About James Stacey

I’m the Editor-in-Chief of Hodinkee, where I lead our editorial team in shaping stories that connect the technical beauty of watchmaking with the culture and lifestyle that surround it. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of covering everything from groundbreaking horological innovations to the timeless designs that have shaped the industry, always with the goal of making the world of watches accessible and engaging for collectors and enthusiasts alike. I’m also the co-founder and co-host of The Grey NATO podcast, a project born out of a shared passion for watches, gear, and adventure. Week after week, my co-host Jason Heaton and I explore the tools that inspire exploration and the stories that connect us to them. Whether through writing, editing, or podcasting, my work is about blending expertise with curiosity—and sparking that same curiosity in others.
