Photo Report: The Wonderful Watches Of UBS House Of Craft NYC
Last week, we teamed up with UBS to host the inaugural outing of a new event series called the UBS House of Craft. It was a week of amazing presentations, candid talks, special events, and, yes, a truly ludicrous array of amazing watches. From a display of past Hodinkee LEs to the watches that were worn by the many attendees (many reading this now), we had so many amazing wrist shots from the events that we figured it would make for a very fun, and very watch-focused, photo report to help recap all the amazing watches that showed up over the multi-day event.
From the entire team Hodinkee and our friends at UBS, we’d like to say a huge thank you to all who came out and participated in the festivities—and that includes bringing out some jaw-dropping watches to share with us all. For those who missed the events, stay tuned for a progressive roll-out of videos covering the special conversations, and start scrolling if you’d like to see some capital “W” watches.
