From favorite lots, sleeper options, the return of the Brando GMT, and a whole lot more, the fall auction season kicks off this weekend, so we wanted to get a special extra episode in just in time to get you ready for the sales.   [Listen Now](   CATCH UP ON PREVIOUS EPISODES [Ben Clymer Presents](   For episode 4, Ben is joined by Geoff Hess – the Head of Watches for Sotheby's Americas and the founder of Rolliefest – to chat all about the world of vintage Rolex. From the continued highs of the Daytona to a softer market for Subs and GMTs, Geoff and Ben chat about their favorite references, the way in which vintage Rolex has changed over the years, and the future plans for Rolliefest.   [Listen Now](   [Ben Clymer Presents](   For episode 3, Ben is joined by Ferdi Porsche, an architect, the founder of [F.A.T. International]( and one of the minds behind the re-birth of Ice Race (you might also remember him from his excellent [appearance on Talking Watches]( and for bringing some of the rarest Porsches to the highest road in Austria). Ferdi and Ben get into his background as a member of the Porsche family, his appreciation for watches, his connection to [Porsche Design]( some of his favorite cars, and a whole lot more.   [Listen Now](   [Ben Clymer Presents](   Episode 2 was recorded live at the theater premiere of Talking Watches with Ed Sheeran and features Ben chatting with Hodinkee's Managing Editor, Danny Milton, about the evolution of Talking Watches over the past 10 years. From the first-ever episode to the selection process, a behind-the-scenes look at what went into the latest episode with John and Ed, and even some questions from the audience – it's an inside look at the world of Talking Watches.   [Listen Now](   [Ben Clymer Presents](   For episode 1, Ben is joined by two special guests – Jean Arnault and Rexhep Rexhepi – on the launch of a very special collaboration between their brands, Louis Vuitton and Akrivia. The watch is called the [LVRR-01 Chronographe à Sonnerie]( and Ben chats with both about how they came to work together, what this new watch means for each brand (and for independent watchmaking) as well as how this collaboration marks a pivotal point in the future of Akrivia, and LV's plans to continue with four more limited edition collaborations. It's a rare treat to have two guests from very different sides of the watchmaking universe, and both offer a unique perspective on their latest collaboration and more – we hope you love it.   [Listen Now](   Hodinkee App Never miss a story, save articles and products for later,and shop all of the latest arrivals in one place.
