The HODINKEE Shop Becomes An Authorized Dealer For Eight Premium Watch Brands

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- HODINKEE announces the addition of new, fully-authorized watches from eight renowned manufacturers to the HODINKEE Shop. The inaugural collection features pieces from Grand Seiko, Longines, NOMOS Glashütte, Oris, TAG Heuer, Vacheron Constantin, and Zenith. Chosen for their cohesive and timeless designs, creative and advanced technical details, great value and rarity, each watch has been vetted and selected by members of the HODINKEE team.

This is the first time an authorized dealer – brick-and-mortar or online – has offered new, modern watches with such a distinctive point of view.

Since 2012, the HODINKEE Shop has been selling the very best accessories for watch collectors, including handmade straps, travel cases, books, tools and more. In 2016, the HODINKEE Shop began selling vintage watches as well, releasing new collections once per week.

The HODINKEE Shop aims to provide customers with a one-stop shop for everything related to watches. In selecting these pieces, the team from the HODINKEE Shop honed in on those that represent not the most expensive, but rather the most interesting watches produced today. Each watch offered on the site is stunningly photographed and described by in-house experts, using HODINKEE's unique eye for detail to represent the product in the most realistic and honest way possible. Both educated and casual watch lovers are provided the right information to help make educated purchasing decisions that they can feel good about for years to come.

"Consumers can expect the HODINKEE Shop experience to parallel the relationship we have already established with our readers as friends giving watch advice," says Eneuri Acosta, Chief Operating Officer of HODINKEE. "One of the most frequent requests we get from our readers and customers is to offer new watches for sale in the HODINKEE Shop, since many don't know how to navigate the tricky world of buying a watch online. We already offer vintage watches and the best selection of watch accessories, so this evolution into new watches as an authorized retailer of some of our favorite brands feels like a natural evolution."

The HODINKEE Shop experience has been designed to make watch shopping convenient and enjoyable for the consumer. It features a quiz that allows potential customers to discover watches based on a series of multi-choice questions. In the HODINKEE App, customers can see the actual size of a watch before purchasing.

The HODINKEE Shop team also believes that 21^st-century consumers expect and deserve a level of service yet-unheard of in new watch retail. HODINKEE Shop customers can expect the following with each watch purchase:

• Free overnight, insured shipping
• An additional year's warranty on top of the manufacturer's warranty
• A full insurance valuation form
• A digital archive of all important paperwork (certificates of authenticity, owner's manuals, warranties, etc.)
• A customized gift from HODINKEE
• Full refunds on returns made within seven business days

Watches can be purchased online at shop.hodinkee.com, directly in the HODINKEE App for iOS, and in Watchville, the world's most widely-used watch-related app, using credit card, Paypal, Amazon Payments, or Apple Pay.
