In this episode, Ben sits down with Hodinkee editors Mark Kauzlarich and Tony Traina. After a morning of previewing the New York watch auctions at Sotheby's and Phillips, the three chat about the state of the market and watch auctions before jumping into their thoughts on some of the watches they saw in New York. There's a  discussion of vintage Patek and Rolex – including the collection of one collector beloved by the community – but also other brands, indies, and even our favorite Richard Milles. At the end of it all, the trio pick their favorite watches that they saw, as well as the lots they'll be watching to get a gauge on the state of the auction market. Sotheby's Important Watches auction takes place on December 7, and Phillips New York Auction: Nine happens on December 9–10. Both have public previews at their New York locations prior to the sale. Show Notes:00:01Sotheby's Important Watches New York catalogPhillips New York Auction: Nine catalog1:21Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 "Single Red" that passed at Phillips Geneva4:40Tiffany-signed, Breguet Patek 1463 chronograph at Sotheby's9:15Patek 1518R perpetual calendar chronograph at Sotheby's10:45Patek 1518 "pink on pink" that sold for $9.5m in 202112:30Rolex 6241 "John Player Special" at Sotheby's15:15John Player Special that sold for CHF 2.2m at Sotheby's Geneva16:15The Alan "Hammer" Bloore Collection18:30Panerai PAM21 from Hammer Collection at Sotheby's19:20Rolex 5510 "Big Crown" from Hammer Collection at Sotheby's19:55Longines Weems from Richard Byrd at Sotheby's22:00Richard Mille RM035 "Baby Nadal" at Sotheby's 23:30Patek 1518R at Phillips25:30Patek ref. 3974 at Phillips29:00Patek ref. 96 Sector Dial at PhillipsPatek ref. 844 pocket watch at Phillips30:40Vacheron Constantin 4072 chronograph at Phillips37:30Patek 1463 "pink-on-pink" at Phillips39:05Rolex Space-Dweller at Phillips44:45Rolex 6263 "Big Red" at PhillipsCartier Baignoire with Chaplin provenance at Sotheby'sTropical 5512 Submariner at Sotheby's

Previewing Watches And Wonders 2023 With Ben and Danny

Hodinkee Radio returns for the second installment of The Collector's Edition With Ben Clymer. Follow along with Hodinkee's founder as he speaks with notable friends and watch enthusiasts about what it means to be a collector. As you may recall, we launched the series last year with pop star Ed Sheeran. In this episode, we are thrilled to sit down with comedian, actor, producer, and serial entrepreneur Kevin Hart. If it seems like Hart is everywhere all the time, that's because he is – from the current "Reality Check" stand-up tour and the big screen in hits like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and The Secret Life of Pets to television ads for the likes of DraftKings and JPMorgan Chase. On top of that, he also runs a media company called HartBeat Productions. And on top of that – and what brings us here today – he's also a legit watch enthusiast.We caught up with Kevin at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, right before he was about to hit the stage for back-to-back "Reality Check" shows. We learned that his love of watches dates to the early days of his career and that over the years Submariners, Daytonas, Pateks, and Richard Milles adorned his wrist. Today, his collecting has evolved to the point where he has a partnership with Audemars Piguet. As a "friend of the brand," Kevin has access to some very special pieces, including the ceramic chronograph he famously leaked to the world and the piece he'll be wearing in the upcoming Netflix movie Lift.Show Notes: 0:27Kevin Hart0:30Ben Clymer0:56A stop on the "Reality Check" tour2:00Audemars Piguet4:57Rolex Submariner 166105:14Rolex Daytona 1165085:40Jacob the Jeweler6:25Richard Mille RM 0299:07Kevin's first Tourbillon: The Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Chronograph in Rose Gold 26223OR10:51Revealing the Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph "50th Anniversary" in Black Ceramic13:28Watch worn in the movie Lift14:05Chadwick Boseman and the AP x Marvel Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon17:58Royal Oak Openworked Extra-Thin "40th Anniversary" In Platinum18:46Kevin's car collection20:24Celebrity friends into collecting watches20:48Corey Gamble watch collection

We get into the many forms that the Seamaster has taken over the years, a breakdown of the new 300, some of our favorite references, and a behind-the-scenes chat about making a great episode of Talking Watches. Thanks so much for listening. Please note that this is the final episode before the show takes a short break for the remainder of the summer. We'll be back in early September with a brand new collection of fun and interesting conversations from the world of watches.
