Ep 341The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 341: Watches & Wonders Q&A
This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are once again turning to our Worn & Wound+ community to answer your questions. This week, they’re focused specifically on Watches & Wonders, which is less than two weeks away, which means that we are (hopefully) in the last stages of planning for the big show. Questions, as you’d expect, cover a variety of topics, from the food in Geneva, to the gear we’re bringing, and, of course, all of that swag that brands hand out at the show.This episode is sponsored by Sternglas and their new Lumatic watch. Answering the community’s call, it is the first Sternglas to have dual-tone Luminova. It is an automatic watch that pushes the Bauhaus design to its minimalist limits. It’s the first Sternglas with the Miyota 8315 movement and two different Luminova colors. This new model has a satin-finished light blue dial with glowing white 3D shaded numerals and orange glowing geometric indexes. The movement features a 60-hour power reserve, quick setting date, stop seconds and 21 jewels. The case is 38mm in diameter and 12mm thick and has a water resistance of 50 meters. The display case back exhibits the movement’s blued screws, striped finishing, and skeletonized rotor. Learn more about the Lumatic here.

Time On Track: The 2024 Australian GP
bonusIt finally happened. For the first time in more than a year of racing, Max Verstappen had a DNF. Opening the door wide open for challengers on the rest of the grid. While also finally answering the question the higher ups at Red Bull have always wanted answered: can Checo pick up the pieces in situations like this and bring the car home with at least a podium?That question may have been answered two fold this week with Checo having a poor showing in what many consider the most dominant car on the grid. Adding salt to that wound was 2025 free agent Carlos Sainz showing us he has that dawg in him, bringing his Ferrari home for an amazing victory. Add a questionable move towards the end of the race and tons of storylines during it, and the race was quite an event. Tune in and listen to this episode for more of our thoughts on the Australian GP.
Ep 340The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 340: New Watches from Seiko and Omega, and Our Favorites Under $1,000
This week on the podcast, Zach and Kat are joined by Ed Jelley to chat about two of the biggest watch releases of the year so far: new divers from Seiko and a brand new white dialed Speedmaster Professional from Omega. These new watches generated a lot of buzz when they were unveiled within days of each other recently, and with Ed owning both a Speedy Pro and a prior version of the Seiko 62MAS influenced diver unveiled recently, we knew we had to get his take on both. Later, Zach, Kat, and Ed discuss their favorite watches under $1,000, inspired by a recent feature on the website. As Ed points out, this is a great time to have $1,000 to spend on a watch, with an unending variety of styles to choose from. The group talks through some of their favorites from Brew, Hamilton, Lorier, Doxa, and more.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.

Time on Screen: Dune Part Two
bonusThis 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.

A Week in Watches ep. 76: British Watchmakers' Day 2024 (but First Some Omega and Seiko)
bonusWelcome to episode 76 of A Week in Watches. As said in the last episode, much of the next episode, which is this episode, will be dedicated to the British Watchmaker’s Day. An event that took place on Saturday, March 9th, in London, the British Watchmaker’s Day hosted over 40 brands and 1,000 guests for a very successful first go. But before we go over that, we first have to look at a couple of new releases from Omega and Seiko.This episode is sponsored by William Wood and their newly released Fire Exit Watch. The watch features a Swiss-made Sellita SW220 day date movement, a green glow, and a day complication with seven illustrated days of the week featuring multiple fun references to the fire exit man icon. Click here to learn how William Wood expanded their firefighter-heritage brand with this creative and colorful watch.

Ep 339The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 339: The Importance of Watch Materials with Christopher Chew
This week, Zach welcomes Christopher Chew to the podcast. Christopher is a watch collector with a materials science background, and has experience in a variety of fields including aviation, apparel, and in the startup space, where he’s been involved in some truly cutting edge projects. Christopher has a really interesting perspective on watches and sees the materials they’re made of as a new frontier of innovation in the watch industry. In this conversation, Zach and Christopher run through some common misconceptions about the materials used in watchmaking, and discuss what might be on the horizon in the realm of watchmaking materials given where we’re at now.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.

Time on Track: the 2024 Saudi Arabian GP
bonusCan Redbull be matched, let alone be beaten?For the second Grand Prix of the year, F1 headed to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, a track where drivers spend most of their time at full throttle, navigating fast corners and long straights. Two things the RB20 seems to enjoy quite nicely as we saw a Red Bull 1-2 once again at the end of this race weekend. With the team now on cruise control, we wonder if internal turmoil may be the only thing that stands in the way of continued greatness. Beyond Red Bull doing Red Bull things, P3-P20 offered enough to keep an F1 fan glued to the screen. From an appendicitis sidelining Carlos Sainz, to a rookie getting tested in the fires of Jeddah. We even had a couple of wily veterans playing keepaway with P10. Tune in and listen to this episode for more of what we learned from the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Time on Screen: 2024 Academy Awards Preview
bonusOn this special Oscar preview episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan welcomes Kyle Snarr to the podcast to talk about all things Academy Awards, ahead of the movie industry’s big night on Sunday. Zach and Kyle offer their predictions on who they think will take home trophies in the major categories, and also discuss who they’d give the big awards to if it were completely up to them. Be sure to listen to this one ahead of the Oscars telecast on Sunday night! And if you listen after, feel free to clock how wrong Zach and Kyle might have been in their predictions in the comments below.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.

Ep 338The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 338: Perpetual Calendars
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.

Time on Track: The 2024 Bahrain GP
bonusThe first race of a very much anticipated 2024 season is in the books, only to see Max Verstappen continue his on track dominance. In this episode of Time on Track, Ricardo and Amarveer try to make sense of a poor showing from multiple top 5 teams at a Bahrain GP many would say was decided in the opening 5 laps. From Mercedes to Ferrari, each team saw its fair share of issues, shedding light on just where they stack up against the Bull’s.But what the race lacked in team vs. team competition, it made up for in teammate vs. teammate storylines. As his year long audition for a seat next year begins, is Carlos Sainz showing us he’s better than Charles Leclerc? Will Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda fight like this all season? Will Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly finally be friends now that they have a common enemy: the car? Tune in and listen to this episode to get our thoughts on the first Grand Prix of the 2024 season.
A Week In Watches Ep 75: Farer’s Worldtimer Returns, and New Watches from Fears
bonus
Time On Track: Preseason Testing and the Return of DTS
bonusWe’re back!After a winter break where many of us probably wished for a competitive 2024 season, the teams are all back with some new looking cars, new team names (RB???) and new storylines. We’ve also jumped on the newness bandwagon as we bring in a new co-host, Amarveer Brar. Hailing from sunny California, Amarveer brings his love for watches and Formula 1 to the table. Paired up with Ricardo Sime from last season, the duo look to bring a touch of Worn & Wound passion to this historical sport.Right off the bat, that’s exactly what they do, diving headfirst into preseason testing and some of their major takeaways from new cars finally hitting the track. Then, it’s a quick segue into Drive to Survive Season 6, from the interesting comments made by a 7-time Drivers World Champion, to how bad overconfidence looks when you start to fail. Tune in and listen to this first episode to get your first dose of Time on Track for the 2024 season.
Ep 337The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 337: Inside Formex, and the Making of a Worn & Wound Limited Edition
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 is a deep dive into the history of Formex and the unique challenges of creating this specific watch, plus we also hear from Zach Weiss about the sci-fi influenced campaign built around “The Watch from Another World.”This episode of the Worn & Wound podcast is brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop and the Formex x Worn & Wound Essence Sector 39 Chronometer Limited Edition – inspired by the worlds of sci-fi films and series, the Essence Sector 39 Chronometer envisions a watch from an alternate universe.

Time on Screen: Insomnia
bonusThis 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.

Ep 336The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 336: February Q&A
We’re back this week with our monthly Q&A podcast episode. Kat Shoulders, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are all on the mic fielding questions from our Instagram followers and Worn & Wound+ Slack community.

Ep 335The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 335: Zenith Head of Heritage Laurence Bodenmann
This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan talks to Laurence Bodenmann, Head of Heritage at Zenith. Laurence has what might seem like a dream job for a watch lover, poring over the Zenith archives and diving deep into the brand’s history, looking for ways to preserve and communicate that long history to a modern audience. Laurence is a trained anthropologist (and teacher) and takes an appropriately academic approach to her job at Zenith, and has a perspective like few others we’ve talked to on the podcast. In this episode, Laurence explains exactly what a Head of Heritage at a historical Swiss watch brand does, how she wound up at Zenith, and tells a few stories about discoveries she’s made along the way that have surprised her.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.

Ep 334The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 334: Talking “Selling Points” and Affordably Priced Watches with Nathan Schultz
This week on the podcast, Zach welcomes Worn & Wound contributor Nathan Schultz. Nathan has been writing for Worn & Wound for nearly a year, and is the creator of the “Selling Points” series, where he brings his unique perspective on finding value (and sometimes not finding value) to the Worn & Wound community. Zach and Nathan talk about Nathan’s history in the hobby and what draws him specifically to affordably priced watches. They also talk about watch modding culture and how Nathan recently did some surgery on a Bulova Hack to fix a noisy rotor.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.

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

There’s a new Speedmaster from Omega (a January tradition) as well reissues of classics from Zenith and Longines. Plus, the hypothetical watches from the Seiko Power Design Project, featuring “incredibly specialized watches” that 99% of people don’t need. They don’t actually exist, but they’re a lot of fun.
Ep 333The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 333: Recent Pickups and our 2024 Collection Outlook
This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan, Kat Shoulders, and Ricardo Sime jump on the mic to talk about some of their recent watch acquisitions, and what those pickups might mean (or not mean) for their collections in 2024. Ricardo finally added a GMT to his collection in late 2023 after a long search, Kat picked up a new limited edition Fears (one of her favorite brands), and Zach bought a James Lamb after his usual long period of deliberation. In this conversation, they each talk about what led them to each of their new watches, and how those watches fit into their collecting goals for the upcoming 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.

Ep 332The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 332: Overrated/Underrated with Dana Li
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.

Time on Screen: No Country For Old Men
bonusTime on Screen is back this week, and at long last features a movie by the Coen Brothers, a filmmaking team that has been incredibly important to both Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr, Worn & Wound’s Head of Partnerships and the guest on this episode. They’re tackling No Country for Old Men, the Coen’s 2007 classic neo-western based on the much loved Cormac McCarthy novel, and the film that many recognize as their true breakthrough, finally winning them a Best Picture Oscar and near universal acclaim. Zach and Kyle talk through what makes the movie special and how it fits into the larger context of the Coen’s filmography, and they finish off the episode with their personal top five favorite Coen Brothers films. There’s some overlap between their lists, but it still captures the enormous breadth and variety in their films over the years.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.

Zach and Kat field questions on topics ranging from the relaunch of Universal Geneve, mid century watch design fatigue, and a growing interest in independent watchmaking. There’s also a great discussion on the place of homage watches, and a quick diversion into Zach and Kat’s home audio setups.

Ep 330The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 330: What Tool Watches Mean to Us
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.

Time On Screen: Our Favorite Films of 2023
bonusThis week on Time on Screen, Zach is joined by Kat Shoulders as they look back on the previous year in movies. In the great tradition of movie podcasts, this is our Best of 2023 episode. Kat and Zach agree that last year was a great year for movies, the best in quite some time, dominated by a massive summer box office led by Oppenheimer and Barbie (both of which have been covered on Time on Screen, incidentally). But there were many, many other films throughout the year that left their mark. In this episode, Zach and Kat each pick their top 3 and go into depth on why each meant something to them last year, plus there are a whole slew of honorable mentions discussed toward the end. They even give a few of their favorite TV achievements from the last year. Let us know in the comments what your favorites from 2023 were, and what you think of Kat and Zach’s lists.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.

A Week In Watches Ep 71: A Look Back At The Watches Of 2023
bonusWelcome to episode 71 of A Week in Watches. To make it a tradition this is a special episode, or rather, part of one of a special two-parter cleverly titled “A Year in Watches.” Yes, we’re going to take a look back at big moments and releases from 2023. As you’d expect, there’s a lot to cover, so we’re doing the “big brands” in this episode – think Omega, Rolex, and Tudor – and micros and indies in the next.Naturally, there still was too much to cover, so we focused on big launches from Watches & Wonders, what Rolex was up to (they did some weird stuff in 2023, especially for them), and then Seiko, who had a particular focus this year.

Ep 329The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 329: Tenn & Two Reunion and 2024 Predictions
This week on the first podcast of 2024, it’s our annual predictions episode, where we look ahead to the new year and make our best guesses about what’s to come. It’s part wishful thinking, and partly just hunches we’ve been harboring, but it’s always fun to play prognosticator and imagine what might transpire over the next twelve months. On this episode, Zach and Kat welcome an often requested guest: Norqain’s Katlen Schmidt! That’s right – that makes this episode a Tenn & Two reunion episode, which is just a fantastic way to start the year. Katlen shares some of her own predictions for 2024, including her thoughts on more color, movement innovations, and the limited edition trend.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.

Ep 328The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 328: Talking Comics, "Watches and What Else," and More with Chris Antzoulis
On this week’s Worn & Wound podcast, final podcast of 2023, Zach Kazan chats with Chris Antzoulis, one of the website’s newest contributors, about some of his recent work. In addition to being a watch collector, Chris has a background in comics, which made him incredibly well suited to chat with comic book legend Adam Kubert recently about his new collaboration with Citizen and Marvel, which feels like a major crossover moment between two enthusiast worlds. Chris also developed the concept behind “Watches and What Else,” a series that examines the “other” interests of watch collectors, always looking for ways watch collecting connects to other pursuits. If you haven’t checked out “Watches and What Else” yet, we’ve linked the series to this point in the show notes below.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.

Time on Screen: Gremlins
bonusFor the second year in a row, we’ve got a special holiday themed edition of Time on Screen. Today, we have a gift for our listeners that you don’t have to worry about getting wet, exposing to bright lights, or feeding after midnight. That’s right, today we’re talking Gremlins, a movie set during Christmas, that hit theaters in the middle of summer, and on the same weekend as the weirdly similar Ghostbusters. Gremlins is a natural choice for Time on Screen – telling time is crucial in the film, after all. For this episode, Zach welcomes Ed Jelley back to the podcast to discuss their experiences revisiting a movie that has been a cult object since childhood for both of them. They ponder the question: is Gremlins actually any good? It turns out that sometimes the things that fascinate and entertain you as a child can do the opposite once you have some perspective in life. Who knew? It’s a fun conversation that digs into some of the lore around the movie, including its controversial tone and what can only be described as the all out mayhem and violence that unfurls in the film’s final act.
A Week in Watches Ep 70: Seiko 5’s new GMT and More!
bonusIt’s here, the last episode of the year. A Week in Watches episode 70 – wow. Though the year is coming to a close, there still is some news – big news actually – to discuss, so it’s a pretty full episode. We kick it off with some upgrades fromGrand Seiko to one of their core designs. From there, we head to the UK to check out a couple of late-in-the-year releases from Farer. Then, it’s over to Switzerland to discuss Breitling’s acquisition of Universal Genève. Finally, we’re back to Japan for some new, and very cool, GMTs from Seiko 5.

This is our Watch of the Year episode, where we find Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, Kat Shoulders, and Ed Jelley picking the watches that stood out to them in a crowded year of new releases. Their picks run the gamut, from affordable micro-brand staples, to the impossibly high end haute horlogerie, and everything in between.Let us know in the comments what releases stood out to you, and stay tuned to these pages as we’ll be bringing you our full year end wrap up featuring contributions from our contributing writers next week.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.

A Week in Watches Ep. 69: Seikos, Sea Shells, Flybacks, and More!
bonusOn this week’s episode of A Week in Watches, we have news from Furlan Marri, Arcanaut, Baltic, Oak & Oscar, and Seiko.

Oak & Oscar team up with a local Illinois whiskey brand for a very cool collab. And, finally, Seiko debuts some new, and very nice, mechanical chronographs.This episode was sponsored by Artem and their new HydroFlex watch strap.

Time on Screen: The Killer
bonusThis week on Time on Screen, Zach is joined by Charith Karunaratne, a watch collector, movie lover, and friend of the show to talk about The Killer, the latest film from David Fincher. Zach and Charith are both huge Fincher fans, and have been circling a Fincher related podcast for a long time, so the debut of a new entry in his filmography seemed like a great excuse to finally get on the mic. Not only is this a deep dive into The Killer, but Charith and Zach take some time to talk about their love of Letterboxd, and then in the back half of the pod they rank their top five Fincher films. This is a great conversation about a movie and a filmmaker that are incredibly rewarding to talk about.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.

Time On Track: Episode 23 – Abu Dhabi [Live Report]
bonusThe 2023 Formula 1 season drew to a close this weekend with the final race once again taking place in Abu Dhabi in the UAE. The drivers and constructors championships were long since decided, but many of the remaining positions for both teams and drivers came down to the final laps, delivering the last bits of drama of the season in some unexpected ways. Our own Blake Buettner was at the race, coming out of Dubai Watch Week the week prior, so this is a special episode recounting the experience, the race, and the season as a whole. The race in Abu Dhabi capped the most dominant season of the sport ever witnessed, with Max Verstappen claiming his 19th victory of the 22 race season, and his 3rd consecutive driver’s championship in the process. Red Bull as a team won all but a single race this season, and did so with what appeared to be relative ease. As decisive as the season was, there was still plenty of racing to enjoy behind the Red Bulls, and plenty to look forward to in 2024.

Time On Track: Episode 22 - Las Vegas
bonusWhat was billed as the biggest racing spectacle of the season took place in Las Vegas this past weekend, and after a rocky start, the race itself actually delivered on its promise. Tight racing throughout saw multiple lead changes and no shortage of great passes among the field. We saw some triumphant comebacks and late charges from the back of the pack, along with plenty of contact along the way. That said, the end result felt inevitable from the get go, but this one was far from certain for much of the race.
Ep 323The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 323: Dubai Watch Week with Mark Kauzlarich
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake is recording straight from Dubai, where he’s been taking in the sights, sounds, and watches of Dubai Watch Week.

Time On Screen: Tár
bonusOn this episode of Time on Screen, Zach welcomes Worn & Wound contributor Brett Braley to the podcast to talk about Todd Field’s Tár, starring Cate Blanchett as Lydia Tár, one of the most memorable movie characters in years. Tár became an object of fascination for many movie lovers a year ago when it hit theaters. In a period of time dominated by mass market, IP derived entertainment, Tár stands out as a film filled with ideas, with an all-time great performance from Blanchett at the center of it. Brett has a background in menswear and other pockets of the luxury world, making him the perfect guest to discuss the many aesthetic pleasures of Tár, from Lydia’s costuming to the immaculate set and production design.
Ep 322The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 322: Why Titanium Is The Best feat. Carryology's Taylor Welden
This week on the podcast, Blake and the team welcome Taylor Welden, Creative Director at Carryology, to the show. Carryology is a leading online resource for all things carry, from bags, to wallets, to luggage, they cover it all. The world of bags is a watch-like rabbit hole, and we always knew there was a lot of overlap between these two enthusiast communities, and chatting with Taylor makes it clear why. This conversation goes deep into Taylor’s love of titanium, how the small details matter in bag design, and why the Bic lighter is one of the most well designed objects of all time. Taylor also talks about the challenges and rewards of working on bag collaborations with small brands, another area with deep similarities to the watch world.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.
