Welcome to Driving Time, a podcast where horology meets the automotive world. Join Tom and Teesaan as they stumble their way through cars and watches and everything in between. This episode we have on Irwin (@grandobsessions) who is a member of our local Melbourne Watch Community and Porsche Community who enjoys all things art and design. We were also joined by Stephen who is a long-time Porschephile and a beginner to the watch game.
Apologies for the background noise to those of you that care as you maybe able to tell this was filmed on my Mic and Laptop sitting on a table with the 4 of us huddle around it hence the sound of glasses banging on the table constantly, drinks being made as well as the sounds of me typing and clicking away on the mouse
Pippy please keep listening to about the 2 hours and 30 mins mark

About us
Fifth Wrist and Fifth Wrist Radio are both community run projects. Designed to serve the watch enthusiast community. We reject all forms of outside watch brand intervention and take no money, watches or goods from watch companies.

The future direction of the website and podcasts are driven by the people who take part in this project. To join the action and get involved why not get started by reviewing one of your own watches at fifthwrist.com/write-review.
