Most of us here at Fratello love vintage watches, but not all of us are comfortable buying and wearing them. Do you wear it, or do you spare it? Damaging a vintage watch can be expensive, but it might also just feel wrong to wear it daily. Can it wit... more

  • Where is the editor?

    This podcast should be an email. I’m sure there is good content buried in there somewhere but the multiple times I’ve tried to listen through an episode I just get so bored I can’t handle it.

  • Watch talk?

    I had previously unsubscribed to this because there was just too much inane nonsense talked before they got into watch talk. But, I gave it another go and on the 23rd January episode, it was a full 20 minutes before any talk of watches came in. 20 minutes! The longer episodes with Mike are not enjoyable unfortunately. The shorter ones are the only ones I can listen to because Mike isn’t on them and they actually talk about watches

  • Low Key, Approachable and Informative Watch Pod

    Been a fan of Fratello since day 1 of the watch bug and love the Fratello Talks episodes.

    Would only ask that please please please link to the watches you’re speaking about on each episode to help listen along on my phone for example. A bit more work, yes but would go SUCHHHH a long way!!

  • Two different podcasts

    Fratello gives you two very different podcasts about watches. "Fratello Talks": fast-paced, upbeat, caffeinated, fun. And "Fratello On Air": slow, endlessly rambling and more interested in the detours than the destination. Choose wisely!
