On this episode of OverTime: The Podcast, Praka and James pack up the studio gear and head out into the wild! We are live on the ground at the inaugural Wandering Hours Watch Fair 2026 right here in Perth, Western Australia! Brought to life by the legends at WatchPoint, Time Only, and Time & Tide, this show was a massive moment for the West Australian watch community. We caught up with local collectors, got hands-on with some incredible independent pieces, and even sat down with brand owners who made the trip out.The hall was packed out with heavy hitters from the microbrand and independent space. Here is a quick breakdown of who was in the room:The Traveling Heavyweights: Sinn, Formex, Vario, RZE, Damasko, Tutima, Ocean to Orbit, Christopher Ward, Baltic, Hz Watches, Orient, Hanhart, Selten, Monbrey, Nivada Grenchen, Awake, Norqain and many more.From Our Own Backyard: Houtman Watches (Perth's very own!), Artisan Straps (Sydney) The International Guests: Feynman Timekeepers, all the way from Singapore (an absolute treat to have the brand owners live on-site!).Instead of our usual sit-down studio chat, Praka took the mic to the floor to chat with the enthusiasts and curious minds roaming the show. We hit them with two simple questions:What is currently on your wrist today?What is your absolute favorite watch brand?We got some incredibly diverse, surprising, and downright interesting answers from the local Perth crew!Since this was our first major out-of-studio video episode, we want to hear from you.
