Ep 285The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 285: Watch Collecting in the Quantum Realm, Plus New Releases from Sinn and H. Moser
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are on mic to talk about a topic broached in a recent editorial: watch collecting in the quantum realm. Inspired by his recent viewing of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Zach Kazan began thinking about the many different decisions he’s made in his watch collecting life, and how they’ve led inexorably to where he is now. But what if different choices had been made along the way? Are there multiple versions of all of us in some alternate universe with wildly different watch collections? The laws of physics say: maybe. In this conversation, the team reflects on the key watch decisions they’ve made throughout the years that set them on their current path, and speculates as to where they might have been otherwise. Plus, we check in some big new releases from Sinn and H. Moser as the new release season kicks into full swing ahead of Watches & Wonders.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 284The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 284: Edouard Meylan of H. Moser & Cie
This week on the podcast, Blake and Zach are joined by Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie, a brand that has captured our attention of late like few others. Moser has developed a reputation in the realm of independent watch brands as something of a disruptive force. They made a watch out of cheese, after all. But their bold moves over the last decade, which include a foray into the metaverse, all serve to draw attention to the Swiss watch industry itself, and to push it forward in ways other brands might not. In this conversation, Ed gets into why those values are important to Moser as a brand, and we also dive deep into Vantablack, Moser’s philosophy when it comes to brand collaborations, and that incredible Streamliner bracelet.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 Podcast: Predator
bonusTime on Screen is back this week, and for this episode Zach Kazan welcomes Ed Jelley to the show to talk about Predator, a film that basically personifies “80s Action Movie” about as perfectly as one can imagine. The Arnold Schwarzennger vs. alien romp in an unnamed South American jungle is full of iconic moments, including a stream of classic one-liners that is only limited by characters rapidly being knocked off by the aforementioned alien. This movie is a lot of fun, a personal favorite of Ed’s, and it also happens to be a very important watch spotting movie, featuring as it does an ana-digi Seiko that would come to be inextricably linked with Schwarzenegger himself.Ed also spotted another ana-digi watch worn by another character in the film, which begs the question: why is the ana-digi format so perfect for hunting an alien in the jungle? Ed and Zach have some theories.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 283The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 283: Palate Cleansers, Perpetual Calendars, and Paul Rudd’s Grand Seiko
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner is joined by Zach Weiss for a good old fashioned watch chat focused on recent releases, what we’re wearing and enjoying now, and all the diversions you’d come to expect. That includes a discussion on the etiquette of a lowball offer on eBay, the notion of a watch as a palate cleanser, and the inherent role of sentimentality in watch collecting. Blake and Zach also dive into a new batch of King Seikos (and a mysterious new Seiko caliber), an even bigger batch of new releases from Audemars Piguet, the practicality of perpetual calendars, and ponder the question of whether or not Paul Rudd is a watch guy.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 34: A New Balance from Omega, Dune Watches from Christopher Ward, and a Gold Metric from Brew
bonusWelcome to episode 34 of A Week in Watches, where we’ve got managing editor Blake Buettner jumping back in to discuss a handful of new releases, and one important survey. We’re kicking things off with the biggest news of the week that’s focused on something very small from Omega, and that is their new Spirate Balance, which we introduce on the site right here, and react to in real time right here. We still not sure how it’s pronounced but the technology is impressive! The watch its packed in also makes quite the statement, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this one.That Omega wasn’t the only big news this week, though. Brew dropped a stunning gold Metric on us that works way better than it has any business doing. Is this the watch that gets us into gold? Likely. Next up are a couple releases from the UK, with the 36mm Three Hander collection of watches from Farer, and new C65 Dune watches from Christopher Ward. Lots of unique personality to find in these watches, from big colorful dials, to svelte shapely cases. Finally, we’ve got a watch and wrist size survey from Mark Cho of NYC’s The Armoury.

Time on Screen: Arrival
bonusThis week on the Time on Screen, Zach is joined by Kat Shoulders to talk about Arrival, Denis Villeneuve’s 2016 first contact tale starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. Arrival is the kind of movie that Time on Screen was made for: deeply interested in time itself as a theme, with a narrative structure that contorts and reconstructs our sense of time throughout. If you’ve seen the film, this is a really fun discussion that fully dives into the complex implications and questions that Arrival brings to the surface. And if you haven’t seen it? Well, you’ll want to do that before hitting play on this one, because it’s impossible to discuss without spoiling.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 Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
bonusBreak out your red caps and speedos, this week Time on Screen is tackling The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Wes Anderson’s follow up to The Royal Tenenbaums was a box office flop and a definite miss with critics when it was released in 2004, but over the years the film’s reputation has improved, and it is now considered one of Anderson’s most emotionally complex and ambitious projects. Featuring great performances from Bill Murray and a stellar supporting cast that includes Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, and others, The Life Aquatic is particularly rewarding on a rewatch, as there are endless sight gags, easter eggs, and new ways to view the arc of the Zissou character. Today’s episode features Zach Kazan and his guest Kyle Snarr, making his return to the Time on Screen podcast to talk about not only his favorite Wes Anderson movie, but his favorite movie, period. Not only is The Life Aquatic a fantastic example of Anderson’s visual style and the themes he’d go on to explore in similar depth with later films, but it has some great watch spotting, including a fun and affordable diver that Kyle is sporting on this very recording.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 one of our favorite episodes of the year: our predictions and hopes for the year ahead. The early days of January are a great time – everyone is still in great spirits from the recent holiday season, and we’re all full of hope for what will surely be an exciting year of new releases, watchmaking innovations, and exciting developments across the horological landscape. The editorial team has thoughts on what we might see in the realm of “micro indies,” new executions of much loved complications, and, of course, completely incorrect predictions on what Tudor will do. We’re also talking about watch resolutions. Is that even a thing? Do you have any?

A Week In Watches Ep 29: Q&A but First Some Seiko!
bonusThis week’s episode of A Week in Watches will be slightly different. Actually, the next few weeks will be as news is slow this time of year. So, this week is a Q&A! We took three questions that were submitted by readers/viewers/listeners via our instagram account. But, we couldn’t skip the news entirely as Seiko wanted to get a headstart on next year and dropped some sweet limited editions.This week’s episode was brought to you by WatchCrunch.com.

Time On Screen: Home Alone
bonusIn this installment of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan is joined by Blake Buettner and Kat Shoulders for a special holiday episode. That’s right, it’s Home Alone week, and we’re running through what is undeniably one of the best Christmas movies of our generation, detailing the saga of a child abandoned by his family, and left to fend for himself against a pair of violent criminals. Home Alone is hilarious and has become a holiday staple, but it’s also deeply strange if you stop to think about it for even a moment. Why, for instance, does Kevin’s mom wear what is by her own admission a fake Rolex when she is clearly the matriarch of the most powerful mob family in all of Chicago? These are the questions we want answered as we dive into the details and fan theories of a truly enduring holiday classic.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, we’ve got Blake, Thomas, Patrick and Zach on mic for a loose conversation about an impressive Urwerk that recently sold at auction, a new Moser design built for the metaverse, and, of course, the new Avatar film. Patrick also fills us in on his favorite new purchase of the year (besides his PS5, anyway), as does the rest of the group. Plus, we ask the eternal question: can a QR code be aesthetically pleasing?

A Week In Watches Ep 28: QR Code & Urushi Lacquer Dials
bonusThis week we’re looking at some shocking news from the Metaverse and H. Moser, and their latest Endeavour Centre Seconds called the Genesis. It’s part QR code, part haute horology, and entirely meta. We’ve also got news from Kurono about a new boutique in Tokyo, and three new watches to celebrate. Each features beautiful handmade urushi lacquer dials. Finally, we’ll take a brief look at some auction results that raised money for the Swiss Institute, and inspired some pretty spectacular one-off pieces.This week’s episode is sponsored by Whatnot, a live stream auction app where you can buy and sell unique items.

Ep 274The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 274: Watch Buying Advice from the Worn & Wound Team, and the Watches that Lingered in 2022
This week on the podcast, Blake is joined by Patrick, Thomas, and Zach, who will try to explain How to Buy a Watch, hot on the heels of our recent foray into providing some basic advice for newbies and veterans alike. Before that, a discussion about a new release from Alpina that revives a particular type of mechanical movement that’s rarely seen in modern watchmaking (spoiler alert: there are no mechanical engineers on this week’s episode). The team is also in a reflective mood, talking through some of the watches that have been lingering in their minds this year. Let us know if you have any of your own watch buying advice, and if there are any watches that are lingering in your mind as 2022 comes to a close.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 27: Starwheel Waiting in the Sky
bonusOn this week’s episode of A Week in Watches we have a trio of great releases and then I give you My 2 Cents on something that has always bugged me. The first release is actually a finale, the last of the Timex Giorgio Galli S1 watches. Afterward, we peek at the new and lovely Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Starwheel, followed by a couple of Alpinas with anachronistic movements. Lastly, I bemoan pesky pusher protectors – screw-down pushers. This week’s episode is sponsored by Bell & Ross and their new BR-X5. The new BR-X5 marks a bold new move for the brand, combining the urban sophistication of the integrated bracelet BR-05 design with a new sense of technical and architectural detailing. Inside, the new BR Cal 323 keeps time with chronometer accuracy and a 70-hour power reserve. To learn more about the BR-X5, click here.

Time on Screen Podcast: Ocean’s Eleven
bonusThis week, Time on Screen is putting a crew together to take down the ultimate prize: a deep dive into Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven. Zach Kazan is joined by Thomas Calara and Kyle Snarr to talk about one of the most quotable, rewatchable, and star studded movies made in our lifetime. There’s also ample discussion of Soderbergh’s sequel, Ocean’s Twelve (but less about Thirteen and Ocean’s 8, maybe next time), and of course a heavy dose of watch spotting. Remember: there’s money in those Incan matrimonial head masks, but only if you can move them.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 273The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 273: Breaking New Design Ground, and a CPO Concept Comes to Rolex
This week on the podcast, Blake, Patrick, and Thomas are chatting about some of the biggest news to hit the watch industry in quite some time, as Rolex has announced a new CPO program to see gently used watches through their authorized dealer networks. But before that, the team jumps into a recent release from Audemars Piguet that’s notably not a Royal Oak, and grapples with the very idea of evolving heritage watch designs as opposed to breaking new ground. Have we been robbed of original designs over the last generation of watchmaking? We examine that idea by framing it using one of the most popular watches of the last ten years: Tudor’s Black Bay.This week’s episode is brought to you by IWC Schaffhausen, and the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Bronze.

bonusThis week’s episode welcomes managing editor Blake Buettner to the hot seat to discuss some breaking news from Rolex, a (very) limited edition Christopher Ward, and a regular production Tricompax from Baltic. We also take note of a surprising release from IWC outside of their Pilot watch portfolio. Oh, and Bond turns 60! We take a look at Omega’s two-pronged response.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner, Thomas Calara, and Zach Kazan are back from a holiday break and talking about some of the recent releases that have made waves recently, including a pair of new Seamasters from Omega to celebrate a big Bond anniversary, and an IWC perpetual calendar that took us by surprise.

A Week In Watches Ep 25: The Return of the Murph
bonusThis episode of a Week in Watches covers a lot of ground. First Hamilton shrinks the Murph, and then Atelier Wen alters our perceptions. Meanwhile, Oris’ new LE is proving very hot and Hanhart’s new chronographs pack a mechanical punch. All in all, some excellent releases.This week’s episode was brought to you by WatchCrunch.com.

Time on Screen: Speed
bonusPop quiz, hotshot: what’s the 90s classic that gets mentioned on the Worn & Wound podcast more than we can possibly keep track of? It’s Speed, of course, and in this new episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan and Blake Buettner discuss the 90s action movie that isn’t just one of the best films of its kind from that decade, but an all time great watch spotting movie as well. If you’re a regular podcast listener, you already know that it’s hard for any member of the team to talk about the classic G-SHOCK DW5600 without making a reference to its big closeup on the wrist Keanu Reeves in the 1994 film, so Speed was a natural choice as one of the first episodes of Time on Screen. In this wide ranging conversation, Zach and Blake discuss their favorite scenes, the improbable physics that keep that bus on the road, and Speed’s place in the pantheon of 90s action flicks.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 271The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 271: The Strange Appeal of the Meteorite Dial
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’ve got Blake Buettner, Patrick Marlett, Thomas Calara, and Zach Weiss talking about a wide range of topics. First and foremost, Patrick hasn’t seen The Big Lebowski, and the entire team needs to take a minute to adjust to this distressing new information. Watches are eventually discussed as well, including a new and very difficult to acquire Porsche Design chronograph, and the latest release from Massena LAB, a historically accurate tribute to the Mathey-Tissot Type XX. Then the conversation turns to a recent influx in watches with meteorite dials, and the team wonders aloud what other interesting materials enterprising brands might decide to make watch dials out of.

A Week in Watches Ep 24: GPHG Awards, Japanese Chronos, and More
bonusOn this episode of a Week in Watches we cover a lot of territory. We start in Geneva with the GPHG, taking a look at a handful of this year’s winners, and then head to the UK to go offroad with Bamford and Land Rover.

Ep 270The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 270: The GPHG Awards
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Kazan, and Patrick Marlett discuss watches, gaming, a very fancy tourbillon with a Vantablack dial, and, of course, proper grammar. But the main topic for this episode is the GPHG awards, and the very idea of awarding watches at all. Should we really be pitting watches against each other? Is there a better way to recognize watchmaking greatness that we haven’t quite stumbled upon yet? It’s a surprisingly thorny topic and we dive right in on this episode. Did you follow the GPHG awards? Do they matter to you at all?

Windup Watch Fair Panel: For The Love Of Gear (And Watches)
bonusShould watches exist in their own space, or are they in fact just a small part of the broader world of gear? This panel, moderated by Worn & Wound’s Kyle Snarr, digs into the crossovers between watches and everyday carry products. Panelists include: Ryan Coulter of the James Brand; Jon Gaffney of Tornek Rayville; and Kat Shoulders of Worn & Wound.
Windup Watch Fair Panel: Redbar Live!
bonusDoing the wrist check. Telling the story of your latest find. This panel, moderated by RedBar CEO Kathleen McGivney, explores how the love of watches brings people together, and what the future of staying connected—online or in-person—holds. From RedBar to WindUp, the watch community around the globe is formed from all walks of life, and there are a myriad of ways we explore this passion. Whether we’re creating content or memes, sharing wrist shots, or telling stories, there’s one thing we can all agree on: collecting watches is all about connecting people. Panelists include: Blake Malin, co-founder and CEO of Worn & Wound; Sneh Diwan of Diwan By Design; Ben Grullon of Wrist Check Podcast; and Lee Candela (aka @brodinkee) of Wrist Cheese Podcast.

Time on Screen: Contact
bonusOn the latest episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are diving deep into a wormhole on a journey to the heart of the universe. Contact, Robert Zemeckis’s 1997 follow up to Forrest Gump, is on tap this week. It’s a personal favorite among several Worn & Wound team members, and has an inherently time centered plot device (and some surprising connections to watch enthusiasm in general) that are worth discussing. Mostly, though, Contact is a lasting tribute to the ideas of the late Carl Sagan, who is the focus of much of the conversation in this episode. The film follows astronomer Eleanor Arroway, played by Jodie Foster, as she – and the rest of the world – grapple with the discovery of a lifetime: a radio signal from a distant star system, an unmistakable sign of intelligent life. These hypothetical situations were a fascination for Sagan through much of his life, and the film approaches it from a grounded and scientifically realistic perspective, uncommon for a summer blockbuster from a big studio.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 267The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 267: Bracelet Sizing, Humidity, and the Eternal Question of How Many Watches to Pack When Traveling
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake, Zach, Patrick, and Kat bring you a podcasting first: a live on air bracelet sizing. How did it go? You’ll have to listen to the whole episode to find out, but let’s just say Patrick’s recent acquisition (the unboxing was recorded, another first for the Worn & Wound podcast) inspired a long digression about bracelets, how to size them, and the horror stories that go along with this particularly thankless task. Other topics on this particularly loose episode recorded on the eve of the Windup Watch Fair in New York City include a watch’s ability to resist humidity in the air, and the pros and cons of traveling with more than one watch, a topic we seem to always return to, and one that Kat Shoulders will have more to say about soon in an upcoming Out of Office column.

A Week in Watches Ep 20: Live from Windup Watch Fair NYC 2022
bonusThis week on A Week in Watches, we’re out of the studio for Windup Watch Fair NYC 2022. I apologize for publishing a bit later than usual, but we had a hectic weekend! In this episode, I take you through several watches released at this year’s Windup Watch Fair NYC from a killer new GMT from Nodus to a rugged new military diver from MKII. You’ll also get a peak inside of Windup Watch Fair NYC, which was an absolute blast. There were over 60 brands in attendance, so this only scratches the surface of what was on display.This week’s sponsor is Jack Mason. A Texas-based watch brand, their slogan is “Premium Watches for All Enthusiasts,” which is something we certainly appreciate.

Ep 266The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 266: The One Watch Draft
This week on the podcast, Kat and Zach K. are shamelessly stealing a great idea from our friends over at The Grey NATO (maybe you’ve heard of it). This is our version of the “One Watch” draft, where we choose one watch at various price points that could serve as our only watch if we were to embrace a single watch lifestyle. It’s a fun thought experiment for two people who have way, way too many watches, and a worthwhile exercise in figuring out what you truly value in the watches you choose to own. All credit to TGN for the great idea. Be sure to let us know in the comments or on Instagram what your “One Watch” picks would be. We’d love to hear your selections, and be sure to let us know if there are any other draft ideas we should try out in the future. Today’s episode of the Worn and Wound Podcast is brought to you by the New York Windup Watch Fair. Don’t miss the chance to discover hundreds of incredible watches during the NYC Windup Watch Fair, at the Altman Building – 135 W 18th Street, from Friday, October 21st through Sunday, October 23rd.

A Week in Watches Ep 19: It’s a Me, TAG Heuer
bonusOn episode 19 of A Week in Watches we take a trip around the world without leaving the studio. We start out in Germany with Nomos, which gave me another opportunity to try to say Glashütte, then we head to France to check out Serica’s latest drop. Afterward, we head to Singapore to see BOLDR’s new GMT, and finally Switzerland with a touch of Japan, by way of the TAG Heuer x Mario Kart chronographs. Next week, we head to Windup Watch Fair NYC, so stay tuned!This week’s sponsor is William Wood Watches.
