Show notes

It’s here, the last episode of the year. A Week in Watches episode 70 – wow. Though the year is coming to a close, there still is some news – big news actually – to discuss, so it’s a pretty full episode. We kick it off with some upgrades fromGrand Seiko to one of their core designs. From there, we head to the UK to check out a couple of late-in-the-year releases from Farer. Then, it’s over to Switzerland to discuss Breitling’s acquisition of Universal Genève. Finally, we’re back to Japan for some new, and very cool, GMTs from Seiko 5.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 327: Our Favorite Watches of 2023 Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

This week, as the year draws to a close, the Worn & Wound team considers their favorite watch releases from the last twelve months. This is our Watch of the Year episode, where we find Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, Kat Shoulders, and Ed Jelley picking the watches that stood out to them in a crowded year of new releases. Their picks run the gamut, from affordable micro-brand staples, to the impossibly high end haute horlogerie, and everything in between.

Let us know in the comments what releases stood out to you, and stay tuned to these pages as we’ll be bringing you our full year end wrap up featuring contributions from our contributing writers next week.

A Week in Watches Ep. 69: Seikos, Sea Shells, Flybacks, and More! Dec 10, 2023

Show notes

On this week’s episode of A Week in Watches, we have news from Furlan Marri, Arcanaut, Baltic, Oak & Oscar, and Seiko. Furlan Marri returns to its roots with a new chronograph, but this time with a high-end mechanical chronograph movement. Arcanaut debuts two new watches in the D’Arc Colors line, one featuring a very unexpected dial material. Baltic adds some gold to existing models, and they look killer. Oak & Oscar team up with a local Illinois whiskey brand for a very cool collab. And, finally, Seiko debuts some new, and very nice, mechanical chronographs.

This episode was sponsored by Artem and their new HydroFlex watch strap. Crafted with a premium FKM rubber base and layered with their signature synthetic embossed material, “HydroFlex” is water-resistant, flexible, durable, and comfortable immediately out of the box, with no break-in period.

Time on Screen: The Killer Dec 08, 2023

Show notes

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

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 325: End of Year Q&A Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

It’s Q&A time once again! In this episode of the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Weiss, Kat Shoulders, and Zach Kazan are fielding questions from you, our listeners, submitted via Instagram and our Worn & Wound+ Slack channel. For this round of questions, we field queries from a diverse range of topics, including our favorite straps to splurge on, the bags we carry, and even what we did before our Worn & Wound days. We also tackle the age old question of how we know it’s time to sell a watch, and we even touch on the possibility of the Windup Watch Fair heading to the UK (spoiler alert: no definitive plans yet, but we love to think about it).

We love answering your questions and will be sure to do more episodes like this in the future, so if you want a chance to submit your own question, hit the link for our Worn & Wound+ Slack channel in the show notes below.

Time On Track: Episode 23 – Abu Dhabi [Live Report] Dec 01, 2023

Show notes

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