Ben Clymer Presents: Ep. 9 C The Golf And Watches Episode With Keith Mitchell

January 10, 2024

Welcome to a new podcast series from Hodinkee called Ben Clymer Presents. Hosted by Hodinkee's own founder, Ben Clymer Presents offers a special chat between Ben and subject experts from the world of watches and, sometimes, elsewhere. Want the video? Swing by Hodinkee's YouTube channel (or watch below). Just want the audio? It's being published to the same podcast feed as Hodinkee Radio, so check your feeds or subscribe wherever you find your podcasts (might we recommend Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or TuneIn). For the ninth installment of Ben Clymer Presents, Ben sits down with pro golfer Keith Mitchell, who is known not only for his success on the pro tour but also for his sense of style and his deep love of watches. Ben and Keith dig into everything from Keith's training to his family history in watches. They also touch on what he brought along in his watch roll to the recording, special creations from Laurent Ferrier, the pros and cons of playing with blades, and some extra cool references from Patek Philippe. This is one where we definitely recommend watching the video (embedded above or found on the Hodinkee Youtube channel), as Keith goes into several details that are better seen than heard.?
