Not a lot of hockey news lately, folks. But Jason Demers, Adnan Virk and Nate Thompson found plenty to talk about, including Canada's dominant finish at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, Viggo Bjorck's potential to make the Jets and Ville Koivunen's shocking contract. Then Ben Clymer comes by to talk about winning a Cup in Tampa, Alex Ovechkin's first training camp and how he went back to college to become a financial planner. Finally, the guys share their summer movie picks and review the recent NHL.com position rankings. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on The Business of Watches , we're in Geneva marking 50 years of Raymond Weil and an in-depth conversation with Chief Executive Officer, Elie Bernheim. At a time when much of the market is premiumizing and moving upscale, Raymond Weil is leaning in to its value-driven, Swiss-made heritage, producing approachable-priced timepieces that celebrate half a century of watchmaking and design. Bernheim gives us a rundown of the brand's history, and talks about the " The Fifty" , a limited edition version of its wildly popular Millesime that utilizes a new-old-stock Valjoux chronograph caliber from 1976 (of course). There's also a touring exhibition of heritage museum pieces highlighting some of the brand's most compelling watch designs, and, breaking news - they're opening a new Raymond Weil boutique in Geneva's Old Town, giving the company retail presence in the heart of the city that is the center of Switzerland's watch industry. It's a milestone year for the brand, and Bernheim gives us the insight as to how Raymond Weil has met the challenges and stayed relevant to become a critical part of the industry landscape. Building on the recent success of the Millesime collection, the company is positioning itself for another half-century and beyond. But first Ben Clymer stops by to talk about what is probably the biggest new watch release so far this year, Rexhep Rexhepi's new flyback chronograph, the RRCHF. Ben tells us how this timepiece raises the bar and sets a new standard for independent watchmakers. He talks about pricing and how the chronograph compares to some of the other most important names in fine watchmaking. It's bonus content on top of his 6,000-word in-depth take on the RRCHF.

Today marks the 50th episode of the Hairspring podcast, for which Erik & Max are extremely honored to be joined by Ben Clymer, founder of Hodinkee. In a very candid and wide-ranging chat, we cover the arc of Hodinkee so far, Ben as a collector today, and his dream unlimited-budget 3 watch collection—amongst much else. This includes thoughts on what’s wrong with influencers, views on condition, and just how handsome Rexhep actually is. This was both a privilege and a real joy to record. 50 episodes ago, we couldn’t have imagined how great a time we’d have both making this and hearing how you all interface with our meandering nonsense. Fifty more absurd debates and Only Wrists coming at you shortly, thank you for the ride and a special thanks to Ben here for taking the time. Enjoy.

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.

Today marks a special day as we had the privilege of interviewing Ben Clymer, the founder of Hodinkee. Ben and Hodinkee have always been our guiding light; his vision and passion have inspired all of us and driven us to create Perpetual Passion. Meeting Ben in Geneva, we discussed the latest trends from Watches & Wonders, analyzed the industry's evolution over the past 15 years, and shared conversations as only two true enthusiasts can. We are incredibly proud and excited to have hosted Ben Clymer in our Watch Talks today.

Ben Clymer writes an article about the future of Hodinkee where he wants to harness what the “old Hodinkee” was for the watch community. Omega releases a new watch for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The latest MoonSwatch inspired by the Blue Moon phenomena. You can find us on our Website , YouTube , Instagram , X , and Facebook Check out Life on the Wrist Merch!

Get access to the full episode on our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/ben-clymer Aarron fell down a rabbit hole when the Apple Watch came out. He knew nothing about watches, their design history and the immense investment of human effort it’s taken to engineer accurate timepieces until he bought an Apple Watch. He loves wearing a watch, but notifications and tracking caused him to abandon it for something simpler and mechanical. Anyone curious about watches will inevitably end up at Hodinkee.com, the premier publication about watches and the rich culture around them. Hodinkee was founded by Ben Clymer, who found his way into watches when his grandfather gave him the Omega watch right off his wrist. It sparked not only a deep passion for watches, but a company that has built a community of enthusiasts around the world. You might be thinking, watches are a strange topic for Design Better to cover. But they represent a beautiful intersection of design and technology that has been pursued for centuries. They’re also one of the few trans-generational objects in our lives that connect us with the people we love, as Ben Clymer shared with us in our conversation. We spoke with Ben about consulting with Jony Ive on Apple’s watch design, Jony’s deep dive into horology, how Ben went about creating such a compelling content brand, and his journey from being a founder and CEO back to being an individual contributor to the company he started. Bio Benjamin Clymer is widely considered to be a leading voice in the wristwatch industry. He is regularly quoted in major publications including The New York Times, Reuters, Forbes, Departures, GQ, and the Financial Times, and was dubbed “The High Priest of Horology” by The New York Times in 2013. Benjamin has acted as a consultant and guest speaker for Apple, and was named to “The Hypebeast Hundred” as one of the 100 most important influencers in global culture in both 2013 and 2014. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better ( learn more in the announcement here ).

Ben Clymer, the founder and executive chairman of Hodinkee, the site for watch aficionados, was my guest on Sunday April 21. (For the occasion, he was wearing a G-Shock that he designed.) I sat next to Ben at a dinner in Geneva on the eve of the Watches & Wonders fair. He had a packed week coming up but was nonetheless very relaxed, fun and witty. I invited him to the show and am very happy that he agreed to participate. We spoke about how he started blogging back in 2008, built a community and nailed the mix editorial content/community/retail.

For this final episode, Ben is joined by Davide Cerrato, the CEO of Bremont. Cerrato has had a long and successful career in the watch industry since starting at Panerai in 2004. He's probably best known for his tenure at Tudor, during which the brand relaunched in the United States and introduced the Black Bay line. But he's not all business; the jovial and well-dressed Italian brings his unique sense of style to the staid Swiss watch industry. After Tudor, he made stops at Montblanc and HYT before being announced as the CEO of Bremont in May 2023. The announcement came after billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and Hellcat Acquisitions LP invested $59 million in Bremont in a funding round that the Financial Times reported valued the company at more than £100 million. As Cerrato tells us, Bremont is gearing up for a "relaunch" of the brand at Watches & Wonders in April 2024 – the first time it'll exhibit at the annual trade show in Geneva. In this Ben Clymer Presents conversation, Cerrato tells us about his vision for Bremont and the opportunities he sees, his 20-plus years in watches, and a little bit of Italian tailoring. // Show Notes // 2:00: Road Through Britain Episode 3: Bremont Watch Company 3:00: Bremont Names Industry Vet Davide Cerrato As New CEO 3:00: Interview: New Bremont CEO Davide Cerrato On His Plans For The Brand, What It Means To Be Made In England, And Developing A Hero Product 16:02: Introducing: The Bremont Wright Flyer 26:10: The Bremont Martin Baker MBII 27:00: Bremont Military Watches And Special Projects (via Bremont's website) 28:28: The Bremont Ministry of Defense Collection 33:10: Introducing: The Rexhep Rexhepi Chronometre Contemporain II 36:55: In-Depth: Luminous Dials, What Makes Them Glow, And How To Spot Their Differences

For the 9th installment of Ben Clymer Presents, Ben sits down with pro golfer Keith Mitchell, who is known not only for his golfing ability but also for his sense of style and his deep love of watches. Ben and Keith dig into everything from Keith's training to his family history in watches and what he brought in a watch roll to the recording to special creations from Laurent Ferrier, the pros and cons of playing with blades, and some extra cool references from Patek Philippe. // Show Notes // 00:20 Keith Mitchell Instagram 1:55 The PGA Tour 11:58 Fourtane Jewellers in Carmel 12:40 Rolex Explorer II 16550 15:20 Laurent Ferrier 20:07 Patek Philippe Calatrava 2526 21:44 Rolex Daytona 16519 24:17 Patek Philippe 5320g QP Salmon Dial 28:50 Rolex Daytona 116508 32:01 John Mayer Talking Watches 2 34:30 Cartier Tank 35:20 Titleist 681T Irons 36:00 Mizuno MP 4 Iron 37:00 Mizuno MP 29 37:17 Mizuno Pro 241 38:27 Miura 41:20 L.A.B Putters 44:40 Patek Philippe 2438-1 (arabic) 45:04 Patek Philippe 2497 45:50 Patek Philippe 2497 white gold, engraved 47:16 Patek Philippe 2499

Ben Clymer , the founder of Hodinkee and Fairgame Golf , hops aboard the Train to unpack the crazy connection between watches and golf, identifies golf brands that are just like certain watch brands, what brings Ben confidence on the course like a watch does in every day life, and how Ben's mindset of "Just happy to be here" is the key to everything.

John is an expert in all things vintage Patek, and the two talk about where the brand's auction fascination started and how that has been reflected in a broad collection of special references (think: 3700 to 5711, and the likes of the 5970, 3970, 3448, 5270, 5070 chronograph, and even the legendary 2499). It's a walk down memory lane as both Ben and John recall exciting moments in their history with Patek's watches alongside the more macro trends that have seen some references shine while others wait for a spot in the limelight. We hope you love the episode – a big thanks to John for coming on the show; you can find more of his work at Collectability.com .

In this episode, Ben sits down with Hodinkee editors Mark Kauzlarich and Tony Traina. After a morning of previewing the New York watch auctions at Sotheby's and Phillips, the three chat about the state of the market and watch auctions before jumping into their thoughts on some of the watches they saw in New York. There's a discussion of vintage Patek and Rolex – including the collection of one collector beloved by the community – but also other brands, indies, and even our favorite Richard Milles. At the end of it all, the trio pick their favorite watches that they saw, as well as the lots they'll be watching to get a gauge on the state of the auction market. Sotheby's Important Watches auction takes place on December 7, and Phillips New York Auction: Nine happens on December 9–10. Both have public previews at their New York locations prior to the sale.

Today’s guest is none other than Ben Clymer, Chairman & Founder of Hodinkee. As someone whose background and company need no introduction, I figured we could dive right into all things collecting, both watches and cars. See, Ben’s been around the block a few times and it’s easy to not get jaded. So what’s keeping Ben interested these days is what I really wanted to know. We talk about the grail Talking Watches guests and why it’s not just about being a collector, but having the passion to do so. Of course we dive into his passion for car collecting and his elusive, one of only nine, Porsche Zagato 356’s. We also talk about the coachbuilder themselves and why they are so sought after and important. A recent father of two, Ben’s collecting looks a tad bit different these days. Still chasing the same things for himself, but two little ones as well, all in good taste. Alright, let’s get to it. This is Ben Clymer, for Collectors Gene Radio.

From pioneering sustainable packaging to partnering with brands using Fairmined gold and recycled materials, sustainability is woven into Hodinkee's products and experiences. Join us for a good time, as we unravel the fascinating world of watches and a progressive view on sustainability–where thoughtfulness and curiosity lead to more efficient operations, improved customer experiences, and a smaller environmental footprint.
