Contact Hodinkee Support

I’ve been a collector in the world of horology for the last 10 years and the first name in watch publication that’s commonly spoke when it comes to education on the subject matter is HODINKEE. Although I do really appreciate the content that’s put on this publication as it tends to be very interesting and easy to understand I cannot help but notice something odd about the site. Much like Twitter or other organization these days they tend to heavily sensor what is being posted as far as discussion and anything that disagrees with their opinion tends to fall under their famous “auto moderation”. I am not the only one that have taken note of this feature which silences harsh opinion and in some cases even more mundane comment but I find it a bit terrifying they do anything of the sort. They have gotten a ton of backlash as far as their moderation and essentially controlling of thoughts that differ from theirs and therefore despite a lot of great usability in their app and alright subject matter I cannot give it greater than 1 star.

So for Hodinkee to stop supporting Watchville wasn’t enough. Now they won’t even let people use it, covering the app with that Hodinkee screen. That is nasty way to motivate users, on par with such great ‘motivators’ as ussr communist party and certain people from germany in first half of 20th century.
Do not know which “genius” came up with the idea of pushing users like herd animals while working in the field of luxury mechanical watches in the age of iphones and apple watches, but to me looks like that person is in the wrong field doing wrong job.
Farewell Hodinkee, that is very bad of you, so not only I stop using or visiting any of you resources, I’d also block them wherever I can. That is, I cancel you and advice any real watch lovers to do the same. Plenty of resources where one can read the same stories and the same press releases.

These guys went from writing informative reviews to pushing the products they sell.
If that was not enough, they started over-moderating the comment section for articles, and finally they discontinued Watchville, the app they created that aggregated news from several other watch sites.
Even more troubling is the way they help auction houses hype up some “iconic” watches to inflate their prices. The latest -and so far most egregious- is that of the Daytona “Unicorn”, uncovered by Perezcope.
Not only that watch was a “Frankenwatch”, but also not all of the proceeds went to charity as advertised. Shame on Bacs, Montanari & Clymer.
