Welcome to Season 10 of Keeping Time Podcast — and episode number 100!!!

Your hosts, Jeremy and Doug, are thrilled to welcome Praneeth Rajsingh, CEO of Horologer MING to the Keeping Time podcast. MING is the newest addition to the impressive lineup at Oster Jewelers, and if you haven't yet had the pleasure of experiencing one of these extraordinary timepieces in person, this episode will make it abundantly clear why this is such an interesting and unique brand.

Founded in Malaysia in 2017 by Ming Thein and Praneeth Rajsingh, MING has in a remarkably short time become one of the most talked-about names in independent watchmaking. With over 75 references across eight years, this is a brand operating at a level that commands serious attention. The conversation with Praneeth is candid, thoughtful, and genuinely fascinating — exactly the kind of deep dive our listeners have come to expect from Keeping Time.

We explore the creative discipline behind a brand that has already earned two GPHG awards — the Horological Revelation prize in 2019 and a second win for the Sports Watch prize with the 37.09 Bluefin — and shows no signs of slowing down. From the revolutionary Polymesh bracelet that is rewriting the rules of what watchmaking can achieve, to the brand's uncompromising approach to price integrity, to one of the most remarkable track records of innovation in recent independent watchmaking, Praneeth shares candid insight into what truly sets MING apart and where this extraordinary brand is headed next.

This is a conversation that will leave you wanting to experience MING on your wrist.

How does a mechanical watch put out good vibes to the universe with every passing second? Listen in to the latest episode to find out! Our guest is the charming CEO of Sherpa Watches, Martin Klocke. I met Martin recently at Geneve Watch Days and the brand made quite an impression. Capturing authentic vintage vibes with superbly well executed dials in a true "Super-Compressor" case, the Sherpa line strikes quite a chord with a unique identity as a micro-brand out of Germany.

Listen in as we hear the full story of the inspiration behind this storied historical watch, first unveiled by Enicar in 1956 following a Swiss Expedition to Mt Everest. Enicar's SeaPearl watches proved to be incredibly reliable and suitable for extreme environments both deep underwater and as high as mankind would dare to explore, leading to the Sherpa rebranding. Martin shares with us his personal story of discovery of the famed Sherpa watches and his fascination with the 70 year old watches.

Today's faithful recreations provided many challenges to produce. It is wonderful to hear Martin talk about the production of the modern pieces and the technical brilliance of the original concept combined with further refinements. Only producing approximately 100 watches per year, today's Sherpa is a rare example of a passion project that celebrates technical brilliance, distinctive visual appeal and the rare achievement of faithfully respecting an original design with proportions that prove to be timeless. Combine all this with the world's first "Mantramatic" watch and there is far more than meets the eye with this incredibly compelling and fascinating wristwatch for the ages.

We hope that you enjoy Keeping Time podcast with host Jeremy Oster and co-host Doug Hoyt. If you could take a moment to rate, review as well as share with like-minded watch enthusiast friends it truly helps others to discover Keeping Time podcast.

This episode is a little different. We are addressing the situation in the Swiss watch industry with a focus on an explanation of the tariffs imposed this year. The implications for global trade are quite huge with few countries affected as greatly as Switzerland. Despite a population of approximately 9 million, Switzerland is one of the most important investors into the US economy; from pharmaceuticals to chocolate production and financial services. Yet huge tariffs were directed at Switzerland which affects their export market. One of Switzerland's most famous and most desirable exports is of course luxury watchmaking. This is the reason you all listen to Keeping Time.

Today we are going to discuss in-depth the impact of the tariffs on the US watch market; how it impacts retailers, manufacturers, distributors (and agents) and of course the end-users who purchase these objects of mechanical beauty. We delve into the mechanics of how the tariffs actually work from an import perspective. We then welcome a couple of friends of the podcast who bring different perspectives to the conversation.

Michael Margolis initially joins us to discuss the US impact from the perspective of a US importing agent as well as how it can impact a consumer who decides to purchase in Europe or abroad. Later we are joined by Scott Rosen who discusses the impact of the USA tariffs in the Swiss industry from the perspective of the Swiss.

This in-depth conversation should be insightful for all watch collectors/enthusiasts alike and also those in the industry. Of course, everything today is a moving target so as changes occur the information presented on this episode may be outdated quickly. However, at this time, this is an invaluable conversation with real insight into the current situation created by the price of gold, exchange rate and tariffs.
