Welcome to the horology world’s ultimate watchmaking podcast network. On this episode of the Rob & The Regulator Show, Alex is joined by fellow Fifth Wrist Radio podcast hosts Roman and Michael to talk about new watch releases from brands like Seiko, Omega and Maurice Lacroix. We even throw in a small independent watchmaker just for Roman

Topics

The podcast starts with our standard drink and wrist checks. We don’t waste too much time before we get into the latest watches released. Michael gives his own unique grumpy insight into each piece using his experience as a watchmaker for one of the world’s largest watch brands. Roman shares his opinion as someone who strongly favours small independent watchmakers and tends to shy away from the larger watch brands.

We talk about value in watchmaking, why locking chronograph pushers are a good thing and why limited edition watches are never actually limited. Will this be the ultimate Seiko podcast?
