Hodinkee
As the leading voice in watches, Hodinkee is the online destination for luxury watch coverage, story-telling, and holistic watch journalism. Based in New York, USA, Hodinkee sets the benchmark for quality production with an omnipresent air of relatability throughout every facet of its output.
Having sung their praise and been a loyal advocate of Hodinkee since I entered the watch industry in 2016, I began working with the company as a Freelance Contributor to the Hodinkee Shop in 2021. I’ve worked closely with many team members to craft personal yet informative product descriptions for the 'Pre-Owned' offerings. This includes honing my skills to clearly and concisely summarise various watches, from entry-level luxury pieces to rare haute horology creations and everything in between.
All images on this page are the property of Hodinkee Inc.
Having produced thousands of descriptions, it’s a little tricky to include every piece of work I’ve produced with Hodinkee. Therefore, below is a hand-selected sample of my work to provide a taste of the approach I’ve achieved in close collaboration with the Hodinkee team.
