As a copywriter at WatchBox (now The 1916 Company), I worked alongside a team of in-house creatives to write copy for content spanning email, social, app, and web.
It’s widely understood that Haute Horology requires singular focus, unshakable determination, and a lifetime of dedication. Yet, being a “multi-hyphenate” isn’t such a novel concept in the world of horology. In fact, being a versatile, business savvy, renaissance man was necessary for some of the earliest watchmakers, who made their living as farmers in the warmer months and turned to horology in the winter.
Aldis Hodge, entrepreneur, actor, designer, and horologist, is a modern-day multi-hyphenate, balancing a wide range of creative and business ventures with remarkable ingenuity. Tim Mosso caught up with Hodge on a recent visit to New York City to talk independent watchmaking, what it’s like wearing a variety of prestigious hats, and the future of the watch industry.
