IT - with Independent Watchmaker Josh Hacko
from Fifth Wrist Radio · host Fifth Wrist
Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. Join hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and our resident troublemaker Alex (@thewatchregulator), as we chat with today’s special guest Josh Hacko (@nicholashackowatch) – a 4th generation Australian watchmaker based in Sydney. Join us for an honest conversation about the challenges of being an independent watchmaker on the ‘wrong side’ of the Swiss Alps; the joys of making watches in Australia, Timascus (it will blow your mind); and just how special it is to meet a family of watchmakers passionate and committed to the craft. We would like to thank Josh for speaking with us with such openness and candour. And if this episode does not make you angry about big brands and their seedy tactics of cutting supply of parts to independent watch repairers – contact me directly for a firm chat. (apologies for Roman’s audio being a bit below par. New microphone is on order). Hope you enjoy this episode! A special shout-out to a good friend of the podcast (@jnshapiro_watches) about 34 minutes into the show. Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes.
