## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need luxury and collector watch industry news — new references, limited editions, auction results, or secondary-market intelligence — sourced exclusively from the two most authoritative enthusiast publications (Hodinkee and Fratello). Prefer it over a general news search when you need domain-curated, horology-specific coverage rather than broad press mentions of watch brands.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if freshness window is too narrow and no articles were published in that period
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may cause a bad request error
- Specifying an unsupported source value outside the hodinkee/fratello enum returns a validation error
- Rate limiting or upstream source unavailability may result in partial or empty results
- Limit values outside the 1–50 range are rejected
