Talking Watches With Howie Kendrick
Ғылым және технология
If you're a fan of vintage watches, and you happen to be on Instagram, then you likely know the username "HKendrick47." You might not, however, know who this vintage-watch-loving, Leica-shooting man really is. Howie Kendrick, or Howard Kendrick, as his friends call him, is truly one of the friendliest guys you'll ever meet, inside or outside of watches. After spending nine years with the Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels, he moved across town to join the Dodgers in 2014. He's a fan favorite in Los Angeles for his always-positive disposition, family-first mentality, and his genuine interest in interacting with baseball, photography, and watch lovers all over the world. Howie Kendrick is also, as far as we know, the only professional baseball player to truly collect vintage watches. This is your official HODINKEE Talking Watches with Howie Kendrick of the Los Angeles Dodgers. For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.com/articles/tal...

He is a rare kind of celebrity you could sit down with and have an actual conversation about normal people stuff.

Dude has great taste.

Totally agree! Most"high end collectors" on here seem to primarily have AP's and Patek. For me, the vintages are the ones that really appeal. They somehow feel like hey have more character. I enjoyed this pisode more than I have any other so far.

Love the fact that a guy like him really knows his watches. I mean, he knows what hes taking about!
I love how he refers to John Mayer as “One of the guys” from talking watches.
Love this guy's enthusiasm and passion. Unlike many athlete's who just want watches for the 'bling' factor, he's very knowledgeable and likes the quality and history of vintage. Top man Howie, much respect!
Certainly atypical for an athlete to have such a refined taste. Refreshing. Major points for the DSA.
As I Giants fan, I hate how much I like Howie Kendrick now. Great interview!

Exactly...LOL
Very honest, non-douchey episode.
Out of all the talking watches I enjoy this one most. Chill, unpretentious, well-spoken guy. Great collection that shows off a genuine interest and personal style rather than just wealth.
As a British guy with no knowledge of the baseball world, this was a really great interview. What an interesting, humble and thoughtful chap. Watch Talk feels like a way to “meet” people from other walks of like that otherwise I would never have exposure to.
Best episode by far; totally unexpected. A big tattooed person in thumbnail; Ultra kind knowledgeable tasteful and humble guy.

thereign What bob probably means is that bald muscular men are not often associated with watch/vintage watches. I have a military haircut and do powerlifting 5 times a week, when at a watchmeet or anything vitage related people dont expect to see someone looking like me there

A man who's grail watch is a Datograph is a man I can respect.
3 years later and Howie Kendrick is hitting grand slams in game 5 against his former team to reach the nlcs
This guy exudes cool from every pore. I love the fact that he knows even the small details of his watches and why he's purchased them. Also, I'm a Leica fan as well. Great camera and also great history behind the brand. My only advice would be to buy an M6 and start shooting some B&W film!
wow, his photographs are stunning!
One of the best watch videos I've seen on any channel. Kendrick is a true renaissance man -- and he shoots with a Leica Monochrom -- much respect.
Jays fan but very happy for Howie and his team tonight though, class act.
Really like Howie's taste. Also seems to genuinely take pleasure in his simpler watches. Grounded dude.

Great piece here, the smiles throughout his watch collection were genuine and heartfelt. It's wonderful to see an athlete with an understanding of the 'why' behind the prices we collectors pay for our beloved timekeepers. He comes across as knowledgeable and passionate. First class collection. Almost an old Hollywood feel to this gent. Brava.
the best episode to me, thus far. such a humble guy who knows his stuff.
One of my favorite episodes of Talking Watches for sure. Such a humble, laid back guy.
Hands down, Howie has the best collection so far of all the guests that have been on the show. Beautiful stuff.
One the few shows on youtube for the 1%. Maybe not this episode, humble dude, humble collection.

Plastic Hooks For watches to be only accesible to the top 1%, each piece would have to be worth approximately 20 mil. Other than that the watches in the video and other talking watches episodes are quite affordable.

I feel like these are videos for watch lovers in general. Because they show the watches in detail and talk about why they are interested in it. It is not about showing you product you should buy. It is about sharing something interesting and it is fun to watch. Also, I am just a regular guy who has his finances in order but works hard for every penny. And those watches are attainable if I wanted one.

@@arjunthakkar5383 Sorry, what I meant was that they are relatively affordable for the entry level rich and even some upper middle class people. To say that these pieces are only accessible to the top 1% is grossly false.
Totally the best episode so far! Great selection of watches
Best watch talk among the entire series. Salute
Yeah! You always do pick humble lovable people. Mr. Kendrick is fun to listen to! great photography!
Mr. Kendrick seems like such a good dude, regardless of his watch collection. Great episode! One of the best!
I really enjoyed this video thanks!.. Howie is a real thoughtful and intelligent guy, and you have to love his honest and unpretentious taste. He also knows exactly what he's buying, why, and what's inside which you have to respect.
What a great interview. Glad I started watching the older videos.
Love his unique style in staps. One of the coolest episodes!
Leica monochrome and some incredible vintage timepieces.....dude is livin my dream. LOL. Ohhhhhh, forgot to mention, a professional ballplayer
How have I just now stumbled on this channel! I've been fixing watches for 5 years now and this satisfies my interest in collecting greatly
This is one of my favorite episodes.
wow what a great video.Love this guy's collection. really humble
Absolutely loved each and every piece! The Man has a style. Great work by @hodinkee by finding these kind of unique collectors :)
Man, what a down to earth guy. He has such a warm and honest collection as well. Fantastic episode. I’d love to check back in with him all these years later and see how his collection has grown.
What a great interview……this guy is amazing! So much talent and diversity. The photos are spectacular ❤️
I didn’t know Howie, I became an instant fan. What a fine humble well spoken normal guy. Congrats to all of your success Brother. Great story teller thank you.
Best episode so far. Brilliant!!!
....love vintage watches. .....great Ep.

Really liked this episode! Ben is an excellent interviewer and Kendrick a vintage collector that I can relate to. Very cool gents!
BACK IN 2020! LOVED HIS COLLECTION!
Great collection, great conversation! Like the small Omega RAF. Have similar one ant it changed my persecution of watch sizes… Thanks for sharing!
Nice collection and one of the best episode I've seen to date.
Big respect for this guy! Super cool with an awesome collection.
Great episode!
Awesome episode gents. Love Howie's approach - not fussed if something is cheap or expensive or not, he just likes what he likes. I don't wear any watches with metal bracelets, always swapping over bands and leather straps so particularly enjoyed his collection.
One of my Fave Talking watches episode. 3 years later, NLCS MVP, World Series Hero, World Series Champion!!!👏👏👏⚾️ This guy got game and knows his watches well. Classy and sophisticated!!!
What a great discussion with a pleasant, engaging person. Thanks for this.
This is the best video Hodinkee has. Mayer is up there but I like this one the best and Howie. I’ve rewatched it tons of times but thing that I like most is we talk about the watch, then we get to see the watch by itself and then we see it ON his wrist. Like a demo. I wish every video was like that. It’s great. It got me into green leather straps and just a whole different view on the hobby after this video
This man is a multiple talent. Great athlete, beautiful photographs and lovely watches with interesting stories behind them. It's just so inspiring to watch. 👍

It's obvious his parents military background effects the style of watches he likes, almost every watch he owns has a military connection including that Panerai on his wrist
Fave episode in the series, great guy and great watches.
Thinking about why I liked this video... This guy reminds me in a way why we are human. Touching. Also: great collection
Perhaps my favorite collection of any guest. Dig his utilitarian style.
my favorite talking watches. great taste kendrick!
Just came across this. Excellent episode
This guy is great. A real renaissance man. Sports, art, culture....a man to admire.
Great collection. Love it! Fantastic person.
This collection epitomizes all the watches I’m interested in! Love the red submariner! Howie seems like a class act!
Still my favourite talking watches i love ever piece he has. Seem like a sound guy too.
One of my favourite episodes
Second time watching. Great episode and collection. Kendrick seems like a great guy too.
This is one of the very best episodes
This is the best talking watches I’ve ever seen .... solid yellow gold
awesome episode, one of the best ones yet.
This is my favorite episode. He is very well spoken. Cool dude.
The great thing about Talking Watches is that it makes celebrities instantly relatable. Their enthusiasm as hobbyists removes any airs their fame or wealth might confer. I love how sometimes they're even a little starstruck to be in the Hodinkee studios!
great guy. Clutch ball player. Now he's got a big ol monster world series ring to go with those beautiful watches. Kudos to Howie
Beautiful collection of time pieces.
Totally fell in love with Howie, knows his stuff, humble guy, very honest, no pomp and flash.
I love Howie for putting his watches on the rubber Natos.. just tried it on and I absolutely love it. Sits very low on the wrist. Just great 👌
Great video! 👏 I love my Yacht-Master II too! Amazing crown indeed!
These videos are pure class!
Howie is fascinating in this Talking Watches. Love his taste in watches and photography. What a cool dude.
This bloke really appreciates what tool watches were designed for. Brilliant episode, a one cool bloke.
Watch collector and World Series star!
Class collection bro. Bravo!
One of my favorite discussions. Love the passion! Very dangerous though, makes me want to go buy something... now!
Wow! I really liked his collection.
I was about to roll my eyes when he said, "shoot Leica only now," but I can't hate those photos. Solid work. I wouldn't look at this guys IG and guess he's as cool and down to earth as he seems here. Very cool, personal collection.
Great guest. Just splendid
Great guy and great collection 👍
Great collection & great ballplayer. Seems like a great person as well⚾️
Maybe one of the only people who would buy a 30k yacht master over a 450k minute repeater. Great episode, always see myself coming back to this one to watch again. Lovely collection. True gent.
This guy is cool and humble and he does have a cool collection
Love his taste.
Super chill, super humble.
Nice to see him staying in D.C. Would love to see a follow up with his collection too
Wow! What great taste! Beautiful collection.
Would enjoy seeing an update on Kendrick's collection. Sounds like a guy I would like to sit down and have a pop with. A really good ball player with an interesting story regarding his watch passion.
Kendrick has a great collection. I love his taste in watches.
Never seen him before - what a kind guy!
I am now a Howie Kendrick fan. Great dude.
Great watches and great photography.
Talented guy and a really awesome watch collection.
Great taste bro that’s a solid collection congrats you deserve it
Now that’s a collection I can get behind😍
Great collection from a great dude
