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!
