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.)
