Podcast appearances and mentions of zach weiss

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we're talking all things Geneva Watch Days 2025. Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Devin Pennypacker to recap the event and the most interesting watches that came out of it. Before getting into the watches themselves, the group talks about their impressions of the event itself and its relative importance on the watch industry calendar. This was Zach W's first time at Geneva Watch Days (and Zach K's second), and the show itself is rapidly changing, so there's a lot to talk about on this front. While the releases at Geneva Watch Days aren't as splashy as the novelties you'll find at Watches & Wonders, there are still plenty of gems to be found, the event represents a great opportunity for small brands to get a ton of attention. That was really the case this year, as you'll hear Zach and Zach that some of the watches that most impressed them came from true indies (at all price points), like Behrens and Dennison. Let us know what you thought of this year's crop of Geneva Watch Days releases 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.

Water has always been a fundamental force shaping our planet – both in sustaining life across ecosystems and in guiding the organization and survival of human societies. Yet, many of us are unaware of how intertwined our lives are with the water cycle, much less of the ways we  deplete and degrade the water resources that we and other living creatures rely upon for our very existence. What might change if we had a deeper understanding of global and regional hydrological cycles? On this Reality Roundtable, Nate is joined by Heather Cooley, Zach Weiss, and Mike Joy to discuss the importance of water and hydrology and the complex ways they impact our planet. Together, they unpack how we are disrupting global water systems through global heating and pollution, resulting in increases in droughts and flooding across the globe. Additionally, each expert offers their perspective on the action required to heal our water systems – including ecosystem restoration, regional watershed planning, and national policies to reduce industrial and agricultural pollution. If we continue with our same patterns of agriculture, industrial production, and consumption, what will the availability of clean and affordable water be like just decades from now? Are we already beginning to see the signs of destabilized hydrological cycles in our planetary system? And could fostering a better relationship and understanding of the water cycle lead to a broader recognition of our interdependence with all systems that support rich, complex life on Earth? (Conversation recorded on June 11th, 2025)   About Heather Cooley: Heather Cooley is the Director of the Pacific Institute's Water Program. She conducts and oversees research on an array of water issues, such as the connections between water and energy, sustainable water use and management, and the hydrologic impacts of climate change.     About Mike Joy: Mike Joy is a leading freshwater ecologist and an advocate for the conservation of our waterways. He has been working for two decades at the interface of science and policy with a goal of addressing agriculture's polluting impacts on New Zealand's waterways.   About Zach Weiss:  Zachary Weiss is the founder of Elemental Ecosystems, an ecological development company specializing in watershed restoration and ecosystem regeneration, and has worked in over 25 countries across 6 continents. After 10 years, Zach also founded Water Stories as a way to train others in the same work through his watershed restoration expertise.    Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

In this episode of Changing Gears, host Kat Shoulders sits down with Betty Van of Switch and Click, the creator behind one of the most popular YouTube channels in the mechanical keyboard space along with W&W co-founders Blake Malin and Zach Weiss. The W&W team and Betty kick things off with a wrist check and keyboard check before diving into the story of how Switch and Click began, the inspiration behind the channel, and the moment Betty realized it could turn into something much bigger than a hobby. They explore what makes gear so addictive, from the sensory joy of clicks and textures to the way personal objects can become an extension of who we are.Betty shares her favorite discoveries in the keyboard world, her tips for anyone buying their first board, and how she balances making in-depth content that's still approachable for beginners. The conversation also covers building community, staying authentic in a niche that can sometimes feel intimidating, and Betty's newest passion: watches.Whether you're a seasoned keyboard builder, a gear enthusiast, or just curious about what makes these objects so fascinating, this episode is full of insights, laughs, and inspiration.We hope you like this new podcast format and really appreciate all the listeners! Kat has some awesome interviews in the works for those of you that love gear!

When it comes to Zach's in watch media, you could say we've saved the best till last. Zach Weiss is one of the co-founders of Worn & Wound, a watch news site that has been championing accessible watch enthusiasm since 2011. Andy chats to Zach about how the term 'microbrand' continues to be challenging to define, how much media has evolved over the years, and how Worn & Wound is staying true to its roots while adding more to its offering. Before that, Felix and Andy ask at what point a value proposition ceases to be a good value as prices continue to rise. Plus, watches in Happy Gilmore and more Jay-Z Franck drama.  Tony Traina updates us on Jay-Z's "Franck Muller" (13:00) Interview with Zach Weiss from Worn & Wound  (19:50) Farr & Swit Retro Digital (36:00) Discommon's technical totes (56:00) Show Notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes OT: Discord - https://discord.com/invite/X3Vvc9z7aV How to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/ot.podcast https://www.facebook.com/otpodcastau https://instagram.com/andygreenlive https://instagram.com/fkscholz   Send us an email: otthepodcast@gmail.com If you liked our podcast - please remember to like/share and subscribe.

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 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.

Does micro-adjust actually matter? Should watch dials really have all that extra writing on them? Does the next Gerald Genta already walk among us? This week the boys are looking to ruffle some feathers around the #watchfam with our own spiciest subway takes, and who better to tap in for this one than our longtime pal and resident New Yorker, Worn&Wound co-founder Zach Weiss.

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.

I've got the OSCAR fever, hope you got it too! On a returning ERIC ROBERTS is the MAN we're joined by guest - and ON CINEMA, AT THE CINEMA expert Zach Weiss - to discuss Eric Roberts' recent appearance on the 12th Annual Oscar Special. We go deep on the history of the bizarre franchise created by Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington, as well as its various spin-offs, and try to explain just why the heck people would spend hours of their time watching this stuff (a questions we're VERY familiar with on ERITFM!). Just in case that doesn't whet your whistle we also have a look at an episode of the action espionage TV show BURN NOTICE directed by Renny Harlin and featuring an ALL-STAR cast including Dean Cain, Kristanna Loken, and - of course- ERIC ROBERTS! All this and the latest Eric Roberts news IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT! The post Episode 269 – Eric Roberts is the Man – 12th Annual On Cinema Oscar Special (2025) (/w Zach Weiss) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

A Sustainability Now Interview with Water Stories Founder, Zach Weiss What if the key to impacting climate change isn't as much about carbon as it is about water? In this episode, we are delighted to welcome back Zach Weiss, visionary water restoration expert and founder of Water Stories, for an exploration of how and why healing the water cycle can regenerate the planet. From extreme weather events—droughts and wildfires to catastrophic mudslides and floods—our planet's most pressing climate crises are symptoms of a broken water cycle—a situation that we have the ability to heal. Zach shares why water cycle restoration is the most effective, immediate, and scalable solution to stabilizing our climate, cooling landscapes, reversing desertification, and restoring thriving ecosystems. Drawing from real-world success stories, Zach shares how farms, cities, and even entire river systems are being revived through simple, nature-based interventions. In Montana, a parking lot became a thriving wetland in just two years, providing habitat for a rare and endangered salamander species. In India, through the work of Rajendra Singh, communities restored 13 rivers that had been dry for decades. These projects aren't just theoretical—they're proof that by working with nature, rather than against it, we can restore balance to the planet. With a community of 6000 and growing, Water Stories is spreading the word through education and action, providing extensive resources for individuals, professionals, and policymakers alike. They also offer a once-a-year six-month training that equips participants with the knowledge and skills to get involved in this regenerative work—work that has been successfully implemented by everyone from individual land stewards to government agencies.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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. 

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 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?

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.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we've assembled a full house for a good old fashioned new release roundup. It's been a little while since we've done one of these, but there have been so many notable new watches coming to market in recent weeks and months, we felt like it was time. Joining Zach Kazan this week we've got Kat Shoulders, Zach Weiss, and Devin Pennypacker to unpack big releases from Tudor, Christopher Ward, Omega, and more. Be sure to let us know what you think of these new releases, and let us know in the comments which ones we might have missed – we had a big list of watches and definitely didn't get to all of them in this recording. This episode was sponsored by Trafford Watch Co and their new Touring GMT.

We're kicking off something different this week with a new monthly podcast from Blake Malin and Zach Weiss, two of the co-founders of Worn & Wound. Tentatively (but not concretely) called Worn Out, this pod will be a casual conversation that takes a more behind-the-scenes approach to the industry. Having both been working in the watch industry for close to 14 years and having built a successful independent business within it, they have a lot of experience and a unique perspective on things, including what it takes to run a media company. The first episode is a very general conversation about the podcast's goal, a bit about Worn & Wound over the years, and then Windup Watch Fair. With Windup NYC just around the corner, it was a good time to look at where the fair began and what it has grown into.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

In this session I hosted a discussion on the importance of restoring proper hydrological function in a landscape and the steps to achieving it with my friends and colleagues at Climate Farmers, a non-profit organisation working to advance regenerative agriculture in Europe. In this panel I got to speak with three of the most experienced and influential educators working on this from a farming perspective. Since landscape hydrology and its proper function is often overlooked in its importance in regulating global temperature, I wanted to focus on this specifically. I was lucky enough to bring together three of the experts that have most guided my learning in this field, Zach Weiss, Nicole Masters, and Mark Shepard. Don't forget that if you want to see the video of the full event, you can check it out on the Climate Farmer's Youtube channel through the link in the show notes for this episode. Zach Weiss is the protégé of revolutionary Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer, Zach is the first person to earn Holzer Practitioner certification directly from Sepp. Zach went on to create Elemental Ecosystems to provide an action-oriented process to improve clients' relationship with their landscape. Elemental Ecosystems is an ecological development, contracting, and consulting firm specializing in watershed restoration and ecosystem regeneration. The firm's work includes Aquaculture, Agroforestry, Water Retention Landscapes, Terrace Systems, Spring Development, Natural Building, and more. Mark Shepard is the CEO of Forest Agriculture Enterprises LLC, founder of Restoration Agriculture Development LLC and award-winning author of the books, Restoration Agriculture and Water for Any Farm. He is most widely known as the founder of New Forest Farm, the 106-acre perennial agricultural savanna considered by many to be one of the most ambitious sustainable agriculture projects in the United States. Nicole Masters is is an independent agroecologist, systems thinker, storyteller, educator and author of the book “For the Love of Soil.” With over 20 years of practical and theoretical experience in regenerative agriculture, she is also recognised as a knowledgeable and dynamic speaker on the topic of soil health. Her team of soil coaches at Integrity Soils work alongside producers in the U.S., Canada and across Australasia supporting producers and organisations who cover over 24 million acres, to take their landscapes to the next level in nutrient density, profitability and environmental outcomes.

On episode 89 of A Week in Watches, Zach Weiss checks out a trilogy of new releases. First up, from the UK is Christopher Ward's new C60 Lumiére. Featuring big blocks of Globolight, it's a lume fiend's dream. Next is a new and long-awaited Sinn, the 156.1, a follow-up to an iconic Sinn with an exciting history. Last, but not least, are the Louis Erard x Stefan Kudoke Le Regulateurs. A collaboration with an indie star, these watches bring a refined aesthetic to Louis Erard's regulator watches.This week's episode is brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop, which has just added several awesome watches to its collection. From Hamilton, they've added the just released 33 and 38mm Khaki Field Quartz. Yes, 33mm just like the original Khaki fields. From Louis Erard is the new Metropolis Green, an art deco inspired collaboration with the Instagram famous @thehorophile. There's also more from Casio, G-SHOCK, Laco, and others so head to windupwatchshop.com to check them out.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are tackling questions from our listeners submitted through Instagram and our Worn & Wound+ Slack community. There are a bunch of great questions this month on a range of topics, including the prevalence of luxury quartz watches, our thoughts on the latest from Christopher Ward, and whether or not it's ever appropriate to pay a premium for a particular dial color. There's also, as is tradition, a sandwich related question, which we of course are thrilled to answer.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

On episode 88 of A Week in Watches, Zach Weiss takes you through several new and wild releases. Geneva Watch Days kicked off last week and with it, many cool things were announced. But that's not all, as there were some surprise announcements too. There was a lot to cover from Armin Strom to Grand Seiko to Tudor.

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 this week's podcast, Zach Kazan, Kat Shoulders, and Zach Weiss are on the mic to talk about their watch origin stories. Everyone has a first watch, and these are the ones that, although we couldn't possibly know it at the time, set us on an inexorable path to the watch industry. We'd love to know what your first watch was, and if you still have it, so let us know in the comments below. Since we knew we'd be talking about first watches, we thought we'd also provide some recommendations for first watches if anyone in your life might be looking to pick up a time telling device for the wrist, and potentially fall down what we can all agree is quite the rabbit hole. These are very loose recommendations, not necessarily taking price or age into account, and we tried to have as much fun with these as possible. We think there are some pretty good choices included!To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

On episode 85 of A Week in Watches, Zach Weiss and Zach Kazan co-host from Windup Watch Fair Chicago 2024. With over 60 brands in attendance, it was a fantastic fair. Zach and Zach chose two brands each to talk to, one just debuting and the other a staple with a new release. Zach Kazan spoke to Monta about the Noble GMT, and then Colorado's 5280 watches, who are creating rose-engine turned, vitreous enamel dials in the US. Zach Weiss then spoke to Chicago's own Astor + Banks about the SeaRanger M2, as well as ARTEFKT Seven, a new brand that turned a lot of heads at the fair.To stay up to date about future Windup Watch Fairs, such as the New York City fair happening in October, head to WindupWatchFair.com

This week on the podcast, we continue a Windup Watch Fair tradition. For the third year in a row, we're teaming with our friends Jason Heaton and James Stacey of The Grey NATO for a collaborative podcast. We recorded in front of a (packed) live audience on the final day of Windup, and covered a lot of ground. Once again, we're splitting it up so you'll hear the first half on our feed today, and the second half on TGN tomorrow. In this half of the conversation, Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and the TGN guys talk about their favorite watches at the fair. There were a lot of great watches on display at the show, and we really only scratched the surface. We also get all the details on the third iteration of “Windup in a Lake,” our annual dive trip on Lake Michigan, which this year was sponsored by Citizen. Be sure to check out TGN tomorrow to hear all about the TGN get-together that took place shortly before our podcast recording, as well as a lengthy Q&A session from our live audience.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

Events Manager Nelly Calhoun takes over hosting duties this week, and is joined by Worn & Wound cofounders Zach Weiss and Blake Malin. Together they discuss the origins of the Windup Watch Fair, the growth of the microbrand and independent watch community, and they even tell some war stories from the earliest days of the show. Before that, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are on mic to introduce this week's episode, and share some of their own Windup memories.Just a note, in the intro, Zach and Kat mistakenly introduce the main panel as including Kyle Snarr, Head of Partnerships, who was not able to join in on this episode. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, it's time once again for our monthly(ish) Q&A episode, and this time Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss for a series of great questions from our Worn & Wound+ Slack community and Instagram followers. In this episode we have questions about the “most improved” brands in the space, how we maintain enthusiasm for watches, and our preferred straps for summer. There's also a highly controversial question here that asks us to choose between tacos and hamburgers, and regret ensues immediately after it's answered.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

They also talk about a huge variety of other topics, including servicing your Grand Seiko, the story behind the new Kodo, and what makes the new Grand Seiko flagship boutique in New York City special. He also provides some insight into the release of the new Locomotive from Credor, one of the most unexpected and exciting new releases this year.

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.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

Over the years, Garrick Watchmakers has become one of our favorite independent brands. Their distinct design language draws on the heritage of classic British watchmaking, and the watches themselves are almost entirely bespoke. Truly, each one is made to order, and clients have enormous latitude in picking out nearly every detail. Dave Brailsford is Garrick's cofounder and joins Zach Weiss and Zach Kazan in this episode of the Worn & Wound podcast to discuss Garrick's history, the unique challenges of running a brand where the client has such a large role in the decision making process, and painstaking production process that sees Garrick making a huge amount of each watch in-house. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

Episode 77 of A Week in Watches is going to be slightly different. This episode has two hosts and no script! With the big event happening so soon (the next episode will be made from Watches & Wonders), we figured getting ready with a little Q and A would be fun. That said, two very different watches with prominent moon phase complications were also worth covering. Join Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss in the studio as they discuss the new releases and then answer some fantastic questions from the W&W+ Slack community.This week's episode was brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop, which recently added the new Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein Tourbillon to the catalog. It is a gorgeous piece of haute horology that showcases Mr. Silberstein's unique style. Head over to WindupWatchShop.com to check them out, as well as accessories, EDC, clocks, and more.

This week on Time on Screen, Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and Blake Malin sit around a Sand Worm popcorn bucket and talk about the biggest movie of the year to this point: Dune Part Two. We don't always cover new releases on Time on Screen, but with a movie this big we couldn't not discuss it. Of course, it has a fairly notable watch tie-in, but the focus of this conversation is mostly our shared immensely positive reaction to our first viewings of the Dune sequel. Given that Part Two effectively solidifies Dune as a major science fiction franchise, we also thought it would be fun to talk about our favorite sci-fi/fantasy franchises of all time. Zach, Blake, and Zach offer their top three picks in a conversation that gets pretty nerdy pretty fast, but that's kind of what you'd expect for such a sci-fi heavy discussion. Be sure to let us know in the comments what your own favorite sci-fi/fantasy franchises are, and if you agree with our picks.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss for a discussion about all things pertaining to calendar watches, particularly perpetual calendars. Last week was Leap Day, a calendar event that is celebrated with great enthusiasm by watch lovers, who get really excited to see their perpetual calendars do their thing when the calendar changes from 2/29 to 3/1. Zach and Zach run through some of their favorite perpetuals in this conversation, and discuss what draws them to these watches in the first place.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

This week the Worn & Wound podcast is all about Formex, and the recent limited edition Essence we released with them earlier in the month. We're happy to be joined by Markus Wälchli and Raphael Granito from Formex for this conversation, and Worn & Wound cofounder (and designer of this particular watch) Zach Weiss is here too.

This week, Time on Screen is back with an interesting and too often forgotten Christopher Nolan movie. Insomnia was Nolan's first big budget Hollywood production coming off the surprise hit of Memento, and while it's a pretty standard thriller on the surface, there are glimpses of what's to come for Nolan if you look for them. Zach Kazan welcomes Zach Weiss and Kat Shoulders to this episode, where they talk about how Insomnia holds up twenty years after its release, and then they pick their top three Christopher Nolan movies. There's also an extended sidebar on the recently completed fourth season of True Detective, another crime drama set in Alaska, but with a very different vibe, and weather.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

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.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

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.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.
