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.

In this episode, our focus is on watches designed for underwater exploration. But here's the twist: Should timepieces that don't meet the ISO 6425 standards still carry the title of 'dive watches'? It's a hot topic in the watch community, and we're diving deep into the debate to explore both sides of the argument. Join me as I navigate this topic!

Join me as we chat with Evan Johnson of Stay Calm Industries, a successful marketing firm, about his watches and how, or if his career in marketing has influenced his watch enthusiasm. We also tackle one of his unpopular opinions and determine if FOMO attacks marketing professionals.

Warning: there's some spicy language in this episode.

Welcome to episode 93, where we focus on my love and appreciation of three-hand watches! Below you'll find links to all the topics we discussed today, along with a few organizations worth checking out. Don't forget to support the veterans in your life and enjoy the watch talk!

• Grand Seiko SBGX335: https://timeandtidewatches.com/hands-on-the-utilitarian-grand-seiko-sbgx335-delivers-more-than-just-wrist-presence/ The Grand Seiko SBGX335 is a wonderful GADA timepiece. Enjoy the wonderful review by Time & Tide.

• Seiko Caliber NH38: https://calibercorner.com/seiko-sii-caliber-nh38a/ This movement works wonderfully for mods. If you want a no b.s., GADA Seiko mod, I can’t recommend the NH38 enough. I have one in a Mil-Sub mod. It’s a workhorse and affordable.

• Rolex Explorer: https://www.rolex.com/en-us/watches/explorer/explorer  Arguably the most well-known iteration of a no-date watch. This, for me anyway, would find tons of wrist time—one of the most beautiful models I’ve held in my hand, regardless of era.  

• A Blog To Watch Article-New Release Zodiac x Craft+Tailored Super Sea Wolf LE: https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-zodiac-x-craft-tailored-super-sea-wolf-ref-691-limited-edition-watch/ Ripley Sellers runs us through the latest Limited Edition by Zodiac Watches. This 36mm harkens to Zodiacs of the past and looks good doing it. Also, it’s a no-date!
