I appreciate Ben's willingness to be open and frank about certain criticisms of HODINKEE and I think he addressed them well. Good show!

Nice job. I think this video makes Ben more human… it’s the version of Ben I like. I think he’s a genuine good guy.

He really gave us a lot, one of the best guest we’ve had.

Ben: people’s champ. People forget Ben is a businessman but when it is said and done Ben is a man who loves watches

Always enjoy listening to Ben Clymer talk about watches, a true watch geek!!!!

Fantastic interview. Professional questions and great balance in interaction. I enjoy almost all Ben's content and this was up there with the best.

What an Episode!!!!!

Frikkin loved the interview with the Yedi😂. Great to see Ben giving acte de présence again at Geneva auctions. One of the guys in our industry who really pushed the envelope. There is an era before and after the Dink within our little hobby. Subscribed ☑️

Thanks for watching Donatello, and we appreciate the support. It’s cool to see how humble Ben is and at the same time how confident he is in what he’s built. The community is very much richer in spirit because of him.

This is epic! So epic i’m commenting before even watching it.

@@WristCheckPod finally got the chance to give the video the attention it deserves over the weekend. Man the amount of insight and knowledge to be gained here especially around the growth of the modern watch culture is immense. Love to have learned about how Benhahmias helped to grow Hodinkee at the beginning and how that investment has helped them in return!

Really good job

Amazing episode!! Well done

A very nice Cintrée!

Fabulous... Would have liked to have explored more about the layoffs, company performance, and the pivot from losing so many luminaires on the team to the current crop of young editors and new personnel--otherwise the best show you've aired yet...

This was a SPECIAL one!!☝️

Great interview fellas. A sore point for me is the lack of diversity within the Hodinkee staff in the aftermath of these layoffs.

He’s an introvert too! That’s good.

Great work gentlemen 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

🤣🤣🤣 LFG!!!

Amazing interview! Great questions and great responses. I’m still thinking through Ben’s defense that what they publish isn’t an endorsement. True. Very true. Buuuut giving potential scams a platform or doing editorial videos/content with incorrect watches is still problematic. There have been a few misses in that respect that are totally excusable - we’re all human - but I don’t think the ‘Dink can just wash its hands clean on that. Especially with pre-auction coverage. That said. Amazing interview! Some of the best watch content in a long while!! My 2 cents, from a longtime and continuing Hodinkee fan! And just offering constructive input here. Not looking to flame Hodinkee or Ben.
