This is Episode 5 of The Time 4A Pint Podcast - In which we pay a visit to Swiss Time Services, and have a chat with Tony Coe, about things that go "Tick".



With a collection to rival Omega themselves, Tony chose to share with us his particular passion for the high-end electro mechanical goodies of the recent past.

As always feedback is highly appreciated.

 

Ahh... Nice one Chris! (Now I have to hold my hand up... because I initially 'went off on one', like a big hysterical tart when I heard that Simon had left STS... sorry!)
BUT... after you chaps calmed me down, I had a lovely chat with Tony, on the telephone, in which he 'clued me up' on how things actually work at Swiss Time Services. For me, it was a very helpful and interesting conversation. I'm looking forward to hearing more from him on your podcast.

Hopefully you enjoy it Jonathan!

We talk a bit about what STS is, how it came to be etc... and then more about Tony's passion for Electro-Mechanical Omegas!

I now NEED a Marine Chronometer... or a "Stardust"... or a French Navy Issued Clock...

 

I blame Tony C.

 

Heading for the airport now! Can't wait

 

Did you ever consider to open the UK branch of the Omegamuseum?

 

Nice episode, thanks

 

Another awesome episode, and I always look forward to these. Great work Chris!!

 

Sorry, but I read the title as 'Swiss Toni'



"As you know, servicing a watch is very much like making love to a beautiful woman..."

 

Enjoyed that one. Loving the sound of the Stardust. Want to catch one in the sun
Just Livin....and continuing to learn.....many thanks

 

Excellent again, scientific approach somehow this time. The variety of the podcast is great! made my day again. period.

 

Another great podcast and if I may say it was MEGA in many ways and very informative...

 

Two as always, Chris! Wish I could binge listen like I've been doing with other shows/podcasts

 

Well done again Chris! You've done a great job in giving 5 unique listener experiences.

 

STS... It started off pretty much down the garden

 

Listened this afternoon. Great job as usual!

That elephant was just amazing and someday I'd love to see a video of a stardust in the sun.

 

Downloaded while visiting in laws in Uruguay and started listening to episode 5 while at the airport waiting for flight to Santiago Chile.
Got about 5 mins in and thought fu k this!

I need to start from scratch, this is great!
Love the topics, people,your accent, it's very cool, keep up the good work.
Now starting ep4 while waiting for connection to Miami and sadly 4&5 won't cover me the rest of my trip.

 

Another one through the remastering process - should be clearer and brighter - has certainly rekindled my desire for a Marine Chronometer.

If you're new round here, and have heard mention of Swiss Time Services (STS), and been a little unsure what those words mean together, give this a listen.

Listen Now!

 

This was a very cool episode and one that I enjoyed very much. Thanks for the remaster.
