There’s perhaps no better place to learn about new, vintage or downright exciting watches than the digital or physical pages of Hodinkee or the Hodinkee Magazine. The brand’s Midas touch has expanded over the years from the realm of exposition and commentary to the world of physical goods. Whether it’s their own spring bar tool, loupe system, spring bar pliers, watch straps, wallets or even lighters, every collaboration product they’ve worked on has been excellent. That also goes for the new Victorinox for Hodinkee Watchmaker Swiss Army Knife. Think standard Boy Scouts Swiss Army knife you’re already familiar with and trade in the small blade, nail file and scissors for a larger, functional knife blade on one side and a watch case knife on the other. That’s right, you can finally inspect movements of your potential purchases without having to carry a full size case knife with you. The iconic red knife that bears the name Hodinkee on one side doesn’t have a spring bar tool for quick strap changes, but we imagine a motivated enough individual could cut some grooves into the tweezers to make that possible.
