Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re happy to be joined by Romain Marietta, Director of Product Development and Heritage at Zenith. Zenith is a favorite brand here at Worn & Wound for their fascinating history, and the way they straddle the line between paying tribute to their heritage and looking ahead. Romain has been with Zenith for 16 years, starting as an intern and working his way up under a total of five different CEOs. In this conversation, we cover Romain’s personal history with the brand, the importance of the El Primero, and why he’s so interested in continuing to tell Zenith’s story. We also talk quite a bit about what makes the Zenith Defy so special, and why it’s important for watch brands to continue to take risks as the watch market expands. This is a really fun conversation with a watch executive who is a true enthusiast. If only one thing comes through in this interview, it’s that Romain is definitely one of us. This episode of the Worn & Wound podcast is sponsored by Wyoming Whiskey, makers of small batch bourbon at their Kirby, Wyoming distillery.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we have a jam packed episode with Blake, Zach, and Kat discussing a flurry of recent releases, as well as some recent editorials that have generated quite a bit of conversation on social media. First up is a lengthy discussion on the new line of Superocean dive watches from Breitling, which are conveniently being made in just about every size except the ones we really want. Still, they are incredibly cool from a design perspective, and we’re looking forward to getting more hands on time with them soon. We also touch on a recent high concept space watch with NASA pedigree, and Kat even explains the blockchain (trust us, this will sort of make sense when you listen to the episode). We wrap up by talking about recent editorials on why it’s important to be open to watches of all sizes, and the benefits of keeping a watch hidden away from social media. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on this week’s episode in the comments below or on Instagram.Today’s episode of the Worn & Wound podcast is brought to you by Oris and the all new ProPilot X Calibre 400.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Kat are happy to be joined by Lydia Winters. Lydia wears many hats: she’s the Chief Storyteller at Mojang Studios (the folks behind the wildly popular Minecraft games), an accomplished photographer, and a serious watch enthusiast. In this episode, Lydia chats about her introduction to watches and evolution as a collector, the inherent challenges of watch photography, and why she’s so committed to taking her Instagram followers “behind the scenes” of her watch photography. There’s also plenty of talk about the overlap between gamers and watch collectors, and new ways that the gaming industry is recognizing 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.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake, Kat, and Thomas get on the mic to discuss some recent Worn & Wound content, a bunch of great new releases, and other odds and ends. From Thomas’s recent Out of Office column to Kat’s Three for $5k, plus watches from the likes of Serica, Furlan Marri, and, oh yeah, Seiko, there’s a lot to cover. And somehow there’s still time to talk about the finer points of domed crystals. This is a good one, and we want to know what you think of the new watches we discussed in this episode, so be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments below, and let us know if we missed anything that you’d like to hear us discuss in a future episode.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach and Blake are joined by Jeremy Kirkland, who you might know from the excellent Blamo! Podcast. If you don’t know Blamo!, it’s a podcast that takes a refreshingly grounded approach to menswear through interviews with notable folks in the fashion world, and seeks to tell the stories of the people who make up the fabric (sorry) of the industry. Jeremy is a wonderful podcaster (he’s also developed the podcast for Mr. Porter) so it’s no surprise that this is a great conversation full of asides about everything from St. Louis pizza to indie rock snobbery. And have no fear if you’re not a menswear enthusiast – there are many parallels between fashion and watch collecting that become evident listening to this episode.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we welcome a new member to the team: Kat Shoulders! If you listen to watch podcasts (and clearly you do) you probably already know Kat as a co-host of the wildly popular Tenn & Two podcast. In addition to being a podcaster, Kat is a dedicated watch collector and enthusiast, and a talented photographer, and we’re incredibly excited to have her on board as Worn & Wound’s new Media Production Manager. In this episode, Kat tells us about her evolution as a watch collector, the Nashville watch scene, and why G-Shocks don’t count toward the total number of watches in your collection. Since we had the whole team together in one location for this episode, we thought this would also be a great time to talk about some of the recent editorials we’ve run on the site: Blake’s ode to velcro straps, Zach W’s commentary on why we should strike “poor man’s watch” from the lexicon, and Zach K’s problem with birth year watches. It’s a fun conversation with some pretty wild takes, so if you have one of your own on any of these topics, be sure to leave it in the comments, because we’d love to see it.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, we’ve got something a little different in the Worn & Wound podcast feed. Top Gun: Maverick hit theaters a little more than a week ago, and it has quickly caused a flurry of discussion in the watch enthusiast community. As you’d expect, there are a lotof watches to be spotted throughout the film, almost to the point of distraction. From a tropical Rolex Explorer to a slightly out of place vintage IWC stopwatch, there’s a lot to take in if you’re a watch lover. It’s also an incredible example of the summer blockbuster, and it inspired Zach Kazan and our own Kyle Snarr to jump on a call and record their thoughts on the film’s watches, the need for speed, and what their call signs would be in an alternate reality where they’re Naval Aviators and not merely watch and movie nerds. Spoilers abound in the second half of this conversation, so feel free to dip out after the watch talk subsides. And be sure to let us know in the comments what you thought of Maverick if you’ve seen it. We hope you enjoy this bonus episode of the Worn & Wound podcast – regular episodes will resume right on schedule Wednesday morning, so stay tuned.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, Blake and Zach are joined by Hamza Masood. Hamza is a watch collector and enthusiast based in Seattle, and he has one of the most interesting and unique watch collections we’ve come across. The goal of his collection is to acquire the first example of every new movement technology. That means in Hamza’s watch box you’ll find the first watch to be mass produced with a Spring Drive movement, the first with a co-axial escapement, and, yes, the first quartz watch. When we met up with him at the recent Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco, we knew we had to have him on the podcast to talk about his collection. Hamza also happens to be part of the WatchCharts team, a website that collects tons of data on recent watch sales. If you’ve been following the pre-owned market recently, you know that this is a particularly interesting time to be talking to Hamza about watch valuation trends, so we spend some time discussing that as well.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, we’re talking to George Bamford, the man behind Bamford London, the Bamford Watch Department, and other exciting ventures. Depending on when you got into watches, you may think of George as a watch customizer, a maker of colorful and unexpected character watches, a master collaborator with some of the biggest watch brands in the world, or something in between. This is a fun and wide ranging conversation that covers George’s start in the watch world, what he’s currently working on, and what inspires his bold designs.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 also plenty of new release talk, including a very limited Doxa, and a (sort of) worldtimer from Rado that has a lot of vintage charm, even if it’s light on mechanical complications. Finally, Zach has some thoughts on Keeper of Time, a new documentary directed by Michael Culyba that’s definitely worth checking out if you’re a watch lover, or just have thoughts on the nature of time.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, Blake is in sunny Florida for the Miami Grand Prix, one of the most hotly anticipated events on this year’s F1 calendar. He’s joined by photographer Zach Piña, and together they dissect not only the race itself, but the entire celebrity-filled weekend (there were Tom Brady and James Marsden sightings). There’s also a new watch to talk about from IWC, celebrating their partnership with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team and featuring a shade of blue/green that is definitely not the same shade of teal that is currently omnipresent in the watch community. Be sure to check here later this week for Blake’s full recap on the Miami Grand Prix.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 the final installment of our Windup Watch Fair Discussions series, we have three great interviews with some of our favorite brand founders. The brands represented here run the gamut in terms of design and price point, and really feel like a cross section of where the micro-brand space is at this moment. Featured today we have an interview with Lewis Heath of anOrdain, a brand known for their incredible enamel dials, who debuted brand new cases at Windup this year. We’re also featuring an interview with Bill Yao, who runs both MK II and Tornek-Rayville. In this conversation, he articulates the key differences between his two brands, which should clear up any confusion among watch enthusiasts as to why there’s a need for both. Finally, we recorded an interview with Baltic’s Etienne Malec and Nivada-Grenchen’s Guillaume Laidet. It was great to have these two in a room together to talk about their brands and where each is heading in the near future. We hope you enjoyed our Windup Watch Fair Discussions podcasts over the course of the last week.

In this conversation, he articulates the key differences between his two brands, which should clear up any confusion among watch enthusiasts as to why there’s a need for both. Finally, we recorded an interview with Baltic’s Etienne Malec and Nivada-Grenchen’s Guillaume Laidet. It was great to have these two in a room together to talk about their brands and where each is heading in the near future. We hope you enjoyed our Windup Watch Fair Discussions podcasts over the course of the last week.

Earlier this week, we brought you a dispatch from the Windup Watch Fair in the form of a pair of interviews with Chase Francher of Oak & Oscar and Mike France and Jorg Bader of Christopher Ward. Today, we have two more conversations from the show, this time with Wes Kwok, co-founder of Nodus, and Raphael Granito, CEO of Formex.Nodus has become a firm presence in the enthusiast watch community over the past few years by putting a personal touch on their watches. They’re an L.A. brand through and through, and their brand really thrives on community involvement, so it was great to see them back at a Windup fair, interacting with fans both new and old. Formex presents an interesting contrast – they’re based in Switzerland and put a premium on novel case construction and manufacturing techniques, but are no less connected to the watch community, and it was similarly great to see the response to their newest watches from Windup attendees.Keep your eyes on the Worn & Wound podcast feed, because we’ll be serving up another pair of interviews next week. The final installment will include an interview with Lewis Heath of anOrdain, followed by a chat with Etienne Malec and Guillaume Laidet of Baltic and Nivada-Grenchen, respectively.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, we’re doing something a little different. All week, we’ll be bringing you a series of conversations from the recent Windup Watch Fair in the great city of San Francisco. If you were following along on the blog and social media over the last few days, you already know that we hosted a ton of great brands and thousands of guests over three days at the Terra Gallery in San Francisco, and we didn’t miss the opportunity to sit down with as many brand owners and founders as we possibly could. Naturally, we recorded those conversations for posterity, and over the next week or so will be presenting them to you in podcast form, for your listening pleasure. Today, we’ve got two interviews to kick things off. First up, we’re talking to Chase Fancher, the founder of Oak & Oscar. Then we’ve got a great conversation with Christopher Ward CEO Mike France, along with Jorg Bader, who leads the product team at the brand.Later in the week, we’ll be bringing you interviews with Lewis Heath of anOrdain, Raphael Granito of Formex, MK II’s Bill Yao, Wes Kwok of Nodus, Baltic’s Etienne Malec, and Nivada-Grenchen’s Guillaume Laidet.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, the gang’s all here to talk about our recent AMA on the r/watches sub on Reddit. Last week, the editorial team had the chance to field your questions on watches, trade shows, tacos (yes, tacos) and a whole lot more, and on today’s episode we’re tying up loose ends, returning to answer some additional questions, and getting our own Ed Jelley’s take on many of the hot-button issues that were covered. This is a truly wide ranging conversation that runs the gamut, which is quite simply a result of the fantastic questions we were asked during the AMA. Naturally, we continue the ongoing conversation on big new releases like the Tudor Black Bay Pro, but we also dive into more esoteric topics, like our feelings on celebrity ambassadors, favorite reviews from the Worn & Wound archive, and Producer Josh’s hat collection. What questions do you have for us that weren’t covered on Reddit last week? Drop them in the comments or hit us on Instagram and we’ll be sure to answer 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.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, the editorial team is back from Geneva, and we’re tying up loose ends. Remember the MoonSwatch? It seems (to us, at least) like a million years ago that the Omega x Swatch collaboration broke the internet, but really it’s just been a few weeks. In all the Watches & Wonders hysteria, we never even discussed it on mic. Well, that’s rectified in this week’s episode. Also, right in the middle of the show, Bell & Ross (not a Watches & Wonders participant) released one of our absolute favorite watches of the year, a crazy “multimeter” chronograph in black ceramic. Can you read it? Not really. But it’s great, and we just love the way it looks. We also reflect on some of the small details of Watches & Wonders that made this year’s show so special, from the scale of it all, to our favorite booths, and even some of stuff we missed that has us looking forward to next 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.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, it’s another dispatch from Geneva, this time to put a bow on Watches & Wonders 2022. It was a great show, and today’s episode of the podcast is a recap highlighting some of our favorite watches, Geneva experiences, and sandwiches. Yes, sandwiches. There were a lot of little sandwiches consumed this week. This podcast was recorded at Barton 7, one of the many smaller watch events held concurrently with Watches & Wonders. On the day of the recording, we had spent the morning with Urwerk and F.P. Journe, both great learning experiences that we get into in this episode. We also talk through some of the very cool watches we saw at Barton 7, including pieces from Singer Reimagined and Ikepod. Thanks to everyone for following along on our first trip back to Switzerland in far too long. Be sure to check in here for even more coverage of Watches & Wonders and new releases from other brands who didn’t participate in the show in the very near future.

Today on the podcast, the Worn & Wound editorial team is on the ground in Geneva, taking in the first full day of Watches & Wonders. Trade Shows are officially back, and it’s an exciting thing for the watch community. We saw a lot of watches on day one, but the highlight was probably our very first meeting of the day: Tudor. We’ve got our first impressions of our favorite watches from their new lineup, as well as our takes on some of the watches that are already among the most talked about at the show, including new releases from Rolex, Grand Seiko, and more. Stay tuned to Worn & Wound for more reporting live from Watches & Wonders for the next week, and be sure to follow along on Instagram as well for all the behind the scenes updates.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: we’re going to Switzerland! Blake and Zach welcome Patrick Marlett, Worn & Wound’s Media Producer, to the podcast for the very first time to talk about (and speculate) about what’s to come in Geneva for Watches & Wonders. Excitement is really brewing for what is, for most of us, the first major in-person Swiss trade show since the onset of the pandemic back in 2020. Will brands be pulling out all the stops for the occasion? We expect they will, and we’ve got thoughts on what we’d like to see from Rolex, Tudor, Grand Seiko, and more on this week’s episode.What are you hoping to see come out of Watches & Wonders this year? Let us know in the comments, and we’ll be on the ground in Switzerland to bring it all to you 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.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach take the mic to talk about, well, a little bit of everything. There’s a rundown of some of the biggest new releases of the last week or so, and then a deep dive into the latest drop from Omega (see the show notes for links to our coverage on those). And when we say “dive,” we mean it, because the big news was a new flagship dive watch line with a water resistance rating of a stunning 6,000 meters. That’s 20,000 feet! Almost four miles of water! Practical? That’s debatable. But it’s certainly a technological and engineering feat, and something definitely worth discussing. Then we turn to Zach’s recent opinion piece on why he likes his watches a little bit “extra,” which itself was a response to Blake’s piece on “basic” watches. What did we discover? Unsurprisingly, there’s a lot more overlap here than we thought, and room enough for everything. How does this all relate to Nirvana’s “Something in the Way” and The Batman? Tune in to find out, and let us know your thoughts on the basic vs. extra debate, your favorite Batman, or anything else you’d like us to know in the comments below.

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara are joined by Wesley Smith, founder of apparel brand Standard H. Smith has been running Standard H since 2015, and describes it as “elevated casual for the discerning car and watch lover.” In this episode, you’ll hear about the beginnings of the Standard H brand, a sneak peak at what’s in store for the future, and how the watch and automotive worlds inevitably collide. Fair warning, there’s a lot of car talk in this one, including Wesley’s modding strategy on his own GTI (and how it relates to watches), and even a little F1 preview.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking about how our tastes have changed, and the watches that we’ve warmed up to over time. You know how it goes: you see a watch, have a neutral or even negative reaction, but over time it worms its way into your brain, and you begin to actually, against all odds, kind of like it. Why does this happen? We all have an example of a watch, a brand, or a style that we’ve grown to like over time. Whether it’s a diver with a strange shape, a blinged out Rolex, or a watch that on paper you’d have sworn was too thick, sometimes a watch is a slow burn, taking months or even years to reveal itself in the right light. We want to know all about the watches that you’ve grown to like over time, so leave a note in the comments or on Instagram to tell us what watches you’ve warmed up to.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Max of Watch Crunch, a new and exciting social platform for watch lovers. Watch Crunch was launched only about three months ago, but it’s been in the works for much longer, and has made quite a splash in a relatively short period of time (it grew out of what was already a pretty successful YouTube channel). The idea is simple: provide a platform for watch lovers to connect over their shared interests in a new way. Sounds like a forum, you might say. But this one was created from the ground up with watch enthusiasts in mind, making it easy to share photos, reviews, ask questions, and more, all with a personalized feed tailored to your interests. Max has a lot planned for Watch Crunch going forward, and he talks about some of that, as well as how this all came about, in this conversation with Blake Buettner.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, Worn & Wound is happy to present a special podcast in partnership with Grand Seiko. We recently had Grand Seiko’s Joe Kirk in the office to talk about the brand, and answer some of your questions about recent Grand Seiko releases and what’s in store for the future with Worn & Wound’s Zach Weiss. Grand Seiko has been on a hot streak lately, releasing a lineup of new watches with their next generation Spring Drive and Hi-Beat movements, so there’s a lot to talk about. In addition to new watches, Zach and Joe get into what transpired at the recent GS9 Club event in New York City, the intricacies of Grand Seiko movement finishing, and a whole lot more.As Grand Seiko’s Brand Curator, there’s no better person to talk to about the brand, and we think new and old Grand Seiko fans will really enjoy this one.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, the editorial team sits down to dive deep into a handful of fairly interesting new releases that have dropped recently. New options from Grand Seiko, Sinn, and Zenith (some of our favorite brands) caught our attention, and in this episode Zach Weiss, Blake Buettner, Zach Kazan, and Thomas Calara talk through what we like and don’t like about each of them. Then, using Zach Kazan’s recent piece as a jumping off point, we examine the connections between the Beanie Baby bubble of the 1990s and the current state of the watch market. There are some striking similarities, to be sure, including their limited nature and the stratospheric rise in value. We all know what happened with the Beanie Baby market eventually, and it’s worth examining if something similar could happen in watches.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, Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara welcome Hodinkee’s Danny Milton to the show. Danny joined the team at Hodinkee in 2020 (literally the week NYC shut down thanks to the pandemic) and has quickly established himself on the site with his unique, down to earth voice, writing about everything from the watches of Space Jam, to his own relationship with two-tone Rolex, to even more watches of Space Jam. In this episode, Danny talks about how he came to join the team at Hodinkee, his watch journey, and his thoughts on the watch landscape as it stands today. We also touch on some microbrands to watch out for, the prospect of a solid gold Explorer, and of course there’s plenty of vintage Rolex chat.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, Blake, Zach, and Thomas talk about some of the big new releases over the last few weeks. In case you haven’t been keeping up with the site, the last few weeks of January saw a flurry of new releases from brands like Zenith, Hublot, Oris, and more. Today, we’re focusing mainly on the standouts from the LVMH stable of brands, including a compelling new affordable diver from TAG Heuer, and an extremely wearable entry from Hublot, with a name that doesn’t necessarily make a lot of sense to us (let us know in the comments if you agree). Outside of LVMH, there’s also the matter of a brand new Royal Oak Jumbo (and a whole bunch of other Royal Oaks) from Audemars Piguet, an early candidate for the biggest release of the year. Be sure to let us know here or on Instagram which watches from the LVMH brands you’re most looking forward to seeing this year, and which flavor of Royal Oak you’d have if you could get an allocation.

This week on the podcast, we’re happy to be joined by @nycwatchguy. If you’re at all active in the Instagram watch community, chances are you’ve come across one of his posts. He favors high end independents, and has what is truly one of the most eclectic collections we’ve seen showcased on social media. This is a fun discussion covering @nycwatchguy’s evolution as a watch guy, current trends in the watch community, what the future holds, and even a little bit of basketball. These are all topics addressed in one way or another on @nycwatchguy’s excellent blog, where he discusses the business of watches in a frank and honest way through his unique perspective. It’s definitely worth a read, even if you only have a passing interest in some of the ultra high end watches he collects.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, we’re looking ahead to 2022, and talking about what we want to see more of from our favorite brands (and the industry as a whole) in the new year. Will brands like Tudor move from 2021’s niche releases (they really made a silver dive watch last year, people) to a more mass market approach? What are we about to see from IWC in 2022? Is this the year of the dress watch? All will be revealed in time, but for now give a listen to this week’s episode, and let us know what you expect from 2022 in the comments below, or on Instagram.

From affordable value propositions to unattainable grails, we talk about it all on this week’s episode.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara sit down to talk about some of their recent adventures, and the watches that accompanied them on their 2021 travels. Surfing, hiking, and more were all on the table last year, including a weekend excursion up Mt. Whitney and an exploration of rural Utah (both with Rolex Explorers, naturally). Also included: some helpful tips on what to do when you inevitably encounter a bear on the trail (your watches won’t help you), and a look ahead to new adventures on tap in 2022 (snowboarding is on the itinerary for at least one Worn & Wound editor).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, Blake Buettner, Zach Kazan, and Thomas Calara hit the mic to run through your favorite watch releases of the year. We asked listeners to tell us which watches spoke to them over the course of 2021, and you came through with a ton of great responses, jogging our memory to recall watches we may have forgotten during an uncommonly busy year. We cover everything from the new Moon Watch, to the many Tudor releases this year (in seemingly every metal but steel), as well as new watches from some of our favorite small brands, Baltic and Farer among them. If we missed anything (we definitely missed something) drop us a comment here or on Instagram, and let us know what your favorite releases of 2021 were, now that the year is nearly in the rearview. We’ll be back with a new episode soon to cover our own favorites from the past year, so watch out for that in the weeks ahead.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, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan sit down for an end-of-year conversation that covers watch resolutions, recent acquisitions, and watch buying regrets. The recent Zenith Poker Chip is once again discussed (seems we can’t get this one out of our heads) as is the concept of watch trading (as opposed to selling for cash). And because it’s the time of year when everyone seems to be heading out on the road, we talk about our own preferences when it comes to traveling with watches. One and done, or a full watch roll of potential options? Finally, we touch on what might be the single biggest watch news of the year, the sale of a Tiffany signed Nautilus with a robin’s-egg blue dial.Be sure to let us know in the comments if you have a preference or strategy when it comes to traveling with watches, or any watch related resolutions for the upcoming new year. Lastly, be sure to check out the first installment of Tool/Kit, including some audio from our own Jon Gaffney in this week’s podcast.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, Blake Buettner and Zach Weiss are joined by Ariel Adams for a wide ranging conversation that covers everything from the business of watches, to the use of color in watch design, to the place of social media in the watch landscape. Ariel, as many readers and listeners are aware, is the founder of A Blog to Watch, and we’re happy to have him join us to help celebrate Worn & Wound’s tenth anniversary by looking back and reflecting on all the changes in our little corner of the internet over the last several years. Ariel is in a unique spot to do that, as A Blog to Watch was one of the very first watch blogs, and has been going strong for well over a decade now. Few people have the breadth of experience that Ariel has, and he’s got a lot of hot takes that have accumulated over years in the industry. This is a great, unfiltered conversation that you’ll want to dive into whether you’re new to watches (there’s some great practical advice here) or as experienced as Ariel.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Felix Scholz and Andy Green, our friends from Down Under, and hosts of the wonderful podcast OT: The Podcast. Andy and Felix have both been around the block in the Australian and international watch media landscape with stints at Hodinkee and Time + Tide between them, and have seen OT grow by leaps and bounds in a short period of time with an impressive and growing guest list (our own Blake Buettner appeared on the show just weeks ago) and a dedicated community of listeners behind them. We’re thrilled to have Andy and Felix on the show this week to talk about their first limited edition watch release, consisting of two variants of the all new 39mm anOrdain Model 2 (we’ll have a full report on the new watches a little later today). The story of how these watches came about is at once charming and unlikely, and speaks to why we like brands like anOrdain and folks like Andy and Felix in the first place: these watches are meant to be fun, but take the craft and design seriously at the same time.If you’re not already subscribed to OT: The Podcast, be sure to check out the show right here, and subscribe via your favorite podcasting platform.

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner is joined by Kyle Snarr and Jon Gaffney for a wide ranging discussion on watches, gear, and a whole lot more. Kyle heads up partnerships at Worn & Wound, and is also behind the Cantonment Co. brand. Jon is a long time watch enthusiast and writer who has contributed to Worn & Wound since the early days, and also runs the popular @watchknifepen account on Instagram. The big topic at hand in this episode is Tool Kit, a new plank of the Worn & Wound experience that will allow brands to tell their stories on the website in a thoughtful, engaging way. It’s a different way of approaching sponsored content, and we think it’s going to provide a new avenue for telling the stories about watches, gear, and experiences that already make Worn & Wound great. In addition to discussing Tool Kit, Jon and Kyle have a lot to share in this episode about their own histories with watches, and they touch on a variety of subjects that take us through a breakdown of some arcane vintage Seiko terminology, what it means to be a collector versus an enthusiast, and why we seem to be drawn more and more to modern watches over vintage. Be sure to hit us up in the comments or on Instagram if you have any questions about Tool Kit, or anything else from today’s episode.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan sit down to talk about some of the more interesting new releases to hit the watch world in the last week (including an instance of the sequel maybe outperforming the original in the case of the latest from Aquastar), as well as a recap of our recent event with Farer at the Filson flagship store in Manhattan. We also discuss the idea of watch related “dealbreakers.” Are there aspects of a watch design that you just can’t get past? Should we try to get past our hangups about small watch details? It’s interesting conversation, and we’d love your feedback, so be sure to let us know if you have any watch dealbreakers after listening to this week’s podcast.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.
