The Watch I Wore Most In 2023, By Members Of The Hodinkee Family 

“This doesn’t look like much” £50k platinum daydate haha I love it. What a killer piece

Hodinkee Japan won! They had most interesting watches

The Zenith worn by the Japanese lady is a great looking piece. Also like the GO Pano and Ben’s day date.

I’ve been watching these annual roundups for many years now. It’s striking to me how large and corporate contemporary Hodinkee has become.

36mm day date and Omega Snoopy. If I had those two, I think that would do me fine. What a fine round up from the team 👏🏻

That IWC Ingenieur, Explorers and Day date are just amazing classic watches.

The cintree is to die for 😍

“My mom gave me this [Rolex] in high school…” 😳 Clearly there’s a world out there I’ve not experienced.

I don’t know why, but I am almost surprised, and pleased, to see Hodinkee staff wearing interesting mechanical watches, and not only plastic Casio and Apple watches. Great.

I look forward to this episode every year! Hodinkee…please never stop these ‘watch I wore most….’ Videos!

Thank you for bringing us another year of content and for sharing your team members’ favorites. I love the continued message of smaller watches and especially to see several Rolex Explorers. Ben, the Day Date is perfect: both on its own but more so because of the sentimental value.

it was an interesting year, Hodinkee. Thanks - keep those socks on!

The Zenith was the best one 7:21

That Cintree is so beautiful.

Spotify wrapped for watch lovers

🔥 Love this video every year 👏🏾😍 Happy New Year Watch Fam!🎉

That was great! 😁 What makes this World so special is the diverse interests. My infactuation is with motorcycles, mostly old Triumphs. and I kinda need my Garmin Instinct 1 for work (I need wrist noifications and cardio, etc) But I can sure appreciate timepieces. 🥰 Cheers to all and Happy New Year!

The watch I wore 98% of the time in 2001 was a Rolex Explorer ll. Ditto every year since. It just works and works and works. Buy right, buy once, love the increasing value, pass on to a grandson - eventually. I say it again, buy right first time, and that'll also turn out to be the last time. That's real value.

Thanks for sharing! I loved this video.

Love those 2 Explorer 1016's. Wow so nice... Talk about a one and done!

Keep up this series! Love it every single year

I have to accept that with time comes change. Only three faces I recognize from the early days of hodinkee in this video. Love the variety of pieces shown through the vid.

Happy 2024, thanks for your videos and keep it up.

Love this hodinkee tradition!

So nice that it’s not just one dive watch after another. Happy New Year!

Really great video, love the diversity of watches and how cool they all are😊😊

bugari wow..sarpent! and the cartier tank cintree

Brutal work putting the subtitles on Yu, his english is fine

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year fam!

Glashutte Original Panomaticlunar is top for me

The Japanese are the most stylish, creative and quirky of the international community.❤

I loved seeing the watches of the behind the scenes crew, rather than on-air personalities or reviewers. Great compilation from enthusiasts who happen to work in the industry. BTW that Bulgari Serpenti is stunning!

Love the Daydate!

loved the video, thank you Hodinkee, Happy New Year 🎄

That Tudor Pelagos 39 with the grey Nato strap is my choice, just a stunning legible watch 👍 Au

Yellow Gold Bvlgari Serpenti 🔥😯🔥😯🔥

Another shout out to the Timex Q 1978!! Yes, just another Quartz, but the dimensions are so perfect, the thick/bubble acrylic crystal is just amazing, the textured champagne dial, could be a little more textured and colour rich (sometimes I think its gives off an almost pink-ish hue, depending on the light), but I easily get as much pleasure from this watch, as others spending well into the thousands! The Quartz movement in it, also appears solid, no loud ticks, and keeps excellent time! Fun fact: The original watch, from the 1970s was produced at the old Timex factory in Dundee, Scotland, which I kind of feel, gives me some connection to, as I'm also from the UK.

So many great watches

great variety!

This deserves a million views!

It's official: Ben Clymer lives in a complete different planet.

A Konstantin Chaykin Clown watch also reminds me of the faces of Hodinkee readers

Grabs a drink and settles in to watch 🍻

I'm with Isa! I absolutely love Titanium, it's my favorite watch material.

Nice!

Hodinkee must pay huge signing bonuses; I count at least four who bought a grail watch on their first day!

Knew it was the platinum. One of my favorite Rolex’s. 36mm and looks stainless to us trained eye and like white gold as the WG one is identical. Subtle. Cool!

That snoopy is stunning

I love the 36mm daydate from Ben...wow

Cartier small watches are so confortable to wear ❤ I wore my Tank Française SM with mother of pearl face daily

I appreciate the diversity of watch brands from the staff.

That GO PanoMaticLunar is really sharp.

I would love to work at Hodinkee. I don’t even care what the job would be. Just to be around people who also love watches and be involved in watches would be amazing.

LOVE FREESTYLE

Japan wins! And ouch, Mutagami-san, about dropping that gorgeous Glashütte. Best of luck!

love that explorer

This must be the entire Hodinkee work force

The watch I wore the most this year is the Seiko SKX007. Runs great, never gets old

I'm not much of a Rolex guy, but how beautiful is that 1963 Explorer at 7:40?

That European spec Mercedes W124 @11:30 though!!

I knew that Day Date was platinum and not white gold! 😂

I wore my Link Chronograph the most this year.

1016 is pure class

Fluted bezel day-date flies under the radar...right...

Never seen a Zenith dial like that before

“Doesn’t look like much” - solid gold day date 🤦‍♂️

A lot of staff 😮

Who doesnt recognize a rolex day/date? Its the epitome of a classy watch.

Some great watches here! Did I miss something because Brandon was absent from this video, does he no longer work for Hodinkee?

The Rolex Explorer 1016 for me...also I noticed not really any hype watches is this on purpose...all are relatively affordable.

Platinum Day-Date "doesn't look like much" 😅

Like the fact that many of the watches are older models and Rolex designs from a forgotten time. Only saw the 1 ultra modern Pepsi and at least the guy wears it.

Came for Brandon M, was disappointed he's not here

That’s cute that Ben’s favorite watch is from Cara

Them Japanese really has good taste

I wore my fitbit the most

What a happy surprise that both Quartz and lower-cost brands were represented. Rowlecks and to a lesser degree Tudor are the boring predictable choices.

Need me a Cara Barrett before my 40th birthday.

Heartbroken for the guy who dropped and scratched his Glashutte, hope he doesn’t feel too bad, but we’ve been there (in my case my Casio WH 1200 Worldtimer and Swatch Citrime - not Hodinkee worthy but heartbreaking nonetheless).

shark freestyle for the mf win

RE: Mayer "collaboration". "Look, I can choose colors!" I collaborated!

No day dates fly under the radar

the snake watch

Not one single grand seiko… says a lot…

Wait...does Ben Clymer drive a W124?

Interesting that most of the Hodinkee guys have actual interesting watches (except for sales and ad department - what else to expect) and that the Japanese guys punch too levels about the other in individualism and style.

The watch I wore most in 2023 is a Shinola Vinton

Did not see Brandon Menancio...

You got it on the same day as your birthday, so your birthday then right?

Hmm. Not a single seiko in japan

Lol that's so classic. Founder of the company has the worst camera setup, just used his macbook webcam.

I am curious why Hodinkee has had some real misses re: their attempt at collaborations? Just seems like 2023 was off for them. Was it a design issue? Concept issue? Make these unfortunate creations as a way to talk about Hodinkee? I can't quite put my finger on it.

It shows the massive payroll Hodinkee has and how unbiased needs to be with LVMH

Yeah no one will notice that one Ben

Reading “family” related to employees is just cringe, they laid off lots of people in 2023. Can’t do that in a family Ben

So... everybody's gone?

The subtitles were….

How can a Style Editor have a tenths pf thousands of dollars Bvlgari serpentine…?

Okay I watched this video twice..... WHERE IS BRANDON???? 😢

Is it just me or does anyone else see Rolex as the Toyota of pricey watches ?
