This week, host Stephen Pulvirent and HODINKEE Senior Writer James Stacey sit down with actor Keegan Allen. Keegan will be a familiar face to regular HODINKEE readers, since he was featured in an episode of Talking Watches a few months ago. Beyond his love of watches and his career as an actor, Keegan is an avid photographer, musician, podcast host, and poet. The guy does it all. If you want a reminder of the joy that things like watches, music, photography, and more can bring on a personal leve...

This week, we sit down with media exec and vintage Rolex enthusiast Scott Dadich. Scott got his start as creative director of Texas Monthly magazine before moving on to Condé Nast, where he would spend the decade from 2006 to 2016 reinventing Wired magazine. He's now a partner at Godfrey Dadich Partners, a creative agency that works with a diverse array of brands ranging from magazines like Wired and National Geographic to the Obama Foundation. It probably comes as no surprise, but in addition t...

This week, your host Stephen Pulvirent and HODINKEE editor Cara Barrett sit down with American menswear designer and entrepreneur Todd Snyder. Todd has been around and learned from the best at every stage of his career (think Ralph Lauren, the Gap, and J. Crew). He now runs his own eponymous label, which from the beginning put a distinctly American spin on wardrobe basics ranging from sweats to custom-tailored suits. Lucky for us, Todd is also a real watch guy, favoring exactly the kinds of watc...

This week, we sit down with one of the world's preeminent vintage watch dealers: Eric Ku. Despite his reputation, there's a lot more to Eric than rare, killer examples of mid-century Rolex watches. He's a dedicated patron of contemporary, independent watchmakers and it was actually Vianney Halter's Antiqua that first opened his eyes to the wonders of horology. The guy also knows a ton about food and enjoys a great glass of wine. He's someone who really understands the all important idea that wat...

When we decided to do a podcast, having Om on as an early guest was a no-brainer. He's probably best known to most people as the founder of GigaOm, one of the original tech blogs, but he's also written for nearly every outlet of note you can imagine, including the Wall Street Journal, the New Yorker, Forbes, and more. The guy is incredibly smart and thoughtful, without an ounce of pretension. But at the same time, he's got killer taste and a good sense of humor to balance everything out. In this...

In this episode of HODINKEE Radio, your host Stephen Pulvirent sits down with filmmaker Rian Johnson — director of movies like "Looper," "The Brothers Bloom," and "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." It also turns out that Rian is a true watch nerd, as this chat will prove. We met up in Los Angeles to talk about spotting cool watches in old movies, his creative process, and what watch he's hunting for next. Show Notes (9:05) Orson Welles' Paul Masson Commercial Outtakes (11:...

In this episode of HODINKEE Radio, your host Stephen Pulvirent sits down with New York Times best-selling author, HODINKEE Magazine contributor, and friend of the show Gary Shteyngart. Despite having only caught the watch collecting bug fairly recently, Gary has undeniably become a watch nerd of the highest order (he tans his own watch straps on the porch of his home in Upstate New York, for example). Together, they talk about his forthcoming novel, his thoughts on connoisseurship more generally...

We decided that there was only one way to kick this series off properly: We had to go back to the beginning. Your host Stephen Pulvirent sits down with HODINKEE founder and CEO Ben Clymer to talk about the early days of HODINKEE and to take a little trip down memory lane. Together, they revisit the good ole days and talk about things like how HODINKEE got started, how watch collecting has evolved over the last decade, and that one time Ben was late for a journalism class because he was hanging o...
