Hodinkee Radio: Episode Three: Rian Johnson

Secret watch guys are kind of the best. There’s something so fun about finding out that you and someone you respect for other reasons share a passion for all things horological. When I saw filmmaker Rian Johnson tweet a link to a HODINKEE story, I did a double take. Wait, like, the Rian Johnson? The guy who made Looper, The Brothers Bloom, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi? I quickly fired off a DM (not creepy at all, by the way), and we were in touch just a few hours later.

It turns out that Rian is a true watch nerd. He’s one of us. He’s got a taste for tropical dial Explorers, Amagnetic Patek Philippe Calatravas, and Dirty Dozen military watches, amongst other things. Just a few weeks after exchanging those first messages we met up in Los Angeles with HODINKEE senior writer James Stacey to talk about spotting cool watches in old movies, his creative process, and what watch he’s hunting for next.

We hope you enjoy Episode Three of HODINKEE Radio. Check out the show notes below and let us know what you think in the comments.
