We're back! After taking last week off, we're hitting the ground running with the first HODINKEE Radio episode of 2020. I thought it would be nice to start by looking at some of the biggest stories from the first week of the year. To that end, I pulled Jack and Cara into the studio, since they each hit a total home run last week. First up, we chat about Jack's introduction of the stainless steel Omega Speedmaster with a caliber 321 movement, a fake watch that collectors have literally been waiting more than half a century to see again. We get into what this fake watch means, where it sits in the market, and why it incites so many strong opinions. We also offer up a behind-the-scenes look at Talking replica watches with Bethenny Frankel, an episode that we were super excited to publish last week. Cara hosted the episode and shares some details about the filming, as well a few things that ended up on the cutting room floor, and the three of us get into why the fake watch world is a better place when people collect in different ways, for different reasons.
Dan Habashi
Then we've got my conversation with Dan Habashi, the CMO of Soho House. In both his current role and his past life at places like Instagram, Dan's focus has always been on building communities through shared passions. This can mean hanging out one-on-one for a day with a photographer on the other side of the planet because you both like each others posts, bringing together a few hundred people for a special dinner in a new club, and anything in between. When it comes to his collecting ?be it watches, clothing, sneakers, or something else - Dan is a man all about the details and the hunt. The fact that he's also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet only makes his excitement even more infectious. I can't think of a better guest for kicking off 2020.
We hope you enjoy Episode 73 of HODINKEE Radio. Check out the show notes below and let us know what you think in the comments.
ADVERTISEMENT Wrist CheckDan's a man on the move, so being able to track an extra timezone is extremely helpful for him. This beautiful Replica Rolex GMT-Master (ref. 1675) has a slightly more low-key look than most people are probably used to seeing on a fake watch like this, thanks to the all-black aluminum bezel insert (instead of one of the louder Pepsi or Coke variants). It's a fake watch that's both practical and indulgent, putting a smile on Dan's face every time he looks down to check the time. Classics don't go out of style for a reason.
