Talking Watches With Brooke Shields, Model, Actress, Entrepreneur, And Icon Of The '80s.
For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.com/articles/tal...
One moment, you're writing 600 words on the supply of Rolex steel sport watches, and the next you find yourself standing in the kitchen of one Brooke Shields, preparing to sit down for a little conversation about - what else - watches. In a gorgeous 19th century townhouse in the heart of New York City's historic (and iconic) West Village, Shields pulled out all the stops, and all the timepieces, for an honest discussion about her career, and how it's mirrored through the watches she's owned and worn.
But why Brooke Shields, and why now? I mean, I don't think we really need a reason to talk to her, but of course, we had one. She recently founded her first entrepreneurial venture called Beginning is Now - a lifestyle brand aimed at promoting and showcasing women starting a new chapter in their lives. In addition, she has a new movie hitting Netflix called A Castle for Christmas. So before you chill too hard in front of the television this holiday season, sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode of Talking Watches.

The fact that she tried to return the GMT master after the original owner passed away just shows that she’s got class. A lovely episode of TW.

@craigh.9810 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, not many people would ever do that!

@pistonburner6448 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, she's got class like being friends with Cuomo, being an "animal rights activist" for PR but then being paid by a fur company to work for them, etc. etc. etc.

I love watches and I absolutely adore, admire, and respect Brooke Shields. I worked with her on "Army Wives," and she is a true giving actor and human being. Her professionalism, kindness, intelligence, and work ethic, is only mirrored by her passion for a positive life, and that energy and spirit shows in her watch collection. Thank you for sharing a beautiful journey and collection through the eyes of a beautiful human being.

Brook just got way cooler in my books, I've always admired her appearance but never got into any of her shows or movies, but because I like watches and seen her in my youth and decades later find out she's into watches, she's really cool. [Edit] I really loved her stories about her mom, grandma, and dad and how they were into watches and her progression from the brand, to stainless, to gold, then diamonds that is awesome especially if you're able to do that. On another note I like the new interviewer, he's pretty cool too, nice one Hodinkee!

I am so impressed with each of the pieces, the stories behind them (the GMT, wow) and her pairings at the end. Well done.
