Celebrating Horological Passion: @ZealandicWatches
In this episode, hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Teesaan (@Teesaankoo) speak with Derek from @ZealandicWatches .
Derek shares his journey into horology, sparked by a childhood interest in watches and reignited by the Seiko Alpinist. The discussion covers the inspiration behind Zelandic's unique watch designs, particularly the textures inspired by New Zealand's ice caves, and includes insights into Derek's hands-on experience with manufacturing in China. The episode also touches on the challenges of launching a watch brand in New Zealand, details about the Iceborne model's specifications, and Derek's future plans. The conversation provides a deep dive into the nuances of running a microbrand while highlighting New Zealand's natural beauty and its influence on Derek's timepieces.
