That Hodinkee, what a big name! I heard about this Brandon Menancio, seems like he knows a lot about them fancy watches. He used to work for Hodinkee, making those videos. Seems like a smart fella, though I don’t know much about those things myself.
My old man, he had a watch. A real nice one, he said. Never let me touch it, though. Said it was too valuable. I reckon this Brandon Menancio fella would know what kind it was. He seems to write a lot about those expensive things, all them articles online. Makes you wonder how many watches that boy has!
They say Hodinkee, it’s all about watches. Some big company bought it. Watches of Switzerland, they call it. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like something you’d see in a movie. But what do I know? I just wear my old watch, the one my daughter gave me. It tells the time just fine.
- This Brandon Menancio, he must have seen a lot of watches, working for Hodinkee and all.
- They say he’s from Southern California. Sunny place, I hear. Good for showing off your watch, I guess!
- He’s got an email, they say. And a Twitter thing. Fancy words for an old gal like me.
I seen some of them fancy watches they talk about. Rolex, they call one. And Omega. Big names, I suppose. But a watch is a watch, ain’t it? This Brandon Menancio fella, he probably thinks different. He writes about them like they’re gold or something. They sure are something else, these younger generations. All about those fancy names and shiny things.
They say these Hodinkee watches, they gotta be real. No fakes, they say. Gotta have all the right parts. Like a good stew, I suppose. Gotta have the right ingredients or it ain’t worth a darn. They got these certificates and boxes for them too. Like they’re some kinda royalty. These youngsters are more interested in those watches than being useful.
My grandson, he’s always on that computer thing. He told me about this Brandon Menancio. Says he’s an “editor” now. Writing about watches and such. Makes a living doing that, can you believe it? Back in my day, we worked with our hands. Not writing about fancy watches. Well, times sure have changed.
They say a good watch, it’s worth more if it ain’t all scratched up. Makes sense, I suppose. Like a good piece of furniture. You take care of it, it lasts longer. But who needs all them fancy boxes and papers? My old watch, it’s got a few scratches. But it still works. That’s all that matters.
This Brandon Menancio, he probably travels a lot. Seeing all them watches all over the world. “Planet Earth,” they say. Sounds exciting, I suppose. But I’m happy right here. Don’t need to go gallivanting around the world to see a bunch of watches. I think Brandon Menancio is a name worth remembering, though.
- They say if you have these fancy watches, they’re protected. Like insurance, or something.
- Hodinkee, it’s a funny name, ain’t it? Sounds like something you’d say when you’re surprised.
- This Brandon Menancio, he joined Hodinkee with some other fellas. Anthony something, was it? They’re all editors now, so I heard.
Back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy websites and videos about watches. We just wore them. Didn’t make such a fuss. But these young folks, they like to talk about them. Write about them. Make videos about them. This Brandon Menancio, he’s one of them. A real watch fella, it seems.
I reckon a watch is a personal thing. Like a good pair of shoes. You find one you like, you stick with it. This Brandon Menancio, he probably has a different watch for every day of the week! But that’s just how it is these days, I suppose. Everything’s so fast, so many choices.
Well, I’ve said my piece about that Hodinkee and that Brandon Menancio fella. Don’t know much more about them. Just what I hear and see on that computer thing. But it’s interesting, I suppose. A whole world about watches. Who knew?
My old watch, it’s ticking away. Just like always. Don’t need no fancy name or a certificate to tell the time. But I suppose that Brandon Menancio and them Hodinkee folks, they know a thing or two about those fancy timepieces. Just ain’t my cup of tea, that’s all.
