Actor Daniel Dae Kim On His Watch Collecting Journey Since Talking Watches | House of Craft

This week, we have a chat with Daniel Dae Kim - actor, director, producer, and serious "watch guy." His episode of Talking Watches is one of the most viewed of all time and is a testament to his personal magnetism and impressive taste in watches. A lot has happened since we last chatted with Kim in 2019, so you won't want to miss this discussion about the direction his watch collecting journey has taken.

Love to always hear Daniel Dae Kim. He is a true watch collector and you can see the passion he has about timepieces. Please have him back on soon.

[@VMIyanks04]

Daniel made 2 excellent points that really resonated with me: (1) to buy something after working really hard, having to save up for it over time, and/or for a special occasion makes the watch infinitely more special; and (2) Discerning whether I just want the watch now as an impulse, or is it something I want forever. Excellent interview! Thank you!

[@GreenerGrass]

LOVED this conversation. This is what our hobby is all about! Thanks for posting, Hodinkee!

[@donnie.smith.5]

What a pleasure to listen to these two!

[@drticzon]

Nice to see another person who appreciates the Seiko Pogue, which has been my everyday watch for 48 years.

[@rakuyobonsai]

The best House of Craft video yet!

[@ryangochuico]

Awesome segment. I love Daniel's answers ❤

[@crockett888]

well spoken. articulate. one of my favourite actors.

[@oneal14attnet]

Talking watches alum that never disappoints. Fun conversation. Stop worrying about what other people think and buy what interests you. The frenzied 2022s are over. Kick back and work with ADs you like and drop the rest. The.n enjoy your collection worry free!

[@timur9429]

Give us Daniel Dae Kim Talking watches Two 🙏

[@Sebastian85]

How can Daniel Dae Kim be 56 years old? He could be right out of the Lost series. :O

[@FretWiredJournal]

Excellent. Thank you!

[@algernonwolfwhistle6351]

I enjoyed this. Thanks.

[@Ilikeavocados822]

this was so nice.

[@rxl77]

Great talk.

[@marcobrondani]

just entered a Rolex AD and came out with a Submariner 126613LN. No waiting list, no pre-agreements. It was a big surprise and a big Christmas gift

[@GrahamKerr.RealEstate]

Congrats! Had that offered to me on my last visit to my AD a couple weeks ago too.

[@KeepingWatchUK]

It’s the two-tone version… no real demand for it that’s why. But if you like that’s all that matters! 🎄

[@Mr_KnifeGuy]

I want to know if he has the Daytona he wore in the series Lost.

[@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78]

So relatable

[@AliAbbasiYTP]

in 2024 why is there still not a 4k workflow at Hodinkee

[@atis23]

It looks fine to me. Does everything really have to be 4k?

[@larry.l]

@@atis23hmm it doesn’t have to be, but for an operation as big and prominent as hodinkee it is expected to a certain extent I reckon.

[@qchang09]

I get the feeling most of us are working while listening to (and watching) this anyway.

[@danisils1418]

Daniel Dae Kim ❤❤❤❤❤

[@bussikuski]

Hodinkee keeping up connecting with them common folk

[@blakslee720]

For me 13:45 is where it gets really good

[@imiraperera697]

I see only 260 viwes for the moment, and can be the only one yet from a corner of south asia. Watches are always my dream.

[@11Greendog]

I feel like "luxury" watch collecting has lost some of its sub-culture cache.

[@watchPaige]

Second

[@cimecar1]

2:46 it starts talking about watches

[@james12361224]

No watches huh?

[@donwarner6925]

Nope. None at all. Can you handle that?
