In this episode of Independent Thinking for ⁠⁠@FifthWrist ⁠⁠Radio podcast, Roman (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TimesRomanAU⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) and Adam (⁠⁠@mediumwatch⁠⁠) host Daryn Schnipper, Chairman Emeritus of Sotheby’s International Watch Division.

We discuss Daryn’s incredible and influential career in the auction world, some of the important and history-making sales Daryn has been instrumental in, and her collaboration with (previous guest and friend of podcast) Alex Barter on the “500 Years, 100 Watches” book documenting some of the most important timepieces throughout history.

Daryn is generous in sharing her approach to scholarship, valuing watches, rarity, and meaningful technical or historical context, and distinguishing rare from merely obscure.

Daryn also recounts scholarship-driven projects like the Time Museum Sales, The Henry Graves Supercomplication and The Olmsted Collection, and reflect on relationship-building with collectors, the emotional side of consignments, market behavior during crises, lead times for auctions, and advice to collectors to set focused criteria and goals.

Make sure to get a copy of Daryn and Alex's terrific book: "500 Years, 100 watches" and check out Sotheby's latest auctions.

In this episode of the Independent Thinking Show for ⁠⁠@FifthWrist⁠⁠ Radio, Roman (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TimesRomanAU⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) is joined by author Mitch Katz (@uniquelyprototype) to discuss his new mystery novel “Time Eternal”.
We discuss Mitch’s previous horology collecting memor ("Time on My Hands": and his debut murder-mystery novel Time Eternal.
“Time Eternal” centers on a fictional Southern California watchmaker who invents an “eternal winding” movement powered by temperature changes and intends to release it open-source, prompting Swiss corporate intrigue and murders.

It is a perfect blend of horology, mystery, inspiration and a glance into Swiss watch industry!

This open and honest conversation traces Julli’s discovery of watchmaking and training in Finland, as well as the passion and unique philosophy behind Reigi Watches.

Julli takes inspiration from martial arts (MMA) to watchmaking through discipline, humility, and continual learning.Along the way, we talk tattoos (Julli has a great one!), family, honesty, donating portions of sales to meaningful causes, and the meaning of “Regi” (respect and integrity).Make sure to check out Reigi Watches on @reigi_timepieces and www.reigi.fi
