Timist Podcast Series
Welcome to the Timist Podcast Series, my name is James and I am the Timist and the host of the thing you’re currently trying to listen to.
I’m a watch enthusiast as well as an automotive journalist but my day job is that of a video game producer. In my podcast series I’ll be exploring the wonderful world of watches - ranging from ADs to watchmakers, collectors and enthusiast, as we talk about current watch industry topics, discuss new releases, and go behind the curtain to learn new and exciting things! Fun is a priority, so we don’t take ourselves too seriously and that’s because this is something we do for fun, born from a place of passion for the hobby.
Join us!

S2: Ep: 14 | Timist Podcast Series | Feat. James McVey From The Vamps
Welcome to season 2 episode 14 of the Timist Podcast Series - check out the show notes below:
- We explore how watches found their way into James’ world—not just as accessories, but as meaningful storytellers. James opens up about his journey from being outside the watch world to becoming one of its most open and enthusiastic collectors.
- We also talk about the timepieces that bridge generations, the beauty of his unique Bel Canto, and whether a future guitar-infused piece unique might be on the horizon. We also get his take on Christopher Ward's new Loco, tour-watch essentials, and explore the idea of being stewards of our watches for future wearers.
- But we go even deeper than just horology - we talk about the role of mentors, how his parents supported his early music career, the pressures of life on tour, and how mental health and creativity are so tightly interwoven.
