Product placement / influencer 50 years ago quite different than today; an example for the Cpt

Back then it was fun to see something you like on screen; now it makes me suspicious of motive and un-stated purchasing reviews or placement of images...
These shots from Hawaii Five-O (sponsored by Ford Motor Co.) last night -- showing classy Citroen Mehari for me, Cadillac limo is my taste too
Corvette Split-Window with home-added sunroof for the Captain (sorry, I could not resist)

LVMH & Hodinkee...

Interesting that they have some financial influence. ...
Hodinkee would be a good candidate for LVMH to buy...
By: patrick_y : November 9th, 2020-10:24
They're already a less than impartial media source... LVMH should just buy it and run their own propaganda agenda, excuse me, PR agenda, on Hodinkee. The funniest thing is that I still meet individuals who like Hodinkee for the wrong reasons and don't rea...
Once LVMH buys it...

Expect Hodinkee to write reviews about LVMH owned hotels and wine, Bulgari jewelry, and Tiffany & Co. products.
The watch finder and co for LVMH
By: Weems@8 : November 9th, 2020-13:05
Richemont and Watch finder and co. Hodinkee and LVMH. Independence and journalism, it is always looking which magazine operates independent. I red Hodinkee in the beginning. While more diving into the watch world, discovering better watch magazines comes ...
Lighten up.. š

Hodinkee produces a polished written product that brings people into the fold. And so what if they sell a few watches and accessories. Luxury watches are first about the feeling one gets when they hunt down the perfect one (to them) and then finally obtai...
I could lighten up about it...
By: patrick_y : November 11th, 2020-10:11
I could lighten up about it, but at the same time, I pour hours into WatchProSite every week trying to improve the world's understanding of the mechanical watch. It's a part of my life's work. If you were as invested in it as I was, you might feel a littl...
The last paragraph says it best...

Hodinkee capitalizes on our irrational love for watches! Plain and simple! It's both judge and jury; or more accurately journalist and retailer; and it does so with profit from both sides of the fence. Well written!
Big contrast
By: Weems@8 : November 9th, 2020-12:41
A Mehari and a Cadillac in one shot. But one thing they both doing good, the soft suspension. Bad roads no problem, like Asian flying carpets. A better comparison to the Cadillac qualities is you know Carzelea is the Citroƫn DS21. And the best car is prob...
Hodinkee has had a positive impact on the watch collecting scene
By: jmpTT : November 11th, 2020-19:39
Today, they are very successful and the blog roots are mostly gone. Some of the writing is still excellent, and we should keep in mind that the person assigned to crush on the 321 Speedmaster would have once done so for free on this site. Not a huge decep...
Hodinkee is classic content marketing
By: Grail-Watch : December 5th, 2020-06:22
And thatās a great partner or buy for LVMH. Maybe this William help the dinosaurs wake up to modern retail and support practices. That said, the whole of Hodinkee is disingenuous, with faux āadvertorialā supporting an in-house sales arm.
