Cam Wolf

Senior Style Writer

Cam Wolf is GQ’s Senior Style Writer. He joined the magazine in 2017 after working at Racked (RIP) as the site’s (first!) (and only!) Menswear Editor and Complex in the role of Style News Editor. Shortly into his GQ tenure, he immersed himself in the world of watches and quickly fell in love with its passionate collecting community. In 2022, he launched GQ’s dedicated watch newsletter Box + Papers (Described by one watch dealer as “The only thing worth living for!”) where he chronicles the world’s most interesting watches, trends, and characters. (And pushes his agenda of overlooked, wacky, and well-designed watches.) He’s written extensively about record-breaking auctions and the industry’s most influential figures, completed forensic investigations into Ben Affleck’s watch, and interviewed super collectors like Henry Golding. When he’s not racking up Delta miles flying to Geneva, you can find him in Los Angeles fretting over which watch he’s going to wear that day. You can reach him at cam_wolf@condenast.com.
