The Space Shuttle era was characterized by the emergence of the first reusable spacecraft along with humanity building the largest structure ever outside our atmosphere, the International Space Station. It was an era of incredible achievement. Collectively, the shuttles Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Endeavor, and Atlantis orbited the earth 21,152 times and covered 542,398,878 miles. Astronauts from 16 different nations have flown on shuttle missions. Dr. David Williams is one of them. For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.com/articles/tal...

Honestly one of the coolest Hodinkee videos yet. This is what every watch collector, especially someone who collects 'tool watches', longs for. To develop a story, a connection, and a history with their pieces that add more value to them than just the sticker price. Not only has this guy lived an incredible life, but he brought all these along with him and they already mean more than the logo on the dial.

Being a Canadian and and a passionate Seiko Collector, this is the best hodinkee episode in the history of Talking Watches. Being reminded that the watches are not only things to be desired but more importantly watches are tools to get work done accompanying us through our ups and downs and those cherished moments is just truly amazing. I have a collection of watches now but my father's seiko 5 superior still holds a special place in my heart.

By far my favourite episode , gives a totally different insight into watches or whatever has meaning to you . It’s about meaning and memories , not about how rare something is or how collectible it is . Collecting things should be about you and not what others may think , otherwise it becomes more about what others think and not what you actually feel yourself.

This brought tears in my eyes. As an ex Airline pilot, there is no substitute to seeing the planet from above. Flying at 3 am and looking down, there is only the dark figures of the land compared to the ocean. It's a spectacular view especially when you are going to land in the early hours of the morning. Viewing the sun rise, makes you feel like you are only a small speck compared to the planet you lived in. At 35,000 feet, there are no differences between a mansion or a small house, because everything looks tiny and couldn't be differentiated at that height. Imagine an astronaut above the world and the experience above it... it's spectacular to say the least... All praise to God the Almighty.
