The European Gang Talks Watches

Five enthusiasts from four countries, three(and a half) languages, two currencies and one passion.

A couple of eager european guys from the global and glorious fifthwrist-family meet to talk watches.

The subject from which they deviate all the time is:

can non-european watches be any good?

If you listen to what Phil, Benoît, Wolfgang, Claus and their guest from Cologne, Jan

(@pippy, @petitsecondes, @w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e, @tapir_ffm and @between_the_lugs)

have to say, you will – amongst others – learn:

> that you can successfully run a great and vivid podcast about vintage watches without knowing much about them

> why the parallax error is important

> which new useless complication will be ruling the watch market anytime soon

> the difference between Brian and Boris Johnson

and …

> serious watch stuff, too

(And they eventually manage to earn an «explicit»-labelling for that podcast.)
