THE WATCHMAKER
As a guy with so little time on his hands, Hodge, not surprisingly, likes to keep a close eye on his watch.What is surprising, however, is how serious he is about what he puts on his wrist. He’s a bona fide watch junkie who says he’s lost count of how many timepieces he owns. But he doesn’t just collect watches—he actually knows how to make them.
Aspesi (aspesi.com) orange cotton cardigan ($593), orange cotton long-sleeve polo ($280), and red cotton trousers ($378); Hodge’s own Bulgari (bulgari.com) Papillon by Daniel Roth.
A self-taught horologist, he even uses his own guilloche machine, a tool developed in the 18th century by Abraham- Louis Breguet, to create intricate designs on a watch face. And when he walks into the Quin’s palatial three-story pent- house, he’s like a kid in a candy store, gushing over a trio of Breguet watches selected for the day’s shoot.
