As someone who both grew up during the 1980s and fell in love with watches back then, I was excited to see the 80s Week theme appear on HODINKEE. It reminded me of an email I received from Hodinkee Founder Ben Clymer back in 2019, where he asked some friends for our thoughts on watches we believed should be worth more than they are. As I thought through my answer, several pieces introduced in the 1980s came to mind, and a theme surrounding this decade I m nostalgic for emerged.

We can all agree that the year 2020 was massively horrendous for humanity but if you thought that would have affected the quality of watches that came out during this year’s Watches and Wonders, think again. Here are all the watch trends we’ve picked up from these 2021 novelties.
In 2020, “everything that could go wrong went wrong,” FHH President Emmanuel Perrin tells me over a call. Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO Catherine Renier also tells me in a call that it was indeed a challenging year, but it had only made the brand stronger. Sentiments such as these are echoed by the various CEOs and top management that I’ve spoken to over the duration of the digital watch fair in April.
The vintage watch world is a strange and mysterious place at times. To the uninitiated, you’d be forgiven for thinking a lot of money is exchanged for a second-hand good when a factory-fresh example is available for a similar price. While in a literal sense that is correct, much like the finest classic cars, the ‘true’ value of a vintage watch only develops over time; its historical significance, scarcity, and condition only revealing itself decades into its life.
Every timepiece tells its own story: should it find its way into your possession, you are merely the custodian of its latest chapter. Time is infinite, after all, humans are not.
