Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio. @FifthWrist Independent Thinking Show is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology. In this special episode, hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Adam (@mediumwatch) sit down for a chat with a guest - Mr Gai Gohari (@morillo55), a vintage watch dealer who owns and operates Classic Watches NY (classicwatchny.com).
In addition to selling unusual and stylish design-driven vintage timepieces, Gai also deals in gems and jewellery, and has a deep passion for photography and fashion.
Throughout this wide-ranging conversation recorded back in January 2023, Gai shares his journey into the world of watches, documenting from his start in fashion and precious stones into his passion for vintage horology. Gai also delves into his connection with spirituality and how it intertwines with his material pursuits like watch collecting and dealing in rare and beautifully designed timepieces.
Amidst the enlightening conversation, Gai’s raw honesty provides listeners a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the watch-dealing industry, culture and how his personal philosophy plays out in his dealing practices.
Special should outs in this episode to: Roni Madhvani (@roni_m_29) previous FWR guest and someone we admire very much; Phil Toledano (@misterenthusiast) - and his awesome Viva Bastardo Podcast (@vivabastardoshow); and Aaron (@aaron_coop_).
