  • HODINKEE Radio presents The Collector’s Edition hosted by founder Ben Clymer. This series provides listeners with an inside look at the art of collecting and what it means to be an enthusiast. The conversation will cover watches, of course. But it won't stop there. For this episode, we are thrilled to sit down with comedian, actor, producer, and serial entrepreneur Kevin Hart.
    If it seems like Hart is everywhere all the time, that's because he is - from the current "Reality Check" stand-up tour and the big screen in hits like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and The Secret Life of Pets to television ads for the likes of DraftKings and JPMorgan Chase. On top of that, he also runs a media company called HartBeat Productions. And on top of that - and what brings us here today - he's also a legit watch enthusiast.

      @@jimbojimbo6873 Agreed but having conversations with interesting people about watches is something he seems to enjoy. To a lot of old Hondinkee fans he is still the face of the company and if you read the comments, most of those fans are not too keen on the new corporate approach.

    Sometimes it feels like a lot of celebrities are just anointed with watch knowledge from day one but it's refreshing to see that Kevin came into the hobby the same we all did, just by being interested in time and had the same journey as us. Start off with fashion watches, get some 'well known' pieces, get burned on vintage and eventually figure out what works for us in our day-to-day. For one of the world's best known collectors, that was brilliant to hear.
    Ben is absolutely brilliant at these interviews too. Hopefully this lends itself to more of these and we can get Mark Wahlberg, Jackie Chan and Corey Gamble on with their full collections.

      "Annointed with watch knowledge from day one." What? It's either you care about it enough to learn it or you don't get it at all. No one comes out just knowing about all watches. Plus, a lot of people nowadays are only into watches because they believe it is the "it" thing to do.
      I remember going to a hodinkee meet-up where all that was there were watch nerds like myself. Men and women alike. I loved it! Ben used to bring in some of his personal pieces and talk about it with all of us. It was a great day and age. Now, it has become a circus. There are people in this watch game who don't even care about watches for the beauty of the timepieces. They just care about what they can sell it for. It's a scarier world. But, as the saying goes, "you just have to roll with the punches" and keep it going.

    Respect to Kevin for being straight up honest. "I'm the AP spokesperson, which is awesome, but it's hard to not be able to wear other brands that I like too." Meanwhile, Floyd mayweather said, "Hublot is the greatest watch brand in the world..." So many "influencers" and artists just say things because they are paid to do so.

    @1989DJJD Před rokem +55

    Kevin seems like a nice guy. His take on watches is funny. "Nobody knew what watch I was wearing" is the basic thesis of why he gets into serious watches... completely opposite from most collectors who would tell you to buy what you like and buy for yourself instead of trying to fit into a club. Kevin is so big now he could probably make invicta cool to a group of people but he's still trying to fit in. Honestly interesting.

      Everybody into watches are trying to fit in (in my opinion). It is just a matter of what ballpark you are playing in. Some really high end watches may not be known by the average person (giving the illusion we do not care about fitting in) but at that point you are playing ball with the group who "when you know, you know" as Kevin said it.

    Disclaimer: I'm not a Kevin Hart fan. I'm not a hater. I just find his humor elementary and not at all intellectually stimulating. I respect his work ethic. HIs daily routines are solid. Based on this interview, he reminds me of a couple of friends I have. He's not a "watch" guy nor is he a "car" guy. He is a "status" guy. He's got money. that's all he's got. He buys what other people say are expensive "cool" watches. He doesn't actually seem to know or understand what he's buying. That's just my two cents. Nothing wrong with that but its just one of those things.
