In this episode, we sit down with Matthew Zillmann, the founder of Hz.Watches, to talk about his latest venture: WatchPoint — a newly launched retail space and online platform dedicated to microbrand watches and curated vintage timepieces. Based in Melbourne’s iconic Block Arcade, WatchPoint is a unique space created to introduce microbrands and independents to the retail space in a welcoming way.
Wrist Check:
Matt: rocking vintage Omega Pie-Pan Constellation
Praka: wearing his bold and angular Monbrey MB1 L10,
We go into Matt's passion and reasoning behind creating such a space for people to try on, chat and discover new watches in person that you otherwise won't have a chance to in the metal - as this is often not possible in the microbrand world.
Some of the brands include:
Hz.Watches
RZE
Second Hour
Erebus
Bausele
Monbrey
Ocean to Orbit
Selten
Ubiq
Melbourne Watch Company
Sunrex
Grip Auto
and more!
Something Interesting:
Matt - discusses the Melbourne Comedy Festival, some epic shows and comedy acts that often show up on TV!
Praka - discusses his rather pleasant experience being complimented on his watch by a non-watch person in a non-watch enthusiast setting - a unique first!
