watches were my first love
and they will be my last
watches of the future
and watches of the past
Detailed show notes have been available in the past and will be available in the future.
For now we only have four geeks taking about watches of the past and the future.

Fifth Wrist Radio «Dubbed»: Laurent Ferrier
In this episode of the ‘Independent Thinking Show’ for @FifthWrist Radio, we’re talking to the legendary Laurent Ferrier from … well … Laurent Ferrier
We’re chatting about the past, the present and a little about the future of this brand, which is as young as it is legendary.
Laurent is not that confident with English, but we are fortunate enough to have David Chang from the Horological Society of New York on board, who actually is a native speaker of French.
We have subsequently dubbed this with English voice-overs to make it available to a broader audience. The voice of Laurent is spoken by Adam – @mediumwatch – you know him as one of the co-hosts of «Fifth Wrist Independent Thinking»
