About this listen

A podcast dedicated to our love of the humble and not so humble wrist watch.

We are two watch enthusiasts - Zac from Sourced_Watches, and Tim from Watch_word_ via the world of Instagram.

Each time we talk about one brand, a specific thing we love about watches, and the Instagram photos and reels that have caught our eye.

Thank you for 'keeping time' with us.

  • Season 2 Episode 5 - First in-person interview with James from Kibble Watches, our Insta shots of the month, and watches we are lusting after this month
    Jun 12 2025

    Hi Watch Fam,

    Thank you for keeping time with us - both as a podcast and now Youtube channel.

    • We've taken the pod in-person! Delighted to record at Kibble Watches in London where we have a few beers with founder, James, where we hear about his journey at a young age of becoming a watch dealer and his successes to date. You can listen to that part of the pod at (20mins 10seconds).
    • During the interview Tim talks about a watch James currently has in stock an absolutely stunning Hermes Quantieme Perpetual Calendar. If only Tim had the money!!! (33mins 55 seconds)
    • The watches we are lusting after this month: Zac picks a Patek ref 4385 with a gold Tank-style case and an onyx dial. Did we mention the 42 diamonds too! Tim selects the new under the radar release from IWC - the Lake Tahoe 41 Pilot with its wonderfully contrasting white case and black dial. James goes with Parmigiani's new Toric Perpetual Calendar in platinum with a Morning Blue dial. (3mins)
    • A strong selection for our favourite shots on Instagram this month: Tim selects two top quality Grand Seiko macros. The first from Timo.t1 again making his second appearance with the excellent Grand Seiko SBGW273 green Genbi Valley dial. Then we have The Watch Watch's cherry blossom Shunbun Spring Drive with a dial like a cloud or swan feathers. His final pick is another from Lydia's Watches with her talent for spotting great real world watch props - this time carved hands into door panels. (7mins 35seconds)
    • Meanwhile Zac picks Casafarniente and their desk shot with a modern Cartier Santos Dumont as well as WooHoo Time's Royal Oak ref 14790 paired with a inky denim jacket. James weighs in with a_collected_man's Roger W. Smith's Series 4 bi-metal dial and johnson167's pair of Cartier Bamboo Coussins complete with matching belt. (13mins 40seconds).

  • Season 2 Episode 4 - Superb interview with the Dial Artist, our favourite Watches & Wonders releases, and our Insta shots of the month
    May 7 2025

    Hi Watch Fam,

    Thank you for keeping time with us - both as a podcast and now Youtube channel.

    • A superb and at times hilarious chat with the Dial Artist, Chris. Find out how he started, the techniques and tools he uses as well as churning our 100 custom watches a week for IFL Watches and 6,000 annually. Hear how he spent way too long painting a man's nipple on a Cartier Santos and almost became a boob! (40mins 54 seconds)
    • Better late than never we talk through our favourite releases from Watches & Wonders: Tim picked out the Grand Seiko Kiri in the purple; the new burgundy BB58; the beautiful pink-dial Calatrava 6196p; and the Cartier Santos Dumont XL with the brown dial and RED cabochon. Meanwhile, Zac chose to highlight the start of the show Cartier’s Tank à Guichets. (7mins 20 seconds)
    • Zac is lusting after the new Cartier Tressage this month. Whereas Tim got caught up with the MAD2 hype in a big way and was fortunate/unfortunate not to be successful in the ballot! (24mins 21seconds)
    • Our Insta shot of the months had a bit of an Easter egg theme this time out. Tim picks out fellow podcaster Lydiaswatches superb orange Easter egg x Jurassic Park-esque Oyster Perpetual. He followed this up with Timo.T1’s Grand Seiko Kinder-egg style. The for something completely different WatchDaddy365’s macro of a Zenith Chronomaster features the overlapping sub-dials. Also a special shout out to friend of the show Xi Wang and her incredible artist talent producing a Hermes Arceau L’heure de la lune. (30mins 40seconds).
    • Zac selects @_1_5_1_8’s vintage rose gold moon-phase Patek on the wrist as well as Watchcollectinglifestyle’s Piaget Andy Warhol. Chris selects Lydia as the winning the shot of the month so a TimeKeepers’ beer mat is yours.

  • Season 2, E3 - A cracking interview with watch illustrator Bjoern Altmann, a mini dive into Breguet, and a bumper insta shots of the month
    Mar 23 2025

    Hi Watch Fam,

    Thank you for keeping time with us - both as a podcast and now Youtube channel.

    • Delighted to welcome Bjoern Altmann to the pod. A first rate illustrator with a fascinating story to tell, particularly his 600+ designs for Tag Heuer all in a few months! We bond over our shared love of Cartier and strangely station clocks of the London Underground. He’s got thousands of beautiful illustrations so check his Insta page now - BjoernAltmann (23mins 03 seconds)
    • Tim has a first ever Watch Sale Alert! The Cartier Ceinture has a new owner. All done through the wonderful Sam of the Watch Concierge Services. 100% trust and fully recommend. Her care and attention made the sale. (03mins 35 seconds)
    • We do a mini dive into Breguet focusing in on the Classique with its off centre and recessed sub-dial as well as the legendary Type XX. Noting that Breguet style hands are Tim’s favourite hands (other than pontife!). (1hr 24min 24seconds)
    • Zac is lusting after a Cartier Santos Dumont this month - a man with great taste! Meanwhile, Tim has become infatuated with a watch he didn’t think he would be and that’s the Patek Philippe Ellipse. (07mins 52seconds)
    • We each pick our Insta shot of the month. Tim singles out a top trio of A Slap on the Wrist’s reversed Reverso; a killer little watch from TimebyRaf called a Gygax Jump Hour; and finally a classy Cartier Tank black and white shot by Wrist_Watch_Doctor. Zac goes out of this world with a vintage Rolex flying saucer by m_a_n_e_g_a; and lastly a vintage Audemars Piaget with a stunning meshed bracelet and deep green dial by Kawaii.sr.vintage. (13mins 56seconds).
    • And the shot of the month winner of a TimeKeepers’ beer mat is yours TimebyRaf!
