Talking Watches With Hurley Haywood, Legendary Race Car Driver

- If you love motor racing, especially endurance racing, Hurley Haywood needs no introduction. The Chicago-born racecar driver has earned a career that would make him the hero of any aspiring racer, including five wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona, two overall wins at the 12 Hours of Sebring, and three victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Yes, that's a twofer for the triple crown of endurance racing, and those are only the highlights. Haywood is nothing short of a road-racing legend, and he's enjoyed a five-decade partnership with two very important names in the world of endurance racing, Porsche and Rolex.
From all of Hodinkee, we'd like to offer a huge thanks to Hurley, our friends at Porsche, and the fine folks at the Brumos Collection for helping make this video possible. If you're like me, and you love cars and watches and all the ways those two worlds overlap, it's hard to overstate just how much fun it was to chat with Hurley and hear the stories of his racing, his watches, and many of the cars featured at the museum.

Okay now we’re talking, HODINKEE. More of this please. Excellent quality, storytelling, beautifully executed. And can’t go wrong with James!!
Hurley is one of the nicest people in racing. I met him at Barber Motorsports during a fundraising event. Truly an honor!
Hurley is not only a great race car driver, and a great ambassador for two amazing brands, but he’s also a great human! Thank you Hodinkee for telling a great story.
22 years ago I had the greatest honor and pleasure to spend 2 days at Road Atlanta. My wife gave me the Porsche Driving Experience.
Hurley was my instructor for those 2 days. I asked Hurley if he was wearing one of his Daytonas. He said no. He then showed me the Yachmaster.
What a terrific gentleman and legend.
One of the best episodes of talking watches right there. Amazing guest. What a story and achievements! And James is the perfect host
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Hurley at Goodwood Festival of Speed over the years. Great racer, amazing anecdotes and wonderful connection between watches and cars. Bravo!
Wow, what a breath of fresh air from Hodinkee. It's been far to long.
James, made my week for sure! Hurley is such a hero of mine. Your kind and thoughtful interview style, as with your Moki Martin video, allows the subject to tell their story and reveal their humanity. Thank you!!
Mr Stacey. Epitome of class, style and humility.
Hurley is an amazing human, race car driver and Rolex ambassador. You could not find a more of a unique gentleman than him. Truly a living legend.
this goes onto my list of episodes to revisit every now & then! this is the perfect modern talking watches, carrying the charm of the iconic early episodes, with the high quality and cinematic excerpts funded by the today budget. and great interviewer
Incredible video. Again, James shows us why he is such a huge asset to Hodinkee. TGN Slack Crew!
Incredible person, incredible storytelling. It was really a treat to watch. Thank you to the friends at Hodinkee.
Finally a great episode again! Would love to see more of James
Rolex seeks this guy.
Even if its "another box of Rolexes".. this man has achieved them. He had a good relationship with the former chairman of Rolex (which many people could only dream of), the watches were thoughtful gifts for his accomplishments... Hard work and passion.
So its funny how some people without any sense of " Watch and Story" would just dismiss these timepieces as something like a blurr among the other comments below.. Like they've achieved something..
... From a box of stuff
-- The Devil wears Rolex
A genuine American treasure. As good as he was on the track, and he was one of the very best, he’s an even better person off the track. Meet him long ago at Brumos in Jacksonville. The legend Hurley Haywood, I salute you sir.
I met Hurley in the 70s at 24HOD. Super nice guy and down to earth. Legend in the Racing World...
Crazy, the way Hurley describes entering the track at Daytona for the first time and the first few laps is exactly my first impressions when I first raced there in a Porsche 935 Kremer K3.
Having watches gifted to you by Rolex, and engraved on the back by Rolex in honor of that is so unbelievable. Really special stuff here. Excellent video.
Great episode. Love the personal connection to these, not just ticking boxes in a collection
On most Hodinkee videos people comment ‘This is what we want, more of this! It sounds like Hodinkee is giving their audience what they want
Couple of lads right there
That gold datejust is stunning.
“Did he just say husband?” Cal Naughton Jr
Yes, read his book.
One of my favourites of more recent Talking Watches episodes.
What an amazing collection with rich stories behind each piece. Love stories from those who have had such a long and deep relationship with Rolex. Friends of Rolex has been around for quite some time and I am sure there are many unique stores behind each collector
Love, love, this! I really believe that Rolex isn't bought but earned. He really deserved all of it, including the Timex!
Wow what a special interview with a real icon of motorsports. Some great stories behind those watches.
Wow what a cool guy. Also love seeing an air king on the table
Awesome, nothing but respect!
Rolex Rolex Rolex Rolex ! love it great episode
Beautiful episode, so much history and depth into every piece. What an interesting and remarkable gentleman.
after a long time HODINKEE has come up with a talking watches episode for which we all started following HODINKEE for, hope to keep up the streak and do not lose it originality for fame
Absolutely fantastic!
found myself getting emotional watching this, what a lovely story and celebration of lifes achievements
Fantastic, guys! Thanks for bring this to us.
Man awesome episode. Thank you
One of the better talking watched episodes
Great talking watches episode. Thank you for bringing this excellent content. Keep’em coming!!
This is the best talking watches episode I have seen in a long time! Loved it. Very jealous of that Rolex relationship, maybe I need to starting racing at Daytona xD
Pretty cool to get so many of these as gifts from the brand. Rolex does an amazing job aligning themselves with legends.
There is a great contrast in Jamses videos. Hes portrays every casio or any watch enthusiast and yet hes talking to some grates that add value to the rolexes that they put on their wrists. Thats whats so charming, meeting at a common ground
Met and drove with Hurley at the C5 Corvette introduction, classy and intelligent human being.
That was awesome...nice work!
There is a great contrast in Jamses videos. He portrays every true watch enthusiast, whether its casio or rolex. All the pieces he presents are always just a shadow of something much more meaningful
Woah. Filmed literally 15 mins from me that’s awesome. Great episode!!!
Pure class.
What do I need to do to have Rolex give me Rolexes with the back engraved 'Your Friends At Rolex'? Would be a flex today for sure.😂
What do you have to do? Drive like your rear end is on fire......
This was great, what a legend!
Best episode in a very long time
Ending it with a watch pun. Classic.
What a cool video from hodinkee!
Loved the episode. Seems like a great person.
Yes! Such a legend. Can we get a tom kristensen episode? Keeping with rolex and sportscars theme
Superb video
What an excellent video! Great work!
@hodinkee You need an episode with the race car driver Scott Pruett. Probably the largest collection of competition won Rolex Daytona watches.
Best piece from hodinkee in a little while. Love the story integration and the video clips to add depth. Keep this up! Also, should James Stacey be the new face of Hodinkee, or is that just a crazy thought?
Incredible ❤
Fantastic.
Great episode!
Great interview.
Now for the car collection
The LEGEND!!
Legend
Would have been cool if he still had that Timex Ironman in that collection
I need Roland as a friend
Well at least I know there’s another way for me to get a Daytona. Become a race car driver and win one 😂
ok, episode is great but im missing collectors that have gshock squares, seikos, citizens etc…this rolex, AP, patek wheel has become not so interesting for me
you can't get much better than an engraved Rolex, khanjar engravings are cool but these are a whole different level.
man mostly his rolexes were just given by rolex crazy lucky
I'm easy. Put James in a video and I'm there.
He had a direct phone line to Rolex for free watches.
3:00 I love how he wears that DateJust, so sloppy and loose!
he got "con" to get at TT instead of steel:)
Love Porsche Love Rolex
Not gonna sell any watches under my watch
👁️👁️
Great job from Rolex creating there own legacy through legends
Must be nice to have a bunch of amazing Rolex's and not having to pay for any of them.
Please Do Sir Jackie Stewart
More TWatches like these, less rappers and fake celebs
L e g e n d
White Datejust not OP
Another Rolex's collector. Again and again !!
Rolex. Yawn.
Interesting story, but just another plain old collector with a box of Rolexes lol
Earned; not bought!
Yet he wears that watch like a bracelet…..shame
This rolex, that rolex blablabla. Boring
Another Rolex collection *yawn
But I’m pretty sure your next generation will sell them at bid auction house once you have gone to meet your creator, in future.
Pure class.
