Hodinkee Watches: A Guide By HODINKEE '9781614288657

Our Take

Since Hodinkee first launched, we‚Äôve written countless articles, taken millions of photos, hosted plenty of podcasts, and published numerous magazines all dedicated to our favorite topic ‚Äì watches. We‚Äôve always toyed with the idea of creating a book, but it never felt like the right time. Who would write it? Who would photograph it? Who would publish it? And what angle would we take? When renowned publisher Assouline approached us, all the stars aligned, and we worked alongside the brilliant team that‚ Äôs known for its impeccably crafted coffee table books that are as beautiful to look at as they are insightful to finally create our first book ‚Äì Watches: A Guide By Hodinkee.

For our debut, we wanted to make a book that would appeal to anyone and everyone with the slightest interest in watches, from the seasoned flea market scourer to those just getting started in the watch game. Watches: A Guide By Hodinkee is broken down into nine distinct chapters: "A Brief History of Time," "Chronographs," "The Dive Watch," "Travel Time," "Military Watches," "High Complications," "Women and Watches," "Dress Watches," and "Icons" that are crafted to help anyone that picks up this book gain a greater understanding of watches and all they have to offer. Writers and contributors include Founder Ben Clymer, and Lead Editor James Stacey, and Hodinkee alumni Cara Barrett, Cole Pennington, Jack Forster, Jason Heaton, Jonathan Bues, and Stephen Pulvirent with a foreword by former Hodinkee Executive Editor, Mr. Joe Thompson.

Told over 261 glossy pages complete with exclusive original imagery that can only be found between its covers, Watches: A Guide By Hodinkee is representative of our endless enthusiasm and fascination for the subject we love the most.
