STANDARD H Podcast

Jake Woolf is someone I’ve followed for a while on Instagram, so I was confident I was inviting a bird of a similar feather on the show. We both love to shop, explore, discover, and obsess over product.We get into the weeds into the state of fashion, including trends, designers switching companies like pro athletes do teams, and we also talk about what he’d like to see more of in the near future. We later dive into the first of his several upcoming collaborations he has on the calendar for 2026, and you’ll get first dibs if you start subscribing to his Substack, one of my favorite corners of the internet.You can listed to the audio-only above or watch our conversation below!

Today I welcome back Shinoo Mapleton, the Lotus Guru from Episode 23. It’s been almost 6 years to the day since that episode, which is so hard to believe - We have both moved locations, our brands have shifted and grown, and Shinoo shares how his company, Inokinetic, is evolving still with the addition of Porsche maintenance. Shinoo is an incredibly fun person to talk to - not only is his enthusiasm infectious, but I always seem to learn something from him, and I never know what it’s going to be. Per usual, we left even more on the table this time, so I feel like we’ll just have to bring him back sooner than later.Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_Inokinetic.com This is a public episode.

Tim Green and I first connected over Instagram and later cohosted an event at London-based Subdial, the growing pre-owned watch dealership. You may be familiar with his watch drop videos on YouTube, an exploratory look at some of their weekly inbound inventory. Tim has had a storied history in England as both a watch collector and automotive aficionado - he jokes many car dealers know him by name. We discuss the revolving door of owning both categories, and his constant pursuit of perfection. Tim recently purchased not one, but two Porsches, and we also discuss wha might be his perfect three-watch collection. All of this and more with Mr. Tim Green.Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_SubDialhttps://subdial.com/@subdialwatches@_timgreen_ This is a public episode.

I first started following Toby Bateman when he joined Hodinkee during COVID. His selfies have always brought a smile to my face even though he describes them as “grumpy,” and his watches are a classic approach to design that I certainly appreciate. I was eager to speak with Toby about his various CEO roles at extremely different companies: HODINKEE was obviously watch-based, Vollebak - an incredibly tech-centric apparel brand, and now Mr. Porter, the menswear site he actually helped launch in 2011. This conversation is very heavy in fashion and watch talk. We chat about running Holiday promotions, approaches to our own personal style, and we even touch on a couple of cars in his life. We both looked down and realized an hour and twenty minutes went by, so it’s fair to say this was an effortless discussion and I hope to host Toby again. I hope you enjoy it.Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_Toby Bateman@tobybatemanMr. Porterhttps://www.mrporter.com/@mrporter@mrp This is a public episode.

Steve and I have become friends through watches, which must come as a shock, I’m sure. Steve holds an instrumental place within the Mil Sub community as you’ll soon understand in this episode.I’ve gotten to know Steve through NAABS, an annual meetup of watch collectors which changes locations each year. But this episode is a story, of sorts, about a particular watch that is more or less a sequence of events spanning over a decade. This conversation technically started in person in a restaurant bar in Manhattan several weekends ago. I then said, “We need to hit pause on this so we can record it.” So here we are.I bring you my conversation with Steve Moore also known as @moorewatches on the gram.Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_ This is a public episode.

IWC Watches reached out to Blake and me to host a very special evening in San Francisco last week where we also recorded this podcast live for the 60 people in attendance. We focused on design, both in watches as well as considered things such as Dieter Rams' 10 Principles of Good Design. It was also an evening highlighting the Ingenieur which included having three museum pieces brought in from Schaffhausen! We had an original SL "Jumbo" from 1977, a "Test Watch" from 1993, and one from 1983. More on all of the above in this special episode. Thank you so much to IWC and for everyone who attended this very special evening. Blake and I both hope to continue to do these events and would love to come to a city near you!
