Hey Hodinkee looks at date windows, hour glasses, and titanium watches.

August 26, 2021

Welcome to another installment of Hey, HODINKEE! C where you, our readers and community members, ask questions about anything and everything watch-related. Coming to you hot off the presses, if we had presses and anything came off them hot. This week, we lead off with a question so contentious that its contentiousness has become a clich all on its own. That question is the question of date windows. Do we love them? Do we hate them? Do we love to hate them? Is this a question better answered by a careful re-reading of Konrad Lorenz's On Aggression than by looking at the pros and cons of actual date windows? This and more, as Jack takes on a perennial pet peeve. Also this week, we look at whether or not an hourglass can ever be a really precise timekeeper. And a reader writes in to ask about titanium in watch cases, as well as which brands (among many) are worth looking at when you're looking at titanium watches. We hope you enjoy the show!
