It might be 2020, but we're not quite done with the twenty-teens here at the 'dink. A lot has happened over the last decade in watches and we thought it would be a fun and interesting exercise to try and sum up the last 10 years in a set of 10 watches. Now, these aren't the best watches of the twenty-teens; these aren't the most revolutionary watches of the twenty-teens; hell, these aren't even my favorite watches of the twenty-teens. No, these are the watches that, in my humble opinion, paint the best picture of what the last 10 years have been like in this wonderful, weird little world of ours.Now, you definitely don't want to listen to an hour of me opining about how this watch changed everything and that watch was impossible to get. I promise. So I brought Cara, James, and Jon into the studio to keep me honest. I pitch each watch to the team, make my case for why it's on my list, and then they get a chance to add to the case, poke holes in my argument, propose alternatives, and ultimately vote on whether or not the watch should make the group list. Personally, I learned a lot talking to the team and they even convinced me to reverse a pick or two. I'm not going to spoil which ones, so you'll just have to give the episode a listen to find out.We hope you enjoy Episode 74 of HODINKEE Radio.
