Q&A And A New Seiko Chronograph With Blake Buettner And James Stacey | Hodinkee Radio

Today, we’re chatting watches with watch journalist Blake Buettner. Blake’s a veteran of watch media, having first contributed to Hodinkee in 2010. After that, he went on to work with StockX before becoming the Managing Editor of Worn & Wound. Nowawadays, you can find his writing in places like the Robb Report as well as his own project, The Deep Track. We talk a bit about Blake’s background, the early days of Hodinkee, and how he got into watches. But since he’s old hat at this, James, Blake, and I mostly just kick back and talk watches – the new Seiko Speedtimer, exciting microbrands, all followed by a listener Q&A. A note that Hodinkee Radio will be adopting a summer schedule through the month of August. We’re taking next week off, but we’ll be back in your feed again before long. Until then, enjoy my discussion with Blake and James.
