House Of Craft: A Lively Chat With Alton Brown About His Love Of Watches And Designing One Of His Own
In partnership with UBS, we hosted a get-together and series of talks in New York City called “House of Craft.” The event featured a who’s who of watch-world luminaries, including industry legend Jean-Claude Biver, actor Keegan Allen, author Alton Brown, AP CEO of the Americas Ginny Wright, actor Daniel Dae Kim, journalist Jay Fielden, independent watchmaker Simon Brette, actor and comedian Ronny Chieng, dealer and collector Alessandro Fanciulli, auction specialist Geoff Hess, and menswear designer Todd Snyder.
It’s a brand new year, and that means a brand new video from the UBS House of Craft. For this installment, Ben and James are thrilled to hit the stage with none other than Alton Brown, the prolific presenter, food scientist, author, and entertainer. Alton has been a long-time supporter of Hodinkee, even speaking at Hodinkee 10 back in 2018, and in this conversation, we learn about the evolution of his watch taste, his work as a live entertainer, and his recent collaboration with Brew Watches in which he was able to design his own watch – the Brew Retrograph Relic. Stick around for a fun round of Q&A towards the end – we hope you love this chat with Alton Brown.
