You know, maybe I overthink photographs too much, but finding the cover photograph for a book is it's very, very tricky.

And so this picture on the cover, it's a gentleman probably in his early 60s and has a very obvious

visual charisma you know it's I think a good portrait of him but there's a lot of

little things I like the fact that he's sitting forward a little bit. He's kind of looking at you, but the fact that he's got sunglasses on, it doesn't make it uncomfortable to look back at him. You know, for me it only works if you see the person first but then the clothes kind of

help tell you something about who this person might be. And the Hey everybody. I'm your host Stephen Pulverin and this is Hodincky Radio.

It's hard to believe 2019 is almost over but we've got a ton of great stories to

bring you before the year is out.

And one of those is a conversation between our founder Ben Clymer

and Mr. Wilhelm Schmidt, the CEO of A Langensona.

A little over a month ago, Longer released the Odysseus,

their first serially produced stainless steel watch.

It's generated a ton of conversation.

It's one of the most talked about watches of the year.

And this is your chance to get the inside story of how swatch came to be and how it's doing so far.

Up next, we've got my conversation with Scott Schuman, the Sartorialist.

Scott was a guest on a previous episode, but I wanted to bring it back to talk about his new book, The Sartorialist India.

It's his photography, unlike you've ever seen it before, but in a way that should probably feel familiar,

too. Scott's an amazing guy, and this is a super fun conversation. To close

out this week's episode we've got our own Cole Pennington performing the

story that he wrote for the cover of Hodinke magazine, Volume 5.

The story is called The Watch that Came In From The Cold, and I don't want to spoil too much.

You're just going to have to listen to it.
