Benjamin Clymer (HODINKEE founder & executive editor, journalist & entrepreneur)

Update: 2016-06-19

Description

I speak with Ben Clymer, the founder and executive editor of the online watch magazine HODINKEE. Ben discusses his appreciation of well made mechanical objects, ranging from his childhood admiration for analogue light meters and compasses to his passion for mechanical watches and vintage cars. He tells us about his experience at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, his views on the future of journalism and how he spends his time at Hodinkee. He describes his romantic notion of classic race cars being timed with mechanical watches and why he favors vintage watches from the middle of the twentieth century.
