All About Radium Lume




The HourTime Show show

Summary: Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon), which if I'm not mistaken is the first John-Nicholas episode in this production run. Excelsior! There was slightly less news this week than last, where the return of King Seiko was on everyone's minds. And while John and Nicholas do touch on King Seiko a bit at the tail end of the episode, this week we mostly focus on a post John published about the use of radium in watches prior to the 1970s-ish. Pretty fascinating! John also explains why he wrote the post, which I think is also interesting, given my ostensible career in media. (If it's not clear, Nicholas writes these show notes.) Nicholas then very briefly touches on a Longines event that he attended this week (where he met Teddy Baldassarre!), which explains his poor audio quality this week. Look for a post on the site in a few days. And that about does it. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content. Thank you for listening, and have a great week!
