To close out the three-day UBS House of Craft NYC, Friday offered an extra fun day that included live podcasts and community events. Kicking off the first session, Perri Dash and Rashawn Smith of The Wrist Check Podcast joined Tim Jeffreys and Mark Kauzlarich for a Hodinkee Podcast crossover episode that had the foursome chatting about a great many topics, including watch enthusiasm in 2025, Perri and Rashawn's recent move to bring their successful podcast to cable television, and the idea of what makes watches iconic.
Later in the afternoon, TanTan Wang hosted a chat with Jhonel Faelnar, the Beverage Director of NA:EUN Hospitality, which includes lauded restaurants like Atomix, Atoboy, and Naro. Jhonel is a watch enthusiast and an avid collector of wine, and the pair spoke about the overlap of those passions while enjoying a special glass of wine on stage.

Stay tuned to the Hodinkee Podcasts feed (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or TuneIn) for upcoming episodes featuring the chats from UBS House of Craft NYC. Aside from the on-stage entertainment, the community event brought a huge number of Hodinkee readers (and their watches) out for a proper hangout.
Scroll on for some of the highlights from the day and from the entire Hodinkee and UBS teams – thank you to all who came out and experienced the Icons of Time exhibition and participated in the events (and to Clarence Chan and Christian Park for capturing so many of the great watches and moments throughout).
