Editors' Picks: 20 HODINKEE Radio Guests To Follow On Instagram

July 01, 2021

Devoted HODINKEE readers (thats you!) will recall that we recently shared a list of our editors' favorite Instagram follows C some small, some big, some funky, some flashy. Great accounts. Great list. However, you may have noticed some conspicuous friends of HODINKEE missing from that list. That's because we were saving them for ... this. Over the years our podcast has welcomed so many watch-world luminaries that we needed to make a separate story just for their grams. Follow indiscriminately below, and you'll have all the watches your Instagram can handle. Tom Brady Seven-time Super Bowl champion, IWC ambassador, and watch collector Tom Brady has 9.7m Instagram followers. Maybe you can be his 10 millionth?

On Instagram, he channels that honesty into free constructive criticism for emerging designers.

When she signed on with Omega in 1995, not only did she start a now-25-year relationship, she changed the watch world forever. A super model and a super Instagram follow.

Last year, extremely stylish Pedro Mendes told us how an encounter with a beautiful Seiko led him down the path to becoming a full-blown watch nerd. The proof is on his grid, folks.

Lots of action shots with the occasional #SpeedyTuesday thrown in for good measure.

Catch him posting drool-worthy vintage watches and selling out collabs with Rowing Blazers.

We're awaiting the next Modern Patina post!

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ming Thein (@mingthein) Mark Cho The Armoury co-founder and Drake's proprietor Mark Cho recently joined the podcast to talk about wrist sizing. His Instagram is a must-follow if your interests sit in the middle of the "watches" and "suiting" Venn Diagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mark Cho (@markchodotcom) Scott Schuman Scott Schuman is better known by his moniker: The Sartorialist. He's also a longtime inspiration for our host, SJP, who still can't quite believe this podcast-guest dream came true. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Scott Schuman (@thesartorialist) Hannah Elliott and Magnus Walker You'll be hard-pressed to find two more passionate and interesting people than this car-loving power couple. Hannah Elliot and Magnus Walker joined HODINKEE Radio for a double feature in 2019. Follow along if you love hot wheels.

(The first time he met Jack Forster, they talked about Saunier's 19th century treatise on watchmaking for the better part of an hour.) His Instagram account chronicles his Hollywood projects, but you'll probably get a glimpse of that Arnold & Son Golden Wheel he wore to the studio, too. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aldis Hodge (@aldis_hodge) Marc Newson Industrial designer Marc Newson knows his way around a clock (or an hourglass, as it may be). His Instagram presence is the perfect balance between form and function. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Marc Newson CBE (@marcnewsonofficial) Ted Gushue We've previously described Ted Gushue as a "man of sort-of-leisure," a description that holds up when you scroll through his feed. Must love Porsche! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ted Gushue (@tedgushue) Adam Scott In addition to being one of the greatest golfers alive (see what we did there ), Adam Scott is a longtime friend of HODINKEE. He previously joined the pod to talk about his love of vintage sport watches and even did a podcast mini-series earlier this year with our own Benjamin Clymer. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adam Scott (@adamscottofficial) Todd Snyder Toddy Snyder is a menswear OG and watch guy, through and through. Before Instagram was full of collab this and collab that, Snyder was getting vintage-inspired Timex watches and special Alden shoes into J. Crew stores across the country. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Todd Snyder (@toddsnyderny) Nicole Stott A couple of years ago, we had the honor of hosting a meet-up with NASA astronaut and Omega ambassador, Nicole Stott. Her Instagram presence, complete with cute dogs, is out of this world. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nicole Stott (@astro_nicole) Nish de Gruiter We love Nish de Gruiter's playful presence in our feed (it's the sneaky luggage bin watch shots for us ). He rocked a Vostok Amphibian for our HODINKEE Radio taping, and isn't afraid to strap on a Swatch with a suit.
