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.

In this episode we welcome a return guest, Australian independent watchmaker Reuben Schoots (@reubenschoots).

Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Reuben sit down for a chat about Reuben’s journey since his last visit with us in 2021, the completion of his first series of watches and now the launch of his new watch - “Series Two”.

Join us for a fun conversation about Reuben’s journey into establishing his watchmaking business, the challenges of updating workshop equipment to match the growing ambition; finishing the "Series One" in his workshop and now kicking on to the new challenge of "Series Two".

Along the way, Reuben shares his insights on “Series Two” and reflections on the sold-out “Series One”. We also talk about Reuben’s feelings on seeing one of his watches hit the auction market on Loupe This; CNC; making parts; finding customers; connecting with collectors and finding uniques horological finishes and decorations. We even have time to chat about Reuben's other passion - amateur hill climb car racing and car building.

It’s a really fun conversation ! Hope you enjoy it too.
