This week’s issue of the New Yorker magazine features one of the best pieces of horological writing we’ve seen in a very long time. Novelist and all-around man of letters Gary Shteyngart penned an extensive tale of his falling in love with watches against the background of current political turmoil – and it’s an excellent look at why and how we love these little antiquated machines. HODINKEE gets more than a passing nod, along with many of our friends in the watch community.
