The global watch community is set to become more locally diverse with the latest expansion of Hodinkee into Australia & New Zealand.

Having held their love service for horology in the grand lanes of Geneva, the charming streets of New York, and amid the urban flash of Ginza, Hodinkee is now extending their reach to the sophisticated watch enthusiasts of Australia & New Zealand. Their arrival presents a fresh chapter, embedding their global language of watch appreciation into the local accents of the region.

The vibrant and passionate Australian and New Zealand watch community, known for its distinctive taste, influenced by a mixture of ruggedness and refinement. With a remarkable partnership with Switzer Media + Publishing, a trusted media figure in Australia, boasting an impressive portfolio from Harper’s BAZAAR to Men’s Health, Hodinkee plans to create a more locally relevant and interactive edition.

Beyond just a digital movement, Hodinkee ANZ endeavours to create a physical space in the heart of Australia’s financial district. By carving a niche close to the iconic Albert Park Formula 1 circuit in Melbourne, a rooftop decked office set to serve as a ’living room’ for the watch community, embracing the region’s sporting and stylish spirit.

Jamie Weiss leads this exciting venture into the Pacific, bearing a deep appreciation for the Hodinkee story, and embarking on a journey to enrich the story of watch collecting in Australia and New Zealand. A respected territory outside traditional European and American luxury, showing more influence by Asia and reflecting the outdoor lifestyles in their collections, Hodinkee enters a promising region.
