To begin with, the truth that we have made it by means of 10 problems with HODINKEE Journal is wild. And I believe this problem is our greatest but – with, once more, a dose of the old-school collector-focused content material in Jack’s Reference Factors on the AP Royal Oak “Jumbo” (which celebrates 50 years this yr) and Logan’s profile of Rexhep Rexhepi, which I really feel ought to turn into the definitive piece on the proficient younger watchmaker – plus some enjoyable, extra broadly approachable content material like a function on Emily Oberg (of Sporty and Wealthy), and a few proficient younger photographers. However my favourite among the many a number of nice items from Quantity 10 needs to be Danny Milton’s plea for us to easily cease utilizing the time period “device watch.” It does not sound like a lot, however belief me once I let you know it is only a great encapsulation of the kind of writing and wit that has made Danny a favourite amongst HODINKEE readers, and workers members. It is earnest, and pragmatic, but additionally calls out simply how foolish all of that is – and because the man who’s been saying for the previous 14 years that no person wants any of these items, Danny’s story on simply how un-useful device watches truly are actually hit house.
