  • Great Podcast - Terrible French Accent

    In general, I love the podcast. Keep it coming. But, can Andy please stop with the horrific French pronunciations? They are so tortured and overwrought. Andy is terrific otherwise, but please, no môr.

  • Great Pod, Less Malaika

    Malaika is a real weak spot in this podcast. I enjoy her articles, but her tendency to interrupt and ramble makes her a poor podcast guest.

  • Love the Podcast—But Let’s Talk Backes & Strauss

    Hey Hodinkee Team,

    Huge fan of the podcast—it’s the perfect mix of deep horology and great storytelling. But can we get some tea on Backes & Strauss? They’ve got the world’s oldest diamond company cred, ties to Franck Muller, and some wild designs—what’s their real place in modern watchmaking?

    Keep up the great work!
