The Hodinkee Eight-Day Travel Clock LE
New old stock vintage 8-day Swiss movement. 96 pcs. Only $5900
I wonder who will be able to service a Pontifa movement when it comes time??

I was waiting for you to post this
Re: The Hodinkee Eight-Day Travel Clock LE
I almost fell out of my chair.
Who the hell needs this - let alone pay 5900 for a freaking travel alarm clock for someone to steal when left in a room?
At least a JLC Atmos would be interesting on a desk. This not so much.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

I'd rather buy a Kobold that never got delivered. At least then I'd have a story about firetrucks, spies, celebrities, and foreign lands.
Re: The Hodinkee Eight-Day Travel Clock LE
figured I'd see $590 when I scrolled down kinda seems impossible they'd be sold out already

Haha and Wornandwound took down all of the comments on IG because of overwhelming WTF reaction.
Re: The Hodinkee Eight-Day Travel Clock LE
Perfect timing, because people are doing SO MUCH TRAVELING these days.
then again a lot of stuff doesn't apply to the rich these days.

i always figured they *presold" a lot of this stuff to their buddies... i mean... trust-fund-baby-buddies... errm... suckers before they actually went online. can't take a risk that any of their special releases would last more than a few hours and stop being prestigious.

Seikos yellow track-style desk clock is a fun clock that looks better, lasts longer, more accurate, comes in two sizes, and is a small fraction of the price.
I’ve always wanted a Hamilton and Elgin model 37500 aircraft clock or a navy chronometer. Even those are far cheaper.

Re: The Hodinkee Eight-Day Travel Clock LE
Wow. Even by insane Hodinkee LE standards, this one is extreme. Probably the worst offering to date. There is NOTHING redeeming about it.
Like Todd said, you can get a JLC Atmos clock for that much, and nobody considers even that a bargain...

C'mon- most high end places have a bed side clock anyway...These guys have no sense of reality...
Just wondering, how's the lume??? Asking for a friend .....

If I had a coffee in hand when I saw the $, I would have spat in it. Also travel clock = watch.

Re: The Hodinkee Eight-Day Travel Clock LE
Yeah, but it's not travel size
But at least there will be someone there to service it should it ever need it. The Hodinkee clock, with it's unserviceable vintage Pontifa movement, will likely be a door stop in a few years.
