Reflecting on 2025: The Timepieces that Left a Mark in Our Lives

Amid the swift flow of time, every year brings new stories and chapters in our lives, and in this journey, nothing accompanies us as faithfully as our trusty timepieces. Hodinkee team members have been sharing the stories of the watches they coveted the most throughout each year and 2025 has been no exception.

The essence of these narratives isn’t based on the latest releases or the most celebrated timepieces, rather it’s about the watch that was most often strapped onto their wrists, interweaving into the rhythm of everyday life. These reliable companions range from newly acquired models to beloved staples, reflecting the unique trajectories of their owners’ lives.

As we settle into the epic ride promised by 2026, we invite you to look back at the journey of 2025 through the lens of watches that have been with us through thick and thin, punctuating the highs and lows.
