June 07, 2021

Subscribe to the show: (Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, TuneIn). Already heard it once or twice? Please leave a short review, and tell us which guests we should have on! This week, Im joined by someone Ive been wanting to get on the show for some time now: Brynn Wallner, the founder of Dimepiece. If youre not familiar with Dimepiece, I dont know what watch internet youve been on the last few months. The Instagram account turned publishing platform brings a fresh, fun, and female perspective to the watch game, mixing pop culture, watch nerdy, and a healthy sense of humor. When you hear the phrase "watch blog," your brain probably jumps to a page full of arcane reference numbers, technical charts, and insider-only lingo. Dimepiece is the opposite of that, and I personally love it.With Daisy Alioto, HODINKEEs Audience Engagement Manager, as my co-pilot, we dive into how Brynn first fell in love with watches while working in the content division at Sothebys, why she launched Dimepiece in the middle of a global pandemic, and the impact she hopes to have on our watch-obsessed community. We also talk "It Girl" watches, how watch brands should be speaking to millennials, and, of course, our favorite RomComs. We hope you enjoy this episode of HODINKEE Radio. Let us know down in the comments if you've got more questions for Brynn C I have a funny feeling this isn't the last time she'll be on the show. Thank you for listening! Wrist Check Not everyone gets their first major watch purchase covered in Vogue. But, then again, Brynn isn't everyone. When she decided to take the plunge, she linked up with a friend who writes for the fashion standby and they waltzed down to the Cartier Mansion on Fifth Avenue for a special afternoon. The result? This awesome stainless steel Tank Fran?aise in a medium size on a matching bracelet. It's a go-anywhere, do-anything kind of watch that embodies so much of what Dimepiece is all about.
