Watch Spotting The 2019 Greenwich Concours D'Elegance (And Some Car Spotting Too!)
Watches and cars, cars and watches.

The HODINKEE Shop has been popping up a lot more over the past year than it ever has before. From our time in LA with our friends from UTA to our 10th Anniversary Weekend, we've been all about bringing our hand-made accessories, books and magazines, and, of course, vintage and modern watches to as many people in the world as possible. This past weekend, we popped up at the incredible Greenwich Concours d'Elegance, one of the premier vintage car shows on the east coast. It was awesome.
Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513
A range of the English road car category.
Some very special Porsches, including two four-cam Speedster Carreras and a 1967 Targa S Soft-Window.
We, as always, brought the heat. There was a box-and-papers, original owner reference 6239 Daytona, the newest releases from NOMOS and Oris, and all sorts of great stuff to get you ready for Father's Day. Oh, and we also had the nicest solid gold Rolex GMT ref. 1675 you could possibly imagine.
On top of all the watches we brought to show off, we couldn't help but notice all the amazing timepieces that made their ways into our booth. So, we took photos of some of our favorites from the weekend. And, since we love a good old car as much as we do a good old watch, we thought we'd share those too. Hell, we even awarded a special edition TAG Heuer Autavia Orange Boy to the cars that we felt were the most timeless. Read on for a look at some amazing cars and amazing watches. You can find out more about the Greenwich Concours here.
