On a July afternoon, Danny Fisher, Tripper Harrison, and Vincent Sarenzo, gather for a summer barbecue celebrating Tripps first real venture back into the world following heart surgery. Near evenings end, a call from San Diego shatters the festivities. The wife of their closest friend, Henry Pratt, informs them that Henry has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is refusing the treatments needed to possibly save his life. The friends rent a Mercedes convertible and drive from New York to California to confront their friend. The road trip takes them deep into a Kentucky forest where Bigfoot sightings are abundant, to Gilleys in Texas for some hard-hat days and one honky-tonk night, and under the Nevada nighttime sky where no one knows whats flying overhead. For a humorous, yet bittersweet, story of true friendship and personal growth, get in the car with Danny, Tripper, and Vinbefore the clock stops ticking.

Over a short ten-year time-span, Hodinkee has positioned itself as the preeminent and most distinguished destination for modern and vintage wristwatch enthusiasts. Exiting a career in finance, Ben Clymer decided to fuse his horological and writing passions in order to start a blog discussing everything from new products to vintage wristwatch auctions. Titling his endeavor after the Czech word hodinky, which means ‘little watch,’ Clymer sought to create a platform that was casual and accessible to all levels of enthusiasts—within a few years The New York Times dubbed him the “High Priest of Horology.”

Chapters showcase historical milestones such as Cartier's development of the first men's wristwatch for Alberto Santos-Dumont; Charles Lindbergh's invention of the Longines Hour Angle; and the Omega Speedmaster, the first watch to land on the moon. Also featured are iconic timepieces, including the Breitling Navitimer, IWC Big Pilot's Watch, Breguet Type XX, and Rolex GMT-Master, up through current category timepieces such as in the collections of Bell & Ross, Longines, Bremont, Patek Philippe, Hamilton, and Zenith. Informative and compelling, this fascinating guide is the perfect gift for connoisseurs of timepieces, aviation, and globetrotting travel.
