Independent thinking

There are two types of horological journalists: those who sing praises to $wiss MegaBrand$ for a living, and those who actually understand and appreciate watchmaking; who write, blog and podcast for pleasure, like our host Roman:

"In my opinion, 95% of all watches currently produced are NOT INTERESTING or WORTH COLLECTING. They are churned out by huge corporations run by MBA’s who have ZERO interest or love for horology. It is not the way forward for the Swiss watch industry (at least in my mind).

What inspires me are the independent artisans from around the world, who produce INTERESTING, INCREDIBLE, INDIVIDUAL and IRRESISTIBLE pieces (often in small production numbers or by commission). My experience has been that those timepieces show us are where the passion, value and curiosity can combine for a magical journey." 


When Roman and Alex summoned Josh and myself for an interview, we knew that we were up for some fun. The end result: two hours of raw and uncut horology, for your enjoyment.
