Today the European Fifthwrist Watch Gang have a star guest from far away as it gets from Europe … Australia! 

He is a world famous watch podcast host, a lover of and specialist for independent watchmaking, member of the British Horological Society, poster of the most hilarious dirty instagram posts … and many more …

And he was born in Europe. 

This is all about getting to know Roman, the host of the great Independent Thinking Show better.

This is a quite long podcast, we start with a lot of personal stuff because we want to know as much about Roman as possible … and/but you also learn a lot (maybe mow than you want) about the rest of the European gang.

And yes. there will be a lot of watch content, too!
(«watches only content» will start just after 2 hours)

 

So what can the listeners expect today: 

We have two main themes in issue #5: 

• one is obviously Roman the destroyer
• the other is  – as this is such an international, global show today – «languages»:
  from short stories printed on dials, deserted rehauts and lots of languages used by the watch industry

In addition 

• we will have a rant today, too and 
• we will have a «watch focus»: today a swiss watch from a french guy with a german name, the new Dietrich skin diver
  https://monochrome-watches.com/dietrich-sd-1-skin-diver/

 

What you will learn from this podcast (amongst others): 

• how french guys will treat german white wines
• what the belarussian brand Luch means to Germans (Parental Advisory)
• what is the common theme between divorces and Rolex
• how obscene the hands of a watch can be (Parental Advisory)
