In this episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio, Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Claus (@tapir_ffm) are joined by Felipe Pikullik (@felipepikullik), a fantastic German independent watchmaker. We chat about Felipe’s early fascination with watches, persistence in gaining entry to watchmaking school in Glashütte, and formative work with Stefan Kudoke (skeletonization) and Rolf Lang (restoration and prototyping from scratch). Felipe describes the evolution of his watchmaking from decorating stock calibers to his most recent release of an in-house calibre Sternenhimmel FPA1; and explains his “in-house architecture” definition (FPA1 uses mostly in-house parts but not 100%), choices like German silver for finishing and patina, a handcrafted balance wheel displayed front-side, a retrograde date adjusted via lug mechanism to avoid pushers and danger zones, and his unique use of aventurine in the dial and movement construction. In our opinion, Felipe is one of the most exciting indie talents, delivering outstanding value and a unique voice in the indie horology space. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.
