Show notes

This week, a special episode of the podcast, hosted by Worn & Wound cofounder Zach Weiss and featuring fellow cofounder James Helms and Jonathan Ferrer, founder of Brew Watch Co. Jonathan has been a friend to us at Worn & Wound since the earliest days of Brew, and this conversation is a fun look back at the history of his brand, including an early Worn & Wound limited edition, the watch that saved Brew, and the triumph of the hugely successful Metric. Jonathan and Zach also give us the inside story on the just launched Brew x Worn & Wound Metric Regulators, a colorful and slightly tweaked version of the original Metric that you can read more about right here.

Time On Track Ep 14: Round 14 - Netherlands Sep 01, 2023

Show notes

The summer break is behind us, and we return for another episode of Time On Track, covering round 14 of the Formula 1 season in the Netherlands, at the Zandvoort circuit. At this point in the season, there are two things we can come to expect: a Verstappen win, and rain coming into play over the race weekend. As we've become accustomed to in recent races, rain did play a role throughout the weekend, and while there were a few predictable effects of this, for the most part, the race ended in somewhat predictable fashion. And that's a credit to the drivers this week.

This is a wide ranging discussion covering why it’s scary to dive into vintage watches, the difficulty surrounding buying a Rolex at retail, and the late breaking news that Rolex has bought Bucherer, the longtime luxury watch retailer.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 310: New Releases from Brew and Mr. Jones, plus the Debut of Watches and What Else, and Our Pursuits Beyond Watches Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach and Blake are discussing a wide range of topics, inspired by the recent debut of our “Watches and What Else” series, focusing on the artwork of Bryan Braddy. Just on the Worn & Wound team alone, the staff represents a huge variety of watch adjacent interests, and we’ll be digging into those more on the site in the coming months. Everything from record collecting, to mechanical keyboards, to open water diving is on the table. But first, we’ve got a new releases to talk about from Brew in the first ever mechanical iteration of the Metric, and a very clever memento mori watch from Mr. Jones.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 309: Selling Watches on the Forums, a New GMT from Longines, and the Impossible Watch Company Aug 16, 2023

Show notes

This week on the podcast, we’ve got a full roster of Worn & Wound team members on the mic to talk about some of the recent news in the watch world, as well as a topic that’s near and dear to all of us: navigating the enthusiast forums to sell your watches online. Zach Kazan recently wrote an editorial that asked if this process has ever been more problematic, and on this episode the whole team is here to share their thoughts. There’s also a discussion about a big new release from Longines, and one of the more interesting small brands we’ve come across as of late, the Impossible Watch Company, based in Talkeetna, Alaska. All that, plus a spirited defense of The Snyder Cut, coming from Zach W. and Zach K., as you’d expect.

Time On Screen: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

On this special episode of Time on Screen, we’re coming to you live from the Editorial Lounge at the Chicago Windup Watch Fair, where Zach Kazan was joined by Worn & Wound’s Head of Partnerships, Kyle Snarr, and Neall Brick from Citizen. They’re there to discuss Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino’s ninth feature film. This is one of the best watch spotting in recent years, primarily for a well documented mistake that has a Citizen chronograph on Brad Pitt’s wrist that definitely didn’t exist in 1969, when the film takes place. That’s the jumping off point for a spirited discussion about the film, the complicated reaction to it, and Tarantino’s career.

There’s also plenty of talk about the watch featured in the film, which was the inspiration for the recently released Citizen 50th Anniversary Tsuno Chronograph, a 1970s inspired gold tone chronograph that looks particularly at home on a bund strap.

We’re 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 Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood is a solid representation of that ethos.

A Week In Watches Ep 61: New Dial Colors Galore, & A Redesigned Longines HydroConquest Aug 13, 2023

Show notes

A Week In Watches returns with a look at a plethora of new releases that include updates from Christopher Ward, Glashütte Original, Nomos, and Tissot. Everyone has a new dial color or case size, it would seem, but they all work well here, bringing new renditions to old favorites, and further dialing in already great platforms. The big news this week comes from Longines, who redesigned their HydroConquest family with a new collection of GMT watches. Unique colorways and a few odd details on the dial preserve some of that classic HydroConquest character, while showing some serious sings of maturity in the process.

In other news, we’re about a year away from the 2024 summer Olympic games in Paris, and Omega is ready to kick things off with a new Seamaster 300commemorating the games. Omega and the Olympics go way back, like way way back, so it’s no surprise to see Omega getting a head start on things with a new LE, and we suspect that this won’t be the last to do so.

Finally, can you ever have too much of a good thing? Tissot doesn’t think so, and just keeps iterating on the wildly popular PRX range, most recently with new dial colors and even a fully gold plated example in their 35mm Powermatic 80 PRX line. It should come as no surprise that they work rather well. Catch more details on these watches in our full intro.

Reminder that you can catch us again in 2 weeks for more watches, people, and news in episode 62 of A Week In Watches.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 308: Recent Reviews of New Watches from Zenith and TAG Heuer, Plus New Releases from Vulcain and Nomos Aug 09, 2023

Show notes

This week on the podcast, Blake and Zach sit down to talk about some of the watches they’ve reviewed recently, including what might be the ultimate Zenith Defy, as well as the summer ready TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper, a reissue of one of the most sought after of all Heuers. There are also some fun new releases to talk about, including a new Vulcain with a dive table that’s tough to wrap your arms around, and a pair of new Nomos Ahois in a more compact size.

Time On Screen: Oppenheimer Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan and Blake Buettner are both fresh off of seeing Oppenheimer, one of the biggest and most talked about movies to be released in years, covering events that Christopher Nolan seems to think are the most important in all of human history. That might be up for some debate, but it’s just one of many things to tackle from this dense, loud, visually impressive, and head spinning film. Of course, as a period piece, there are some historical vintage watches to discuss that appear on screen, but the movie is so immersive and so full of ideas, it’s not likely to leave you distracted by watch spotting.

Time On Track Ep 13: Round 13 - Spa Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

Time On Track returns to examine the final race before the summer break, and it's one our favorite tracks on the calendar. This is round 13, the Belgian GP at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. This was an action packed weekend that featured a sprint shootout and race, a whole lotta rain, and one inevitable winner. Max Verstappen took his 9th win of the season with a phenomenal performance starting from 6th on the grid (thanks to a new gearbox taken prior to the race). Sergio Perez got the performance he was looking for, finishing a somewhat distant second, followed closely by Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton. The McLaren team continued to look strong throughout the weekend, with some masterful driving from both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, and were it not for a lap 1, turn 1 incident, might have seen one of them on the podium.
