The Watch I Wore Most In 2024, By Members Of The Hodinkee Family

[@Lintybaybay]

The 2nd guy with the Blancpain is an absolute legend

[@teammacnamara5320]

Agreed!! I want one but they are soooo overpriced in the UK

[@moritzveltmann8115]

Coolest watch by a mile.

[@Greggieboy76]

@@teammacnamara5320 One of the most perfect watches ever designed imho.

[@stevenoasis1]

Jason Heaton is indeed a legend. Grey Nato is arguably one of the best watch pods out there. (Alongside the great James Stacey also).

[@RubbelisPro]

Entirely! In a world of now Cartier and Rolex sport watches, it's nice to see a Blancpain in the mix.

He is a clown. Hodinkee is so out of touch.

[@Guygachelin]

That Berneron Mirage took my breath away. What a master piece! The Otsuka Lotec reminds me that art should never be created based on what people will like but rather on what the artist loves. It's phenomenal. Thanks for sharing guys.

[@razaimamwasti]

Benyamine Clymer so full of himself! Federico should sit on him in ‘25 and shut him up for good!

[@guillemcorberocarreres2498]

Jason heaton!!!! Happy to see him included!

[@drlawyc]

“Hello. I am Yu” Had me there for a sec. Happy New Year!!!

Wow, that Serica is a great looking watch, and I kind of like the fact that the name is omitted from the face.

[@mmccumby1]

A nice mix of people and watches. No hate for the high end pieces just like there is no hate for those for the more budget conscious. That’s what this hobby is all about. I personally started “low” and over the years have been blessed to able to go “high”. Nothing wrong with either! Happy New Year!

[@bastienpotentier]

Quelle surprise!! 😂

[@stephenrhodes3916]

My faves are the Patek & Cartier. Classic watches never go out of fashion.

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

So great to see the whole team, including from Japan! Wonderful video Ben and everyone🎉

[@randybrickson4290]

Some nice pieces. The pick of the litter is the '67 Carrera.

[@garyleivers9194]

i've got the black version and I confirm the date window location simultaneously solicits both frustration and a wry smile....

[@nikr1d3r32]

And yet they repeat the same mistake again recently with the new releases 😂 love the watch tho.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

😂no

[@joshuawatson1604]

Huge congrats to James on the Editor and Chief role. Some fantastic time pieces and memories, looking forward to what 2025 has to offer.

[@remus2001]

I understand if some people wear watches without setting the correct date or moon phase. But if you’re wearing a watch without setting the correct time, you’re not wearing a watch but a decorative bracelet.

[@ianforber]

That’s fine though. They are jewellery after all. I always set the right time but my wife wore her (quartz) watch for months before telling me the battery had run out. YMMV.

[@masanobuyamamoto6395]

That’s why Malaika is my least favorite person in Hodinkee. It’s nothing wrong for covering jewelry aspect in the watch industry for your job but when she said Rolex is not luxury on recent podcast, I lost it😑 And in this video she said something like not setting the right time on her explorer, it’s all jewelry for her now. Better leave Hodinkee and work for fashion magazine woman 😒

[@joeg9478]

Precisely.

[@tuliosouza8973]

Its like working for a car magazine, not knowing how to drive and then buying a car because to just sit in and listen to music. I feel sad for that watch

[@cutdepiefails6596]

The Mirage is such a wonderful beautiful object.

[@mpetry912]

some great selections here ! happy new year ! Also @Jason Heatley, you know Jacques Coustea wore a Blancpain 50 Fathoms - before COMEX haha

[@sackman1886]

Starting out with a TGN bang! 1. James 2. Sarah 3. Jason...

[@ChrisSheridan295]

So Ben has a 200k watch but still puts out that sweet 144p quality segment? C'mon dude

[@MasaharuWada]

Thank you so much all😊

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Happy New Year Everyone 🎉 I'm not sure which Watch i wore the most but I'm glad i found the Watch community and made some great friends and memories .

[@masterwatch]

Ben Clymer and his G-Shock & Daytona.. Good lad.

Man I want that Hodinkee titanium Longines Zulu Time 😫

[@boogiemanfunk]

same

[@ianforber]

I like these type of videos, so much so that I’ve created a spreadsheet to track which watch I’m wearing each day. I usually cycle through my watches every 1-2 weeks so I suspect they’ll come out about even as I have 4 watches. Sad I know.

[@yugosat_watches]

Great video y’all! 🎉❤

[@turbyoulance]

The watch I wore the most this year was the Erebus Ascent Purple fume. The second most worn is the POEDAGAR Patek Philipe Homage in emerald Green . If I could afford it it would be the Omega Speedmaster white version . I live in the Australian State of Tasmania and we don't have a Rolex store in the state which is good because I am not attracted to any of them and I am not like my Father who owns 5 of them , but never wears any of them ........lolol He wear a VC

[@Watchfreak1]

Love the FF of Jason Heaton!!!

[@KelvinReiChannel]

In the past, people showcased their personality and individuality through their choice of phones and cars. However, since the introduction of the iPhone in 2008, nearly everyone now owns a smartphone that looks virtually identical. Similarly, as cars transition to electric due to regulations, they are losing much of their distinctiveness. I strongly believe that in the future, mechanical watches will be the last significant item people can use daily to express their individuality and personality. Hopefully, media outlets like Hodinkee will play a key role in ensuring that future generations continue to value and enjoy mechanical watches as we do today.

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Well Said 👍

[@magnusbell5410]

I think clothes are a big one for expression of individuality too and I can’t see that changing soon really.

[@kmc2317]

Although I still hope for a return to the pre-pandemic article form of the The Watch I Wore the Most, I get why it's more apt doing a video versiom instead Also missing some old-timers who have since left... Jack of course, Stephen, Jon Bues as they always had interesting picks. Having said that, I wish Ben, James, and the whole team Hodinkee the best in the coming years! Cheers! P.S. My most worn for this year is probably my Rolex "Pepsi" 126710 BLRO in Jubillee i own more interesting watches but it's the Pepsi that has been my default when I don't have a specific outfit and timepiece to match in mind.

[@jh-il5sb]

didn't ben pick up the yellow gold lemans as well?

[@thestu21]

Really nice Seiko!

[@hansakselos4636]

As an avid listener to TGN I would not though that Jason’s most worn watch was the Blancpain. FXD yes, Blancpain no. As for James, definitely the P39. Guess they’re not being honest here or in the podcast.

[@ronnienes]

I think it’s just them being on brand for Hodinkee, a business. Remain calm.

[@hansakselos4636]

@ ha-ha. I’m pretty calm Ronnie! And I totally agree. But that’s the point. Instead of being honest, they try to promote Hodinkee colabs and Blancpain as a sponsor for themselves and for Hodinkee. Instead of telling what they really wear the most. So the whole thing is pretty pointless.

[@ronnienes]

@@hansakselos4636fair. I choose to believe that TGN is the real deal.

[@mikemurphy8996]

The Berneron from J.G is a flex. Cool watch though.

funny when hodinkee president say " minus the hype"

[@kresimirpleic]

Some of these job titles would lead me to believe these people could barely afford a Seiko or a Longines. But here they are wearing Blancpain, Cartier, Rolex, Patek Philippe and so on... Do they really make that much or are they in debt to their eyeballs? Anyway, some I saw really cool wathes here. Absolutely love the Habring. Goldberger's pick is out of the left fiels as usual, but that's a cool watch. Not a G Shock fan but that Ben Clymer model was pretty nice. And I love the fact that someone would actually wear a yellow gold PP as a daily.

[@Judah.Rosenthal]

Petty doesn’t look good on anyone.

[@kresimirpleic]

@Judah.Rosenthal Indeed, that's why I'd never feel that way.

[@rabelosancho]

How much a person makes or doesn’t make is none of your business. People are here just sharing their passion among others who like the hobby, zero need to take things toward personal income.

[@kresimirpleic]

@@rabelosancho By all means, spend whatever you want on your hobby. How I make my own personal observations is up to me.

[@ozzy1154]

Well, there are exactly two levers you can pull. You can increase income or lower expenses. I would guess most of these people have done the latter barring the executive types. They probably don’t have killer crazy cars (if they even have a car), or crazy nice houses or apartments, or designer clothing. If you keep your other expenses and luxury trappings in check then watches, even luxury ones, do not have to be bank-account-shattering purchases.

[@robcameron9351]

I’m sorry Ben, Daytona Le Mans is minus the hype? Not sure about thaaaat

9:58 - I saw this watch today on eBay for 250K. Stay safe.

It really depends how rich you are... More relevant would be... What would you wear everyday at different price ranges...

Is Hodinkee even relevant anymore? Having a dubious non staffer with a Berneron for CHF 61.000 on doesn't help the brand.
