Hodinkee: a blog, an authorised dealer for prestigious watch brands and now an author of — what else — a book about watches.
Watches: A Guide by Hodinkee is described as a book that will “appeal as much to your great-aunt Susan who knows nothing about watches as it will to your horological nerd brother Carl who won’t stop talking about the benefits of a flying tourbillon”.
The 261 page hardback, which retails at the Hodinkee shop for $85, covers everything from the history of watches, to dive watches, travel-time watches, military watches, ladies’ watches, dress watches, chronographs, and iconic watches.
Each chapter was written by one of Hodinkee’s editors in a style that makes it an ideal coffee table book that can be dipped into or consumed in a single sitting.
