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!

Welcome to season 2 episode 18 of the Timist Podcast Series - check out the show notes below:
In this episode...
- RJ Broer walks us through how he got bit by the watch bug, how he sold his car to buy his first Speedmaster, and even how Fratello Watches came to be the multi-national media and watch powerhouse that we know today!
- He also brings us behinds the scenes and explains what it actually takes to run an operation at this level - from the editorial stage, to design, marketing, localization and even watch collaborations with the likes of Omega!
