Ben Clymer Presents: Ep. 10 – The Bremont Episode With Davide Cerrato
For this final episode, Ben is joined by Davide Cerrato, the CEO of Bremont. Cerrato has had a long and successful career in the watch industry since starting at Panerai in 2004. He's probably best known for his tenure at Tudor, during which the brand relaunched in the United States and introduced the Black Bay line. But he's not all business; the jovial and well-dressed Italian brings his unique sense of style to the staid Swiss watch industry. After Tudor, he made stops at Montblanc and HYT before being announced as the CEO of Bremont in May 2023. The announcement came after billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and Hellcat Acquisitions LP invested $59 million in Bremont in a funding round that the Financial Times reported valued the company at more than £100 million.As Cerrato tells us, Bremont is gearing up for a "relaunch" of the brand at Watches & Wonders in April 2024 – the first time it'll exhibit at the annual trade show in Geneva. In this Ben Clymer Presents conversation, Cerrato tells us about his vision for Bremont and the opportunities he sees, his 20-plus years in watches, and a little bit of Italian tailoring. // Show Notes // 2:00: Road Through Britain Episode 3: Bremont Watch Company3:00: Bremont Names Industry Vet Davide Cerrato As New CEO3:00: Interview: New Bremont CEO Davide Cerrato On His Plans For The Brand, What It Means To Be Made In England, And Developing A Hero Product16:02: Introducing: The Bremont Wright Flyer26:10: The Bremont Martin Baker MBII27:00: Bremont Military Watches And Special Projects (via Bremont's website)28:28: The Bremont Ministry of Defense Collection33:10: Introducing: The Rexhep Rexhepi Chronometre Contemporain II36:55: In-Depth: Luminous Dials, What Makes Them Glow, And How To Spot Their Differences

John is an expert in all things vintage Patek, and the two talk about where the brand's auction fascination started and how that has been reflected in a broad collection of special references (think: 3700 to 5711, and the likes of the 5970, 3970, 3448, 5270, 5070 chronograph, and even the legendary 2499).It's a walk down memory lane as both Ben and John recall exciting moments in their history with Patek's watches alongside the more macro trends that have seen some references shine while others wait for a spot in the limelight.

In this episode, Ben sits down with Hodinkee editors Mark Kauzlarich and Tony Traina. After a morning of previewing the New York watch auctions at Sotheby's and Phillips, the three chat about the state of the market and watch auctions before jumping into their thoughts on some of the watches they saw in New York.

The Collector's Edition With Ben Clymer – Featuring Kevin Hart
Hodinkee Radio returns for the second installment of The Collector's Edition With Ben Clymer. Follow along with Hodinkee's founder as he speaks with notable friends and watch enthusiasts about what it means to be a collector. As you may recall, we launched the series last year with pop star Ed Sheeran. In this episode, we are thrilled to sit down with comedian, actor, producer, and serial entrepreneur Kevin Hart. If it seems like Hart is everywhere all the time, that's because he is – from the current "Reality Check" stand-up tour and the big screen in hits like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and The Secret Life of Pets to television ads for the likes of DraftKings and JPMorgan Chase. On top of that, he also runs a media company called HartBeat Productions. And on top of that – and what brings us here today – he's also a legit watch enthusiast.We caught up with Kevin at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, right before he was about to hit the stage for back-to-back "Reality Check" shows. We learned that his love of watches dates to the early days of his career and that over the years Submariners, Daytonas, Pateks, and Richard Milles adorned his wrist. Today, his collecting has evolved to the point where he has a partnership with Audemars Piguet. As a "friend of the brand," Kevin has access to some very special pieces, including the ceramic chronograph he famously leaked to the world and the piece he'll be wearing in the upcoming Netflix movie Lift.Show Notes: 0:27Kevin Hart0:30Ben Clymer0:56A stop on the "Reality Check" tour2:00Audemars Piguet4:57Rolex Submariner 166105:14Rolex Daytona 1165085:40Jacob the Jeweler6:25Richard Mille RM 0299:07Kevin's first Tourbillon: The Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Chronograph in Rose Gold 26223OR10:51Revealing the Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph "50th Anniversary" in Black Ceramic13:28Watch worn in the movie Lift14:05Chadwick Boseman and the AP x Marvel Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon17:58Royal Oak Openworked Extra-Thin "40th Anniversary" In Platinum18:46Kevin's car collection20:24Celebrity friends into collecting watches20:48Corey Gamble watch collection

The Many Ways Of The Seamaster
For this episode of Hodinkee Radio, I asked Danny to come on the show to talk about a couple of his latest projects, including his recent A Week On The Wrist with an updated but still old-school Omega and his excellent Talking Watches with Aly and AJ. We get into the many forms that the Seamaster has taken over the years, a breakdown of the new 300, some of our favorite references, and a behind-the-scenes chat about making a great episode of Talking Watches. Thanks so much for listening. Please note that this is the final episode before the show takes a short break for the remainder of the summer. We'll be back in early September with a brand new collection of fun and interesting conversations from the world of watches. Chat to you then.

Surveying The Field With The New Tudor Ranger
This week, I've rounded up Jack and Mark Kauzlarich for an in-depth chat about the new Tudor Ranger. Mark covered the launch of this latest sports model from Tudor for HODINKEE, Jack remains an owner of the preceding 79910 Ranger, and I also got a chance to see and photograph the new model on the day it was released, so all we had to do was plug in some microphones.From Mark's experience at a significant in-person watch launch to our combined thoughts on the spec, pricing, and market placement for the new Ranger, it's a nerdy look at a conventional yet somehow divisive new field watch from Tudor. Thanks so much for listening, I'll see you all in the comments.0:30 Hodinkee Insurance 2:00 The New Tudor Ranger 5:00 The 7808 Oyster Prince that survived the British North Greenland Expedition 9:00 Mark Kauzlarich 12:20 Julien Faure strap manufacture 19:01 The 2014 Tudor Ranger 22:20 The Tudor North Flag 41:20 Tudor Metas certification

Does A Longer Power Reserve Really Matter?
Lately, it seems that the offered length of power reserves has become a hot-button topic in watch-related discourse – but what do you need all those hours for? Are ~38 hours really not enough, especially in a casual or everyday sports watch? I never give total power reserve that much of a concern when it comes to divers and the like, but it's clear that the spec is of growing interest among watch enthusiasts.I asked Jack and Danny to plug in their mics and help me talk over this novel need for more and more hours. And from early 8-day Cartiers to Hublots that boast 50 days of power reserve (and require a drill to winding) we dig into the need for a longer power reserve, some of the bigger PRs in watchmaking history, and some of our favorite power reserve indications.-- Show Notes:00:30 Hodinkee Insurance 5:55 Powermatic 80 9:00 Vertex M60C Aqualion 10:43 Cartier 8-day Tank 12:56 Oris Caliber 400 14:18 Ulysse Nardin Freak14:25 IWC Big Pilot14:31 Jacob Quenttin 31 days 14:36 Lange 31 15:28 Richard Mille UP-01 Ferrari 15:44 Hublot MO-05 LaFerrari (it was 2013, I'm not getting younger) 17:55 New Breitling SuperOceans 21:50 Tudor North Flag 24:00 Maltese Cross Stop-Work (aka.

Consistency Vs. Variety In Watch Design (Rolex, Omega, and MB&F)
Some watch brands never seem to change, while others are constantly trying to re-invent what they do. That's the topic for this episode of HODINKEE Radio and I asked Jack, Danny, and Cole to weigh in with their perspectives on the concept of consistency vs. variety in watch design.As you can imagine, it's another loose and chatty episode that dips into the "Rolex method", brands that aren't afraid to break the mold, how many bands Greenday has actually been, and a whole bunch more.Thanks so much for listening, we'll catch you in the comments at Hodinkee.com.

Chopard And The Mille Miglia With Karl-Friedrich Scheufele And Jacky Ickx
Chopard's Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and race car driver Jacky Ickx on more than 30 years of a legendary automotive event.--This episode of HODINKEE Radio was recorded in Italy shortly before the start of the 40th running of the Mille Miglia, a modern recreation of an incredible 1000-mile race from Brescia to Rome and back to Brescia. Said to be the most beautiful race in the world, it ran from 1927 to 1957 and was then restored in 1977 as a regularity rally that plays host exclusively to cars from the original period. As you can imagine, it's become a banner event in the vintage car scene and for this episode, I was joined by Karl-Freidrich Scheufele and Jacky Ickx to chat about the event, the cars, and how Chopard has played a long-standing role in supporting the race. Karl-Friedrich is Chopard's Co-President (along with being a vintage car collector) and Jacky Ickx is a famous race car driver who has won Le Mans six times, drove in Formula One for Ferrari in the early '70s, won at Dakar, etc. The pair are long-time friends, and they first ran the Mille Miglia in 1989. We chat about how they met, what Mille Miglia means to the vintage car scene, why Chopard has been sponsoring the event for more than 30 years, and how the race has changed as it's been passed to the next generation. 2:20 Mille Miglia 9:27 Sterling Moss 1955 Mille Miglia 18:10 Mille Miglia History 19:42 Cannes Film Festival 28:07 Chopard Mille Miglia 2022 Race Edition

'Build' With Tony Fadell (The iPhone, Better Watches, and His New Book)
I'll cut right to the chase. This week's episode features a deep and very fun chat with none other than Tony Fadell. Widely known for being the man behind several game-changing products (like the iPod, the iPhone, and the Nest thermostat), Tony recently debuted his book "Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making". If you're making something or are part of a team that makes something, the book is a patient and thoughtful collection of lessors and considerations that Tony learned from his mentors and his own life experience. It's funny, insightful and full of interesting stories from Tony's time in Silicon Valley. With Jack as a co-host, we get into a handful of my questions about Build, how some of the lessons can apply to watches, and even the watch-focused way in which Tony celebrated the release of the book. I hope you enjoy the episode, and please consider picking up a copy of the book. All proceeds are being matched 5x by Tony before being added to the Build Climate Fund which seeks to invest in companies that are focusing on solutions for the ongoing global climate crisis. ---Show Notes: 00:05 Hodinkee Insurance 00:30 Tony Fadell 2:10 Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making 11:15 Nest 13:52 MB&F 13:53 Ressence 21:13 Tony On The Tim Ferris Show 23:48 Patek Nautilus Perpetual Calendar 5740 28:00 The Pocket Crystal 44:36 Impossible Foods 44:53 Diamond Foundry 47:45 Gravity Sketch 48:10 "How The World Really Works: How Science Can Set Us Straight On Our Past, Present, and Future" by Vaclav Smil 51:28 "The Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail" by Ray Dalio

The Grey NATO
This week it's three HODINKEE editors, two podcasts, and one awesome crossover episode. We sit down with the hosts of The Grey NATO podcast, HODINKEE editor-at-large Jason Heaton and senior writer James Stacey. We knew from the very beginning that getting these two guys on HODINKEE Radio to talk about why we all decided to make The Grey NATO part of the HODINKEE family was a no-brainer, but this conversation ended up being about much more than podcasts and adventure watches. Enjoy.

Stephanie Bednarek (Commercial Space Professional)
Stephanie Bednarek is both a space professional and a watch nerd. Her passion for space started early and she has worked in the business of space in quite a few capacities, both for government organizations and private companies. She realized she loved watches through a funny set of circumstances but has developed a diverse taste in watches that goes way beyond the models you're probably expecting (though she does still love a good Speedmaster). She also has a lot of thoughts about what the watch industry could do to get more women interested in the hobby and she’s not afraid to let them know.

Winners are chosen across a variety of categories, including things like complications, sports watches, best watch under CHF 6,500, etc. We thought it would be fun to get a few of our editors together in the studio ahead of the awards ceremony to give our thoughts on the 72 short-listed watches, so Ben, Cara, Jon, and I each picked our own winners and debated the finer points of what separates the best from the rest.

Michael Weisberg (Vintage Expert)
To call Michael Weisberg a watch dealer doesn’t really do him justice. In addition to selling watches (and really damn good ones, I might add), he also deals in vintage design and furniture, classic cars, art, and more. From classic Rolex sport watches or rare Prouvé chairs, Sol Lewitt wall drawings or a vintage Ferrari, Michael is your guy. We sat down with Michael in LA to talk his career path, the state of the collecting community, and how his various interests all intersect. Enjoy.

Ted Gushue (Photographer, Car Guy)
There really is nobody quite like Ted Gushue. He could be described as a "man of sort-of-leisure." He works hard – really hard, in fact – but at the kinds of things that most probably wouldn't consider work at all. Ted is currently something of a nomad, traveling the world taking pictures with his Leica M10, driving the coolest cars from nearly ever era of automotive history, and helping brands reach new audiences. To say Ted's got a dream job would be something of an understatement. He sat down with HODINKEE Founder Ben Clymer and host Stephen Pulvirent for this conversation. Enjoy.

Jason Fried (Founder, Basecamp)
This week we're talking to Jason Fried— co-founder of Basecamp and New York Times best-selling author. Jason has a mostly cerebral approach to watches. He was first drawn in as a kid, but it was coming to understand them as complex feats of design and analog companions that turned him into a real watch lover. Hearing him talk about watches, you wonder how anyone in their right mind could resist this strange little hobby we all enjoy so much. We also get into Jason's new book new book, “It Doesn’t Have To Be Crazy At Work.” Enjoy.

Keegan Allen (Actor, Pretty Little Liars)
This week, host Stephen Pulvirent and HODINKEE Senior Writer James Stacey sit down with actor Keegan Allen. Keegan will be a familiar face to regular HODINKEE readers, since he was featured in an episode of Talking Watches a few months ago. Beyond his love of watches and his career as an actor, Keegan is an avid photographer, musician, podcast host, and poet. The guy does it all. If you want a reminder of the joy that things like watches, music, photography, and more can bring on a personal level, just listen and I think you'll pick it up pretty quickly. Enjoy.

Scott Dadich (Media Exec, WIRED)
This week, we sit down with media exec and vintage Rolex enthusiast Scott Dadich. Scott got his start as creative director of Texas Monthly magazine before moving on to Condé Nast, where he would spend the decade from 2006 to 2016 reinventing Wired magazine. He's now a partner at Godfrey Dadich Partners, a creative agency that works with a diverse array of brands ranging from magazines like Wired and National Geographic to the Obama Foundation. It probably comes as no surprise, but in addition to having a taste for great clothes, classic design, and delicious food, Scott is something of a watch guy. Enjoy.

Todd Snyder (Menswear Designer)
This week, your host Stephen Pulvirent and HODINKEE editor Cara Barrett sit down with American menswear designer and entrepreneur Todd Snyder. Todd has been around and learned from the best at every stage of his career (think Ralph Lauren, the Gap, and J. Crew). He now runs his own eponymous label, which from the beginning put a distinctly American spin on wardrobe basics ranging from sweats to custom-tailored suits. Lucky for us, Todd is also a real watch guy, favoring exactly the kinds of watches you'd expect. He's a super fun, humble guy, and someone we could listen to for hours. In this episode, we talk heritage, learning your craft, and how to make watches an integral part of your wardrobe. Enjoy.

Eric Ku (Vintage Watch Expert)
This week, we sit down with one of the world's preeminent vintage watch dealers: Eric Ku. Despite his reputation, there's a lot more to Eric than rare, killer examples of mid-century Rolex watches. He's a dedicated patron of contemporary, independent watchmakers and it was actually Vianney Halter's Antiqua that first opened his eyes to the wonders of horology. The guy also knows a ton about food and enjoys a great glass of wine. He's someone who really understands the all important idea that watches are best enjoyed as part of a life well-lived, and it was a pleasure sitting down to talk to him for this show. Enjoy.

Om Malik (Founder, GigaOm)
When we decided to do a podcast, having Om on as an early guest was a no-brainer. He's probably best known to most people as the founder of GigaOm, one of the original tech blogs, but he's also written for nearly every outlet of note you can imagine, including the Wall Street Journal, the New Yorker, Forbes, and more. The guy is incredibly smart and thoughtful, without an ounce of pretension. But at the same time, he's got killer taste and a good sense of humor to balance everything out. In this episode, your host Stephen Pulvirent and HODINKEE Founder and CEO Ben Clymer sit down with Om for a conversation about watches, photography, journalism, and much more. Enjoy.

Together, they revisit the good ole days and talk about things like how HODINKEE got started, how watch collecting has evolved over the last decade, and that one time Ben was late for a journalism class because he was hanging out at Jay-Z’s house.
