HODINKEE Radio Previewing Geneva's Spring 2024 Auction Season

Covering the wild, the weird, and the scholarship-changing in our preview of the upcoming Geneva auctions.

We're back with another Wednesday episode of Hodinkee Radio. In addition to the podcast feed, each episode also has video, so swing by Hodinkee's YouTube channel (or watch below). Only want the audio? It's being published to the same old Hodinkee Radio feed, so check your feeds or subscribe wherever you find your podcasts (might we recommend Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or TuneIn).

We took a week off after Watches & Wonders before hitting the highlights of our 21st Century Fantasy Watch Draft. If you're waiting for the results of your voting, you'll have to wait a little longer – it just gives you enough time to get your votes in before we do the final tally. This week, we're back talking auction action ahead of the upcoming Geneva spring auction season. To do so, we've invited two of our biggest auction lovers – Hodinkee founder Ben Clymer and editor/photographer extraordinaire Mark Kauzlarich – to talk about what they're watching in the upcoming weeks.

Mark Kauzlarich was in sunny Monaco for one of the early auctions ahead of the main Geneva season, so he gives us his thoughts on the results and the state of the market. Then, we jump right into some big lots from the main three auction houses, including some cool motorsports provenance. Check it all out in this week's episode. Oh, and one quick note: We'll be on vacation next week, but stay tuned for more Hodinkee Radio soon.
