Talking Vintage Rolex And Offbeat Finds With Fred Savage
We’re back with another episode of Hodinkee Radio. In addition to the podcast feed, each episode also has video, so swing by Hodinkee’s YouTube channel (or watch below). Only want the audio?

Today’s guest is a true legend. Fred Savage is an actor, producer, and director best known for his roles in front of the camera in The Wonder Years and The Princess Bride after getting his big break in a commercial for Pac-Man Children’s Chewable Multi-Vitamin. He’s also a watch collector who I’ve seen get excited about vintage Gallet, Patek, and everything in between.
You might also recognize Fred from his 2018 Talking Watches episode. Since then, he’s become a fixture in the vintage watch world, and I always look forward to crossing paths with him at shows, auctions, or meetups.
Ben Clymer also joins the show, and we discuss Fred’s evolution as a collector since his Talking Watches episode, some of his more offbeat finds, and how watches have become something for the whole family in the Savage house. Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy this week’s episode of Hodinkee Radio.
