Hey HODINKEE on screw down crowns, dog matched to watches, letting a chronograph run, and screw down crowns

March 03, 2022

Welcome once again to that center of all things watch-related, that horological Rome to which all roads lead, which is known by the humble yet somehow universally acclaimed name of Hey, HODINKEE! You ask and, as always, we (try) to answer. This week's questions range from the practical to the perverse. One reader wants to know which Cartier Tank Amricaine to buy as a gift. Another asks a deep-cutting question which any chronograph owner has probably asked themselves at one point or another, which is: Is it okay to leave my chronograph running all the time? (Spoiler alert: it depends.) And another reader wants to know if a screw-down crown on a watch meant for deep diving is just good insurance, or an absolute necessity. The Cartier Tank Amricaine in steel, from Stephen Pulvirent's A Week On The Wrist And in this episode, we also attempt to answer perhaps the most profound, the most philosophical, and the most thought-provoking question of all: If a dog breed were a watch, what watch would that be? All this and more in the latest episode of Hey, HODINKEE!? We hope you enjoy the show! If you'd like to see your questions featured in an upcoming episode, email us at?[email protected].
