Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. Join Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and today’s special guest – Mat (@the_watchnerd), as we discuss building online watch communities; food critics and applying analytical thinking to watches; horological scholarship; museums, Antiquarian Horological Society and the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers. We also talk diving watches (topside vs wet diving); Mat’s personal recommendations on watches to actually dive with (he is a keen diver and underwater photographer) and just how to use a decompression table properly. So, grab your mug of kombucha or aquarium-sized glass of G&T and settle in for a great chat with an erudite and thoughtful guest. I think you’ll like this one!
