The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 224: A Conversation with Hodinkee's Danny Milton

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara welcome Hodinkee’s Danny Milton to the show. Danny joined the team at Hodinkee in 2020 (literally the week NYC shut down thanks to the pandemic) and has quickly established himself on the site with his unique, down to earth voice, writing about everything from the watches of Space Jam, to his own relationship with two-tone Rolex, to even more watches of Space Jam. In this episode, Danny talks about how he came to join the team at Hodinkee, his watch journey, and his thoughts on the watch landscape as it stands today. We also touch on some microbrands to watch out for, the prospect of a solid gold Explorer, and of course there’s plenty of vintage Rolex chat.
