Independent Thinking - Allen Farmelo (@beyond.the.dial); Watches, Motorcycles, Tanks and the Aesthetic Revolution
from Fifth Wrist Radio · host Fifth Wrist
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. Conversation between Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and our guest - the journalist, podcaster, motorcycling fanatic and poultry fancier, Allen Farmelo (@beyond.the.dial); host of the brilliant Beyond The Dial podcast. Join us for a passionate and honest conversation about authenticity; pitfalls of marketing; the watch media landscape; our approaches to communicating about horology; NAZI watches; Ducati motorcycles; Cartier Tanks; Andy Warhol; Walt Odets; and our mutual fascination with all things horological. We also discuss Allen’s first watch release with Alsta Watches - the ALSTA X BTD MOTOSCAPHE 120. Allen deconstructs the concept, inspiration and design of this watch, and just why you should totally get one (obviously, a fully unbiassed opinion here!) I have been a huge fan of Allen’s work at @beyond.the.dial, and I am sure once you hear this episode - you will be a convert too. Honestly, this episode was a huge blast! A bit of a language warning on this one - Enjoy! Special shout out in this one to our mutual friend Gary Shteyngart (@shteyngart) and a couple of special chickens (Snow @petitesecondes) and the late lamented Claude! Check out Allen’s website beyondthedial.com, Instagram @beyond.the.dial and the Beyond The Dial podcast. The Beyond The Dial Watch is available from ALSTA X BTD MOTOSCAPHE 120 website. Stay on Time! …And Remember. The Aesthetic Revolution will be beautiful!
