Over a short ten-year time-span, Hodinkee has positioned itself as the preeminent and most distinguished destination for modern and vintage wristwatch enthusiasts. Exiting a career in finance, Ben Clymer decided to fuse his horological and writing passions in order to start a blog discussing everything from new products to vintage wristwatch auctions. Titling his endeavor after the Czech word hodinky, which means Ôlittle watch,Õ Clymer sought to create a platform that was casual and accessible to all levels of enthusiastsÑwithin a few years The New York Times dubbed him the ÒHigh Priest of Horology.Ó

What started as a humble blog quickly transformed into a full-fledged magazine and e-comm hub for some of the worldÕs leading watch brands. Celebrating the decade milestone since HodinkeeÕs founding, this book captures the storied expertise of the worldÕs leading experts on time. With chapters breaking down chronographs, dive watches, high design, and horological icons, this book is a connoisseurÕs compendium for the timepiece veterans and novices alike.
