Q&A And A New Seiko Chronograph With Blake Buettner And James Stacey

Today, we're chatting watches with our guest, watch journalist Blake Buettner. Blake's a veteran of watch media, having first contributed to Hodinkee in 2010. After that, he went on to work with StockX before becoming the Managing Editor of Worn & Wound. Nowawadays, you can find his writing in places like the Robb Report as well as his own project, The Deeptrack. We talk a bit about Blake's background, the early days of Hodinkee, and how he got into watches. But since he's old hat at this, James, Blake, and I mostly just kick back and talk watches – the new Seiko Speedtimer, exciting microbrands, all followed by a listener Q&A. A note that Hodinkee Radio will be adopting a summer schedule through the month of August. We're taking next week off, but we'll be back in your feed again before long. Until then, enjoy my discussion with Blake and James. Show Notes00:15: Blake's The Deep Track1:40: Reference Points: Understanding The Rolex Sea-Dweller4:11: Worn & Wound's Windup Watch Fair5:45: Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor6:20: Introducing: Oak & Oscar Atwood Chronograph6:50: AnOrdain Model 39:15: Introducing: Furlan Marri Disco Volante10:10: Hands-On: Autodromo Group C11:00: Autodromo Racing Team14:30: Inside The Manufacture: Parmigiani Fleurier16:10: Hands-On with the d.m.h.
