Independent Thinking - John Reardon (@collectabilityllc); Patek Philippe, ellipses and space travel

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology. Hosts: Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Adam (@mediumwatch) chat with special guest John Reardon (@collectabilityllc). John is an expert in all things Patek Philippe, having worked for the Henri Stern Agency (Patek Philippe USA), and written a number of books on the brand. Before starting Collectability (an education and sales platform dedicated to Patek Philippe), John was Christie’s International Head of Watches until 2019, and had also worked at Sotheby’s New York. Join us for a frank and open discussion about the world of Patek, Ellipse, Nautilus, pocket watches and John’s not-so-secret love of desk clocks and pocket watches. We discuss current and future market trends, references to watch and even the future of space travel and Patek collectables for the coming space-tourism age. Erudite, thoughtful, open and honest, we guarantee you will enjoy our conversation with John Reardon.
