The Worn & Wound Podcast (Worn & Wound Podcast Network)

This episode of A Week In Watches is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything: 42. It is also the lead in to Watches & Wonders, which begins tomorrow. Our editorial team will be there in full force, and you can follow along with all the action right here on Worn & Wound, and on our YouTube channel, which you can subscribe to right here. In the lead up to the show, we’re seeing plenty of exciting releases hoping to get the jump on things, so this week we’re taking a look at something new (but also old) from Urwerk in the form of a new 102 Reloaded. We’ve also got looks at new watches from Czapek, Longines, Vulcain, and Furlan Marri for a healthy selection of new watches across the spectrum.

We’ve got plenty more to say about the new Longines Spirit Flyback Chronograph right here, a watch that reclaims the brand’s history as the first to use a flyback mechanism in a wristwatch back in the 1920s. Keep an eye out for hands-on impressions of the rest of these watches coming to the pages of Worn & Wound soon. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner talks to Christopher Ward’s co-founder Mike France. Christopher Ward just released their new C65 Super Compressor dive watch, and in this conversation Mike takes us through the process of bringing this watch to market – the first genuine super compressor to be made in decades. Blake and Mike cover a ton of ground here, including the tech behind super compressors, the debate over whether or not to include a display case back, and the reasoning behind the C65 Super Compressor’s cushion case design (another first for Christopher Ward). But it’s not all dive watch talk – Blake and Mike also discuss the development of Christopher Ward’s SH21 movement, the importance of being connected to the enthusiast community, and a whole lot more. 

This week’s episode of the Worn & Wound Podcast is brought to you by Seiko and their iconic Seiko 5 Sports line of watches. Seiko has released a diverse range of new Seiko 5 Sports watches, designed to fit any style. The new introductions fit into five distinct style categories: Sports, Suits, Street, Specialist, and Sense, each incorporating different color schemes and materials.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re looking ahead to 2022, and talking about what we want to see more of from our favorite brands (and the industry as a whole) in the new year. Will brands like Tudor move from 2021’s niche releases (they really made a silver dive watch last year, people) to a more mass market approach? What are we about to see from IWC in 2022? Is this the year of the dress watch? All will be revealed in time, but for now give a listen to this week’s episode, and let us know what you expect from 2022 in the comments below, or on Instagram.

On this week’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, we talk to Matthew Hranek, author of the book, “A Man and his Watch.” Matt’s a bit of a media jack-of-all-trades; he’s a writer, editor, photographer, blogger, director, and a one-time television show host. He’s also a total watch guy. Today, we discuss his hit book, how it came to be, and what drew him to the stories of other collectors.

On this episode of a Week in Watches we cover a lot of territory. We start in Geneva with the GPHG, taking a look at a handful of this year’s winners, and then head to the UK to go offroad with Bamford and Land Rover. From there we go flying with Massena Lab and Matthey-Tissot, diving with the new Super Squale, and finally to Japan for the new Chronograph 1 Mk 2 by Kurono.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Whatnot, a live stream auction app where you can buy and sell unique items. Come join the Windup Watch Shop for their first stream on Tuesday, November 22nd at 4pm ET, where they will be showing and selling various items from the shop, including the Zodiac Blueberry GMT and ADPT Series 1 Watches.

With the upcoming holiday weekend and our minds on turkey and stuffing, we're taking a small break this week (don't worry, we'll be back next week with a good one). But with Thanksgiving being one of the most traveled holidays of the year, we've rounded up some of our favorite past episodes to make those hours on the road a little less miserable. You can find them below, and of course you can find our entire past catalog wherever you listen to podcasts.

It's March 21, 2018, and we've just arrived in Basel, Switzerland. Naturally, the first thing we did (well, not the first—we did have to drop off our luggage) was beeline straight to Baselworld to get a quick look at some of this year's hottest releases from Tudor, Seiko, and Nomos. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favorite drink, and learn why we've nicknamed this year's Baselworld, "Tudorworld."

This episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast is brought to you by Hamilton Watch.

We’ve got a great show for you all this week. In the first half of the episode, I’m joined by our Associate Editor Zach Kazan, and he and I talk about a story he wrote some time ago, titled “The Backyard Breguet: How An Exceedingly Rare Watch Made it to Auction.” Now, we don’t normally cover auctions here on Worn & Wound, but every now and then we make an exception when the story of the auction and the watch being sold is really good. This “backyard Breguet” was a true horological find, and one that almost went under the radar because it was so unusual. I won’t get too into it here, but it’s a great reminder that there are still gems out there waiting to be discovered.

In the second half of the episode, I’m joined by Arianna Pozza, the Head of Product Category Watches at Victorinox Swiss Army. I’m a fan of Victorinox and I have been for a long time, and I especially like their overbuilt INOX series, so I was really excited to get Arianna on the show to discuss that. But we also cover other topics, including her career trajectory in the watch industry, the brand’s approach to women’s watches, and a whole lot more.

This week’s episode is brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re going deep on the barrage of recent releases from Seiko and Grand Seiko, discussing several of their new watches in depth, and answering your most pressing questions on the new releases. Last week saw the introduction of many new models, and served as a kickoff to Seiko’s big 140th anniversary. We’ve got new Alpinists, a dive watch paying tribute to a great Japanese mountaineer, and, at long last, an affordable Seiko GMT with local jumping hours in the Presage line. There’s a lot to talk about, and we frankly only scratched the surface, so if there’s a Seiko or Grand Seiko release announced recently that you particularly enjoy that we didn’t touch on, be sure to let us know in the comments. 

This week’s episode is brought to you by Melbourne Watch and their new Collins automatic moonphase. Melbourne Watch is a familiar face to the enthusiast watch community, especially Worn & Wound readers. Founded in 2013, Melbourne is best known for producing stylish and affordable sport and dress watches that offer great value. Melbourne is back with the Collins, a classically-styled automatic moonphase, available in limited quantities at launch. 

Powered by the Swiss-made Sellita SW-280 automatic movement, the Collins moonphase display pays homage to the Australian night sky, depicting the Southern Cross star constellation. At just $775 US, the Collins is a compelling package for anyone looking to get a mechanical complication not typically available at this price point. To learn more about the Melbourne Collins, head to melbournewatch.com.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’ve got Blake Buettner, Patrick Marlett, Thomas Calara, and Zach Weiss talking about a wide range of topics. First and foremost, Patrick hasn’t seen The Big Lebowski, and the entire team needs to take a minute to adjust to this distressing new information. Watches are eventually discussed as well, including a new and very difficult to acquire Porsche Design chronograph, and the latest release from Massena LAB, a historically accurate tribute to the Mathey-Tissot Type XX. Then the conversation turns to a recent influx in watches with meteorite dials, and the team wonders aloud what other interesting materials enterprising brands might decide to make watch dials out of. Beer can dials, anyone?

This week on the podcast, we’ve got a full roster of Worn & Wound team members on the mic to talk about some of the recent news in the watch world, as well as a topic that’s near and dear to all of us: navigating the enthusiast forums to sell your watches online. Zach Kazan recently wrote an editorial that asked if this process has ever been more problematic, and on this episode the whole team is here to share their thoughts. There’s also a discussion about a big new release from Longines, and one of the more interesting small brands we’ve come across as of late, the Impossible Watch Company, based in Talkeetna, Alaska. All that, plus a spirited defense of The Snyder Cut, coming from Zach W. and Zach K., as you’d expect.

Welcome to episode one hundred of A Week in Watches! It’s hard to believe we’ve reached this milestone—what started in 2022 as a weekly rundown of the latest watch releases has now spanned two and a half years. We’ve covered countless releases from big brands, independent watchmakers, and everything in between. There have been plenty of opinions shared, a few laughs along the way, and most importantly, a thriving community of viewers who have made this journey so rewarding. Your continued support, comments, and enthusiasm keep this show going.

To mark episode 100, we wanted to do something special, so we reached out to the Worn & Wound Plus Slack community and our Instagram followers for a special AMA session with Zach Weiss. Thank you to everyone who submitted questions, and apologies if we didn’t get to yours.

This episode is made possible by the Windup Watch Shop, featuring Worn & Wound’s latest limited edition collaboration with Nivada Grenchen—the 36mm Meca-Quartz Datomaster in green and teal with a hint of purple. Check those out and more here.

This week on the podcast, Zach and Kat are joined by Ed Jelley to chat about two of the biggest watch releases of the year so far: new divers from Seiko and a brand new white dialed Speedmaster Professional from Omega. These new watches generated a lot of buzz when they were unveiled within days of each other recently, and with Ed owning both a Speedy Pro and a prior version of the Seiko 62MAS influenced diver unveiled recently, we knew we had to get his take on both. 

Later, Zach, Kat, and Ed discuss their favorite watches under $1,000, inspired by a recent feature on the website. As Ed points out, this is a great time to have $1,000 to spend on a watch, with an unending variety of styles to choose from. The group talks through some of their favorites from Brew, Hamilton, Lorier, Doxa, and more.

On this episode of Time on Screen, Zach welcomes Ricardo Simé to the podcast to chat about Focus, an underseen 2015 film starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie. Focus has become something of a cult favorite since it came and went at the box office nearly ten years ago, and it strikes a particular chord if you’re a watch collector with what are some frankly terrifying scenes involving watch theft. Theft is something that’s on the mind of many watch collectors these days - it seems like a week doesn’t go by where a story isn’t shared of someone losing their watch to a thief, so Focus is incredibly topical at the moment. In addition to that, it’s just an incredibly entertaining crime film with a ton of great screwball energy and real chemistry between Smith and Robbie, with one of the best gambling scenes we’ve ever seen on film.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Max of Watch Crunch, a new and exciting social platform for watch lovers. Watch Crunch was launched only about three months ago, but it’s been in the works for much longer, and has made quite a splash in a relatively short period of time (it grew out of what was already a pretty successful YouTube channel). The idea is simple: provide a platform for watch lovers to connect over their shared interests in a new way. Sounds like a forum, you might say. But this one was created from the ground up with watch enthusiasts in mind, making it easy to share photos, reviews, ask questions, and more, all with a personalized feed tailored to your interests. Max has a lot planned for Watch Crunch going forward, and he talks about some of that, as well as how this all came about, in this conversation with Blake Buettner.

Today, a special episode of the Worn & Wound podcast featuring Oris North America CEO V.J. Geronimo and Luis Clemente, son of the late Roberto Clemente, and President of the Roberto Clemente Foundation. As you might be aware, Oris and the Roberto Clemente Foundation collaborated recently on a limited edition version of the brand’s Big Crown Pointer Date. In this interview, V.J. and Luis talk about how the project came about, some of the details that make the watch special, and Roberto Clemente’s legacy. Enjoy the show, and be sure to check out the Roberto Clemente Foundation for information on how you can get involved in supporting the life’s work of Roberto Clemente.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are happy to be joined by Nicholas Manousos, Executive Director of the Horological Society of New York. The HSNY is one of the world’s oldest continuously operating horological associations in the world, and Nicholas speaks with us about the organization’s history, mission, and some new initiatives that they’ve recently launched. One of those projects that Worn & Wound readers might be particularly interested in is HSNY’s new chronometer certification process, which debuted in a recent collaboration between Habring and Massena LAB (and immediately sold out). We get the full backstory on how HSNY goes about certifying a chronometer, why it’s important, and what to expect from the program going forward. Anyone interested in the history (and future) of horology in the United States is really going to enjoy this conversation.

Welcome to episode 34 of A Week in Watches, where we’ve got managing editor Blake Buettner jumping back in to discuss a handful of new releases, and one important survey. We’re kicking things off with the biggest news of the week that’s focused on something very small from Omega, and that is their new Spirate Balance, which we introduce on the site right here, and react to in real time right here. We still not sure how it’s pronounced but the technology is impressive! The watch its packed in also makes quite the statement, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this one.

That Omega wasn’t the only big news this week, though. Brew dropped a stunning gold Metric on us that works way better than it has any business doing. Is this the watch that gets us into gold? Likely. Next up are a couple releases from the UK, with the 36mm Three Hander collection of watches from Farer, and new C65 Dune watches from Christopher Ward. Lots of unique personality to find in these watches, from big colorful dials, to svelte shapely cases. Finally, we’ve got a watch and wrist size survey from Mark Cho of NYC’s The Armoury. Let your voice be heard by taking the survey found right here.

This week on the podcast, Blake and Zach are joined by Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie, a brand that has captured our attention of late like few others. Moser has developed a reputation in the realm of independent watch brands as something of a disruptive force. They made a watch out of cheese, after all. But their bold moves over the last decade, which include a foray into the metaverse, all serve to draw attention to the Swiss watch industry itself, and to push it forward in ways other brands might not. In this conversation, Ed gets into why those values are important to Moser as a brand, and we also dive deep into Vantablack, Moser’s philosophy when it comes to brand collaborations, and that incredible Streamliner bracelet.

This week’s episode of A Week in Watches will be slightly different. Actually, the next few weeks will be as news is slow this time of year. So, this week is a Q&A! We took three questions that were submitted by readers/viewers/listeners via our instagram account. But, we couldn’t skip the news entirely as Seiko wanted to get a headstart on next year and dropped some sweet limited editions.

This week’s episode was brought to you by WatchCrunch.com. If there’s one thing we watch enthusiasts like to do, it’s to look at and talk about watches. WatchCrunch is a new social media platform that helps us to do just that. Like a mix between Instagram and a watch forum, but easier to and more accessible than either, it’s a dedicated platform for watch enthusiasts. It’s also really easy to use and get set up with and packed full of great features. Head to WatchCrunch.com now to get started.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake, Kat, and Thomas get on the mic to discuss some recent Worn & Wound content, a bunch of great new releases, and other odds and ends. From Thomas’s recent Out of Office column to Kat’s Three for $5k, plus watches from the likes of Serica, Furlan Marri, and, oh yeah, Seiko, there’s a lot to cover. And somehow there’s still time to talk about the finer points of domed crystals.

Break out your red caps and speedos, this week Time on Screen is tackling The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Wes Anderson’s follow up to The Royal Tenenbaums was a box office flop and a definite miss with critics when it was released in 2004, but over the years the film’s reputation has improved, and it is now considered one of Anderson’s most emotionally complex and ambitious projects. Featuring great performances from Bill Murray and a stellar supporting cast that includes Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, and others, The Life Aquatic is particularly rewarding on a rewatch, as there are endless sight gags, easter eggs, and new ways to view the arc of the Zissou character. 

Today’s episode features Zach Kazan and his guest Kyle Snarr, making his return to the Time on Screen podcast to talk about not only his favorite Wes Anderson movie, but his favorite movie, period. Not only is The Life Aquatic a fantastic example of Anderson’s visual style and the themes he’d go on to explore in similar depth with later films, but it has some great watch spotting, including a fun and affordable diver that Kyle is sporting on this very recording.

Ricardo and Blake return to discuss round 8 of the 2023 Formula 1 season, which was run in Barcelona, Spain. The Mercs show signs of life, Aston takes a step back, Ferrari continues to struggle, and Verstappen remains dominant.

Welcome to episode 44 of A Week In Watches, a week where we recover from the hustle bustle of Watches & Wonders, and ponder some of the releases that may have slipped through the cracks. We talk about a new world timer watch from Ming, a few new watches from Frederique Constant, more hits from Chopard, and even a new LM Perpetual variant in steel from MB&F (more from the M.A.D. House coming soon!). Stay tuned as we get our hands on many of these new release for more in-depth reviews. We also caught wind of a new batch of cities selected to sell the MoonSwatch Mission to Moonshine, for one day only this past week. What will this mean for future availability? Do we want more of these special edition MoonSwatches? Let us know in the comments or head over to YouTube to join the discussion.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are taking over while Blake is on vacation for a special episode where they tackle questions from our Worn & Wound+ Slack community. These questions were a lot of fun and really ran the gamut, covering everything from flexing your Rolex at the gym, to caring for your watch bracelets, and favorite articles and photography campaigns we’ve been involved with. We’ll definitely be doing this again, so if you have questions for members of the Worn & Wound team, drop them in the comments. Better yet, join the Worn & Wound+ community by clicking here.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, we welcome Chris Grainger, the CEO of IWC. We talk to Chris about IWC’s latest tech-forward watches, take a deep dive into their unique ceratanium material, discuss the finer points of handset selection, and look forward to what IWC might have in store in the not too distant future. While we often associate IWC with their pilot’s watches, there’s a lot going on at the brand in terms of advancing new tech, and if you’re interested in interesting new watchmaking technologies, particularly as they relate to sports watches, you’ll want to give this one a listen. 

Before our interview with Chris, take a look at what we think was some pretty big news to drop a few weeks ago, and that’s a new release from Frederique Constant. The Slimline Monolithic Manufacture uses a silicon oscillator as a replacement for the balance and balance spring, which is a pretty major technological advancement that few brands have even attempted, and Frederique Constant has accomplished at a price point far below the likes of some of the Swiss luxury brands that have played in this market. We break down the new tech and give our thoughts on what this means for the brand in the first half of the podcast.

The summer season is in full swing with round 9 of the 2023 Formula 1 season at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in the Canadian GP. Ricardo and Blake return to discuss the race, which saw most of its excitement take place in a very wet qualifying session. Despite the tire drama of qualifying, the starting order wasn't too far out of the norm, especially after a penalty knocked Hass' Kevin Magnussen off the front row. There was plenty more to discuss after this race, from a rebounding Aston Martin team, a Mercedes team that is finally understanding its car, and a worrying trend continuing for Sergio Perez. We talk about all this and more in the full episode below. 

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re discussing the watch collecting lifestyle. It’s a big and somewhat loaded topic, but we wanted to talk about perception versus reality when it comes to watch collecting, the impact of social media on the hobby, and how the visibility of watches in our culture impacts us in large and subtle ways. This week, we’re lucky to be joined by one of our favorite Instagram follows, @watchsymmetry (Thomas, if you prefer to use, you know, real names). Along the way, we answer your questions about watch collecting and the current state of the hobby.

But before that, we talk about some of the key new releases of the past week. This week happened to see a long awaited hand wound chronograph from Hamilton, and some design forward new watches from Tissot and Maurice Lacroix that have proven to be somewhat polarizing, and mesh pretty well with some of the ideas within our main topic. 

This week’s episode is brought to you by Melbourne Watch and their new Collins automatic moonphase. Melbourne Watch is a familiar face to the enthusiast watch community, especially Worn & Wound readers. Founded in 2013, Melbourne is best known for producing stylish and affordable sport and dress watches that offer great value. Melbourne is back with the Collins, a classically-styled automatic moonphase, available in limited quantities at launch. 

Powered by the Swiss-made Sellita SW-280 automatic movement, the Collins moonphase display pays homage to the Australian night sky, depicting the Southern Cross star constellation. At just $775 US, the Collins is a compelling package for anyone looking to get a mechanical complication not typically available at this price point. To learn more about the Melbourne Collins, head to melbournewatch.com.

On today’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, Zach and Ilya talk to Jason Lim of Halios watches. Halios is one of the older micro-brands we’ve covered here on Worn & Wound, and it’s also one of the most beloved. In large part, that’s due to Jason’s keen design sensibilities—Halios has yet to produce a dud. In fact, each release builds on the one that came before it, showing an increased level of refinement with every new watch. Today, we talk to Jason about his brand, how he got started, and what the future holds in store. In the latter half of the episode, Jason answers some of the questions you submitted on Instagram.

This week on Time on Screen, the team is stuck in a time loop, forced to podcast over and over again until they defeat the alien invaders and save the planet. Or something like that. On this episode, Zach is joined by Worn & Wound co-founder Zach Weiss and Media Production Manager Kat Shoulders to discuss Edge of Tomorrow, the 2014 Doug Liman directed Tom Cruise vehicle that sees our hero donning a mech-suit and retaking Europe from the alien hordes over the course of a brutal day that he must relive again and again. Edge of Tomorrow was considered a bit of a box office failure when it was released in 2014, but it’s aged well, and its time loop structure makes it a great candidate for a rewatch.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking tool watches. Hot on the heels of the NATO strap kerfuffle, Zach Kazan wrote a piece that says “farewell” to the traditional tool watch, and in today’s episode we go deep into the purpose of tool watches in our lives in 2021 and beyond. Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara join in on the conversation as we try to nail down what it means to be a tool watch fan these days, and we also recap a successful Windup Watch Fair and discuss some recent new releases of note.

Should watches exist in their own space, or are they in fact just a small part of the broader world of gear? This panel, moderated by Worn & Wound’s Kyle Snarr, digs into the crossovers between watches and everyday carry products. Panelists include: Ryan Coulter of the James Brand; Jon Gaffney of Tornek Rayville; and Kat Shoulders of Worn & Wound.

This week, the Worn & Wound podcast is coming to you live from our stage at the Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco. We were so happy to have Stephen Pulvirent join us for this recording in front of an audience on day 2 of the fair. Stephen probably doesn’t need much of an introduction to most of our podcast listeners – he’s a veteran of the industry, and the former Manager of Editorial Operations at Hodinkee (he also hosted Hodinkee Radio). He joined Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan for a discussion focusing on a topic that we find ourselves returning to frequently, how to navigate the the watch world as it continues to be dominated by hype, and the challenges of figuring out and refining your taste in an environment where we’re constantly being “influenced.” As you can probably imagine, everyone had a lot to say on this topic, and it was a really fun conversation.

Welcome to episode 36 of A Week in Watches! We tackle a packed week of news from the likes of Audemars Piguet, Citizen, Seiko, and the return of Meraud with an incredibly charming chronograph called the Antigua. Audemars Piguet dropped plenty of new watches on the world this week, including their most complicated watch ever, the RD4 in the Code 11:59 body. Read more of our thoughts on the new AP releases right here. Seiko revealed a new movement in a trio of new King Seiko references, as well as a special 110th Anniversary King Seiko with a beautiful geometric brown dial.

Finally, we discuss a sophomore release from the brand Meraud, who impressed us with their Antigua, a colorful hand wound chronograph with a rather unexpected movement. You can read more of our thoughts on this watch in this hands-on review. Catch all this and more in the full episode below, and be sure to subscribe for more great watch content.

In this edition of Time on Screen, recorded following a festive Fourth of July weekend during which no members of the Worn & Wound team were eaten by a shark, Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr examine Jaws, Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic, and perhaps the ultimate summer movie. Jaws is often credited with creating the modern summer blockbuster, and in this conversation we look at exactly how that happened, from an ingenious and novel marketing strategy to old fashioned great technical filmmaking.

As watch fans are likely aware, Jaws is also a great watch spotting movie, and has made a cult hit out of the humble Alsta Nautoscaph, worn by Richard Dreyfuss throughout the film. Kyle has spent significant time with the Alsta, and gives his impressions of the watch, along with some thoughts on alternative watch casting for other members of the Orca shark hunting crew.

Show Notes:

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is back from Geneva, fighting jetlag, and chatting with Devin Pennypacker about the broad strokes of Watches & Wonders, how the show was received back home, and some of the notable watches released last week. We’ll have a much more thorough breakdown of Watches & Wonders and the surrounding events next week once the whole team has returned from Switzerland, so stay tuned for that discussion coming soon. 

The rest of the episode is dedicated to talking about a unique collecting phenomenon: the consolidation that many collectors attempt in light of the announcement of so many new novelties. It turns out that post Watches & Wonders is often a great time to troll WatchRecon, eBay, and elsewhere for pre-owned watches being unloaded to fund a newly announced shiny new thing. Devin is currently going through a bit of collection purge himself, and he and Zach talk about how they decide to let something go, and when they know it’s the right time to jump on something new.

So now that we've had some space to recover post-Baselworld 2017, we thought it was a good time to get Ilya, Zach and Blake to sit down and do a postmortem on the show. So that's what today's episode of The worn&wound Podcast is all about. We discuss what we liked, plenty about what we didn't, and what the state of the show this year might mean for the future of the watch industry.

Time On Track returns to discuss round 15 of the 2023 Formula 1 season, which saw rain free racing happen around Italy's historic Monza circuit. Ferrari threw everything but the kitchen sink at their car this week to bring the fight to Red Bull around their home track, and they damn near succeeded. While the inevitable 10th straight Verstappen victory indeed came to pass, Carlos Sainz managed to lead the first 19 laps from pole, providing us our first bit of meaningful racing at the front of the pack this season. Sergio managed to nab P2, but Carlos earned a P3 finish for his heroic drive, as well as the well deserved driver of the day award. 

On this week’s episode, Zach speaks with Bradley Price of Autodromo, Paul Sweetenham of Farer, MK II’s Bill Yao, Halios founder Jason Lim, and TJ McKnight from Zodiac. Today’s question: What watches or brands, vintage or modern, are you most inspired by? 

This week’s episode of the Worn & Wound Podcast is brought to you by Alpina, founded in 1883. Their recently released Seastrong Diver Gyre Automatic is a capable diver with a focus on reducing its environmental footprint.

The Alpina Seastrong Diver Gyre Automatic is a stylish 300-meter dive watch, but what really sets it apart is its innovative case construction designed to reduce waste without sacrificing performance. The Gyre’s case has been manufactured from 70% plastic debris collected from fishing nets in the Indian Ocean. The remaining 30% of the case is made of fiberglass, adding rigidity and making it just as suitable for diving as a watch made from traditional materials. 

To learn more about the Alpina Seastrong Diver Gyre Automatic, or to purchase one today, head to us.alpinawatches.com.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by writer, diver, podcast host, and, most recently, published novelist, Jason Heaton. Jason has been writing for Hodinkee from nearly the very beginning, and is a co-host of the Grey Nato podcast, which is definitely something you should be listening to if you’re not already subscribed. He also recently published his much anticipated first novel, Depth Charge, and we’re excited to have him on mic to talk about the journey of bringing his first novel to print. We also, of course, talk about watches, and get Jason’s thoughts on the state of the watch industry today and how it’s changed, and some of the new watches that have caught his attention.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake is recording straight from Dubai, where he’s been taking in the sights, sounds, and watches of Dubai Watch Week. He’s joined by Mark Kauzlarich, who you probably know from his great photography and his work as an editor at Hodinkee. Blake and Mark discuss the general vibe of Dubai Watch Week (in short, lots of crazy watches, cars, and everything else exotic) and some of their favorite watches making their debut at the show, including an Oris with an unusual colorful dial and an absolutely crazy MB&F Horological Machine.

On this week’s episode of the Worn & Wound podcast, we take a look back at the year that was in watches. For this end of year episode, we’re joined by special guest Eric Wind, of Wind Vintage. Eric is a vintage watch expert, who before striking out on his own with Wind Vintage served as a Vice President at Christie’s, where he oversaw many important watch sales and developed an expertise that is highly sought after in the community. You might be familiar with Eric’s work with Hodinkee in the past, and he’s also been featured in the New York Times, GQ, The Robb Report, and many other publications. We’re thrilled that he joined us for a chat about some of our collective 2020 favorites, and also to discuss some of the key watch trends that we observed this year.

We hope you enjoy this episode, and want to thank all of you for listening throughout the year. We can’t wait to bring you more podcasts in 2021!

On this week’s episode of A Week in Watches, we have news from Furlan Marri, Arcanaut, Baltic, Oak & Oscar, and Seiko. Furlan Marri returns to its roots with a new chronograph, but this time with a high-end mechanical chronograph movement. Arcanaut debuts two new watches in the D’Arc Colors line, one featuring a very unexpected dial material. Baltic adds some gold to existing models, and they look killer. Oak & Oscar team up with a local Illinois whiskey brand for a very cool collab. And, finally, Seiko debuts some new, and very nice, mechanical chronographs.

This episode was sponsored by Artem and their new HydroFlex watch strap. Crafted with a premium FKM rubber base and layered with their signature synthetic embossed material, “HydroFlex” is water-resistant, flexible, durable, and comfortable immediately out of the box, with no break-in period.

This week on the podcast, Zach welcomes Worn & Wound contributor Nathan Schultz. Nathan has been writing for Worn & Wound for nearly a year, and is the creator of the “Selling Points” series, where he brings his unique perspective on finding value (and sometimes not finding value) to the Worn & Wound community. Zach and Nathan talk about Nathan’s history in the hobby and what draws him specifically to affordably priced watches. They also talk about watch modding culture and how Nathan recently did some surgery on a Bulova Hack to fix a noisy rotor.

The Empire Strikes Back!

Had there been any doubt as to the dominance of Red Bull after the Australian GP, the team quickly laid waste to their skeptics. With a 1-2 finish, they re-established the chokehold they have on this season of racing. Yet even with this display of excellence, the Japan GP still gave us a plethora of storylines to dive into this week.

We had different tire strategies across multiple teams, with some drivers quickly realizing such strategies left them high and dry. We saw clear winners like Yuki Tsunoda, who continues to prove that he is better than this version of Daniel Ricciardo. To Sergio Perez, who bounced back after a tough week to secure P2. But we also saw clear losers. From the aforementioned Mr. Ricciardo to a Lance Stroll who just can’t seem to find the pace in a pretty decent Aston Martin. Tune in and listen to this episode for more of our thoughts and observations of the Japan GP.

For the first episode of 2018, we’re looking at alternatives to iconic watches. Want an Omega Speedmaster? Pining for a Rolex Submariner? How about a Cartier Tank? Today, we’ll be discussing lower-priced, non-homage alternatives.

This episode of a Week in Watches covers a lot of ground. First Hamilton shrinks the Murph, and then Atelier Wen alters our perceptions. Meanwhile, Oris’ new LE is proving very hot and Hanhart’s new chronographs pack a mechanical punch. All in all, some excellent releases.

This week’s episode was brought to you by WatchCrunch.com. If there’s one thing we watch enthusiasts like to do, it’s to look at and talk about watches. WatchCrunch is a new social media platform that helps us to just that. Like a mix between Instagram and a watch forum, but easier to and more accessible than either, it’s a dedicated platform for watch enthusiasts. It’s also really easy to use, get set up with, and packed with great features. Head to WatchCrunch.com now to get started.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re once again joined by Dana Li, founder of Tell the Time, a watch platform focused on providing a female driven perspective on the watch world. In this episode, after a brief discussion on the influx of Lunar New Year watches and some other new releases from a busy first month of the year, Dana, Zach Kazan, and Zach Weiss play a game of Overrated/Underrated, each proposing a handful of topics and asking for the group’s hottest take: are these overrated or underrated? Discussion points include micro-adjustment on bracelet clasps, the various flavors of gold in watch cases, and vintage watches in general.

This episode was sponsored by Citizen and their new Promaster Air Automatic GMT watch, a first for the Promaster line. The launch celebrates the 35th anniversary of Promaster, a line that embodies the spirit of adventure in the air, on land or at sea and lives up to the values of functionality, durability, and performance.

This week on the podcast, Worn & Wound cofounder Blake Malin welcomes Kyle Snarr and Nelly Calhoun to the podcast to talk all things Windup Watch Fair, which debuts for the first time in Dallas this weekend. Not only do they break down the event—they also go into detail around when, why, and how our fourth Windup event ended up deep in the heart of Texas. Between a full roster rundown of the sponsors and surrounding events, as well as rapid-fire questions to our esteemed Partnership Team guests, feel free to sit back and buckle up for an episode that may—or may not—stay on the rails.

Here’s a quick reminder of the details of the latest edition to our Windup Watch Fair roster.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach and Kat are talking all about their gateway watches. Inspired by the launch of the final version of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five, an historically accurate tribute to the earliest versions of the iconic diver, they discuss some of the watches that brought them into the hobby years ago, and what makes for a good “gateway” watch, anyway. The Divers Sixty-Five, of course, was a forum favorite when it was introduced a decade ago, and likely responsible for many enthusiasts getting their foot in the door. 

We’d love to know which watches in your collection, or maybe a previous version of your collection, were your gateways into the hobby. Leave those in the comments and let us know what you think the gateway watches of today are, or if they haven’t changed much from those of a previous generation.

It’s been a busy week in the watch world, and we’re covering a lot of ground in this week’s Worn & Wound podcast to get to as much watch news as we can. First, we take you through the all new Zodiac x Worn & Wound Super Sea Wolf Limited Edition, our latest collaboration, and an LE that’s been in the works for a long time. Zach Weiss is here this week to talk about the wide ranging design influences that went into this Super Sea Wolf with a heavy 90s vibe. If sneakers and outdoor gear mean anything to you, and you have a fondness for bold colors in your watches, you’ll want to give this a listen. 

We also spend some time talking about the current state of limited editions following the release of new watches from Ming x Massena Lab as well as Kurono Tokyo. These brands took different approaches with their big releases last week, with wildly different results. We want to put the question to our listeners: what’s the right way to release a limited edition watch in 2021? 

Next, we discuss some of the watches featured in our recent guide to finding value in exotic complications. From Frederick Constant to Gorilla, there’s a world of complications out there that represent a ton of value compared to watches that cost several times as much, and it’s an interesting exercise to pick a handful and look at the highest end and entry level. If you have a favorite value oriented complication that would normally be found in a much higher priced watch, be sure to leave it in the comments. 

And finally, we take our best guesses at predicting the latest release from Tudor. Anyone who has played this particular game before knows how difficult it is (did anyone figure that a sterling silver Black Bay Fifty-Eight would be making its way to us this year?), but we didn’t let that stop us from laying out some fairly wild guesses.

In this new episode of Time on Screen, Zach welcomes Worn & Wound cofounder and CEO Blake Malin to the podcast for the very first time. Today’s movie is The Firm, the 1993 legal thriller starring Tom Cruise and featuring an incredible cast of great supporting actors. Why The Firm? Well, there are definitely some great watches in the movie, but this is all about Zach and Blake’s interest in 90s legal thrillers, which were a burgeoning genre at the time and have proven to be incredibly rewatchable decades later. In this episode, they break down what they like about The Firm specifically, but also get into why this period of time was “peak lawyer” in so many ways, chart their own thwarted legal careers, and why the two-tone Submariner is the most offensive 1990s watch.

On episode 87 of A Week in Watches, we take a look at a couple of new releases and then talk a bit about the state of the watch industry. First up are some sexy new Grand Seiko US exclusives with Kirazuri dials. After, we have the newest offering from TAG Heuer x Hodinkee, which revives a very cool old complication. Lastly, Zach Weiss gives his two cents on all of the gloomy news about the watch industry and whether or not it should matter to enthusiasts.

On today's episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, we decided to do something a little different. We turned to Instagram and Instagram Live for questions about Baselworld from you all, and we recorded our answers for today's show. We cover a wide range of topics, from the show's hottest releases to our favorite booth designs of the fair.

Today's episode is brought to you by the Worn & Wound Shop.

 

On this special episode of Time on Screen, we’re coming to you live from the Editorial Lounge at the Chicago Windup Watch Fair, where Zach Kazan was joined by Worn & Wound’s Head of Partnerships, Kyle Snarr, and Neall Brick from Citizen. They’re there to discuss Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino’s ninth feature film. This is one of the best watch spotting in recent years, primarily for a well documented mistake that has a Citizen chronograph on Brad Pitt’s wrist that definitely didn’t exist in 1969, when the film takes place. That’s the jumping off point for a spirited discussion about the film, the complicated reaction to it, and Tarantino’s career.

There’s also plenty of talk about the watch featured in the film, which was the inspiration for the recently released Citizen 50th Anniversary Tsuno Chronograph, a 1970s inspired gold tone chronograph that looks particularly at home on a bund strap.

We’re grateful to our friends at Citizen for making this episode possible. Their Promaster collection is built on a century worth of technological research and innovation. The collection represents professional-grade sports watches built for sea, land, and air. Each watch is designed to overcome the elements and empower the wearer to “Go Deeper, Go Further and Go Higher” and the watch casting in Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood is a solid representation of that ethos.

To learn more about the Citizen Tsuno Chronograph 50th Anniversary Limited Edition and explore the collection, head to citizenwatch.com.

Time on Screen is back this week with an all new episode, just in time for Halloween. We’re pretty big fans of horror movies around here and don’t need much of an excuse to talk about them on a podcast, but we’ll gladly take one. So today, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are digging into what is perhaps the greatest horror movie ever made, The Shining. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, the 1980 adaptation of the Stephen King novel has a complex history, from a difficult production to a mixed reception upon release, and decades of gradually seeping into popular culture to the point where the film’s impact is undeniable. Zach and Kat discuss all of that and more, and also dip into Doctor Sleep, the underrated 2019 sequel directed by Mike Flanagan.

Welcome to episode 71 of A Week in Watches. To make it a tradition this is a special episode, or rather, part of one of a special two-parter cleverly titled “A Year in Watches.” Yes, we’re going to take a look back at big moments and releases from 2023. As you’d expect, there’s a lot to cover, so we’re doing the “big brands” in this episode – think Omega, Rolex, and Tudor – and micros and indies in the next.

Naturally, there still was too much to cover, so we focused on big launches from Watches & Wonders, what Rolex was up to (they did some weird stuff in 2023, especially for them), and then Seiko, who had a particular focus this year. If you enjoy the episode, please do like and subscribe.

This week’s episode was brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop. The best way to start the new year is a new watch. Head over to WindupWatchShop.com to check out new watches, limited editions, accessories, EDC, clocks, and more. The holidays are over, it’s time to get yourself something nice.

In this new episode of Time on Screen, brought to you by Terra Ciele Mare, Zach Kazan welcomes Kyle Snarr to chat about World War Z, the Marc Forster directed 2013 star vehicle for Brad Pitt that has become a cable staple in the years since it landed in theaters. While there’s a rich tradition of zombie films going back decades, World War Z offers something genuinely different, and feels more grounded in reality than many zombie movie classics, particularly following the pandemic. Zach and Kyle dig into why this movie endures, with a particular focus paid to Pitt’s star power and several incredibly well executed action set pieces.

They also look at the watch worn by Pitt in the film, a Terra Cielo Mare Orienteering PVD, and its contemporary successor, the Orienteering Quota 8611, inspired by the first Italian expedition to K2. Powered by a Swiss automatic Sellita SW200, the matte black Orienteering Quota 8611 measures 44mm in diameter and features an internal compass bezel. You can find more information on the Orienteering Quota 8611 and a bunch of other great products that will have you ready for the zombie apocalypse in our zombie themed gift guide here.

In this week’s episode of The worn&wound Podcast, Ilya, Zach, and Blake talk about the watches that got away–the ones we sold and now regret, and the ones we didn’t pull the trigger on. Then we answer a listener question about whether people outside our circle of watch-loving friends ever notice the watches we’re wearing.

Before we kick things off, there’s one favor we’d like to ask of you. If you’re a regular listener of the podcast, please complete the following survey: bit.ly/wwpod2017. It should take just a few minutes to complete and will greatly help us attract sponsors and grow the show.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we welcome a new member to the team: Kat Shoulders! If you listen to watch podcasts (and clearly you do) you probably already know Kat as a co-host of the wildly popular Tenn & Two podcast. In addition to being a podcaster, Kat is a dedicated watch collector and enthusiast, and a talented photographer, and we’re incredibly excited to have her on board as Worn & Wound’s new Media Production Manager. In this episode, Kat tells us about her evolution as a watch collector, the Nashville watch scene, and why G-Shocks don’t count toward the total number of watches in your collection. 

Since we had the whole team together in one location for this episode, we thought this would also be a great time to talk about some of the recent editorials we’ve run on the site: Blake’s ode to velcro straps, Zach W’s commentary on why we should strike “poor man’s watch” from the lexicon, and Zach K’s problem with birth year watches. It’s a fun conversation with some pretty wild takes, so if you have one of your own on any of these topics, be sure to leave it in the comments, because we’d love to see it.

New watch releases are back! After a typically slow summer in the watch world, things have been heating up in the realm of new watch releases. Ever since Geneva Watch Days, new release announcements have been coming our desks at a frantic pace, so we thought now would be a good time to talk about some of our favorites. Zach Kazna is joined by Kat Shoulders and Devin Pennypacker on this episode, and they’ve each chosen a new watch release at three distinct price points that stands out to them. Be sure to let us know in the comments what you have your eye on, and what your favorite new watches this fall (so far) have been.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Michiel Holthinrichs, founder of the aptly named Holthinrichs Watches. Holthinrichs is a brand that we’ve admired at Worn & Wound for years for their sculpture-like, architectural designs that are quite unlike anything else in the watch industry. Michiel discusses his background, the origins of the brand, and what he’s trying to accomplish in the watch world. There’s also a lot of talk about the brand’s newest release, the Signature Collection, which represents a fairly dramatic shift in strategy for Holthinrichs. Michiel talks about why they’ve launched the Signature Collection now, the challenges they’ve navigated as a brand, and why he’s excited about the future.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are joined by Ed Jelley to finally put a bow on Watches & Wonders 2024, discussing their favorite releases from the show and their overall impressions of this year’s slate of watches. Before the Watches & Wonders talk, however, there’s a big new release from one of our favorite brands to discuss. Christopher Ward dropped the new Twelve X last week, and it quickly became the hottest topic in the watch world. Zach Weiss had a chance to see the watch in person ahead of its release, and he gives us his first impressions and a rundown of why this watch is a pretty big deal for Christopher Ward as a brand, and what it might mean for the industry as a whole.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Worn & Wound’s Social Media Manager Devin Pennypacker along with Lasse Roxrud Farstad and Øystein Helle Husby, co-founders of Straum. Straum is an independent brand based in Norway, and the creators of the Jan Mayen collection, one of the most interesting integrated bracelet designs we’ve come across in the last few years. Devin just returned from a once in a lifetime road trip through Scandinavia, where he spent some time with the Straum team passing through Oslo, and got a chance to experience their watches in the place they were born. Devin tells us all about his trip and what he experienced, teasing an upcoming feature story that chronicles his adventures in detail, and the Straum guys give us the origin story of the brand, and talk about their initial entry into the watch world, and what might be coming next.

Today on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Blake Buettner are talking about watches that are primed for a comeback. The watch hobby, as many are well aware, is cyclical. Watches come, watches go, and watches come back, sometimes without any discernible reason. In this episode, we run through some watches and trends that we’d like to see make a return, from classic IWC sports watches, to more accessible dress watch offerings, there’s a lot on our collective wish lists. We also talk about the latest release from Brew, speculate as to the nature of the new collaboration between Hodinkee and Ressence (unknown to us at the time of recording) and reminisce about the days when a few dozen watch forum members could chart the course for a new release.

We know our listeners have thoughts on the watches, brands, and trends that they’d like to see make a comeback in the near term, so let us know in the comments or on Instagram what you’d like to see return from the past. Whether it’s a great brand that doesn’t get the attention it deserves, a specific type of watch that has fallen out of favor, or a favorite reference that you’d like to see modernized or refreshed, there’s always a lot of opportunity to reinterpret what’s come before.

Chief among them: the new Mission to Moonshine MoonSwatch, released to some level of consternation last week in a verylimited drop by Swatch, in just four cities worldwide. There’s also talk about a big new release from Seiko, a new sports watch with a caller style GMT movement in a classic dive watch case, and a pair of colorful watches from Mido.

This week on the Worn & Wound Podcast, we sit down in our studio with Lorenzo & Lauren Ortega of Lorier. We chat about why they got started in the watch industry, their love for acrylic crystals, and why bracelet designs are so important. As always, we thank them for coming by the studio and be sure to check out their booth at the next Windup Watch Fair!

This week on the podcast, we’re doing something a little different. All week, we’ll be bringing you a series of conversations from the recent Windup Watch Fair in the great city of San Francisco. If you were following along on the blog and social media over the last few days, you already know that we hosted a ton of great brands and thousands of guests over three days at the Terra Gallery in San Francisco, and we didn’t miss the opportunity to sit down with as many brand owners and founders as we possibly could. Naturally, we recorded those conversations for posterity, and over the next week or so will be presenting them to you in podcast form, for your listening pleasure. 

Today, we’ve got two interviews to kick things off. First up, we’re talking to Chase Fancher, the founder of Oak & Oscar. Then we’ve got a great conversation with Christopher Ward CEO Mike France, along with Jorg Bader, who leads the product team at the brand.

Later in the week, we’ll be bringing you interviews with Lewis Heath of anOrdain, Raphael Granito of Formex, MK II’s Bill Yao, Wes Kwok of Nodus, Baltic’s Etienne Malec, and Nivada-Grenchen’s Guillaume Laidet. If you’re subscribed to the Worn & Wound podcast feed already, be sure to check it regularly, as we’ll be publishing the rest of our interviews soon.

Welcome back to A Year in Watches 2022! This special two-part edition of A Week in Watches takes a look back at some of the biggest and best releases and moments in the watch industry from 2022.

In this episode, Blake Buettner, Blake Malin, James Helms, and Zach Weiss kickoff the virtual Windup Watch Fair 2020 with a few highlights.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake, Zach, Patrick, and Kat bring you a podcasting first: a live on air bracelet sizing. How did it go? You’ll have to listen to the whole episode to find out, but let’s just say Patrick’s recent acquisition (the unboxing was recorded, another first for the Worn & Wound podcast) inspired a long digression about bracelets, how to size them, and the horror stories that go along with this particularly thankless task. Other topics on this particularly loose episode recorded on the eve of the Windup Watch Fair in New York City include a watch’s ability to resist humidity in the air, and the pros and cons of traveling with more than one watch, a topic we seem to always return to, and one that Kat Shoulders will have more to say about soon in an upcoming Out of Office column.

Time On Track returns for round 12 of the 2023 Formula 1 season with the race in Hungary. Ricardo and Blake react to the new qualifying format trialed at this race (a change we’d like to see made permanent), as well as all the race drama that unfolded on track on Sunday. The end result may have been predictable, but there was still plenty to ponder as we head into the mid season. McLaren continues to storm up the grid with another impressive performance from Lando Norris, who finished P2, and rookie Oscar Piastri, who once again came tantalizingly close to his first podium. Can Mercedes replicate their customer team’s jump in pace? They’ll need to if they want any chance of closing the gap to Red Bull in this weekend’s race in Belgium.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, it’s a special episode with the three founders: Zach Weiss, Blake Malin, and James Helms. On the occasion of Worn & Wound’s tenth anniversary, Zach, Blake, and James sit down to reflect on where the website has been, where it’s going, and the many highs and lows along the way. They also answer questions submitted by you about topics ranging from the status of the Windup Watch Fair, what they’d do differently if they started the blog today, dream Worn & Wound collaborations, and more. This is a great conversation whether you’ve been with Worn & Wound since the beginning, or have just discovered the site, and offers a lot of insight into how the company has grown into what it is today.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, the team sits down to talk about watches that fall squarely into the “Guilty Pleasure” category. Not every watch that we love is a consensus  favorite – sometimes, the heart wants what the heart wants, even if nobody else does. Those are the watches we’ll be talking about today, those timepieces that, for whatever reason, fall outside of the mainstream, or are just less accepted by fans and enthusiasts. In other words, watches we shouldn’t like, but against our better judgment, we just can’t stay away.

This, of course, is all in good fun – nobody should feel guilty for loving any watch, but this topic provides an opportunity to shine a light on some watches and brands that may not otherwise get a ton of attention. This conversation covers watches at all price points, from a few hundred dollars, all the way up to “If you have to ask…”, and there are a lot of surprising takes that you might not expect. 

We’d love to know about your favorite guilty pleasures in the watch world, so be sure to leave those picks in the comments, or tag us on Instagram.

This week’s episode of the Worn & Wound podcast is brought to you by Citizen and their iconic line of Eco-Drive watches. For over 40 years, Citizen has been producing watches with Eco-Drive technology. Highly efficient and versatile, Citizen Eco-Drive watches are powered by any light – artificial, natural, and even dim light. Eco-Drive watches never need a battery replacement and once fully charged, many models will operate for 6 months with no light source. Some of our favorite Eco-Drive models include the ultra-thin Eco-Drive One, Promaster Nighthawk, and the Super Titanium Armor.

The Time on Screen podcast is back! This week, in celebration of the newly released Benrus Series #3061, Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr are diving deep into Bullitt, the 1968 classic starring Steve McQueen as a San Francisco detective trying to get to the bottom of a mob conspiracy. 

Bullitt is mostly remembered these days for its incredible car chase sequence through real San Francisco streets, but it’s also an important film in nailing down the iconic style of its star, and that certainly includes the watch that McQueen wears throughout the film. In this episode, Zach and Kyle take you through the movie, exploring what it is about the setting, the action scenes, and the movie star at the center of it all that makes Bullitt special.

On this week’s episode of A Week in Watches, we’re back on video, and back in the studio! It was a pretty solid week of releases ranging from a near six-figure perpetual calendar by Moser to the return of small-sized Seiko 5s. In the middle, we have a cool, updated version of an iconic Longines military watch, and a value-packed GMT from Germany’s Circula watches. Check out the episode below and on youtube, or listen to the podcast version where ever you find podcasts.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Felix Scholz and Andy Green, our friends from Down Under, and hosts of the wonderful podcast OT: The Podcast. Andy and Felix have both been around the block in the Australian and international watch media landscape with stints at Hodinkee and Time + Tide between them, and have seen OT grow by leaps and bounds in a short period of time with an impressive and growing guest list (our own Blake Buettner appeared on the show just weeks ago) and a dedicated community of listeners behind them. 

We’re thrilled to have Andy and Felix on the show this week to talk about their first limited edition watch release, consisting of two variants of the all new 39mm anOrdain Model 2 (we’ll have a full report on the new watches a little later today). The story of how these watches came about is at once charming and unlikely, and speaks to why we like brands like anOrdain and folks like Andy and Felix in the first place: these watches are meant to be fun, but take the craft and design seriously at the same time.

On this week’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, we talk to Michael Happé, the proprietor of Gavox. Founded in 2011, Gavox is a micro-brand that goes back to the early days of Worn & Wound. We’ve reviewed a number of watches from the brand, among them the Avidiver, Legacy Navy, and the incredibly unique Aurora. Today, we talk to Michael about how he got into watches, the challenges he faced getting the unique Aurora project off the ground, and what’s in store for Gavox in the future.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake is in sunny Florida for the Miami Grand Prix, one of the most hotly anticipated events on this year’s F1 calendar. He’s joined by photographer Zach Piña, and together they dissect not only the race itself, but the entire celebrity-filled weekend (there were Tom Brady and James Marsden sightings). There’s also a new watch to talk about from IWC, celebrating their partnership with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team and featuring a shade of blue/green that is definitely not the same shade of teal that is currently omnipresent in the watch community. 

Be sure to check here later this week for Blake’s full recap on the Miami Grand Prix.

Today on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan sit down to talk about what is unquestionably one of the biggest watch releases of the year: the Tudor Pelagos FXD. What is the FXD? Well, if this were Wheel of Fortune, and you bought a few vowels, the “fixed” theme of the watch comes into focus. This iteration of the Pelagos had been the topic of much speculation in recent months as leaks began to hit social media, and the fixed lug bars, unusual bi-directional bezel, and notably thinner case profile offer something genuinely new in the Pelagos line. We walk through this watch’s unique backstory, its connection to the Marine Nationale, and the extremely niche type of diving it was designed for. 

Later in the podcast, the team talks about some other recent releases of note, including a limited edition Nomos Club 36, and the latest from Benrus. If we missed any of your favorite releases from the last few weeks, be sure to let us know what’s caught your eye in the comments below.

Episode 10? Already? I guess time flies when you’re recording A Week in Watches. In this episode, we’ve got a whole bunch of watches from Grand Seiko, a vintage-styled Tissot, and the return of the ultimate sleeper watch.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan joins Blake and Thomas to talk about one of the most unexpected releases of the year: the Norqain Wild One. Zach was in Switzerland for the launch of the Wild One, which employs a proprietary carbon fiber material called Norteq that makes it incredibly lightweight, robust, and can even be colored. Zach shares his thoughts on the watch and the rollout, and talks about the experience of interviewing the one and only Jean-Claude Biver. 

Later in this episode, the team chats about what it’s like to turn on non-watch people to this incredibly niche hobby, and the whether we’ve successfully created any new enthusiasts through a strong recommendation. Has this ever happened to you? Be sure to leave a note in the comments if you’ve successfully gotten someone else hooked on watches.

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner is joined by Kyle Snarr and Jon Gaffney for a wide ranging discussion on watches, gear, and a whole lot more. Kyle heads up partnerships at Worn & Wound, and is also behind the Cantonment Co. brand. Jon is a long time watch enthusiast and writer who has contributed to Worn & Wound since the early days, and also runs the popular @watchknifepen account on Instagram. The big topic at hand in this episode is Tool Kit, a new plank of the Worn & Wound experience that will allow brands to tell their stories on the website in a thoughtful, engaging way. It’s a different way of approaching sponsored content, and we think it’s going to provide a new avenue for telling the stories about watches, gear, and experiences that already make Worn & Wound great. 

In addition to discussing Tool Kit, Jon and Kyle have a lot to share in this episode about their own histories with watches, and they touch on a variety of subjects that take us through a breakdown of some arcane vintage Seiko terminology, what it means to be a collector versus an enthusiast, and why we seem to be drawn more and more to modern watches over vintage. Be sure to hit us up in the comments or on Instagram if you have any questions about Tool Kit, or anything else from today’s episode.

It’s a full house today on the Worn & Wound podcast, so brace yourselves for a spirited discussion on the watch that broke the internet last week: the all new Tudor Pelagos 39. Everyone’s got a take on the new, smaller Tudor diver, and we’re no exception. What do you think? Is this a must have dive watch? Will you be buying one? And, be honest: were you pronouncing “Pelagos” correctly before Tudor’s immediately iconic video dropped?

We also take a moment to talk about the new Grönefeld 1969 Delta Works, the first sports watch from the independent brand out of the Netherlands. And yes, it’s a point of great pride for all involved that to our knowledge we’re the only podcast to draw a tenuous connection between the Delta Works and the forgotten classic that is Last Action Hero. It will all (sort of) make sense when you listen.

The Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco is just days away! Join Blake Malin, Kyle Snarr, and Nelly Calhoun for a preview in this special bonus episode of the Worn & Wound podcast. 

Take an early peek at the Windup Watch Fair San Francisco right here. 

This week, the Worn & Wound podcast is all about tool watches. We’ve got Zach Kazan, Kat Shoulders, Zach Weiss, and Ricardo Sime on mic to discuss the finer points of a category in watchmaking that is essentially inescapable. But what does it really mean to own and collect tool watches in 2024? We try to define what a tool watch is in the first place (we’ve found there’s no real consensus) and grapple with whether an interest in tool watches has more to do with practicality, aesthetics, or something else entirely. It’s a fun conversation that takes all kinds of unexpected turns.

It’s good to be back.

This weekend was quite eventful as not only was there racing but we also had our crown jewel event of the year; the Windup Watch Fair NYC. Ricardo discussed just how different this fair was from those of the past as well as its overall impact within the watch community.

From there, we jumped straight into the racing. The first test of this final stretch of the season being the Circuit of the Americas. As a Grand Prix, this circuit has been purpose built for the larger generation of F1 cars, which means competitive racing is not only possible but pretty much assured as the drivers find themselves 2-3 wide around many turns. 

We were not disappointed in the first laps of the race as we saw Ferrari establish an early lead while the two main drivers fighting for the championship went wide. Charles Leclerc found himself taking early command of the race and never looked back. We discussed this and Ferrari’s overall dominance this past weekend.

While Leclerc cruised to victory, the last laps featured an epic battle for the last podium spot between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. This is what we were all waiting for and it did not disappoint, leaving us with a bit of controversy and a yearning for more wheel to wheel battles between these two.

Take a listen as we break down the race, the titles up for grabs, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 United States GP

This week on the podcast, Blake is joined by Patrick, Thomas, and Zach, who will try to explain How to Buy a Watch, hot on the heels of our recent foray into providing some basic advice for newbies and veterans alike. Before that, a discussion about a new release from Alpina that revives a particular type of mechanical movement that’s rarely seen in modern watchmaking (spoiler alert: there are no mechanical engineers on this week’s episode). The team is also in a reflective mood, talking through some of the watches that have been lingering in their minds this year. 

Let us know if you have any of your own watch buying advice, and if there are any watches that are lingering in your mind as 2022 comes to a close.

On episode 81, we discuss some rather Summer-y new releases from Zodiac, Vertex, and Ming, as well as the new Toledano and Chan. The latter is more of a somber Winter morning, but we’ll let that slide. If you enjoy this episode, please like and subscribe; we appreciate it!
