Last week, the second instalment of the increasingly popular ‘Hodinkee Happy Hour’ was held at Watches of Switzerland, SoHo. Hosted by the charismatic Editor-in-Chief James Stacey, the evening intertwined delightful conversations with a gamut of impressive timepieces, creating a vibrant backdrop for this burgeoning fixture on the horology social calendar.
The array of watches on display was a spectacle worthy of any connoisseur - a Patek Philippe 5940J, Zenith Sporto, and a Rolex Land-Dweller 36 worn by Hodinkee Editor TanTan Wang among them. Attendees also cast their gaze on rarities like the Casio G-Shock x Hender Scheme DW-5900UD-1, Patek Philippe Complications ref. 5180/1R-001 18K Skeleton and a A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus in Titanium.
A pleasant surprise of 2025, and a vibrant addition to the horological realm, the Trilobe Trente-Deux emerged as a revolutionary player in the integrated-bracelet sports watch segment. The Paris-based independent brand didn’t just enter the competitive field, they stole the spotlight by debuting the Calibre X-Nihilo - Trilobe’s first in-house movement, that was developed, produced, and assembled entirely in the romantic city of Paris.
