Excellent question. If you have a theory, write it up and I’ll put it up here.

She has been given the unenviable task of trying to help expand the market for Hodinkee. Rolex Subs and Omega Speedmasters are great, and I think Hodinkee has a lock on that market, and that crowd. However, if Hodinkee is trying to move more Cartiers, they should consider Andy Warhol, who wore a Cartier Tank and never wound it. How do you sell to a collector like that? I don’t think Hodinkee or Crawford is capable of cracking that code.
