Fratello managed to find the only Norwegian that doesn’t own a pair of skis or hiking boots. Instead, Thor hibernates through the dark winter months in the suburbs of Oslo while honing his writing skills, and waiting for Spring and the road cycling season. Rather than follow the call of the wild as many of his countryfolks do, Thor found his feet in the world of Italian design. Thor writes about Microbrands for Oracle Time Magazine, had a Youtube channel, and spent his pandemic year in permanent timezone confusion as the Independents Editor at Time+Tide Watches. This Viking would fearlessly go into battle under the banner of independent watchmaking, and his End Game two-watch collection would be a larger-than-life Greubel Forsey Art Piece and a demure Kikuchi Nakagawa.
