The Worn & Wound Podcast

The Time on Screen podcast is back! This week, in celebration of the newly released Benrus Series #3061, Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr are diving deep into Bullitt, the 1968 classic starring Steve McQueen as a San Francisco detective trying to get to the bottom of a mob conspiracy. Bullitt is mostly remembered these days for its incredible car chase sequence through real San Francisco streets, but it’s also an important film in nailing down the iconic style of its star, and that certainly includes the watch that McQueen wears throughout the film. In this episode, Zach and Kyle take you through the movie, exploring what it is about the setting, the action scenes, and the movie star at the center of it all that makes Bullitt special.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.

To kick things off on this week’s podcast, Blake is joined by Worn & Wound co-founder Blake Malin and, making her W&W podcast debut, Nelly Calhoun, Worn & Wound’s events manager. They’re here to give you a preview of all things Windup Watch Fair, which is fast approaching and moving to a new location in New York City. Not only will this Windup see more brands than ever before, but we’ll have dedicated spaces for breakout sessions and panels, a lounge and bar, giveaways, and more!Then, Blake talks to Zach Weiss, Patrick Marlett, and Thomas Calara about some recent new releases, including a Star Trek inspired release from Urwerk, and a Formex that Thomas has been sampling for review. Be warned, everyone is double wristing on this episode, so if you like wrist checks, this is the episode for you. There’s the requisite Last Action Hero talk (Patrick is here, after all) and a digression into the ever expanding world of affordable GMT watches. Also, don’t miss Blake asking Siri about the current time on Mars. This episode has everything!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 A Week In Watches we’ve got a fairly diverse group of releases. Our first stop is some Seiko Prospex divers made out of titanium, then we head to an Ollech & Wajs with a cool bezel, from there we’re off to space with Urwerk and their new, nerdtastic 120, and finally, we’re back to Germany for some old-school crafts by Benzinger.We’ve got two (house) sponsors this week. The first is Windup Watch Fair NYC! Yup, it’s October, which means that Windup Watch Fair NYC is right around the corner, Oct 21 – 23. This year’s show is going to be the biggest and best yet. We have over 60 brands presenting, panels, a bar, and more. To accommodate this, we’ve moved it to a new locale: the Altman Building at 135 W 18th st. As before, it’s free and open to the public, so bring your family, friends, and your wallet too 😉 – Details can be found at windupwatchfair.comNext up, this week we had an exciting launch in the Windup Watch Shop, the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT Blueberry LE. The newest take on their robust, vintage-styled GMT, the Blueberry has a classic appeal composed of handsome colors.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan joins Blake and Thomas to talk about one of the most unexpected releases of the year: the Norqain Wild One. Zach was in Switzerland for the launch of the Wild One, which employs a proprietary carbon fiber material called Norteq that makes it incredibly lightweight, robust, and can even be colored. Zach shares his thoughts on the watch and the rollout, and talks about the experience of interviewing the one and only Jean-Claude Biver. Later in this episode, the team chats about what it’s like to turn on non-watch people to this incredibly niche hobby, and the whether we’ve successfully created any new enthusiasts through a strong recommendation. Has this ever happened to you? Be sure to leave a note in the comments if you’ve successfully gotten someone else hooked on 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 A Week in Watches we take a look at a few new tool watches that came out. There’s a watch built for Martians by Omega, but you can use it too. Then, Christopher Ward updates the three original watches in their Military collection. Lastly, Mühle Glashütte, builds off of their beloved SAR line with a new watch rendered in my favorite metal, titanium.But first, I go a little more in-depth than usual for this week’s sponsor as it’s a launch of a new series of watches from a brand we run, ADPT. The ADPT (“adapt” – Add Day, Purpose, and Terrain) Series 1 Watches are built to be modern, fun, sports watches that are inspired by the awesome outdoor gear we love. Built by BOLDR Supply Co for ADPT, they are purposeful, but stylish timepieces. Check them out now at ADPTGoods.com

This week on the show, we’ve got Blake, Thomas, Zach and Patrick in the studio to talk about some of the more interesting recent releases to come across our desks. Norqain’s new Wild ONE is at the top of mind, and the gang puts on their materials scientist hats to ponder the pros and cons of carbon fiber, and wonder what this new Norteq material is all about. The team also discusses the latest release from Massena and Habring, which is a gorgeous perpetual calendar chronograph, and in the course of the conversation we learn that at least one member of the crew is actually not into chronographs at all. Can you believe it? To find out who, you’ll have to listen. Also, send us your ideas for how Thomas Calara can test the new Apple Watch (but keep it relatively safe and sane) in the comments below.

We’ve made it to episode 16 of A Week in Watches. That’s four months! A quarter year! Crazy. Anyway, this week we cover the news from Norqain (including a potential interpretation of how the first conversation between Jean Claude Biver and the board at Norqain went), the return of the Vulcain Cricket (with a debate on what sound crickets really make), some new Farers, and a perpetual monopusher chronograph from Habring2 that has a very tangential relationship with medieval dancing plague. Yeah, it was quite a good week in watch news, so check that out below.This week’s sponsor is the Windup Watch Shop, where you can find watches from over 20 brands from Seiko to Oris.

Today, we’re continuing our run of watch spotting in movies in a new series we’re calling Time On Screen. This new Worn & Wound podcast series will focus on the intersection between watches and movies, covering everything from classics, box office hits, and lesser-known titles that we think are worth discussing. Today, it’s all about the watches of The Abyss, James Cameron’s 1989 underwater sci-fi thriller. In the episode, Zach Kazan and our own Kyle Snarr record their thoughts on the film’s watches, Cameron’s filmography, and what makes for good watch casting in films in general. We’re so grateful to our friends at Citizen for making this episode possible. Their Promaster collection is built on a century worth of technological research and innovation. The collection represents professional-grade sports watches built for sea, land, and air. Each watch is designed to overcome the elements and empower the wearer to “Go Deeper, Go Further and Go Higher” and the watch casting in The Abyss is a solid representation of that ethos.To learn more about Citizen Promaster and explore the collection, head to citizenwatch.com.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’re talking about the age old question that has been plaguing all of us: are you a collector, or an enthusiast? Blake wrote about this conundrum in self-identification a few weeks ago, and we thought it would be good fodder for a slightly deeper dive. So enjoy this chat with Blake, Zach Kazan, Kat, and Patrick covering the finer points of what it means to collect versus…enthuse? Let us know in the comments if the collector/enthusiast distinction means anything to you personally, and what category you’d place yourself in.Today’s episode of the Worn and Wound Podcast is brought to you by the New York Windup Watch Fair.

This week’s episode of A Week in Watches starts off with a little catch-up after Geneva Watch Days. We go from the Apple Watch Ultra to the Monta Skyquest and then to Grand Seiko in a quick sweep of releases. Then, we’re off to some newness from Timex x Todd Snyder and Longines, and finally a question from the audience!It’s been a minute since I’ve taken a question from the audience, so I was excited to do so. Though a straightforward question, it let me delve a little into a topic I find exciting, meca-quartz.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach are talking about the just announced Apple Watch Ultra. It’s Apple’s most advanced smartwatch to date (and the largest) but is it a tool watch? It’s a question we’ve seen bandied about in all of the usual places, and we get into it here. Then, it’s off to Switzerland to chat through some of the key releases from Geneva Watch Days, from a dramy MB&F to a much more accessible Doxa.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.

Well, last week I got distracted by a certain dive watch by a certain brand (it was Tudor) and didn’t get to my coverage of Geneva Watch Days 2022. So, this week, I highlight five releases from GWD that were of interest from brands ranging in style and price from Doxa to Frederique Constant to MB&F. Sit back and enjoy a little trip to Geneva.This week’s sponsor is the Windup Watch Shop, which recently added the newest iterations of Seiko’s Save the Ocean dive watches. Based on iconic divers from Seiko’s archives, this trilogy has been updated with their newest 6R automatic movements, and gorgeous textured dials inspired by ice.

It’s a full house today on the Worn & Wound podcast, so brace yourselves for a spirited discussion on the watch that broke the internet last week: the all new Tudor Pelagos 39. Everyone’s got a take on the new, smaller Tudor diver, and we’re no exception. What do you think? Is this a must have dive watch? Will you be buying one? And, be honest: were you pronouncing “Pelagos” correctly before Tudor’s immediately iconic video dropped?We also take a moment to talk about the new Grönefeld 1969 Delta Works, the first sports watch from the independent brand out of the Netherlands. And yes, it’s a point of great pride for all involved that to our knowledge we’re the only podcast to draw a tenuous connection between the Delta Works and the forgotten classic that is Last Action Hero. It will all (sort of) make sense when you listen.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 I try and fail to cover some Geneva Watch Days highlights. You see, right in the middle of everything, Tudor had to go and release the Pelagos 39. Not just a variation of an existing watch, the Pelagos 39 is likely to become the new “go-to” model by the brand. I go over where the Pelagos came from and what makes this new model different.And then… I still fail to talk about Geneva Watch Days because Fratello teamed up with Minase to make a new collaboration with the brand using a case that was previously only for sale in Japan. It’s rad, and goes on sale soon, so I didn’t want to miss it.As for Geneva Watch Days? I guess I’ll get there next week.This week’s episode is brought to you by the Labor Day Sale currently going on at the Windup Watch Shop.

Today on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, Zach Kazan, and Patrick Marlett are in studio to discuss a question that's come up a lot recently: what's with all these "pro" watches? Did it start with the Speedmaster? Should we consider our own professions before committing to buy something like a Black Bay Pro, or the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer GMT with a similar designation? What's in a name, anyway? Is it all just clever marketing or does a "Pro" watch have a meaningful functional advantage? We tackle the tough questions on this week's episode.

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. Oris watches will be on display and available for purchase at the upcoming Windup Watch Fair in Chicago, July 15th through 17th.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 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.

Learn more here.This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach recap the recent Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco, including a mini food truck review, as well as some of the watches that stuck with us from a memorable weekend. 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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
