Hodinkee Radio Interview

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ve noticed how over the last few years I’ve been learning more, and writing more, about watches. I consider myself a junior writer when it comes to horology so I was honestly surprised and so thankful to be featured on Hodinkee Radio this past week. For those who may not know, Hodinkee is the voice in the online world of watch journalism. But the interview didn’t come out of nowhere.

In my day job, I work as a show runner, writer and producer for Pacific Content, a company that makes podcasts with brands. I have been working on Teamistry, a documentary series about the chemistry of great teams in history. I was so excited, with the most recent episode, to tell the story of Seiko’s dueling factories in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. I learned an awful lot about this brand who’s watches I so love, while also uncovering new information and busting some myths. You can listen to the episode, and check out the series, here.

I originally contacted Hodinkee to tell them about the podcast because I know they regularly cover Seiko and the company’s history. Their podcast host, Stephen Pulverant and I share a lot of other interests, including menswear along with a friendship with writer and historian G. Bruce Boyer. So Stephen asked me on to talk about much more than Seiko.

The interview touches on my views on quality and longevity, my upcoming book and, of course, my own watch collection. You can listen here.
