The Worn & Wound Podcast

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.

On today’s episode of Changing Gears, Kat Shoulders and Garrett Jones are joined by Erin Daly and Paul Hooker. Erin and Paul are both pilots based out of Phoenix, Arizona. They have grown a big Instagram following as they document their travels and experiences on social media. Kat was able to go and visit with them just a few months ago, and they recollect their time together as well as get into the nitty gritty on how to get your pilot’s license. Turns out it’s not that scary! Big thanks to Citizen for making this episode possible. As some of you may know, Citizen celebrated 35 years of the Promaster line this year and these watches were created to meet the demands of professionals active in the most challenging environments in the air, land, or sea. Super fitting for folks like Erin & Paul. Check out the new Special Edition Promaster x Sikorsky S-92 that was produced in collaboration with the American aircraft manufacturer and has become Paul’s new daily wearer. 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!

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and Devin Pennypacker take to their mics to once again answer questions from listeners, submitted via Instagram and our Worn & Wound+ Slack channel. There’s a huge range of questions this week on a variety of topics, including the recent GS9 event in New York City, our favorites from Windup NYC, and whether or not to invest in a watch winder.

We return to the newness on episode 93 of A Week in Watches. There have been a lot of very interesting releases in the last few weeks, ranging from new versions of popular watches to new complications from unexpected sources. The episode begins by looking at the Christopher Ward Bel Canto Classic, a neo-traditional take on the brand’s runaway hit. Following this, we leave Earth to discuss the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Earth Phase. Yes, it’s another MoonSwatch, but this one does something no other watch has done before.Afterward, we discuss the new Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT. The first Pelagos GMT from the ever-popular brand, it brings the FXD back to its military roots. Finally, we talk about some new Seiko Prospex divers that, to be frank, have us altogether confused. This week’s episode is brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop, where the all new the Timex X Worn & Wound WW75 V3 is now available. Limited to 500 per color and priced at $239, these fun, colorful watches were inspired by the end of summer and a desire to keep it going. Pick one up today at Windup Watch Shop.

Ok, so the name “Worn Out” didn’t hit quite as well as we had hoped (I guess you have to know Blake and Zach well to get their sense of humor), but the episode itself was a success. So, the show is now called “Unwinding with Blake and Zach,” which has less negative connotations. Live and learn.In episode 2 Blake and Zach reflect a bit about Windup Watch Fair NYC, how it went, etc, and then move on to the topic of monetization. An ever misunderstood and touchy topic, they discuss a bit about the early days of Worn & Wound, how they attempted to monetize the site, what they learned, and where it has led. This also brings up another touchy and ever important topic, that of integrity, a concept that will be revisited on future episodes as well.

THIS IS BRAZIL!The last month has been a roller coaster when it comes to the Drivers and Constructors Championship. As rain, the great equalizer, became a certainty for the Brazilian GP, we found ourselves licking our chops at the battle we were sure to witness amongst the frontrunning teams. Instead, Max Verstappen displayed one of the greatest driving performances of all time. We discuss the odds that were stacked against him as well as what this does for his legacy. While Max found himself dancing in the rain, McLaren and driver Lando Norris put forward a performance that left much to be desired. In one race, their path to a Drivers championship was as good as done while the path to a Constructors title suddenly became perilous. All this while Alpine, a team often relegated to the bottom half of the field, found themselves rounding out the podium and bringing home a season’s worth of points.Take a listen as we break down the race, the crashes, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Brazilian GP

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. The latest from the Austin-based watchmakers is inspired by the relentless spirit of musicians and their fans. The Touring GMT has independent hour and GMT hands so you can seamlessly track the time in your next venue and back at home. Available three colorways inspired by American music venues, check out the Touring GMT at the Trafford website.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.

What a difference a 20 second penalty makes.It was just last week we were ready to put the nail in Lando Norris’ championship bid only to see the stewards this week wake up and realize maybe, just maybe, Max Verstappen needs a timeout. After two aggressive and some may say downright dangerous moves to keep Lando from passing him, we discuss what another week of spicy wheel to wheel battling means for the championship chase.While those two went after each other, we saw Ferrari once again benefit. This time around, it was Carlos Sainz, who may have had his best weekend all year, grabbing pole for the race. Though Max made an early run, taking P1, he snatched the position back, leading the rest of the way to the flag. With him and Charles Leclerc finishing 1,3, Ferrari is now in second place for the constructors championship and seem primed for a run.Take a listen as we break down the race, the Redbull’s tough weekend, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Mexico City GP.

Time on Screen is back this week with an all new episode, just in time for Halloween. We’re pretty big fans of horror movies around here and don’t need much of an excuse to talk about them on a podcast, but we’ll gladly take one. So today, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are digging into what is perhaps the greatest horror movie ever made, The Shining. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, the 1980 adaptation of the Stephen King novel has a complex history, from a difficult production to a mixed reception upon release, and decades of gradually seeping into popular culture to the point where the film’s impact is undeniable. Zach and Kat discuss all of that and more, and also dip into Doctor Sleep, the underrated 2019 sequel directed by Mike Flanagan.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 and Kat are joined by Worn & Wound contributor Meg Tocci. Meg is a watch enthusiast based in Colorado, and in this episode we discuss how she got into the world of watches, and what excites her about the hobby. As you’ll hear, Meg takes full advantage of the Colorado landscape, putting her watches to the test with a great deal of hiking and other outdoor activities. Meg is particularly interested in how we experience watches and in how they accompany us on many of life’s adventures, an idea that she touches on frequently in her writing. We also get into overlanding, one of Meg’s most recent endeavors, and her experience earlier this year at the 2024 Overland Expo.This episode is sponsored by Sternglas and their new Merion Dive Watch. Sternglas is celebrating 8 years with the launch of its second dedicated dive watch, this time with an internal rotating bezel and colorful textured dials.

If you haven’t already, be sure to refresh the Worn & Wound podcast feed this morning, because we have a special bonus pod to start your week. At the recent Windup Watch Fair in New York City, we recorded a very special podcast in front of a live audience with our friends at Collective Horology and some very special guests. Co-moderated by Collective’s Asher Rapkin and Zach Kazan, we welcome Brew founder Jonathan Ferrer and Urwerk co-founder Martin Frei to the stage for a lively conversation about how each of these unique horological voices started their brands.We see lots of parallels between Urwerk and Brew. While they exist at opposite ends of the price point spectrum, both are design forward brands with a deep independent streak, and in this discussion we dig into how Jonathan and Martin approached building their brands, separated by decades and in very different watch market climates. Both Jonathan and Martin share revealing stories about the challenges of starting independent watch brands, and including how they leveraged the internet and social media in very different ways, and leaned on their own collector communities to build momentum.

On this week’s episode of A Week in Watches, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss, take you inside Windup Watch Fair New York City 2024. The biggest and best Windup yet, there were over 140 brands in attendance and tens of thousands of guests. Unfortunately, we couldn’t cover everything we saw there, so we focused on talking to six brands new to Windup. This episode was sponsored by Trafford Watch Co and their new Touring GMT. The latest from the Austin-based watchmakers is inspired by the relentless spirit of musicians and their fans. The Touring GMT has independent hour and GMT hands so you can seamlessly track the time in your next venue and back at home.

It’s good to be back.This weekend was quite eventful as not only was there racing but we also had our crown jewel event of the year; the Windup Watch Fair NYC. Ricardo discussed just how different this fair was from those of the past as well as its overall impact within the watch community.From there, we jumped straight into the racing. The first test of this final stretch of the season being the Circuit of the Americas. As a Grand Prix, this circuit has been purpose built for the larger generation of F1 cars, which means competitive racing is not only possible but pretty much assured as the drivers find themselves 2-3 wide around many turns. We were not disappointed in the first laps of the race as we saw Ferrari establish an early lead while the two main drivers fighting for the championship went wide. Charles Leclerc found himself taking early command of the race and never looked back. We discussed this and Ferrari’s overall dominance this past weekend.While Leclerc cruised to victory, the last laps featured an epic battle for the last podium spot between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. This is what we were all waiting for and it did not disappoint, leaving us with a bit of controversy and a yearning for more wheel to wheel battles between these two.Take a listen as we break down the race, the titles up for grabs, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 United States GP

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Rolf Studer, Co-CEO of Oris, for a conversation recorded live at the Windup Watch Fair in New York City over the weekend. Oris has been an important partner and supporter of the Windup Watch Fair for years, so it was rewarding to see them choose the opening of Windup as the launch platform for their latest release, the new Divers Date. The Divers Date is an evolution of the Divers Sixty-Five, which itself is one of the most important enthusiast focused watches of the last decade, helping to usher in the era of vintage inspired reinterpretations that have dominated the watch space. Now, with the Divers Date, Oris has made a series of small changes to modernize the look and feel of the watch, giving it some subtle refinements that will appeal to a whole new crop of enthusiasts. In this conversation, Rolf and Zach talk about the history of the Divers Sixty-Five, how Oris goes about planning for a launch like this, and the importance of the enthusiast community. Before that, Zach is joined by Kyle Snarr, Worn & Wound’s Head of Partnerships, for a quick conversation about the just completed Windup Watch Fair, including some favorite moments and discoveries from a fair unlike any before it. For those who missed it, we’ll be showing you more photos and video footage from the fair soon, but until then we hope you enjoy this quick recap and a great conversation with Rolf Studer.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 episode, the team takes you through venue selection, how a show at this scale comes together, and all of the cool things you can do and see at Windup, including getting strap changes and bracelet adjustments from a watchmaker, seeing a number of panels throughout the weekend, checking out a bar and lounge space, and of course seeing dozens and dozens of watch brands. We’re grateful to our lead sponsors, Bulova, Christopher Ward, Fortis, Oris, and Shinola for helping to make this event possible.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 91 of A Week in Watches, Zach discusses some new releases from the last few weeks. First up is an awfully odd Nomos with a unique but unnecessary take on a date complication. Following is an overview of the newest Reversos from Jaeger-LeCoultre. A well-received launch from the historic house, it included four new styles, including a new case size. Lastly, Omega has launched the First Omega in Space for a second time, and we’re here for it.This week’s episode is brought to you by Windup Watch Fair New York City. This year’s event has earned the title of the biggest watch fair in the world, with over 130 brands from 16 different countries. Windup NYC is happening Oct 18th – 20th at 415 Fifth avenue in the heart of Manhattan. It’s free and open to the public, as always, so we hope to see you there.

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.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Worn & Wound’s Social Media Manager Devin Pennypacker along with Lasse Roxrud Farstad and Øystein Helle Husby, co-founders of Straum. Straum is an independent brand based in Norway, and the creators of the Jan Mayen collection, one of the most interesting integrated bracelet designs we’ve come across in the last few years. Devin just returned from a once in a lifetime road trip through Scandinavia, where he spent some time with the Straum team passing through Oslo, and got a chance to experience their watches in the place they were born. Devin tells us all about his trip and what he experienced, teasing an upcoming feature story that chronicles his adventures in detail, and the Straum guys give us the origin story of the brand, and talk about their initial entry into the watch world, and what might be coming next.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 we saw the grid face the test that is the Marina Bay Street Circuit. High Heat. Tight corners. A race that demands your complete concentration. And while the general podcasting and journalist community would have you think Lando Norris lacked this at moments, we discuss how he still managed to put in one of the most dominant performances we’ve seen this year. Pumping in great lap times at his engineer’s request.While Lando did exactly what he had to do, we wished others had held up their end of things (we’re looking at you Oscar Piastri). We also wished Mercedes avoided overthinking itself by sticking Lewis Hamilton on soft tires to start the race. But most of all, we hope that this wasn’t Daniel Ricciardo’s last race in F1 (recorded prior to yesterday’s announcement).Take a listen as we break down the race and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix.

New watch releases are back! After a typically slow summer in the watch world, things have been heating up in the realm of new watch releases. Ever since Geneva Watch Days, new release announcements have been coming our desks at a frantic pace, so we thought now would be a good time to talk about some of our favorites. Zach Kazna is joined by Kat Shoulders and Devin Pennypacker on this episode, and they’ve each chosen a new watch release at three distinct price points that stands out to them. Be sure to let us know in the comments what you have your eye on, and what your favorite new watches this fall (so far) have been.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 week’s episode of Time on Screen, Zach welcomes Danny Milton to the podcast to talk about a true American classic, All the President’s Men. Danny is the VP of Content at Teddy Baldassarre, and is a longtime watch industry editor and writer, and a huge movie fan. Danny has written extensively about Robert Redford’s personal Submariner worn in All the President’s Men, so this was a natural choice for the episode. Danny and Zach dive deep into the movie and the incredible story behind it, and talk about what’s so great about this style of 1970s paranoid thriller. Danny also tells us about his new project, Cinescaphe, his new project tying the film and watch worlds together.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.

The Baku City Circuit is known for its long straight and narrow castle turns.That’s why success here is a testament to a driver’s quickness and daring. It’s why in the lead up to the main event we saw Charles Leclrec, who many consider the quickest driver over a single lap grab pole, giving the Tifosi a golden opportunity to double their successes in as many weeks.But hold your horses because instead we were treated to a commanding performance by McLarens “second” driver. Oscar Piastri showed up big. And when coupled with Lando Norris’ great recovery drive, helping the team secure the top spot in the constructor’s championship. A position they haven’t sniffed in years Take a listen as we dive deep into the suspenseful race that was the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan sits down with Garrett Jones, Worn & Wound’s in-house photographer. Garrett is a relatively new member of the team, joining full time the very week of this year’s San Francisco Windup Watch Fair. But he had contributed a number of gear and EDC focused pieces before that, so he’s likely not completely unfamiliar to regular readers. In this conversation, Garrett talks about how he got into watches through the EDC world and his longtime interest in photography.

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.

Monza rarely disappoints. With the Tifosi always hungry for Ferrari win, this year’s race finally satiated their appetite as Charles Leclerc, with the help of teammate Carlos Sainz brought home a surprising and well fought victory. We go over this great performance from Charles and talk about how Charles has now secured two of the most important races on his calendar.We also acknowledge how none of this would have been possible without the amazing support Ferrari received from their good friends McLaren. A McLaren team that refuses to establish an order and a prioritization strategy for their drivers. They are still on a path that can get them both the Driver’s and Constructors championship but we wonder how long that can last with their current approach.Tune in as we delve into this and more on this episode of the 2024 Italian Grand Prix.

This week on the podcast, Kat Shoulders catches up with Zach Kazan, who just returned from Geneva Watch Days and a whirlwind three days of meeting with brands and seeing a ton of new watches. Kat and Zach discuss the genesis of Geneva Watch Days and how it differs in key ways from Watches & Wonders, and then they talk about some of the big new releases from last week’s festivities, including a new collaboration between H. Moser and Studio Underd0g, a stunning superwatch from Girard-Perregaux, and a great new chronograph (and a bunch of other cool stuff) from Ming.Be sure to check out all the coverage so far from Geneva Watch Days in the show notes below, and stay tuned to Worn & Wound for even more over the course of the next week.This episode was sponsored by Sternglas and their new Naos Pro Automatik Watch.

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.

In the first race back from the summer break, McLaren, who was already on a positive trajectory, smoked their closest rival to the tune of a 22 second gap at the finish line. A gap reminiscent of the first race of the season where Max Verstappen had us believing it would be 2023 all over again. After months of asking for more competitive challengers, it now seems like McLaren will only be taking Redbull’s place. We discuss if this dominant performance will be the new norm and how Redbull’s current trajectory may mean a battle for the Driver’s Championship isn’t an unrealizable dream for the papaya team.We also look forward to Monza and wonder if Ferrari is holding upgrades back specifically for their home race. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen the team hyper-focused on success at one racetrack. What’s more, with a new racer on the grid (Bye Logan, Hi Franco), we enthusiastically await what the Temple of Speed has to offer this weekend.Start up your podcast player and listen to this episode for more of our thoughts on the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix.

Today, we sit down with Kenneth Lam of Arken Watch Co. We chat about what kind of watch collector he was early on, what inspired his brand, and what's to come from Arken. As many of you know, his designs stand out among the many micro-brands out there, and Ken is using some interesting complications we dive into on the pod this week.

In this new episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan is joined by Ed Jelley to talk about the latest entry in one of their favorite sci-fi franchises: Alien: Romulus. The Alien series holds a special place in the hearts of both Zach and Ed, and in this episode they spend some time talking about how their relationship with these movies has evolved over time, and they of course get into some casual ranking of the films in the series, something that is basically required whenever the Alien flicks are discussed. Then they turn their attention to Romulus, which they both agree is a fun and welcome addition to the franchise, running through some of their favorite scenes, and giving their thoughts on what has turned out to be some fairly controversial fan service (spoilers abound in this episode – this is your warning!).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.

It’s finally over. After several weeks, we finally get back to racing. But before enjoying the beautiful turns that Circuit Zandvoort has to offer, Ricardo and Amarveer take a look back at all the headlines from a silly season that wasn’t all that silly. From Williams and Haas taking steps forward to lock in their future drivers lineup, to more personnel being plucked from the Red Bull tree. Though nothing earth shattering happened, there was plenty to discuss.And as many podcasts decided to rank the teams and drivers, we decided to take a different route and steal a page from the National Football league. We decided to have ourselves a good ole draft. With the worst team at the beginning of summer break getting a chance to pick anyone from the current pool of drivers. When it was all said and done, you couldn’t believe the driver pairings we were left with.So sit back and enjoy this latest episode of Time on Track.

This week on the podcast, we’re coming to you from Oceanside, CA at the brand new headquarters of the James Brand. Kat Shoulders and James Helms are joined by Ryan Coulter and Mike Hoefer from the James Brand. The Worn & Wound team was in Oceanside over the weekend for a pop-up at the brand new James Brand HQ that included some of our favorite brands, including Brew, Citizen, Zodiac, and of course the James Brand itself. In this episode, we hear about the origins of the James Brand, how they expanded, and the sometimes underreported role of design and aesthetics in the EDC community.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 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.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by one of Worn & Wound’s newest team members, Devin Pennypacker. Devin is Worn & Wound’s Digital Media Specialist, a watch industry veteran, and someone you’ll be hearing from and seeing a lot more of in the near future, so we’re incredibly happy to have him on the podcast to introduce him to our listeners. Devin has been interested in watches for years, and in this conversation he discusses his path through the hobby and how he wound up at Worn & Wound while telling us about the watches he’s interested in, what he looks for as a collector, and more. Devin and Zach also chat about his recent experience at the Mubadala City DC Open with Rado, and what makes their ceramic watches so appealing. Devin also gives us a preview of an upcoming feature on the Seiko Samurai, a longtime personal favorite of his, and a diver that sometimes goes under the radar when compared to the brand’s more well known divers, and chats about his recent “Windup in a Lake” experience at the Windup Watch Fair in Chicago.A reminder: Worn & Wound is heading to the West Coast!

Speed. Beautiful scenery. Wins that disappear before you even get a chance to enjoy them. That is what Spa-Francorchamp gave us for this years Grand Prix. What looked like a 1-2 by Mercedes, with both a dominating and surprising performance by their drivers, soon became a huge miscalculation. We ponder whether this was a terrible mistake by the team or a bit of Karma for a driver who did everything he needed to do to win. We also take a look back at how Checo Perez took what should have been an amazing opportunity to save a seat we all felt was in peril and instead finished behind his teammate, who started way behind him. What would it actually take for Checo to lose his seat? Driving the car in reverse.Let us know your thoughts below as you listen to this episode on the 2024 Belgian GP.

This week on the podcast, Kat Shoulders and Zach Kazan are once again taking questions from our Worn & Wound+ community members and Instagram followers. There were lots of good questions this month, including one on our favorite watch spots in movies, our favorite ana-digi watches, and how we rank various strap material options. There’s also a very important question about how we cut our sandwiches, which is perhaps the most surprising and controversial question we’ve ever tackled.

Time on Screen is back this week with an all new episode covering one of the most talked about action movies of its era, Mad Max: Fury Road. Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr both saw its prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, earlier this summer, which inspired them to revisit George Miller’s long anticipated return to the Mad Max universe from 2015. Fury Road has a big reputation and for good reason – it’s one of the most visually stunning pure action films ever made, and moves at a breakneck pace for the duration of its two hour runtime. Zach and Kyle dig into what they like most about the film, how it stands up over time, the inspired casting decisions (it’s perhaps Charlize Theron’s defining role) and how it compares to the other films in the Mad Max franchise.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 podcast, Zach Kazan sits down with Griffin Bartsch, Worn & Wound contributor and watch collector, about his path into collecting and why he’s stuck around in the hobby. Griffin got started in the hobby at a young age with a hand-me-down vintage watch, and that set the stage for years of exploration into watches of all kinds. Griffin takes us through some of the watches that have defined his taste over the years, and how his outlook has changed over time, including through his experiences at auctions, writing about watches, and working for a major watch retailer. Griffin also gives us a preview of his upcoming review of the Zenith Defy Extreme Diver, one of the most talked about new releases of the year.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.

What if I told you on July 20th that Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton would crash into each other at the Hungarian GP but that would be a distant second to the main story? A story of a team finishing 1,2 but bad race management and a cringe worthy 20-30 mins of radio overshadowing that. We take a look back at how McClaren poorly handled their most dominant performance this year. We also question if a team can truly be successful with this approach. If Lando Norris isn’t being prioritized for the rest of the year, can you take McClaren seriously in any attempt at the driver’s championship? Is Lando Norris not the team’s number one driver?So many questions. And we try our best in Part II of this podcast to answer them. So sit back and enjoy this episode and listen to our thoughts on the Hungarian GP.

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.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, it’s time to preview the Windup Watch Fair in Chicago. 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.
