Hodinkee Talking Watches – Eric Ku

Hodinkee’s Talking Watches series is among its best work, and the episode with Eric Ku is one of my favourites.

It presents timepieces by legendary independent watchmakers. The Simplicity by Philippe Dufour has a level of finishing that is out of this world, and his watches are truly handmade. There is also the Antiqua by Vianney Halter, an outstanding watch with a very particular design. Dufour and Halter are not only outstanding watchmakers but also fine people.

What I like most about the episode is the combination of these independent watches with great vintage timepieces.
