It was a family heirloom, so I totally understood. Someone was ready to sell it to me and they decided not to. I'm on the hunt for a very specific Cartier. In the past, it was never that.Īre you on the hunt for any watches or clothing items? Which and why?Īlways. Now, I'll build an outfit around a watch that I want to wear, but not all the time. So, that'll actually play into how I dress that day. If I know I want to be casual I might throw my Sub on, and that's going to tell me, all right, I'm not wearing a suit that day. I don't have many watches but I might wear one because that's what I feel like wearing that day. The easiest way that I think about it is it's just another thing to play around with. JH: I wouldn't have thought about this until I really started to work in watches, but I realize now that I was thinking about it even unconsciously. Why and how do watches and menswear synthesize? My number one thing is if I'm not comfortable in something, I'm going to look like a moron. What makes sense where it actually feels like it's part of me. When I'm thinking about dressing, the main thing I'm thinking about is not necessarily the pieces that I'm wearing-although that's important when I'm buying stuff-it's more about how I would put them together. It’s rarely about a single piece of clothing, it's more about how they're wearing it.

I've seen guys in jeans and a T-shirt look more put together than guys in full suits. The people with the best personal style are comfortable, and look comfortable, right? That can be people in dad-wear all the way through to avant-garde stuff, but they wear it in a certain way that looks fresh and super cool. What does personal style mean to you and how have you refined yours over the years? I started in the shop and then moved into the digital commerce side, and was there for four and a half years. Prior to that, my foray into luxury was The Armoury. I managed the personal shopping team there for three years. We're going to start branching out of that as well in the next few years you might see some furniture pieces. I'm currently the director of limited editions at Hodinkee, so that means my team and I work together to work with brands and make fun products, everything from watches to accessories.

What do you do for a living, and what were you doing prior to your most recent gig?
