EPISODE 73: Cara Barrett (Hodinkee) on changing understandings of women's watches, and what it's like to make a limited edition watch

A few weeks ago, today's guest set the internet ablaze with her considered and articulate column on women's watches. Cara Barrett has been part of the Hodinkee team since 2015, and her perspective on everything from Patek Philippe to pop culture is both considered and insightful. Today we chat to Cara about her column, the feedback from it and what she would like to see change in the world of women's watches. We also talk about what it's like to work at Hodinkee as the business scales up, as well as the specifics of her role, creating limited editions and collaborative pieces. Unfortunately, she's too good at her job and managed not to tell us anything about Hodinkee's upcoming limited editions, but still, this long interview with Cara is practically required listening.

This week's episode is brought to you by TAG Heuer. Listen in to hear Felix and Andy chat about the brand's partnership with Porsche and the relationship between car people and watch people. Find out more here. https://www.tagheuer.com/porsche
