UTE Watch Co + Hodinkee

Post by toxicavenger » Thu Jan 14, 2021 8:30 am

Before I say anything the first thing I need to do is to thank every ONE here on DWC. With out YOU guys I would not be where I am today. And I owe you all a debit of gratitude for it. So here is some news.

Guys here is something I have been working on it the background for the last year. I am sure you are wondering why. Honestly I am not sure I could keep doing what I was doing as a standalone business. I was losing a ton of family time, sleep, and just stress from business bs. As much as I loved serving you all and dealing with customers directly it just was not a viable business (I have bags under my eyes to prove this :crybaby: ).

So my solution was to try and bring one of offerings to the masses. Here it is:

Good luck Terry! I also saw this in email.

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
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Congrats Terry! The odd overpriced travel clock aside, I still really like Hodinkee. Lots of good articles, videos, and pod casts. I hope it ends up being a successful partnership.

I see that Hodinkee didn't include a picture of you in the announcement. Wise choice.

Damn that is some big news. I was sad at the possibility that the straps were going to completely go away when you closed down. I have a good collection of them now but I’ll definitely pick up more at some point.
