| 12/20/25 |  Independent Thinking - When Tradition Meets Passion: The Art of Embroidery Meets Watch Culture | Claus (@tapir_ffm) and Wolfgang (@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e) met with Jure von Ercigoj (@ercigojart) for a special conversation about two worlds that, at first glance, have nothing in common – yet form a fascinating connection.Since 1923, the Ercigoj family has been running their embroidery studio through now five generations. What began with intricate embroidered designs for the Church and elaborate flags for veteran societies, fire brigades, and hunting clubs evolved through decades of innovation into something extraordinary: The Ercigoj workshop has transformed embroidery from a textile decoration technique into a true art medium. Their self-developed technologies and techniques enable artworks today that you can only believe once you've seen them on their website.Jure combines two passions in one person: He is a master of embroidery art and a watch enthusiast. Applying this centuries-old craft to a watch dial was therefore only a matter of time. This inspiring conversation explored exactly this fusion – how over 100 years of tradition meets the fascination for watches, creating a unique combination of two crafts.Don't miss witnessing the union of these different worlds!

| 10/24/25 |  From the Hills of Piedmont to the Stars: Interview with Marco Guarino, watch*maker* and AHCI candidate | In this episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio we talk to Marco Guarino from Marc&Darnò. “From the Hills of Piedmont to the Stars”Marco Guarino lives and works in Asti, in a workshop that’s also his home.There, he creates no ordinary watches, but mechanical masterpieces that bring the sun, moon, and time into harmony. What started as an evening course turned into a lifelong passion: watches and astronomy.Today, Marco builds complications the world has never seen before — from a moon phase module with an error margin of just 0.03 seconds to the world’s first “Lunar Equation” in a wristwatch.His motto? “Never give up because you might be one step away from success.”His dream? To share his knowledge — and soon become a full member of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI).He is currently a Candidate and hopes to take the decisive step next year.If you want to discover how an idea born between stars and gears becomes a watch that pushes the limits of what’s possible — tune in to this episode!*** Detailled table of contents below ***Marco is not that confident with English, but we are fortunate enough to have Elio on board, who actually is Italian.Elio is known as @the349designer and in the unlikely case you don’t know him, he’ got much experience with watches not only as a knowledgable collector, but also as someone who designed two breathtaking individual pieces all by himself; so Elio is the perfect choice on many levels to conduct this interview in Marcos native language. We have subsequently dubbed this with English voice-overs to make it available to a broader audience. The voice of Marco is spoken by Adam – @mediumwatch – you know him as one of the co-hosts of «Fifth Wrist Independent Thinking»Make sure to check out Marco and Marc&Darnò @marcdarno_official on instagram and www.marcdarno.com/A Fifth Wrist Radio production: @fifthwrist; fifthwrist.comInterview conducted and edited by Elio @the349designerEnglish voices: Elio and Adam @mediumwatchExecutive producer & audio editor: Claus @tapir_ffm Theme Music based on the aria «Ebben, Ne Andro Lontana» of the opera «La Wally» by Alfredo Catalani 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:40 Wrist-, Drink- & Location-Check (Marco)00:06:34 Wrist-, Drink- & Location-Check (Elio)00:08:09 Applicant for the AHCI00:09:15 Meeting Vincent Calabrese00:11:38 The experiences at the Professional Watchmaking School in Turin00:14:10 The beginning of the watchmaking career and the first machineries00:15:30 The transition to the brand Marc & Darn00:17:40 The passion for Astronomy and the home-made Moonphase module00:19:07 The suggestions from Vincent Calabrese about an "open" dial style, like the Corum Golden Bridge one00:20:24 Learning how to properly finishing a movement00:21:35 Ludwig Oechslin and the Türler Clock00:22:32 The calculations needed for an astronomical complication00:24:20 The use of classical components like gears and wheels, instead of using differentials, like Andreas Strehler does00:25:10 The meaning of accuracy in a moonphases complication00:26:15 Designing an astronomical wristwatch: the trade-off between accuracy and available space00:28:03 Comparing a classic moonphase complication to the one made by Marco00:29:00 The base caliber used by Marco00:30:30 The equation of time complication made by Marco00:35:40 The lunar day complication made by Marco00:37:40 The lunar equation complication made by Marco00:40:45 The Indian calendar made by Marco00:44:00 How to set a watch made by Marco00:46:25 Working on the "manufacture" calibre00:50:35 Thickness and diameters of Marc&Darnò watches00:52:27 The use of "Marco Guarino" as a brand name00:53:05 The habillage of Marc&Darnò watches: cases and dials00:56:00 Experiences in exhibitions00:57:58 Marco's personal motto00:59:15 How Marco sees himself in 10 or 20 Years from now01:00:30 Alessandro Rigotto, the other Italian member of AHCI01:01:34 Closings | — | ||||||
