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.
