The winter holidays are coming up fast, and if you're anything like me you're trying to get those last few names crossed on your your gift list. Luckily, we're here to help. I pulled Cara, James, and Jon into the studio for a little gift guide game that our producer Grey put together for us. Ever played Apples To Apples or Cards Against Humanity? No? It doesn't matter, to be honest. Give the episode a listen and you'll pick up on what we're putting down pretty quickly. We've got suggestions at all kinds of price points and for different kinds of people too, so whether you're shopping for a watch-loving best friend or a colleague who thinks a movement is part of a symphony, there's something here for everyone (even for yourself, if that wish list isn't locked down quite yet).
After that, we've got a conversation that Jack had with independent watchmaker Joshua Shapiro when he was in New York City to lecture at the Horological Society of New York. If you're not familiar with Shapiro's work, you definitely need to check it out. He does old-school, craft-driven watchmaking that's unlike anything else out there. His specialty is guilloché dial work, and he has even invented his own, brand new guilloché patter, called the "infinity weave." As you'd expect, he and Jack get really into the weeds and their chat is a fun look at a part of the watchmaking industry that doesn't often get much attention.
We hope you enjoy Episode 70 of HODINKEE Radio. Check out the show notes below and let us know what you think in the comments.
