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.

Pocas cosas hay más resbaladizas que medir el transcurso del tiempo, pero, a pesar de ello, desde la antigüedad los seres humanos lo han intentado. Uno de los primeros instrumentos dedicados a esta tarea fue el reloj de sol, sencillo y económico, que fue perfeccionándose para adaptarse a diferentes latitudes y longitudes. Pero su dependencia del sol lo hacía inútil en días nublados o de noche. Para superar estas limitaciones surgieron otros dispositivos como la clepsidra de agua, los bastoncillos combustibles y el reloj de arena. La clepsidra, basada en la caída constante del agua por gravedad, fue un invento muy ingenioso que evolucionó desde simples vasijas perforadas hasta sistemas que activaban mecanismos para señalar las horas. Estos instrumentos, aunque útiles para medir fracciones de tiempo, requerían mantenimiento constante y tenían serias limitaciones para la medición continua. Durante siglos, los relojes de sol, agua y arena fueron suficientes, pero las dificultades prácticas impulsaron la invención del reloj mecánico en Europa en el siglo XIII. Este avance no se debió únicamente al clima, como se suele argumentar, ya que Europa tiene regiones soleadas y el problema del hielo existía en otras partes del mundo. La clave estuvo en la mentalidad innovadora de la Europa medieval, que veía en las máquinas soluciones a los desafíos ambientales. Tenemos ejemplos como los molinos de agua y viento, o los mecanismos para tocar campanas en iglesias. El reloj mecánico nació con un invento concreto: el mecanismo de escape de varilla con balancín, probablemente en un monasterio. Los primeros relojes, aparecidos hacia 1275, eran grandes estructuras de pesos y engranajes sin esfera que tocaban campanas para marcar las horas. Su difusión coincidió con la expansión urbana, las universidades y las catedrales góticas de los siglos XIII y XIV. Todas las principales ciudades de Europa occidental instalaron relojes públicos, que no solo organizaban la vida urbana, sino que también conferían prestigio. Pero su alto precio y las exigencias de mantenimiento los reservaban para ciudades ricas. Estos primeros relojes eran imprecisos, tenían desviaciones de hasta media hora diaria, y frecuentemente se averiaban. A pesar de esto, los relojeros innovaron añadiendo complicaciones astronómicas y autómatas, como el célebre reloj de Estrasburgo que mostraba movimientos planetarios y figuras animadas. En el siglo XV, la invención del muelle permitió crear relojes portátiles que fueron miniaturizándose aún más hasta convertirse en dispositivos de bolsillo. En los siglos XVI y XVII, la relojería se profesionalizó, con centros de producción en Augsburgo, Nuremberg, Ginebra y Londres. La demanda creciente, impulsada por una clase urbana acomodada, fomentó la innovación y la producción en masa, reduciendo los costes de fabricación y el precio final. En el siglo XVII el péndulo de Huygens y el escape de ancla mejoraron notablemente la precisión. El cronómetro marino de John Harrison resolvió el problema de la longitud en la navegación. El siglo XIX industrializó la relojería, con marcas como Tissot e Ingersoll que empezaron a producir relojes en serie a precios asequibles. En el siglo XX, los relojes de pulsera, los automáticos y los de cuarzo inventados por Seiko se apoderaron del mercado. Hoy, los relojes inteligentes, como el Apple Watch, integran múltiples funciones, pero todos parten de la misma idea: medir el tiempo para hacernos la vida más cómoda.

Tout le monde les aime, mais trop peu de gens les portent… Dans cette vidéo, je vais vous parler du paradoxe de 3 marques horlogères qu'on adore, qu'on admire, qu'on respecte… mais qu'on n'achète jamais. Et, les raisons vont vous surprendre. Bonjour à tous et bienvenue sur DM&V, j'espère que vous allez pour le mieux. Ceux qui suivent la chaine se rappelleront que dans deux épisodes récents, je vous parlais de 6 marques sous-cotées, mais à reconsidérer. Et si je reviens là-dessus, c'est justement pour faire la distinction entre ces deux notions et éviter toute confusion. Et, bien que certaines marques soient présentes dans les deux sujets, il y a tout de même une grande différence d'angle de vue : En effet, une marque sous-cotée est, selon ma définition, une marque dont l'exposition et donc la visibilité n'est pas à la hauteur de son prestige ou de son savoir-faire. En clair, la marque est sous-représentée et clairement sous les radars. En bref, elle mériterait davantage d'être dans la lumière. Mais aujourd'hui et plus que jamais, dans cette bataille de l'image, l'on distingue davantage les marques qui crient le plus fort à celles qui ont un vrai message Dans l'épisode d'aujourd'hui, c'est différent. Nous allons aborder ces marques fréquemment citées par les amateurs éclairés, des marques souvent admirées, mais que finalement trop peu d'entre nous achètent et j'irais même jusqu'à dire, que trop peu envisagent....et pas forcement pour une question de budget. Mais vous allez mieux comprendre dans quelques minutes… Avant de commencer, sachez que cet épisode est, comme d'habitude, disponible en version audio sur toutes les plateformes de podcast mais également en vidéo sur ma chaine Youtube Des Montres & Vous.

Episode 162 of the Not on Record podcast, hosted by Joseph and Michael, delves into a nuanced legal discussion surrounding the admissibility of sexting and digital sexual communications in determining sexual consent. The episode begins with a lighthearted conversation about watches, particularly the 1983 Seiko ultra-thin quartz, before transitioning into an intense debate about academic perspectives and case law. The hosts analyze Professor Elaine Craig's unpublished article from the Dalhousie Law Journal, which argues against the reliability of sexting to infer sexual intention or consent. They discuss two key cases—Reimer and MA—with emphasis on Justice Pachaco's ruling in Reimer, which supports the relevance of prior sexual communications in assessing consent during alleged incidents. Joseph and Michael critique Craig's position, highlighting her argument that digital sexual communications often lack reliability due to their stylized and performative nature. The podcast balances legal analysis with personal commentary, offering insights into the complexities of interpreting consent in the digital age while maintaining a dynamic and engaging tone throughout.

Divers praised its durability and functionality, and its distinctive appearance set it apart in the crowded dive watch market.

The result was the Arken Instrumentum, a limited release followed a few years later by the clever travel timer that is the Alterum.

Enjoy the episode, and tune in to the watch content after approximately 19 minutes.Getting a sweet Rolex under €8K is not only doable but pretty darn easy! There are loads of models available, including steel sports pieces and dress models in precious metals. Vintage or modern, we've got you covered! HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off our episode with some schnitzel talk. Depending on where one travels, different types of schnitzels exist that we're ready to try — most of them, that is! We also mention some upcoming Jordan 1 sneakers celebrating 40 years since the first pair. Then, we talk about a few TV shows we've been watching. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing his faithful Seiko 6139 chronograph. Mike is sporting the recently reviewed G-Shock DW-5000R-1A Origin Revival.Rolex under €8KFor our main topic, we discuss Rolex under €8K. How did we select this upper limit? That's a good question! We wanted to come in comfortably below the five-figure mark, but we also felt that €5K was too low in 2025. We realize that the upper end isn't inexpensive, but we mention several models that cost much less. For our search, we primarily used Chrono24 as a basis. Our picks are:Explorer II ref. 16570 "Polar" with drilled lug holes, a watch that is still somewhat of a Rolex outcastDay-Date ref. 1803 in 18K gold on a leather strap, a beautiful dress watch that costs significantly less without the full-gold braceletExplorer ref. 14270, the iconic 36mm "GADA" watch that flies below the radarAir-King ref. 14000 from the '90s with a dark blue "Explorer-style" dial, the value king as long as a 34mm case isn't a concernSubmariner Date ref. 16610 from the '90s with drilled lug holes, the legendary sports watch that put Rolex on the map as the must-have luxury brandDatejust ref. 160x "Pie-Pan," quite possibly the only watch you'll ever need due to its supreme comfort, go-anywhere looks, and endless variantsWe hope you enjoy today's episode.

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue sur DM&V, j'espère que vous allez pour le mieux. Cela fait maintenant plus de deux ans que j'ai le plaisir de partager avec vous la passion pour les montres et plus largement, pour le monde de l'horlogerie. J'en profite d'ailleurs pour vous remercier de la confiance que vous m'accordez, ça me va droit au cœur. Ceux qui suivent la chaine connaissent mon amour pour les pièces vintage, et, plus particulièrement pour les petites pépites accessibles ! D'ailleurs, vous m'avez souvent entendu dire, au fil des épisodes, tout le bien que je pense des montres anciennes, que je considère comme de véritables capsules de temps, témoins de leur époque et possédant un supplément d'âme incomparable...sans parler du caractère unique de chaque pièce....et ce tout en étant bien souvent moins chères que le neuf dont les prix paraissent parfois déconnectés du budget de la majorité d'entre nous. Mais, n'allez pas imaginer que je n'aime et ne plébiscite que le vintage...non. J'adore également le neuf et les créations contemporaines. Mon plaisir étant justement d'alterner entre montres neuves et vintage au poignet. Or, cela fait plusieurs mois que je reçois de plus en plus de messages me demandant de vous faire une sélection de pièces vintages. Et je vous comprends, car se lancer dans ce type d'achat en 2025 peut vite s'avérer problématique. Montres trafiquées, frankenwatch, pièces révisées mais pas révisées, garanties bancales, vendeurs inconnus, sans références ou à l'autre bout du monde...Tout cela transforme vite le plaisir en cauchemar. Et donc, à force de messages en ce sens, un jour de fin 2024 lors d'un épisode, je vous ai proposé spontanément de créer une sélection de pièces vintages accessibles. Et suite à cela, j'ai été hyper surpris de vos retours, je m'attendais pas à ça ! : en clair, vous étiez très nombreux à être super chauds pour que je mette ça en place rapidement ! D'ailleurs, je tiens à vous remercier pour le succès et l'accueil que vous avez fait à la première sélection, dont l'épisode a été diffusé le 29 novembre dernier. Pour ceux qui ne l'ont pas vu, n'hésitez pas à le regarder, ne serait-ce que pour le plaisir des yeux, même si toutes les pièces présentes ont trouvé acquéreur. Suite à votre enthousiasme en décembre dernier, j'ai le plaisir de vous proposer la seconde édition de ma sélection de pièces vintage abordables disponibles à la vente.
