In this special episode, Roman (@TimesRomanAU) sits down for a chat with one of his horological heroes and indie watchmaking royalty - master watchmaker and clockmaker Martin Braun, and a previous guest and friend of FifthWrist Scott Goldman.
Our fascinating conversation captures the intricacies of indie horology, the evolution of Martin’s horology career, and the trials and tribulations of early independent watchmaking in the 1990s and early 2000s.
We get insights into Martin’s approach to unique designs, astronomical influences in his watches, his (not positive) experience with the Frank Muller, and the current relaunch of the EOS sunrise and sunset watch. This episode is packed with rich stories and insights into the world of watchmaking, giving listeners a close-up look into the complexities and the artistry involved in creating timepieces.
The iconic Martin Braun EOS model (with customisable sunrise and sunset indicators set for the owner’s location) is now relaunched and available.
In USA, you can contact Scott directly on [email protected] or +1 3109637867 to discuss how to buy the Martin Braun EOS now! It is a MAGICAL WATCH!!
Outside North America, you can also check out the Schaumburg Watch website for details.

Today we discuss "restomodding" -- the art of creating working watches using both vintage and modern parts. So, for all the folks with grandpa's old watch sitting unused in a drawer, this episode is for you!
I'm joined by modder David from secondhandmods.com, and Brigham, a fellow modder from the BSH (iykyk).
This episode was born from discussions around my Vintage Linen Dial mod, which was an unexpected hit. You can see modded watch here.
Brigham also discusses his experience modding outside the world Seiko, which is quite rare! Thanks for educating us Brigham!

On a very special day, 1st Sep 2023, in a very special place, La Chaux-de-Fonds, a Fifth Wrist party was being had. The Defining Time Show (Back from the dead for 1 episode) was recorded, sitting around a table amongst friends at the Maison ochs und junior. Hence why you can hear the rawness of the track and I do apologise for some of the background noises.
It was a fabulous evening full of great food, wine, beer, laughter and friends enjoying each others company after meeting in person for the first time. This was also the night the world came to learn about the now world famous Chick-Lip. We were blown away by Benoit's project and generosity.
A huge thank you to ochs und junior for hosting a lovely event that allowed us to all be together and see the beautiful Maison. We are truly grateful for your hospitality. Thank you also to Claus for bringing the podcast gear and editing the track.
Here is the list of colourful characters who attended the event.
Claus
Wolfgang
Benoit
Elio
Phil
Jake
Anthony
Bernd
Also joining us was Leonard and Alice. Check out his amazing Butterfly watch he built at watch school. Find him here @Leonard_widmer
Thank you so much to everyone involved with Fifth Wrist. It was clear to see what a wonderful global community that has been created. I don't know how to write show notes anymore to Alex will probably hate this but he can edit it if he wants.
Thanks everyone, and for everyone else, stay on time!

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio.
This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology.
In this episode we welcome a return guest, Australian independent watchmaker Reuben Schoots (@reubenschoots).
Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Reuben sit down for a chat about Reubenâs journey since his last visit with us in 2021, the completion of his first series of watches and now the launch of his new watch - âSeries Twoâ.
Join us for a fun conversation about Reubenâs journey into establishing his watchmaking business, the challenges of updating workshop equipment to match the growing ambition; finishing the "Series One" in his workshop and now kicking on to the new challenge of "Series Two".
Along the way, Reuben shares his insights on âSeries Twoâ and reflections on the sold-out âSeries Oneâ. We also talk about Reubenâs feelings on seeing one of his watches hit the auction market on Loupe This; CNC; making parts; finding customers; connecting with collectors and finding uniques horological finishes and decorations. We even have time to chat about Reuben's other passion - amateur hill climb car racing and car building.
Itâs a really fun conversation ! Hope you enjoy it too.
