URS01E22 The enthusiast profile – Margarinkungen.
In this episode we meet the controversial Margarine King. Seen by some as an enfant terrible, by others as a beloved folk hero. At Urbildningsradion we are torn. So we sat down with him to sort a few things out together.
Opinions are divided on whether you should put the screwdriver into a movement as a happy amateur. Urbildningsradion advises everyone who hesitates to hire a trained watchmaker, Margarinkungen, however, is of an entirely different opinion. We talk about his favourite watches, we talk about the Sjöö Sandström Landsort-gate, we dig a little into the problems that can arise when you sell on a modified watch…and much much more.
