In this episode of Independent Thinking for @FifthWrist Radio podcast, Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Adam (@mediumwatch) discuss their 2025 horological highlights and evolutions of their personal collections over the years. They share insights on the significance of complications like perpetual calendars and the impact of tariffs on Swiss watches in 2025. Roman highlights his growing interest in pocket watches and clocks, while Adam contemplates the idea of completing his collection. We also reflect on the importance of gratitude and the evolving landscape of horology. Before the year wraps up, we also want to sincerely thank all our guests and listeners who were along for the ride, and our cohosts (@mediumwatch), Claus (@tapir_ffm), Wolfgang (@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e), Elio @the349designer and Teesaan (@teesaankoo) who also helped steer the FifthWrist podcast ship in 2025.
