Ep 302The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 302: How Do We Feel About Vintage Inspired Designs in 2023?

This week on the podcast, Blake welcomes Ricardo Sime and Blake Malin to show to talk about a variety of topics in a freewheeling conversation, including our tendency to flip Tudors for other Tudors, what’s keeping Blake (Buettner) from picking up a Grand Seiko, and importance of a great bracelet on watches at a higher price point. There’s also an extended conversation on all things Seamaster, which took place almost a week before the big news from Omega that dropped recently. Did we conjure these new releases into existence? It’s definitely possible. The main topic this week is the concept of heritage inspired watches. It’s been over ten years since Tudor’s Black Bay helped usher in the era of vintage inspired everything, and we’re taking the temperature of the current state of heritage grounded designs, and how they contrast with more adventurous modern designs employed by some brands. How do you feel about vintage inspired watches in 2023? Has fatigue set it, or are you ready for more? Let us know in the comments.This episode is brought to you by the Chicago Windup Watch Fair. Windup Watch Fair is a three-day-long shopping experience that brings watch brands and customers together in a fun, approachable, and engaging environment. Always free and open to the public, Windup Watch Fair encourages everyone from seasoned collectors to first-time watch buyers to come in, take a look, shop, and talk about watches.Over 40 watch, apparel, and gear brands will participate this year, including our lead sponsors, Citizen, Fortis, G-SHOCK, Oris, and Zodiac. There will even be live panels, podcasts, presentations, and a cash bar. Experience Enthusiasm™ in person at the Chicago Windup Watch Fair, at Venue West -221 N.

Time on Track Ep 9: Round 9 - Canada

bonus

The summer season is in full swing with round 9 of the 2023 Formula 1 season at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in the Canadian GP. Ricardo and Blake return to discuss the race, which saw most of its excitement take place in a very wet qualifying session. Despite the tire drama of qualifying, the starting order wasn't too far out of the norm, especially after a penalty knocked Hass' Kevin Magnussen off the front row. There was plenty more to discuss after this race, from a rebounding Aston Martin team, a Mercedes team that is finally understanding its car, and a worrying trend continuing for Sergio Perez. We talk about all this and more in the full episode below.

Ep 301The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 301: New Releases from Tissot and Longines, and a Report from the Premiere of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

This week on the podcast, Zach is calling in from Los Angeles, where he was lucky enough to attend the premiere of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny with Hamilton, who have a watch in the film, and he chats with Blake about his experience at the big premier, and why this movie might be particularly interesting to watch enthusiasts. Then they move on to some notable new releases, including a smaller Tissot PRX, and a great new Longines Spirit Zulu Time GMT with a new 39mm case. And don’t miss the end of the episode, where Zach shares his controversial thoughts on a certain West Coast burger chain.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 300The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 300: Video Games, The Exotic Dialed Daytona, & A Sketchy Speedmaster

This week on the podcast, Blake, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are discussing some of the big watch news to come across their desks in the last week. Yes, this is what they do on the podcast almost every week, but this week the news was truly big, with the surprise launch of a new Rolex Daytona, and word of a true blue auction scandal hitting the watch world, thanks to a record breaking but questionable Speedmaster that was sold for over $3 million recently. We also got some great new releases from Seiko, including a throwback to a vintage favorite and a cult hit reborn for a new generation.

A Week In Watches Ep 53: Forged Carbon Regatta Timing With Tissot & More

bonus

With our first year behind us (thanks for all the well wishes!), we’re back with episode 53 of A Week In Watches with new releases from Tissot, Breguet, Seiko & more. One of our favorite watches of the summer (thus far) has come from Tissot, and it’s a forged carbon regatta timer called the Sideral. Yes, it’s a callback to something they’ve done in the past, and yes, it’s still awesome. With a carbon case and Powermatic 80 movement, this is a ton of watch (and funk) for about $1,100, see more here. Elsewhere, Breguet gives us a first look at new Type 20 and Type XX watches, with a stunning new movement and a date window that may leave you scratching your head. Head to the video on YouTube to give us your take on the date, as well as the rest of the watches in this week’s episode.Rounding things out, we’ve got news of a new Pontos S Diver from Maurice Lacroix, which is a welcome site from the brand, though we wonder if it could have done with a slight bit of modernization? Speaking of, Seiko has modernized their King Seiko with a trimmer case architecture and a new movement which brings a date to the regular production modern King Seiko. Finally, IWC has brought the silver dial back to the Mark Pilot watch and it works about as well as you’d expect, which is to say, pretty damn well.This week’s episode was brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop.

Time On Screen: Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood

bonus

On this episode of Time on Screen, Zach is joined by Asher Rapkin, co-founder of Collective Horology. We return to the small screen this week to focus on what might just be as close as we’ll ever come to a consensus pick for the greatest television show of them all, The Sopranos. Zach and Asher reminisce about catching the series as it aired (they’re both kind of old) and acquiring those iconic DVD box sets, another collecting rabbit hole altogether. Then they dive into “Mr. Ruggerio’s Neighborhood,” the season 3 premiere that originally aired in the spring of 2001, setting the table for what some fans argue is the best single season of the show. This episode, which tracks an FBI team as they attempt to plant a listening device in the Soprano home (the “sausage factory”), is uniquely obsessed with time, and has what is easily one of the show’s great watch spots on Agent Harris. His Timex (with an Indiglo dial) is sneakily great character work, drawing a clear line between Tony and life of ill gotten gains, and the more humble means of the government employee just doing his job in trying to take him down.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 299The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 299: Strap Monsters, Time Eaters, and WatchRecon Alerts

This week on the podcast, Blake, Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and Kat Shoulders are all in the studio. Maybe it’s the whole “recording in person” thing, but this one has a bit of everything, including a lengthy wrist check that dives into numerous tangents, from potential alternative terms for “strap monster” (and why we don’t refer to pants as “belt monsters”), weird watch tools we don’t know how to use, and how to solve the problem of too much text on a dial. Other topics in this totally normal episode of the podcast include our favorite Corvettes, toad straps, and watches that say Turbo on the dial. The main topic, such as it is, is a dive into our WatchRecon alerts, inspired by Zach Kazan’s recent editorial on the strange connection to old watch searches.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 Ep 7: Round 7 - Monaco

bonus

We're back after an unscheduled break that saw the cancellation of Round 6 of the F1 season, which was due to take place at Imola, due to heavy flooding in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy. Side note, you can learn more and even help those effected by visiting this web page outlining organizations set up to provide support. These events will mean the shortening of the F1 season from 23 races, to 22 races, though this past race in Monaco remains round 7 on the calendar. Monaco is of course the most glamorous date on the schedule, running through the streets of the Monte Carlo canton of the principality for the 80th time this year.

A Week In Watches Ep 51: TAG Heuer Opens Up The Monaco & US Made Watches From J.N. Shapiro

bonus

In episode 51 of A Week In Watches we take a look at a trio of new Monaco watches from TAG Heuer leading into the race weekend in, well, Monaco, as well as a watch that’s taken shape almost entirely in the US of A from the workshop of J.N. Shapiro. Those two watches might be on opposite ends of the spectrum, but there’s plenty more to discuss in the middle, from a new Mathey Tissot x Massena LAB, Breitling Classic AVI watches (including one sweet re-edition), and news from Audemars Piguet, who’ve announced a new CEO to take the helm of the brand beginning next year. Plus, one spicy comment from last week’s episode.Be sure to catch next week’s episode, which marks one full year of A Week In Watches in, naturally, episode 52.

Time On Screen: Ex Machina

bonus

Time on Screen is back this week, and Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are talking about a movie that doesn’t really have anything directly to do with watches, but has us thinking about some things pertaining to the industry. Ex Machina is Alex Garland’s 2014 directorial debut, and it’s a sci-fi story that explores the concept of artificial intelligence in an uncommonly thoughtful (and perhaps prescient) way. Artificial intelligence has worked its way into the public discourse in a major way over the last year, and it seems like each week there’s a new example of an advanced A.I. that can make us laugh, trick us, amaze us, or maybe even take our jobs someday. In this episode, we talk about why Ex Machina holds up so well nearly ten years after its release, and how artificial intelligence might be used someday in the watch industry. And, because there aren’t really any watches in Ex Machina, we take this opportunity to do some watch casting, deciding what watches work best on our main characters.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.

We’re also taking some questions from readers submitted through Worn & Wound+, our new (and completely free) Slack community.

This week on the podcast, Blake sits down with Phil Toledano, an artist, photographer, and watch collector who you might know from his @misterenthusiast Instagram handle, and his Viva Bastardo line of clothing and accessories. Phil has, by his own admission, taste that is somewhat peculiar, and a look through his IG feed reveals watches of shapes, sizes, and colors that even seasoned collectors might not be familiar with. This is a fun and wide ranging conversation that covers everything from the strangeness of 1970s Patek, the use of artificial intelligence in Phil’s latest work, and a short tease of an upcoming watch project that Phil is launching later this year. There’s also a whole lot of car talk (Phil is a major car enthusiast) and a pretty deep exploration of how sentimentality works its way into our hobby, and our collections.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 295The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 295: Christopher Ward’s The Twelve, the Met Gala, and More

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are back from a successful Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco, and the conversation turns to one of the show’s biggest new releases, The Twelve from Christopher Ward. Their integrated bracelet sports watch was an immediate sensation at Windup and on Instagram, where memes immediately drew comparisons to other notable (and much more expensive) watches in this same style. But there’s something undeniable about the quality and value proposition of The Twelve, and it impressed even the integrated bracelet sports watch skeptics on mic for this episode. A bit later, we took a question from a Worn & Wound+ user about, of all things the Met Gala, and what watches we might wear on the red carpet. While definitely a bit out of our depth, this was a really fun question to answer, and an interesting thought experiment.

bonus

Welcome to Episode 5 of Time On Track, where Ricardo and Blake discuss round 4 of the 2023 Formula 1 season: the Azerbaijan GP through the streets of Baku. The race itself may have seemed rather uneventful, but there was plenty to discuss around the whole race weekend, including a frantic sprint race, and some fireworks in qualifying. We talk about what makes Sergio Perez such great performer around street tracks (he is now the only 2-time winner at Baku), what we noticed in the mid field, and lament another early safety car that locked the strategy in place across the board.

Ep 294The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 294: LIVE from the Windup Watch Fair with Stephen Pulvirent

This week, the Worn & Wound podcast is coming to you live from our stage at the Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco. We were so happy to have Stephen Pulvirent join us for this recording in front of an audience on day 2 of the fair. Stephen probably doesn’t need much of an introduction to most of our podcast listeners – he’s a veteran of the industry, and the former Manager of Editorial Operations at Hodinkee (he also hosted Hodinkee Radio). He joined Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan for a discussion focusing on a topic that we find ourselves returning to frequently, how to navigate the the watch world as it continues to be dominated by hype, and the challenges of figuring out and refining your taste in an environment where we’re constantly being “influenced.” As you can probably imagine, everyone had a lot to say on this topic, and it was a really fun conversation.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 292The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 292: Catching up on New Releases, Including a Complicated Timex We Can’t Quite Figure Out, and a Beach Inspired Limited Edition from Czapek and Collective

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach are chatting about a range of topics. First up: the unique appeal of the Formex Essence, a watch that Blake just reviewed (in the lightweight Leggera line). Zach also just picked up a 39mm Essence, and there are a lot of fun features in these watches that add a ton of value to the entire package. They discuss a few new releases that caught the community’s attention, including the new Group B Rallysport Chronograph from Autodromo, and a peculiar GMT from Timex, which claims to track three time zones, but Blake seems to think might track up to five(!) simultaneously. It’s a somewhat confounding release that we’re excited to get a hold of ourselves, if only to figure out with certainty how it actually works. There’s also a stunning new release from Czapek and Collective, with a gorgeous beach inspired dial.This episode is brought to you by the San Francisco Windup Watch Fair.

Time On Screen: Succession

bonus

Usually on Time on Screen, we look at notable movies from the past, but this week we’re switching things up a bit, and talking about what is unquestionably the most discussed show on television at the moment. Succession has just started its fourth and final season, and it’s a Worn & Wound favorite. When Zach and Ed Jelley decided to tackle the first three episodes of the season, they had no idea that episode three, “Connor’s Wedding,” would prove to be what we’d have to describe as the most consequential episode of the series to date. The outline for this discussion was promptly thrown out the window as a result, but we still make room for some watch talk, as this is an all-time great watch spotting hour, week after week. Needless to say, big spoilers abound in this episode, so don’t hit play if you’re not caught up. It’s also impossible to talk about Succession without using certain words we normally try to avoid on these podcasts, so this isn’t one to play with young children around, unless maybe they’re part of the Roy extended family.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 Ep 4: Round 3: Australia

bonus

Welcome to the 4th episode of Time On Track, covering round 3 of the 2023 Formula 1 season: the Australian GP at Albert Park. This round offered plenty of drama for Blake and Ricardo to dig into, from red flags galore, to a champion studded final podium. Lewis Hamilton matched his best result of last year, but it still wasn’t enough to reel in the Max Verstappen in the RB19. A strong showing from Alpine ended in the carnage of a red flag restart, and McLaren slipped through to find their first points of the season.The first red flag session locked all the teams into a similar tire strategy for the remainder of the race, meaning we were left with some conservative racing for tire management, but there was still plenty to glean from the results prior to the final red flags. Just how fast are those Alpine cars? How strong is a healthy Lance Stroll? And what do we make of Ferrari, even prior to the crash? We jump into all this and more in episode 4.We’ll be back the first week of May discuss round 4 of the season, set to take place in Baku at the Azerbaijan GP on April 30th. This street track has the longest straight of the season, which should favor the rocket ship Red Bulls even more than usual, but as we’ve seen, anything can happen in the lead up.Let us know what storylines you’re paying attention to this year, and what teams you’re paying attention to the most.

Welcome to episode 3 of Time On Track, covering round 2 of the Formula 1 season which took place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia this past weekend. In this episode, Ricardo and Blake return to discuss the ever evolving mid and backfield teams still hoping to make an impression, a pair of struggling Ferrari cars, a nearly broken Lando Norris, and much more. The race itself didn’t have much drama on its face, but some interesting storylines emerged, as well as confirmation that those Astons are indeed fast race cars. Additionally, we ponder if the Mercs are really that bad, and what kind of competition we might see emerge between the front running Red Bull drivers, Sergio Perez, and Max Verstappen.We’ll be back for coverage of round 3 of the season the first week of April, which is taking place at Albert Park in Australia on April 2nd. This is a shorter track which was just repaved last year, and now boasts a 4th DRS zone which is sure to bring a bit more spice to the race this year. Last year, the race saw DNFs by Verstappen and Sainz, leaving a clear victory for Leclerc, ahead of Perez and Russell. How will the Astons factor into this year’s race? Will they both finish? Join us after the race to discuss all this and more.Let us know what storylines you’re paying attention to this year, and what teams you’re paying attention to the most.

While there’s a clear favorite for the top prize, the acting and directing races are extremely competitive this year, and in this episode we’ll do our best to parse out the state of the race as it comes to a dramatic close. Plus, we offer our suggestions for who we think should win in each category, including films and performances that inexplicably were not even nominated. Be sure to tune into the Academy Awards on Sunday night to see how the Worn & Wound team did in choosing the winners, and if you have your own predictions, be sure to drop them in the comments.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: Edge Of Tomorrow

bonus

This week on Time on Screen, the team is stuck in a time loop, forced to podcast over and over again until they defeat the alien invaders and save the planet. Or something like that. On this episode, Zach is joined by Worn & Wound co-founder Zach Weiss and Media Production Manager Kat Shoulders to discuss Edge of Tomorrow, the 2014 Doug Liman directed Tom Cruise vehicle that sees our hero donning a mech-suit and retaking Europe from the alien hordes over the course of a brutal day that he must relive again and again. Edge of Tomorrow was considered a bit of a box office failure when it was released in 2014, but it’s aged well, and its time loop structure makes it a great candidate for a rewatch.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.

Welcome to Time on Track, a Worn & Wound podcast that will focus on the upcoming season of Formula 1 racing. As we head into week 1 of the 2023 season in Bahrain, we’re giving some of our editors an outlet to discuss their enthusiasm for F1, the culture and drama that unfolds each race on the track, and of course, some of the watches that inevitably find their way into the proceedings each year. We are casual enthusiasts, so we won’t be getting into the highly technical weeds or dissecting the strategy hits and misses each week, but we will offer our thoughts and banter on each of the races the following week, as well as a preview of the upcoming race.
