episode.
So grab your headphones, pour yourself a drink that is time-of-day appropriate, and enjoy. You can find pictures and reference numbers of all the watches that we talked about on the Time 4A Pint website.

For episode 60 of the Time 4A Pint Podcast, I got together with Portobello Road based watch dealer, and fellow fan of odd horology, Josh Rogers.
We talked about how the trade has changed in the last 10 years, the weird and wonderful things that wander in off the Portobello Road, keyboard warriors and Omega cross hairs, impulse purchases in French Flea markets, buying a new stainless steel Rolex at retail, and our shared fondness for quirky and often unloved timepieces.

Born in Leningrad in 1972, Gary moved to New York at the age of 7.

This very special edition of the Time 4A Pint podcast is all about mens health, and the role that Movember plays in helping to improve it through funding research and some amazing charitable organisations. Sticking to the tried and tested Time 4A Pint formula, I got together with people who know what they’re talking about, and asked them lots of questions about the importance of growing a mo to save a bro. Steff Webb, Community Fundraising Manager at Movember took me through the how, what, why, when and where of the Movember Foundation - from beginning to present day. Shedding light on how the foundation works, what you can do to get involved, and importantly what the money raised from moustaches, moving, and mo-ing your own way, goes into. Bobby Bansal joined me to talk about his balls. Starting with an eye watering story about connecting them with the crossbar of his bicycle, and culminating with him having testicular cancer twice, and not only living to tell the tale, but doing so in front of large groups of lads, and laughing about it.
Elvin Box is a prostate cancer survivor who pulled no punches in sharing his story from PSA test to surgery and beyond. A hard conversation, and a tough listen, that could help you spot the signs of prostate problems early. James Mace is a mental health advocate, who has experienced more than his share of grief, and with the help of those around him pulled through, and gone on to help others. The big takeaways from this conversation are that it is important to keep talking, everyone goes through tough times, and that as a friend, listening and being supportive are sometimes the very best things you can do.
When this episode aired in 2020, listeners had the chance to win my 2019 Oris Chronoris Movember Edition, and a copy of Flores Delores and the Oris Chronoris signed by Barbara Palumbo. The raffle for these wonderful goodies raised more than £10,000 for Movember, and was won by a chap called Stuart, in the USA.
