The Time 4A Pint Podcast

by Time 4A Pint

The global watch industry produces an estimated 1.2 billion units a year. With around, 7.5 billion people on the planet, that means that over a 6 and a half year period, enough are made for every one of us to go out and buy a brand new watch of our own. In reality, that’s not what happens. For starters, just because all these watches are being churned out, doesn't mean that anyone is actually buying them. Lots of people can’t understand why you would spend money on a wrist watch. After all, with just a couple of taps, your mobile phone can tell you what the time is anywhere in the world - and you can catch Pokemon on it. You can’t do that with a watch. On the other hand, for some people, one watch isn’t enough. There are those among us that hunt out, capture, collect, catalogue, and show off their watches to others who share the same passion. On internet forums, Instagram, and even at in person meetups. For those who collect, watches are kind of like Pokemon, they’ve got to catch them all. And that’s what this show is all about. Watch collectors. Not Pokemon.

15: The Super Long Sunday Session with Mike from Fratello Watches

2h 15m · Published 21 Jul 00:00

Welcome to Episode 15 of the Time 4A Pint podcast - this week we sat down with Mike Stockton, from Fratello watches, to talk about being a (part time) watch journalist, and a full time watch nerd. Mike has a enviable collection of interesting watches, but to keep things under control we made him choose 7 to bring along - a 1980 Rolex GMT Master Root Beer a.k.a "The Clint Eastwood" (although we think "Miami Vice" would be a better nickname!), a Grand Seiko SBGW047, a Gallet Multichron 12, a Breitling 756 Co-Pilot, an Enicar Sherpa Graph Mk1b, a 1965 Seiko 62Mas 6127, and a Heuer Camero. If you're interested in the BCatt Watchstraps that Mike has fitted to his Breitling 765 Co-Pilot, and Enicar Sherpa Graph Mk1B, and would like to see more of Ben's work, or find out how to order, you can check out his Instagram Page.
