Do Watches Make Good Gifts?

November 29, 2021

The gift-giving season is upon us again, so I asked Nora and Danny to join me for this episode and discuss the merits of giving a watch as a gift. From the types of people who might be right for a surprise watch to actual watch suggestions and watch-adjacent alternatives, it's a fun, lighthearted episode, and many of the suggestions linked below are even available in the HODINKEE Shop.? Though Danny and Nora started the episode diametrically opposed in their viewpoints, in the spirit of the holidays we came together to try and simplify this one facet of watch-related gift-giving and I think they even managed to find some common ground. Thanks so much for listening and good luck with your holiday shopping.?
