It's highly likely you either know who Jeff Hilliard is, or you're familiar with his work. And if you're still coming up short, your favorite people in the style community have worked alongside him. Jeff's one of the mainstays and brains behind many of the Limited Editions watches from Hodinkee, while he also moonlights as somewhat of a NYC fashion staple as one of the 3 J's in Blamo!'s JJJ Show. Together, he and I chat about style, his journey with clothes, what will never leave, as well as his approach to watch collecting. Lastly, even though he brings it up, Jeff happened to pen my favorite article in HODINKEE history called Finding My Father in His Watch. You've probably read it. We didn't go into it, and that's mainly because we ultimately decided to make this a two-part conversation, so without further ado…here's Part 1 with Jeff. STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_Jeff Hilliard@jhilla

As prices begin to surge and scholarship deepens, John Reardon and Tony Traina discuss why the Patek Philippe ref. 3970 is becoming so important as a bridge between vintage and modern for collectors. Collectability is honored that Tony Traina is now a contributor to our website and his first long-form article, A Collector's Guide to the Patek Philippe Ref. 3970 has already made waves in the watch community. In this lively and informative podcast, John and Tony dive deep into the ref. 3970 article, explaining nuances and sharing new information about this intriguing perpetual calendar chronograph.Tony Traina has written some of the most insightful and interesting articles about the watch industry for leading platforms such as Hodinkee, GQ, Sotheby's, Revolution and A Collected Man. Tony Traina has recently launched his own newsletter, Unpolished which we highly recommend subscribing to as it contains must-read content that the watch world is not yet looking closely at.To read Collectability's Collector's Guide to the Patek Philippe Ref. 3790 by Tony Traina please follow this link: https://collectability.com/learn/a-collectors-guide-to-the-patek-philippe-ref-3970-perpetual-calendar-chronograph/.To subscribe to Tony Traina's newsletter Unpolished please follow this link: https://www.unpolishedwatches.com/Shop for your favorite watches at the Collectability Shop: https://collectability.com/shop/Learn more about Collectability on our website: https://collectability.com Follow us on Instagram for regular updates: https://www.instagram.com/collectabilityllc/Listen, like and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: https://linktr.ee/Collectability

Everyone's favourite Chicago-based watch newsletter publisher is back for his second (or third?) chat with OT:, and as is now customary, we've caught at something of an interstitial moment. Traina left Hodinkee late last year and has dived head first into his newsletter, Unpolished (née Rescapement). We talk to Tony about the premise and pitch of his newsletter and (inevitably) the state of watch media in 2025. We also talk about industry pet peeves, press trip weirdness and why glazing billionaires is never a good idea.

Ben Clymer grew up in a New York suburb, raised by middle-class public school teachers and enamored by his grandfather's swagger and style. An Omega Speedmaster, a gift from said grandfather, is the piece that captured his heart and sets his story in motion. A painstakingly shy student, he began to gain self-confidence in high-school and a need to differentiate in college. In 2008 he started a tiny blog, HODINKEE, a passion-project about watches that gained traction and sent him on a mission to get a Master's in Journalism. Since then, HODINKEE has led to creative collaborations with the most prestigious watch brands and famous rockstars, and grown into a multi-channel platform that has transformed the world of luxury watches.

On this episode, we're pleased to welcome our very special guest, watch writer extraordinaire and former Hodinkee editor, Mr Tony Traina. We talk to Tony about Cartier, Universal Genève, watch journalism vs commercialism, and a whole lot more.

What makes a watch contrarian? Going against the grain? Rejecting popular belief? Or just an appreciation of watches which might not hit everyone's radar but certainly captures the attention of a contrarian few?Find out the answer to this most posing of questions as we welcome journalist, enthusiast and all round engaging top guy, Thor Svaboe onto the CP7 Podcast. Thor enlightens us with the answers to all of these questions and more.  He's seen more than his fair share of weird and wonderful watches being an accomplished writer with an edge, who started at Time + Tide, and  rapidly moved on to elite publications such as Revolution, Oracle Time, Fratello and  more recently to the big daddy of them all, Hodinkee.So if you want to know your Aera from your Omega and your Furlan Marri from your Patek Philippe, buckle up and enjoy the ride as we take a highly enjoyable trip into the contrarian wilderness of the watch world. Don't forget to check out the show notes on our website to add a visual experience at:www.chronopassion7.com or at our Instagram @chrono_passion_7.Intro-Outro Music Credit "The Attic Is For Work" By Streamer Music Group - Copyright Free Music

The guys also discuss Watches of Switzerland's recent purchase of Hodinkee and what it means for both companies. Finally, they discussed the new Omega Speedmaster FOIS (First Omega in Space) and offered their thoughts on fake watches.

Today I'm sitting down with ESPN and Sportscenter anchor Gary Striewski to discuss all things watch collecting. Gary got the bug early on when he noticed his father wearing a gold Seiko with his army fatigues and never got that image out of his head. Fast forward and as Gary's career started to pave its way, so did his watch collection. He's the guy you want representing your brand, simply because he loves this stuff. He's walking proof that you can never have too many GMT's and that being in the spotlight everyday doesn't get you allocations, it's your character that does the trick. He's had the pleasure of being a guest on Hodinkee's Talking Watches and his love for cars comes with the same passion he puts towards watches. We chat about how he's ESPN's resident watch guy now, citing the wrists of those at events like Formula 1 and the ESPY's. It's definitely not the last time you'll be hearing from him on Collectors Gene Radio. But for now, please enjoy, this is Gary Striewski, for Collectors Gene Radio.Gary's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekimchipapi?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Talking Watches with Gary Striewski - https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/talking-watches-gary-striewski

Pierre Biver of J.C. Biver, Jasper Lifering of Amsterdam Vintage Watches, and Erik Gustafson of Hairspring Watches join me in three separate conversations to provide a holistic overview of stone dials.Over the past few years, stone dials have seemingly popped up everywhere. More modern brands are making them. At the same time, vintage examples have become more collectible and jumped in price considerably.But stone dials are still a relatively undiscovered corner of watch collecting. They're not well understood on the vintage or modern side.So I wanted to cover them on Hodinkee. Typically, we'd do this by talking to a few experts and synthesizing those conversations into an in-depth article. But I decided to try something different this time around, hitting record on three conversations to learn about modern stone dial production, vintage collecting, and everything in between.Our first conversation is with Pierre Biver, who started J.C. Biver with his father Jean-Claude Biver last year. Each of their releases has included a stone dial option. Then, I talk with two dealers. First is Jasper Lijfering of Amsterdam Vintage Watches, a vintage dealer and trained gemologist. Second is Erik Gustafson of Hairspring Watches, who has helped grow the scholarship around stone dials. We dive into the recent discussion around Rolex "obsidian" dials; as we'll discuss, this name isn't quite accurate and it shows how much there still is to learn about vintage watches, and stone dials in particular.I hope all three conversations give you a better understanding of stone dials. Note that I've tried to include links to an example of all stone dials mentioned in the audio, so check the show notes below if you're not sure what a particular stone looks like.Show Notes1:23: Hands-On: The Biver Automatique2:14: Hands-On: The Biver Carillon Tourbillon19:30: Hands-On: The Berneron Mirage Realizes Its Creator's Uncompromising Vision24:00: Hands-On: Baltic Prismic Stone Dial Limited Editions31:54: Amsterdam Vintage Watches33:35: In-Depth: How Piaget Defined The 1970s, And How It Can Do The Same Today38:15: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Malachite dial39:16: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Coral dial41:53: Dr. Helmut Crott's The Dial42:45: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with black Onyx dial43:15: Example of a Piaget Protocole with Lapis Lazuli dial43:28: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Tiger's Eye dial45:20: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Green Jasper dial46:30: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Pyramid Onyx dial46:55: Jasper's white gold Datejust with Red Jasper dial52:05: Rolex Day-Date with 'Bloodstone' dial54:10: Hairspring Watches56:00: Hairspring's post about the "Obsidian" dial Rolex Datejust58:45: Recapping The Glamorous Day-Date Sale At Phillips (That Time The Average Day-Date Sold For $110,580)1:00:00: "Obsidian" Rolex at Phillips in 20201:02:30: Rolex Day-Date Khanjar with "Obsidian" dial that Loupe This described as "although it looks like an onyx stone dial, after closer inspection it appears the dial is a painted/ lacquer dial."1:11:37: Introducing: Audemars Piguet Brings Back The Starwheel (Live Pics) (including pics of a tropical Starwheel)1:11:58: Rolex Daytona ref. 116500 "Lemon" dial 

For this special episode, we're joined by Andres Nicholls. Andres is a dedicated collector of all things Porsche and Porsche Design. Andres' passion for the brand runs deep – he bought his first Porsche Design Chronograph 1 way back in 2000. As a trained designer and architect, he also brings a different perspective to the way in which Porsche Design's watches blend design and complications. Along the way, James and Andres also talk about some of their favorite Porsche cars, and how the brand continues to set itself apart. Andres is a senior partner and creative director for the creative agency Prophet.Thanks to Porsche Design for its support of Hodinkee Radio.Show NotesRelated coverage of Porsche Design:Also watch our first episode featuring Porsche Design with Drew Peterson.In-Depth: A Detailed Look At The Incredible 40 Years Of Porsche DesignWatching Movies: Why Tom Cruise's Porsche Design, And A Vintage Rolex, Make 'Top Gun: Maverick' The Best Watch Movie Of The YearTalking Watches With Ferdi PorscheHands-On: Take To The Ice With The New Porsche Design Chronograph 1 GP 2023 Editionhttps://www.hodinkee.com/articles/take-to-the-ice-with-the-new-porsche-design-chronograph-1-gp-2023-editionThe Porsche Design Chronograph 1 for Hodinkee

We thought we knew what we were getting into when we asked Marc Montagne, author of 'Invest in Watches: The Art of Watch Collecting' onto the pod. We prepared questions around market motility, hot models and the ethics of flipping, but it quickly became apparent that it wasn't going to be that kind of interview. Marc, a watch industry professional, wasn't interested in buying and selling to make a quick buck — he was in it for the long haul. Marc is more interested in investing in quality and the style of watch that works for you. It might not be the textbook definition of investment, but we respect the hell out of the approach. Before chatting with Marc, Felix and Andy ponder what Hodinkee's acquisition by Watches of Switzerland means for the industry (and how much it sold for).

Show Notes: Episode Title: Why the WOS Purchase of Hodinkee Didn't Move the Needle for Me Episode Description:In today's episode, I explore Watches of Switzerland's acquisition of Hodinkee and why, as an enthusiast, it doesn't change much for me. We break down Ben Clymer's spin on the deal, how Hodinkee has evolved into a marketing machine, and why the real focus should remain on the watches. I also explain how Hodinkee's access to WOS's inventory could create more opportunities to learn about timepieces and encourage listeners to look past the “plumage” and focus on the “meat”—the watches. Key Discussion Points: WOS Buying Hodinkee: Why it's not a merger—it's a sale. My Enthusiast Reaction: This doesn't change much for me as someone who loves watches. Hodinkee's Evolution: How it has become more of a polished sales platform. Loyalty and Trust: Why I put my trust in the watches themselves, not in any one platform. Focus on the Watches: How Hodinkee's access to WOS's inventory could offer more opportunities for enthusiasts to learn about watches.

Today (October 4, 2024) marks a major shift in the watch industry. Hodinkee, the leading voice in modern watch media, has been fully acquired by Watches of Switzerland, a massive UK based retailer with operations around the world including in the US. Only a few months ago, Ben Clymer, founder of Hodinkee – and as of today, a President at Watches of Switzerland – announced that the publication was shuttering their retail business and going to back to focus on “the basics” (i.e., their editorial product). So what does this all mean for Hodinkee, its stakeholders, and of course the industry at large? Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology, Openwork goes inside the watch industry. You can find us online at collectivehorology.com. To get in touch with suggestions, feedback or questions, email podcast@collectivehorology.com.    

One dial, two dial, green dial, blue dial. This week we lowered ourselves down into the rabbit hole that is dials. From stone dials, to enamel, guilloche and ceramic, there are more variations of watch dials than you can shake a fist at.

For this special episode, we're joined by Drew Peterson. Drew is a dedicated collector of the Porsche Design Chronograph 1, so he brought a portion of his collection to the Hodinkee office to chat with James Stacey.

This past April was the podcast's 10-year anniversary, and the platform River helped listeners organize parties around the world in more than 180 cities! More than 4,000 people RSVP'd. I was able to join about 40 cities via Zoom for quick hellos and drinks (huge thanks to Rae and Ana for the quarterbacking), and I had a blast dropping in on the Paris meetup in person. Thanks to everyone who gathered for wine, celebration, and meeting like-minded people! After all the parties, and as a thank you for their hard work, I invited all of the hosts to a private Q&A.

First up are some sexy new Grand Seiko US exclusives with Kirazuri dials. After, we have the newest offering from TAG Heuer x Hodinkee, which revives a very cool old complication.

On this week's episode, JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates question whether the Paris Olympics suffered from overbranding and ponder what it means for future games, before discussing recent missteps at Tiffany & Co. and a flurry of C-suite changes at luxury watch brands. Next, Victoria explains how and why jewelry brands are tapping into the travel boom with shops in airports and aboard cruise ships. Finally, Rob brings listeners up to speed on Hodinkee's return to its roots as a watch blog and the factors that prompted it. Sponsored by Tracr: tracr.com

Today's guest is gentleman dealer Eric Wind of Wind Vintage. Eric was one of the earliest contributors to Hodinkee, writing his first article about the Universal Geneve Polerouter way back in 2010.Over the years, he published the weekly "Bring A Loupe" column and you probably also recognize him from his multiple Reference Points appearances – Speedmaster, GMT-Master, Explorer, and Submariner – and his two talks for the Horological Society of New York.After his time as a Hodinkee contributor, Eric joined Christie's as a VP and Senior Specialist of Watches. In 2017 he set out on his own with Wind Vintage. Nowadays, you surely recognize his wrist and white cuff, always adorned with a rare or beautiful vintage watch.Eric tells a few stories about putting together those epic Reference Points, then we talk about the current vintage watch market, his modern watch collabs, and a charitable auction coming this December that he's involved in.

Today, we're chatting watches with our guest, watch journalist Blake Buettner. Blake's a veteran of watch media, having first contributed to Hodinkee in 2010. After that, he went on to work with StockX before becoming the Managing Editor of Worn & Wound. Nowawadays, you can find his writing in places like the Robb Report as well as his own project, The Deeptrack. We talk a bit about Blake's background, the early days of Hodinkee, and how he got into watches. But since he's old hat at this, James, Blake, and I mostly just kick back and talk watches – the new Seiko Speedtimer, exciting microbrands, all followed by a listener Q&A. A note that Hodinkee Radio will be adopting a summer schedule through the month of August. We're taking next week off, but we'll be back in your feed again before long. Until then, enjoy my discussion with Blake and James. Show Notes00:15: Blake's The Deep Track1:40: Reference Points: Understanding The Rolex Sea-Dweller4:11: Worn & Wound's Windup Watch Fair5:45: Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor6:20: Introducing: Oak & Oscar Atwood Chronograph6:50: AnOrdain Model 39:15: Introducing: Furlan Marri Disco Volante10:10: Hands-On: Autodromo Group C11:00: Autodromo Racing Team14:30: Inside The Manufacture: Parmigiani Fleurier16:10: Hands-On with the d.m.h.

On this special episode of Openwork, we discuss Hodinkee's recent announcement that they're shutting down their retail business – with the exception of limited editions – to refocus on editorial. This is big news that touched off an immediate and widespread response within the watch community. It also has significant implications for the watch industry at large, reshaping Hodinkee's role within it and more broadly putting magnifying glass on the turbulent landscape of both watch media and retail.

Today's episode is coming at you in two parts. In the first part, Jeff Hilliard, our director of Limited Editions, joins Ben and me to chat about limited editions and Hodinkee's recent collaboration with Porsche Design, a take on the original Chronograph 1. Founded by F.A. Porsche in 1972, Porsche Design has made a number of contributions to watches, which we also discuss.After that, James Stacey and Mark Kauzlarich join the show. Since we're already halfway through 2024, we decided to recap the first half of the year: Our favorite releases, overlooked watches, and the watches we've been wearing the most.Thanks for listening, and enjoy the show. Show Notes1:01: The Porsche Design Chronograph 1 Limited Edition for Hodinkee3:00: TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper Limited Edition for Hodinkee3:10: Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache for Hodinkee16:30: Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium Limited Edition for Hodinkee17:30: Zenith El Primero Limited Edition for Hodinkee17:45: MB&F LM 101 for Hodinkee18:15: IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XVIII for Hodinkee25:15: The Casiotron Makes Its Grand Return 50 Years After Starting A Digital Revolution28:10: The Doxa Sub 200T – A Smaller Take On The Classic Doxa Design32:00: Grand Seiko's New SLGW002 And SLGW003 'White Birch' With A Brand-New Manual Hi-Beat Movement 33:10: A Week On The Wrist: Omega Speedmaster with white lacquer dial35:40: Hands-On: Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT38:30: The Momentum UDT Eclipse Synch Solar – A Modern-Day Chronosport UDT40:50: Bulgari Sets A New Record (Again) For The World's Thinnest Watch With The New Octo Finissimo Ultra43:24: Hands-On: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar John Mayer Limited Edition44:36: A.

Our guest today is editor and writer Jay Fielden. Jay is a media industry vet, having spent time at The New Yorker, Vogue, and Men's Vogue, before becoming editor-in-chief of Town & Country. From there, he took the same position at Esquire from 2016 to 2019. He's also contributed to Hodinkee a few times over the years.We invited Jay on to talk more about his recent excellent piece, "The Strange Journey of John Lennon's Stolen Patek Philippe Watch," which appeared in the June 24 issue of The New Yorker.It's the most detailed account yet of the "Lennon 2499" that has remained mostly a mystery for decades. He traces the story, talks to the people, and even found some never-before-published photos of the Patek given by Yoko Ono to Lennon for his 40th birthday, just months before he was murdered.Also joining the conversation is our own Ben Clymer. Thanks for listening, and enjoy this week's conversation with Jay Fielden.Show NotesSince the main topic of this week's episode is Fielden's article in The New Yorker, it's short on show notes.

My guests this week are Phil Toledano and Mike Nouveau.Phil is no stranger to Hodinkee, having been on Talking Watches and this podcast previously. He's an artist and photographer, bon vivant as well as a collector of all kinds of stuff, including watches. Most recently, he's the co-founder of Toledano & Chan, which just released its first watch, the brutalist B1. He's also a frequent undercard on Mike's social videos.Mike is a vintage dealer and the king of WatchTok – he's got hundreds of thousands of followers across social media who tune into his daily updates on life as a dealer in New York City. He has, in particular, become known for his love and expertise in vintage Cartier, which we certainly talk about.The odd couple are friends and collectors, and they just love watches. We talk about vintage Cartier, Breitling, Patek, and pre-Daytonas, as well as the first release from Toledano's new brand. Along the way, we all get in a few friendly jabs.Show Notes00:01: Mike Nouveau on TikTok and Instagram Phil Toledano on Instagram1:00: Introducing: The B/1 Is An Audaciously Designed Watch By Newcomer Toledano & Chan1:21: Phil on Hodinkee Radio in 20202:30: Hands-On: Cartier Brings Back The Tortue – Monopusher Chronograph And All11:05: Phil's rectangular Patek with blue sapphire numerals11:25: Buying, Selling, & Collecting: The Audacious Design Of 1970s Patek11:56: Mike and Phil picking up the Rolex Zerograph15:30: Mike's Patek 96 with Breguet numerals16:44: The steel Patek 96 that sold at Antiquorum in May19:45: Auctions: Sylvester Stallone's Grandmaster Chime Sells For $5.4 Million, Evaluating Vintage Patek Philippe Condition, And More From New York23:52: Talking Watches with Phil Toledano

My guests this week are watchmaker Dr. Rebecca Struthers and Lewis Heath, founder of AnOrdain. The two are friends and collaborators, so it was fun to get them both together for a conversation about watchmaking in the U.K., what they're up to, and what's next. Lewis Heath founded AnOrdain in 2015. Since then, the Scottish brand has become known for its beautifully crafted enamel dials. He founded the company after working as a product designer and deciding he wanted to make something closer to home. Dr. Rebecca Struthers is a watchmaker and co-founder of Struthers Watchmakers along with her husband and fellow watchmaker, Craig. The two began their business as restorers, but after realizing they'd made pretty much every other component for other people's watches, decided to build their own. This was the beginning of Project 248, their effort to build their own in-house movement. Struthers also became the first watchmaker in the United Kingdom to complete a Ph.D program, making her the country's first "watch doctor." Show Notes3:00: Lewis' Dubley & Schaldenbrand watch4:59: Rebecca's HSNY talk on Dutch forgeries8:38: Hands on Time, by Rebecca Struthers (publisher page); read the Hodinkee review here9:16: Value Proposition: The AnOrdain Model 19:50: AnOrdain and Struthers Project 248 enamel dials14:04: Hands-On: AnOrdain Model 1 'Fume'33:45: British Horological Institute58:00: Rebecca's Movado Weems watch

In this week's episode, I'm running the three-man weave with Ben and James. I gave the guys a bit of homework before we recorded. Last month, Ben mentioned in his review of the Rolex "Le Mans" Daytona that maybe we should do "A Week On (An Owner's) Wrist" reviews every once in a while. Talking about – and reviewing – watches that we've recently acquired. I thought it was a pretty good idea (nice, Ben!), so I called him up and said "Let's do it on the pod!" Of course, I had to get James in the mix as well to keep us grounded in reality (and Seiko). So each of us came ready to talk about two watches we've recently acquired. Why we bought them, what we like about them, and what we'd change if we could. We cover basically the entire range of watches, from Swatch to Seiko to maybe the hottest indie around. 1:30: Financial Times Luxury Live Summit3:00: In-Depth: Marc Newson Opens Up About Ikepod, The Pathbreaking '90s Watch Brand That's Cool All Over Again; Marc Newson Hourglass for Hodinkee6:30: Ben's Watch Spotting at the Universal Geneve Meetup That Tony Definitely Read7:50: Wind Vintage Universal Geneve Film Compax9:40: Hands-On With (That Other) Universal Genve Film Compax10:50: Ben's A Week On The Wrist With The Le Mans Daytona14:50: James' A Week On The Wrist With The Tudor Pelagos 3916:40: Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms Ocean of Storms21:50: The Unimatic Carbon Limited Editions for Hodinkee23:45: Hodinkee's first capsule collection with Unimatic24:35: The 36mm Unimatic Modello Cinque24:50: The Unimatic x Massena Lab Modello Cinque26:10: Introducing: Rexhep Rexhepi Returns With A Sequel To The Award-Winning Chronomètre Contemporain27:00: Ben's November 2023 Photo Report from Geneva29:28: In-Depth: Gruebel Forsey Signature 132:15: Only Watch 2024 Auction Results34:00: Hands-On: Swatch Adds Six Watches To Its Neon Collection Just In Time For Summer38:10: Watches in the Wild: Thailand: Episode 138:45: Hodinkee's 10 Favorite Seikos of All Time40:40: James' Review Of The New Seiko "24MAS" Divers42:58: James' A Week On The Wrist With the Seiko SPB14344:30: Cartier Brings Back The Tortue, Monopusher And All47:00: A Collector's Guide To 1970s Cartier Watches

Rest in peace to all the soldiers that died in the service. This week, Jimmy and Larry are podding on Memorial Day weekend like true heroes to valiantly cover microplastics in your balls, purpose-driven Pitti Uomo shopping, unintentionally copping the same shirt as your boy, neck sizes, tanning, we foolishly activated the Evan Kinori defense hive and have some critical theories as to why plus Lawrence issues a public apology, what the hell happened to r/MFA, Hodinkee shits the bed, why all resell markets eventually fail, shopping the Stussy archive sale, a new contender for best store in NYC is coming soon, it's about to be a big week for the Bravo Boys, issuing height corrections, Tires, the true cost of penis-fillers, James reviews Brooklyn's hotly-anticipated seafood counter and cocktail bar and much more.

Today on the podcast I'm thrilled to have two legendary collectors and dealers join me, Eric Ku and Justin Gruenberg.Of course, Eric is no stranger to Hodinkee, having appeared on the site, Talking Watches, and this podcast. He got his start as a vintage watch dealer, soon founding 10Past10 back in 2005. Most recently, he co-founded the online auction site Loupe This in 2021. He's since become known for his expertise in Rolex, Cartier, and pretty much all things vintage.Eric's Loupe This co-founder is today's other guest, Justin Gruenberg. Justin is a second-generation watch and jewelry dealer from L.A., and since joining the family business he also founded the vintage dealer The Keystone. Justin is widely admired for his wide taste that runs the gamut from vintage to modern, sport to dress, and everything in between.Both of these guys have a keen eye, great taste, and extensive about watches. In today's episode, we discuss the most recent auctions and the market more broadly, what dealers and auctions can do better, and get into the nitty-gritty with vintage Patek, Rolex, and Cartier. We also have a little fun – I get both of the guys to tell me what watch they'd love to snag from the other's collection.Thanks as always for listening, and make sure to hit the show notes to follow along with some of the watches we discuss. 00:01: Loupe This3:00: The Keystone4:40: Acquired LVMH podcast8:00: Seven Things I Learned From The Spring Watch Sales And Trying To Make Sense Of The Up-And-Down 'Market'8:40: Patek 1463 at Antiquorum Geneva that sold for CHF 293,75010:10: Christie's Geneva Watch Auction Postponed Until Tuesday Due To Cyberattack; Potential Bidders Encouraged To Contact Christie's11:20: Hands-On With Formula 1 Legend Michael Schumacher's Watches Ahead Of The Christie's Sale12:10: Unique Patek Philippe Steel Sonnerie Minute Repeater Sells For $17.3 Million In Return Of Only Watch15:50: Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime For Only Watch 2019 Sells For CHF 31 Million, Becoming The Most Expensive Watch In The World23:30: The Patek Philippe Complicated Desk Clock Sells For CHF 9.5 Million At Only Watch 202132:10: AP Chronicles35:20: The "gold albino" Rolex Daytona 6265 that passed at Phillips35:30: A Close Encounter With Just The Third Of Its Kind: Hands-On With The Legendary Albino Daytona41:10: Eric's "PSA" Instagram post about fake Rolex stone dials49:10: Dealers Alessandro "Mr. A" and Peluco on Instagram52:10: Justin's Decagonal Cartier London watch52:50: Eric's Cartier London Tank Cintree56:50: Jay-Z wearing the Rolex "modified" by "Franck Muller", and Franck Muller's Rolex school watch as seen in an old auction catalog1:01: Hermes Acquired podcast
