Continuing our weekly rollout of the videos for each session from October’s UBS House of Craft here in New York City, this week we have a chat with Daniel Dae Kim – actor, director, producer, and serious “watch guy.” His episode of Talking Watches is one of the most viewed of all time, a testament to his personal magnetism and impressive taste in watches. A lot has happened since we last chatted with Kim in 2019, consider this an update on the direction his collection has taken and how he is starting to think a bit differently about the watches he collects. Led by Hodinkee’s founder, Ben Clymer, we hope you enjoy this conversation!
