The Watch I Wore Most In 2022, By Members Of The Hodinkee Family

Before we transition into the new year and dive into even more exciting things to come, a final, more personal reflection took place here at Hodinkee. Our staff banded together from New York City to Atlanta, to Canada, and even Japan to take part in a beloved year-end tradition: sharing the watches they wore most this year.

glad many of these folks have real connections to their watches. being in the industry, it must be easy to get distracted with all the access to so many watches

[@davidb9531]

The vibe I got was that they weren’t that into watches just part of a corporate machine attempting to find meaning within a soulless escapade

Call me a geek, but last year’s edition inspired me to track what watch I wore every day for 2022. The results: Speedmaster - 79 days Cartier Santos - 78 Grand Seiko Cherry Blossom - 61 Sinn U50 - 51 Breitling Superocean - 45 Rolex Explorer - 23 (purchases Q4) Citizen The Citizen - 21 Then several watches with just a little wrist time.

i think ur a geek

100% expected Rado to wear a Rado

[@MrLoek4]

I genuinely laughed out loud when that Orient lit up. Still makes me chuckle every time I think of it

Does the light use a battery or somehow charges with the rotor?

I was getting nervous that Hodinkee wasn’t doing this video this year. Whew….. This is always one of my favorites and look forward to it each year!

[@michelinii2311]

Refreshing to see so few Rolexes. Even Hublots would be more exciting.

[@BulletBeena]

"Long Jeans"

[@AddisonDelage]

That Hodinkee Zenith is a beautiful watch. I forgot how great that dial looked. Thanks for the video

[@ondreiii]

Great to see a diverse range of watch brands they're wearing and their personal attachment to the watch is refreshing to listen.

[@JamesIdentity]

Patek 5110 probably wins the day!

[@Calspro]

I always look forward to these videos each year, missed a bit of the "home movie" feel of years passed with more production on this one, but what a wonderful year and excited for more Hodinkee.

[@Enrico-]

"home movie" such as?

[@unclekrconzh85]

My most worn watch in 2022. was a seiko 5 sport srpd55. Got it in November of 2021. and worn it everyday for a year straight. It helped me understand the importance of the day/date window and it’s use in everyday life.

[@azeezoyewale3782]

Great to see all the difference in taste & overall enjoyment of each individual's watch. Lovely~

[@Breca]

Myles just fell in love with your watch recently, the Ralph Lauren chrono. Beautiful watch ! 2nd Masaharu's Patek 3rd Jeff's omega. Great video nice to see staff and what they like. Thanks Hodinkee !

[@larryp.450]

Great variety and fun video. Thank you!

[@sumitkar8146]

Wishing the Hoodinkee family a Very Happy 2023 - Here’s to continued success and great content - my most worn watch in 2022 was the 3861 Hesalite Speedmaster

[@alan72727]

I remember when HODINKEE wasn’t so corporate/commercialized, and you knew everyone because they were all writers and contributed to content. Now, it seem that most employees that were highlighted are backend employees that help consumers buy/sell a watch.

[@theartstraveler]

EXACTLY!

[@sheahart7305]

It’s somewhat sad that year after year you don’t see the same faces. Could be a good thing, highlighting those not front and center. Or a bad, constant turnover. Congrats to these people on accomplishment and happiness in their position.

[@zrb901]

It’s a sign of success. Stop being a hater

[@alan72727]

@@zrb901 Not being a hater, Zach. My comment was a mere observation of the evolution of HODINKEE. Not everyone was into watches when HODINKEE first came out. It happens to many company in every industry. If you’re on this earth long enough, you get to observe these evolutions. My hate is towards myopic comments. 😉

[@EthanRom]

I mean Hodinkee is technically a watch dealer so yes they do sell watches

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

Masa and Sekiguchi-san! Love their Cartier and Patek. And to all, amazing watches.

Never let the missus give you a watch ultimatum. Happy 2023

[@farragutspikes1]

Mine was my Bell & Ross 03-92 Diver. So versatile. I teach in it, coach two sports in it, can take it anywhere and do anything with it. Basically didn't take it off all year.

[@dtac_10_29]

For 2022, I wore my Omega Seamaster 2541.00 quartz, which Pierce Brosnan wore during his 1st film as 007, the most. This is sort of a "birth year" watch for me and I remember I have always wanted to own one when I was a kid.

[@mt24Carson]

Great video. Happy New Year. ⌚👍🍷🍸🥃🥳

[@aficionadosYT]

The watch i wore this year most is my cartier tank solo... BUT...in December 14 I finally got my MIDO x Hodinkee ocean star GMT,and now i wear it with nylon strap (number 630) Its just incredible...Happy New Year dear Hodinkee team...🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

All over there are some cool watches with stories and sentiments attached to it, It’s so nice to see various styles in narration, videotaking , and presentation in the video by H staff.
