    Yuen & The Y-01 Nascence: An Engineer's Approach to Microbrands

    Welcome back to another episode of OverTime the Podcast! This week, Praka and James sat down with Ong, the mind behind Yuen, to talk about his journey into the watch world and the launch of their inaugural collection. Wristchecks: Ong: Yuen Y-01 Prototype James: Minase 5 Window / Houtman Pilbara Rock Praka: Smiths PRS-59 WWW Ong is a mechanical engineer by training who channeled his passion for unique dials and materials into founding Yuen. His debut collection, the Y-01 起源 "Nascence", reflects this blend of collector philosophy and technical expertise. The Y-01 is an automatic dress watch featuring an intricate, fumé-finished dial handmade from high-grade abalone shell tiles in a repeating "Y" mosaic pattern. Built with double lug holes for versatile strap pairings and a unique cornes de vache silhouette, the collection launched in six vibrant colors across mid-2026. Operating on a transparent pre-order model to fund production directly, the watch is available at an all-inclusive price of $888 USD (covering shipping, taxes, and duties via DDP) before locking at MSRP. Rather than relying on industry-standard monobloc or welded cases to create his organically curved lugs —which may suffer from structural warping, polishing issues, or high failure rates—Ong designed a Modular Case Architecture. By machining all four lugs onto a separate baseplate that is screwed directly to the midsection and secured by the caseback, he is able to achieve the lug construction whilst also allow him to create alternating brushed/polished finishes with ease. Dimensions: 39.0 mm diameter | 46.0 mm lug-to-lug | 9.9 mm thickness | 20 mm lug width Movement: Miyota 9039 automatic Crystal: EU double-domed sapphire Water Resistance: 10 atm (100 m) Connect with Yuen: You can explore the full collection and follow their journey through the links below: Website: Visit the ⁠Official Yuen Website⁠. Keep an eye out as they plan to populate their Blog section soon for a deep dive into their design process and behind-the-scenes content. Socials: Follow their journey on the ⁠Yuen Official Instagram⁠. Something Interesting Section: Ong: Loving the new Daredevil show on Disney+—Marvel's Charlie Cox is a brilliant man! James: Had a hilarious interaction where a watch shop owner genuinely encouraged him to start a food channel instead of being a watch blogger! Praka: Going deep into his coffee hobby with his latest toy, the Orea O1 Coffee Brewer. Contact Us Thanks for tuning in!

    Wandering Hours Watch Fair 26: Ultimate Microbrand & Independent Watch Showcase

    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. Did you love the on-the-scene vlog style? Should we do more field trips? Drop your thoughts in the comments or hit us up on socials. Don't forget to leave us a 5-star review, hit the thumbs up, subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and give us all that jazz! It helps the show grow massively. Cheers!

    How Mercedes-Benz Inspired Berlin’s Newest Indie - Audoin Watches!

    On this episode of OverTime: The Podcast, Praka and James sit down with Florian, the mind behind Audoin Watches. Operating as a true one-man band out of Berlin, Florian handles everything from the initial paper sketch and 3D modeling, prototyping, sourcing, assembly and testing. We get into how his background at Mercedes-Benz and a love for vintage automotive instruments inspired his design language, the steep learning curve of teaching himself 3D design on YouTube, and the immense freedom (and headaches) of a small-batch, independent approach. Plus, we get a close-up look at the striking architecture of his latest creation, the Stromlinie.

    The Scarcity Trap: Why You Can’t Stop Buying Watch ‘Drops’

    In this episode, Praka & James get into some watch psychology! Drop culture (sneakers, watches and other luxury consumer products) are increasingly commonplace. Why does our heart rate spike when a countdown for a new release is nearing zero? We thought this would be a great episode to explore the behavioural economics of limited runs and why the ‘hunt’ is more addictive and satisfying than the actual product itself. Wristchecks: James: Hamilton Jazzmaster Traveler GMT 2 / Erebus Ascent Black Helix Praka: Farasute Mechanical Dress Watch Points Discussed: We break down the Amygdala Hijack to explain why countdown timers shut down your logic and trigger a primal "survival mode" response. You’ll learn how Loss Aversion makes the sting of a "Sold Out" screen hurt far more than the joy of an "Order Confirmed" email, and we compare the high-speed adrenaline of Microbrand Drops to the slow-burn psychological warfare of the Rolex Waitlist. Finally, we debate the "Scarcity Duel"—is it more effective to limit the total number of watches or the window of time we have to buy them? Some Recent Examples: Kurono Tokyo: The Divers Studio Underd0g: Guava (British Watchmakers Day) Something Interesting James chats his new purchase a bag to store all his camera and recording gear for his upcoming trip to Melbourne! Praka discusses how he was enjoying rewatching Avatar the Last Airbender with his son and excited for the new season of Avatar the Netflix live action series too! Contact Us Thanks for tuning in!
