Thank you so very much for sharing... Extremely well done, a wonderful story and if you don't tear up at some point you need to check your pulse! Makes me want to add a Tudor to the lineup now.

When people say "a watch with a story", that should be the example. As mentioned in the Hodinkee comments, #betterthanbrando

Love this production by hodinkee. These are the sorts of articles/videos that we need to see more of. Less of the flashy celebrity money and their collections, more of 'ordinary' people's stories and their connections to their watches.
