HODINKEE Radio: Considering Customization and Watch Mods

Inspired by an interesting recent story from Nick and a complementary episode of Talking Watches with Cooper Zelnick of Cloister Watch Co., we’re spending this episode of the show talking about watch modifications. From pre-purchase customization to aftermarket modifications, we dig into why personalization – something that is common in other elements of consumer goods these days – is still somewhat taboo in the watch world. 

From Seiko to Rolex, modern and vintage, Nick and Cooper help me dig into the idea of watch modification and what it does, and could, mean for watch enthusiasts. Thanks so much for listening! If you’d like to weigh in on the topic, please leave a comment below.
