Our Story - Hodinkee

Hodinkee is the foremost destination for all things in the world of horology, making watches and information about them accessible to all.

In the course of 11 years, Hodinkee has established itself as the preeminent resource for modern and vintage wristwatch enthusiasts. Founder and CEO Benjamin Clymer and his team of writers are known for their innate understanding of both historical references and the most cutting-edge haute horlogerie, and more importantly, can explain them in a way that is both entertaining and easy to understand. The Hodinkee team circles the globe looking for the most interesting stories about watches, watch collectors, watch makers, and more, and then tells those stories across a diverse group of multimedia channels.

Hodinkee is the horological touchpoint for other news, business, and lifestyle media, too. Hodinkee has been featured prominently in major international media outlets, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Esquire, Gear Patrol, GQ, HighSnobiety, Hypebeast, and trade publications including WWD and The Business of Fashion. In 2019, Hodinkee was named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in Media, and was awarded a 2019 Webby Award for Website Best Practices.

The Hodinkee Shop, launched in 2012, is now established as one of the most trusted timepiece and accessories retail platforms for consumers and enthusiasts alike. In just seven years, the Hodinkee Shop has grown from selling watch straps and other small accessories to now being an authorized retailer for over 10 of the most important watch brands in the world.
