The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Worn & Wound contributor Tommy DeMauro. Tommy has been writing for Worn & Wound for a little over a year, and his work occupies a very specific niche: accessible, affordable, and highly collectible vintage and neo-vintage watches. Tommy is uniquely obsessed with finding oddball references from years past and studying them deeply, and proves through his research that you don't have to spend much money at all to have something genuinely rare and special. Many of the watches Tommy writes about are eBay finds, and most are well under $500. Some are under $100. All of them, though, have something interesting going on in terms of their history, design, or functionality. In this conversation, Tommy explains how he got into watches in the first place and eventually found his niche with affordable vintage watches. They also discuss some of Tommy's articles that he's written for the website, including guides to the Seiko Orange Monster and the truly unusual Timex Triprix. Tommy also provides some advice to listeners who might be interested in dabbling in this corner of the watch market.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are on the mic to chat about a bunch of new releases we've seen in the last month or so. And folks, if it wasn't already clear, it's summer watch season. It seems like just about every brand wants to sell you a summer watch this month. We didn't set out to provide a list of new summer watches specifically, but that's what watch brands are putting out into the world in these warmer months. Among the new watches discussed are sporty watches from big brands like Tudor and Breitling, as well as a surprising limited edition from Seiko and a different spin on the summer watch from Citizen. Be sure to let us know in the comments what your favorite recent release is (“summer watch” or not) and let us know if we missed anything you'd like us to discuss on a future episode.  To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Zach Weiss to chat about something that's on everyone's mind as of late: watch pricing. Specifically, we're wondering about the state of the “budget” watch, the space that used to be owned by inexpensive (and enthusiast favorite) Seiko sports watches. The landscape for these watches has changed considerably over the last several years, and in this episode we discuss potential reasons for that, who's filling the void, and provide some recommendations for enthusiasts (regardless of their experience level) on brands and watches to look out for that give you plenty of bang for your buck. Watch pricing is a hot topic right now, so don't hesitate to get in the comments below and tell us your thoughts on the state of Seiko, your favorite value oriented watches, or anything else related to the topic.  To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Griffin Bartsch to the podcast to discuss his recent experience visiting D1 Milano in, where else, Milan. D1 Milan achieved a level of viral fame a few back with their “Sketch” watch, a polycarbonate watch with a distinct look that makes it appear drawn by hand. But D1 is a lot more than the Sketch, and Griffin had a chance to look at a number of new D1 Milano pieces in the city where they were designed. It's a genuinely surprising watch story, and speaks to the huge breadth of variety in the world of watches. This episode also features an interview Griffin recorded with D1 Milano founder Dario Spallone, who started the brand all the way back in 2013.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we celebrate a significant milestone: 400 episodes! That's a lot of podcasting, and to mark the occasion we reached out to our Instagram and Worn & Wound+ communities to field questions for our latest Q&A. We got a bunch of great questions on the podcast itself and where we see it going, as well as questions that have us looking back on some of the big changes in the watch world since the podcast started. Thanks to everyone for tuning in, whether you started with episode 1 or jumped in somewhere more recently.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Devin Pennypacker to catch up on some of the watches they've spotted in recent TV and movies. The inspiration for this podcast is a recent article by Zach Weiss in which he points out the blatantly fake watches used in Your Friends and Neighbors, currently airing on Apple TV+. Zach takes us through not only the mistakes made in this show, but a possible error in Sinners, still in theaters, and a famous shot in Breaking Bad where a character uses a chronograph in a way that we're pretty sure nobody ever has. The group also chats about some notable watch spotting in other recent films and TV shows, including The Last of Us, Thunderbolts (sort of), and even Saturday Night Live.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the podcast, Worn & Wound contributor Cait Bazemore makes her podcast debut. Cait has been writing about watches for years, and in this episode we spend most of our time discussing her recent piece on Biwi, a Swiss firm which has gained some fame recently for their work with Norqain. Biwi is a fascinating company and has manufactured rubber straps and a whole host of other things for watch brands over the years, and the story of how Cait came across the story and what she discovered at Biwi's facilities in Switzerland is truly fascinating. Before the Biwi talk begins, Cait takes us through her path in the watch industry, what's interesting to her about the community, and how her interest in traditional craftsmanship relates to the high tech world of Biwi. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

In this week's episode of the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Devin Pennypacker are back from the Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco, and they have a bunch of new releases to chat about. After a quick recap of the show itself, their San Francisco experience, and the pros and cons of Waymo, they each pick a few standout releases from Windup and the watch world more broadly, including new releases from Tudor, Dennison, and Zenith.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, it's time to preview the Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco. Media Manager Devin Pennypacker takes over hosting duties this week, and is joined by Kyle Snarr, Head of Partnerships, Nelly Calhoun, Events & Partnerships Operations Manager, and Garrett Jones, our in-house photographer. Together they discuss the 10 year anniversary of the Windup Watch Fair, along with some of their first Windup experiences.

Watches & Wonders may have wrapped a few weeks ago, flooding everyone's feeds with Tudors, Rolexes, Grand Seikos, Pateks, Zeniths, and more than a few Hublots—but we're not diving into any of that today. Instead, on episode 102 of A Week in Watches, we take a step back from the hype and turn our attention to the quieter—but no less exciting—independent releases that emerged around the same time. April was surprisingly packed with creative drops from small brands doing things their own way, and while the big names stole the headlines, the indies delivered some of the most interesting watches of the month.Before diving into a few standout releases—yes, including that particularly “crazy” one—here's a quick heads-up: Windup Watch Fair San Francisco 2025 is just around the corner. It's happening May 2nd through 4th at the Gateway Pavilion in Fort Mason Park. Over 80 brands will be there, it's free, and it's open to all. If you're on the West Coast, swing by. Full details and the exhibitor list are up now at windupwatchfair.com.

In this episode of Changing Gears, Garrett sits down with Dave Wattenberg, the founder and owner of Pro-Tech Knives. From building the first batch on his kitchen table over 25 years ago to running a 17,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Southern California, Dave's experience in the knife industry has allowed him and the Pro-Tech team to create some of the best everyday carry knives on the market today. In this episode, Dave and Garrett dive into Dave's family ties to the cutlery industry, how Pro-Tech got its start, how Dave came to be both a watch and knife enthusiast, and even an exclusive design that's been created just for the San Francisco Windup Watch Fair. Listen closely, you might even get some information about a top secret Pro-Tech prototype that's in the works.We're happy to announce that Pro-Tech has created an exclusive knife design for the upcoming San Francisco Windup Watch Fair, a TR-3 Integrity.  Derived from one of their best selling automatic knives over 22 years, the TR-3 Integrity combines the iconic TR-3 Auto design with their button lock hardware to create a consumer friendly, manual action knife. This exclusive edition will feature a 3.5”, stonewash finished, S35vn steel blade, battleworn blue relic handles, and a gorgeous abalone button. While this exclusive is limited to 25 pieces, in Dave's own words, each one is “one of a kind” due to the uniqueness of the abalone insert. Check out this design, and many more at Pro-Tech's booth inside the EDC Expo at the Windup Watch Fair.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss for a collection update. Every so often, when new watches hit our collections, we jump on the podcast to talk about what we picked up and why. In recent months, both Zachs have made a few additions, and we thought now would be a good time to provide an update after the Honeymoon Period has just barely faded. Zach Weiss has seen a vintage watch (from a brand that has been very much in the news) join the collection, along with a very tough to track down timepiece from an upstart Japanese brand. And Zach Kazan has recently added a second piece from a personal indie favorite, as well his first watch from one of the most discussed brands in the watch world. After discussing their new acquisitions, Zach and Zach talk about where they see their collections heading in the short and long term. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Weiss, Kat Shoulders, and Zach Kazan are looking back at the recently completed Watches & Wonders event. It's been about two weeks and we've all had a bit of time to digest everything we saw in Geneva, and in this episode we hear about some of the trends we identified, watches we loved, and overall impressions of the show and our time in Geneva. We also answer a bunch of questions from our Worn & Wound+ Slack community on everything from our favorite booths, hidden gems, and those TAG Heuer F1s. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

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.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are joined by Bhanu Chopra. Bhanu is likely a familiar figure to many – he's a watch media mainstay, with bylines in Forbes, Revolution, and, of course, Worn & Wound, among others. If there's one thing to know about Bhanu, it's that he has a real passion for independent brands, particularly those on the small affordable side. He was well ahead of the curve when it comes to the current “micro-indie” movement in the watch world. We talk to Bhanu about why these brands mean so much to him, some of his favorite experiences visiting manufactures and ateliers over the years, and how he draws a distinction between a “microbrand” and an “indie” anyway.   To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

In this new episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan welcomes Worn & Wound contributor Brett Braley to talk about Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread. Why Phantom Thread? Well, for a number of reasons. First, PTA has a new film out later this year and it has Zach and other members of the Worn & Wound team thinking about his filmography. Second, there's a clear link in our minds between the craft depicted in this film and the world of watchmaking. Third, Brett and Zach previously discussed Tár, a movie with more than a few links to Phantom Thread. Lastly, it's just a great film, with great performances, and some of the best scenes of a couple eating breakfast that you'll ever find in a movie. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the show, Zach Kazan and Devin Pennypacker are recapping their recent visit to London for the second annual British Watchmakers' Day event. This was a fantastic event filled with interesting watches from brands that were both familiar to us and brand new. Zach and Devin highlight some of their favorite watches seen at the show, and touch on some other London highlights, including a great pre-show meetup with Kenneth Lam from Arken. Before the British Watchmakers' Day talk, there are a few new releases to talk about as well, including big releases from Omega and Hamilton. One of them definitely left us a little cold, while the other gives us hope that some of these big brands still have some tricks up their sleeve. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

Matt has designed watches for brands including Vero, Laco, Prevail, and more. Blake interviews Zach and Matt to discuss what goes into designing a great watch, how they got into the design industry, and their unique perspectives on watches.But that's not all. Matt and Blake are gearing up for the 2025 Ride to Conquer Cancer, a cycling event raising funds for cancer research.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Garrett Jones and Devin Pennypacker to talk about one of our favorite subjects: under the radar watches. We all know about the usual suspects: your Submariners, your Speedmasters, your Seiko divers, and so on. But there's a whole world of watches out there to be discovered, and the team is here to help you find some that are bubbling just beneath the surface. Our panel discusses how we define an “under the radar” watch in the first place, and then provides a whole bunch of recommendations across a variety of categories. Just to make things interesting, we set a limit of $1,500 per watch in an effort to prove you don't have to spend a lot of money to find something interesting, unusual, and rewarding.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

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.

Time on Screen returns this week with one our favorite episodes of the year, our annual Academy Awards preview. Zach Kazan is joined by Kyle Snarr for this episode, where they're committed to helping you win your office Oscar pool, or just have a better understanding of the biggest night in movies. This year's Oscar season has been one of the most memorable of recent years, with no clear front runner for much of the season. This represents a big change as the last few years have seen clear favorites emerge relatively early in the race, but this year is marked by at least some uncertainty in many of the most high profile categories. This has also been a year that's marked the return of some good old fashioned gamesmanship at the Oscars, with controversies real and imagined gaining traction in the press. Whether they'll impact the race or not is an open question, but Kyle and Zach discuss them all here and do their best to handicap the race to this point. Thanks as always for listening, and be sure to drop your Oscar picks in the comments below! 

This week, Griffin Bartsch makes his return to the Worn & Wound podcast, where he joins Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss for a conversation focused on how we find value watches. Inspired by Griffin's recent review of his Vertex Aqualion, they dig into concepts of price sensitivity, how we rationalize the cost of a watch, and what actually makes us think a watch is “overpriced.” It's a fun discussion on a topic at the forefront of the minds of many collectors as watch prices rise but the overall quality of a watch doesn't necessarily follow suit.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

In this episode of Changing Gears, Kat chats with industrial designer Sam Amis, whose career has taken him from innovating cutting-edge gear at Nike, to shaking up the world of everyday carry at The James Brand. They dive into his journey from art-loving high schooler to designing some of the most modern pocket knives out there. Sam shares behind-the-scenes stories from working with Timex, his love for iconic design (think Swiss Army knives and Air Jordans), and how his obsession with symmetry influences his work. They also geek out over watches, talk about the magic of good product design, and even touch on AI's growing role in the creative process. Whether you're a design nerd, a gearhead, or just love a good origin story, this one's a must-listen!We hope you like this new podcast format and really appreciate all the listeners!

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we're drafting divers! Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Devin Pennypacker to participate in a fun but ultimately fruitless exercise whereby they pick their favorite divers at three different price points: under $5,000, between $5,000 and $15,000, and over $15,000. It's always fun to play with fake money, and our panel picks a truly wide and sometimes strange selection of divers, from the common to the completely obscure and everywhere in between. Before they get into the diver conversation, Zach, Devin, and Zach discuss two of the bigger pieces of news to come across the transom last week, Rolex shuttering the Bucherer brand, and the news that Breitling is apparently set to acquire Gallet. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast it's question time once again – we've reached out to our Worn & Wound+ Slack community and Zach Kazan, Devin Pennypacker, and Garrett Jones have assembled to answer them. We've got fun questions this month on a range of topics, from hypothetical racing team sponsorships to pocket knife preferences, and many things in between, including pizza and the state of the moviegoing experience. There are even some watch questions mixed in there from time to time.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, it's a good old fashioned new release roundup. We are (finally!) through the first month of 2025, and an initial batch of new watches have made an appearance from brands large and small. The season kicked off with new watches at LVMH Watch Week, which saw product announcements from TAG Heuer, Zenith, and the rest of the LVMH stable. We've also seen several limited editions announced ahead of British Watchmakers' Day coming up in March, and several notable stray releases from indie favorites. In this episode, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders run through a selection of these new releases, and provide some thoughts on what (if anything) they portend for the rest of the year, including Watches & Wonders, which is right around the corner.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

On today's episode of Changing Gears, Kat Shoulders and Garrett Jones go over their favorite gear from last year. They both spend a lot of time in the photography and EDC space and have both counted up a list of their favorite items in 2024. We hope you love this episode as much as we did and we're excited to hear what your faves were from last year! We hope you like this new podcast format and really appreciate all the listeners!

On this week's podcast, Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and Kat Shoulders are on the mic to do one of their favorite things: spend hypothetical money that does not really exist. This episode is a thought experiment: if you had $10,000 to build a watch collection, what would you pick? No guardrails, as many (or as few) watches as you want, but within a $10,000 limit. Unsurprisingly, with no rules attached, everyone took a very different approach, and part of the fun of this episode is unpacking why those approaches were taken. There are a lot of great watches discussed here, some from the usual suspects (Grand Seiko, Tudor, and others) but there are some genuine surprises as well. It was somewhat surprisingly a real challenge to come up with a coherent collection at this price point with no real rules in place, so let us know in the comments what you think of our collections, and how you would approach the $10,000 watch collection challenge. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

In this bonus episode of the Worn & Wound podcast, we're joined by Festina Soprod's Movements R&D Manager and Senior Watchmaker, Christian Châtelain. Worn & Wound cofounder Zach Weiss and Media Manager Devin Pennypacker dig into the history of Soprod, what led them into mechanical watchmaking, and how the Mechanical Division grew into making their own, original movements. They talk about Soprod's in-house innovations, the engineering challenges that keep watchmakers up at night, golf counter complications, and more.Go behind-the-scenes and learn what it's like to tackle some of the unique issues that arise when designing and building specialized, yet attractive modern-day movements. 

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. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

A special podcast this week: the rare completely in person pod, featuring Zach Kazan, Devin Pennypacker, Griffin Bartsch, and Blake Malin. We had a large group in the office last week, and took the opportunity to sit down and record a pod together without the assistance of our helpful virtual studio. After a lengthy discussion of how many deviled eggs we all consumed at the previous night's annual Worn & Wound post-holiday party, the group responds to hot takes submitted by our Instagram followers and the Worn & Wound+ community. We had such a great time providing our own hot takes a few weeks ago, we decided to open the concept up to our listeners, and they did not disappoint. In this episode, we respond to takes dealing with old chestnuts like watch pricing, the nature of a tool watch, and whether the GMT complication is overhyped. This is a fun and at times spirited discussion, and we hope you enjoy it. We're always interested in hearing your hottest takes, so be sure to leave them in the comments below.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and Devin Pennypacker take a stab at a tried and true watch podcast trope: watch industry predictions! We don't want to get our watch podcast membership club card revoked, so we're doing that thing many of our colleagues do and making potentially errant predictions about what we think might be coming in 2025. We've got ideas on watch pricing, the state of watch media, what might be coming from Tudor and Rolex, and a whole lot more (including, of course, stone dials). Before we get started on the predictions, we also chat a bit about some of the first new releases of the year, including a new watch from Toledano & Chan and an all new project from indie watchmaking legend Peter Speake.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

It's the first podcast of 2025 – Happy New Year! We couldn't think of a better way to kick off the new year than returning a tried and true podcast format: the hot take. From time to time, we like to get on the mic and talk about the things that are sometimes better left unsaid in the watch world. Well, we're saying them today. Zach Kazan welcomes Devin Pennypacker to the podcast for a solid hour of take artistry that includes their thoughts on gem set watches, the stone dial trend, micro-adjustment on bracelet clasps, and the very notion of watches as gifts. They also try to get to the bottom of why Zach doesn't want to tell anyone where he gets his straps, but that might be a larger project.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

We're back with a special Best of 2024 edition of Time on Screen this week. Managing Editor Zach Kazan and Head of Content Kat Shoulders both saw a lot of movies this year, and as is customary, each has prepared a list of their favorites. In this conversation, they each pick their five favorite movies of 2024, as well as some honorable mentions that didn't quite make the cut. They also discuss the state of movies in 2024 – an uneven year in some ways, and a big success in others (especially if you're a small child or a big fan of sequels.  Thanks as always for joining us on the Time on Screen podcast – we'll be back next year! 

It's the final episode of the Worn & Wound podcast for 2024, so of course the team is talking about their favorite watches of the year. Zach Kazan, Kat Shoulders, Zach Weiss, and Devin Pennypacker are all on the mic to look at the best watches they've seen from the last year, and reflect on 2024 as a watch year in general. The conventional wisdom is that this was a slow year of incremental updates from the big brands, but the team found plenty to like from indies, micros, and big brands alike, including big comeback years from Jaeger-LeCoultre and Omega.We'd love to hear your thoughts on the year that was in watches. What were some of your favorite releases of the year, and what brands over and underperformed in 2024?

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.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

After 23 Grand Prixs that each had meaningful racing, we found ourselves at Yas Marina. Heading into the race, Ferrari had a slim chance at stealing the Constructors Championship from McLaren. A wild start made things interesting but a dominant performance from Lando Norris sealed the deal. We talk about what this means for McLaren and whether the Constructors title is still important to the average fan.We then look forward to 2025. Lewis Hamilton finally racing in Ferrari Red. Checo Perez, possibly, riding off into the sunset as Liam Lawson takes his place at Red Bull. Cadillac and the effect it will have on the drivers market. We also discuss some of the things we can't wait to see on track with a grid that seems more tightly packed than ever before.It's been a great season for racing and we also want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to listen to the Podcast. We hope to see you next year for the 2025 F1 Season.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we've got a full house for our monthly Q&A episode. Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders, Devin Pennypacker, and Garrett Jones for a fun filled, end of year Q&A episode with lots of great questions and only a small handful of diversions, we promise. Among the topics discussed in this episode, our panel tackles the vast Citizen archive, whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie, our favorite digital watches, pocket flashlights, and a whole lot more. Thanks to all of our listeners who submitted so many great questions this year! We'll be back next year with more Q&A podcasts, so be sure to join the Worn & Wound+ Slack community if you haven't already – it's where we put out a call for questions on a monthly basis, and is just a great place to chat about watches.This episode is brought to you by Mater Made—a new watch brand made for the modern day renaissance man.

Unwinding is back again! Better late than never. On this episode, we're excited to be joined by a good friend of Worn & Wound, a fellow small business owner, Ben Preuss. Ben co-founded a digital design and development company called ThinkNerve in 2002 while still in high school. We talk a bit about what it was like to start a company at a young age, what it's been like running it since, and some general observations on owning businesses. Ben is also a watch guy and has worked with a handful of companies in the watch industry, including Worn & Wound, having built the Windup Watch Shop, as well as updating Worn & Wound throughout the years.To learn more about Ben's business, head to ThinkNerve

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazand and Kat Shouldes talk with Jérôme Burgert and Gabriel Vachette, the co-founders of Serica. The French indie watch brand is celebrating a five year anniversary, and they've just released the Parade, easily their most ambitious watch to date. The ultra refined dress watch is, on the surface, a fairly dramatic departure from the brand's elegant but sporty tool watches. But once you start digging into the details and hear the story behind the watch, you begin to realize that it's actually squarely in the Serica wheelhouse after all. In this conversation, Jérôme and Gabriel speak frankly about the design process and the challenges they faced bringing the Parade to life, and discuss why watches like this appeal to them in the first place.Today's episode is sponsored by DIY Watch Club. Love watches?

In a race that started with a strong move for the lead, we were all led to believe great racing would be the story of the day. Instead, we were “treated” to a Max Verstappen clinical win, five DNF's and multiple penalties. From Lando Norris' stop and go, to Lewis Hamilton having to drive through the pits because of speeding through the last time there, we talk about how one sideview mirror completely changed the Grand Prix.A sideview mirror that in many ways has extended the fight for the 2024 Constructors Championship. McLaren was on a smooth path to taking the title before all the Mirror Madness began. Yet in the span of a handful of laps, Lando Norris found himself at the back of the field. At the end of the day, Ferrari left Qatar still with a chance at the title. We talk about how the Hungary GP may come back to haunt McLaren if they can't seal the deal in Abu Dhabi.Take a listen as we break down the race, the stewards, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Qatar GP.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Devin Pennypacker and Kat Shoulders to the show for a post-Thanksgiving catch up. We are fully in the midst of the holiday season, and for Worn & Wound readers based in NYC, we have a bit of a surprise: a brand new, open to the public showroom in our Brooklyn HQ! We talk a little bit about what the showroom is all about and what to expect from the Windup Watch Shop team as it opens, just in time for the busy holiday shopping season. It's appointment only for the time being, but you can head here for more information and to schedule a visit.We also chat about a handful of new releases that we haven't had a chance to discuss on the podcast quite yet, including ambitious new releases from Serica and Louis Erard, as well as updated variants of old favorites from IWC and Omega. Speaking of Serica, we'll have the brand's founders on the podcast very soon, so if you have any questions you'd like us to ask, be sure to leave them in the comments.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

WELCOME TO S(P)IN CITY!Formula 1 returned to the gambling capital of the world for the second time and it showed. The Grand Prix seemed more mature as the hiccups of year one disappeared. We were instead left with great, competitive racing as we saw overtake after overtake with three highly contested DRS zones. When it was all said and done, we had Mercedes getting their 60th 1,2 with George Russell bringing home his third Grand Prix win. We talk about Mercedes' overall dominance throughout the weekend.   The silver arrows were not the only ones to bring home hardware this weekend. Carlos Sainz snagged third, somehow navigating through the childish bemoaning of his teammate Charles Leclerc after the race. The biggest trophy went to Max Verstappen, who claimed his 4th straight driver's championship with a finish ahead of Lando Norris. We talk about this accomplishment as well as what the teams have left to fight for over the last 2 races of the year.Take a listen as we break down the race, the overtakes, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Las Vegas GP.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Tony Traina to the show to talk about the state of watch media, what's getting him excited about the watch world right now, and what's next for his newsletter, Unpolished Watches (formerly Rescapement). Tony has been writing about watches and watch collecting for about five years now, including a two year stint with Hodinkee, and has built up a loyal audience with his detailed and impeccably researched articles on vintage watches, the auction scene, and some of the most talked about new releases, including many that are squarely in the enthusiast sphere.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week's episode of A Week in Watches is a bit of a doozy. We start off a with some quick coverage of few new releases from C Ward, Studio Underd0g, and Jaeger LeCoultre. After, we take a more in depth look at the new Serica 1174 Parade, the brand's first proper dress watch. Finally, the bulk of the episode is spent discussing the results of the GPGH Awards, while taking a closer look at some of the winners.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Blake Malin for a long in the works collection update episode. From time to time (usually after one or more members of the team have acquired some particularly cool watches) we like to get in front of our mics and talk about why we added a particular watch to the rotation. It just so happens that Zach, Kat, and Blake have all added multiple watches to the collection after some major collection reshuffling, so this episode actually covers quite a bit of new watch ground. Plus, since we have Blake on the podcast this week, we also talk a little bit about his new podcast with Zach Weiss, Unwinding. You can find the first two episodes of Unwinding (formerly known as Worn Out) in your Worn & Wound podcast feed right now. This ongoing series will feature the Worn & Wound cofounders sharing behind the scenes stories about the company's history, and insight gained through over a decade of being involved in the watch industry.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.
