Hi, I’m Tony Traina.

I’m a former attorney and ex-editor at Hodinkee. Now, I’m working on my own newsletter publication called Unpolished. Subscribe here.

I started this newsletter in 2019 while I still a practicing media & technology attorney. In 2022, I joined Hodinkee full-time. I left in October 2024 to pursue my own independent projects. I love vintage watches and modern watches that respect traditional techniques, so that’s what I cover.

In addition to Hodinkee, I’ve written for GQ, Highsnobiety, A Collected Man, and others. You can read more about my background here. The best way to see the kind of stuff I’m into is to poke around my newsletter archives.

I also do consulting, communication, and editorial work for brands, media, and dealers—send an email to discuss collaborations.
