The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 307: Catching Up with Barbara Palumbo Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

This week on the podcast, Blake and Kat are joined by Barbara Palumbo, a longtime fixture in the watch enthusiast community and a friend of the show who you might know better as @whatsonherwrist on Instagram. Barbara is one of our favorite personalities in the watch world, and as you’ll hear in this conversation, is an exceptional storyteller. Barbara tells us about the genesis of her children’s book inspired by an Oris watch, reminisces about watch trade shows of the past and what makes Dubai Watch Week in particular so special, and we get to hear the origin story of her own limited edition watch made in collaboration with Out of Order to celebrate her 50th birthday.

Time on Screen: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

In this edition of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr recount their experience with Indiana Jones and dip into the newest installment of the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Zach gives us all the details around his recent red carpet experience at the LA premiere of the film (more on that here) and gets into the watch on Indy’s wrist—Hamilton’s classically-designed Boulton.

From there the episode transitions into a first for the Time on Screen podcast, Zach gets the chance to interview the Prop Master from the film, Ben Wilkinson. Together they dive deep into the role of the ‘property master’ and how objects on screen should always help move the story forward. A big thanks to Hamilton, Disney, Lucasfilm and our guest Ben Wilkinson for making this episode a reality!

A Week In Watches Ep 60: More Collabs, A Nautical Cricket, & Oris Hits One Out of the Park Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

We’re back with a fresh episode of A Week In Watches, covering news from Norqain, Oris, Vulcain, and of course, Linde Werdelin. Additionally, it wouldn’t be a new week without a new collaboration to discuss, and this time it comes courtesy of our friends at Massena LAB and Revolution Magazine in the form of a new, mostly original take on the Uni-Racer Chronograph. Elsewhere, Oris returns to the baseball field to honor the great Milwaukee (okay, and Atlanta) Brave, Hank Aaron with a new colorway of their Big Crown Pointer Date. Another unique configuration of an existing watch released this week is a new Octo Moonphase from Linde Werdelin, who still have a knack for killer case architecture and open dial work.

A favorite release this weeks comes from Vulcain, who is once again bringing back the Nautical Cricket, a diving alarm watch with a gnarly inner bezel which includes a full decompression table. This is a historic watch that’s more than just a novelty, it’s got some serious pedigree under its belt that dates back to the early ’60s. Plus, it offers two caseback options, a move we rarely see at this price point. Keep an eye out for more on that one coming soon. Until then, enjoy this week’s episode below.

A quick note on a programming change with A Week In Watches: this series will be moving to a bi-monthly format, allowing us more time to bring you a broader selection of curated news, at an even better production quality. A lot of work goes into creating these, and we want to make sure we can maintain the best possible balance to bring you our thoughts on all the people, watches, and stories from the industry. This change will take effect beginning next month.

This week’s episode is brought to you by Artem straps. Artem is a modern watch strap maker out of Australia creating a high quality sailcloth-style watch straps. After much testing and iteration, Artem developed a meticulous material selection process which landed on a unique blend of materials that offered just the right finish, flexibility, and water resistance. The upper side of their straps are an embossed synthetic, while the underside is a combo of coated leather and natural rubber. The results are impeccable, made with a quality usually only found in very high-end OEM straps. Visit artemstraps.com to learn more about the brand and its array of products.

Time On Track Ep 12: Round 12 - Hungary Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

Time On Track returns for round 12 of the 2023 Formula 1 season with the race in Hungary. Ricardo and Blake react to the new qualifying format trialed at this race (a change we’d like to see made permanent), as well as all the race drama that unfolded on track on Sunday. The end result may have been predictable, but there was still plenty to ponder as we head into the mid season. McLaren continues to storm up the grid with another impressive performance from Lando Norris, who finished P2, and rookie Oscar Piastri, who once again came tantalizingly close to his first podium. Can Mercedes replicate their customer team’s jump in pace? They’ll need to if they want any chance of closing the gap to Red Bull in this weekend’s race in Belgium.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 306: We Love The 90's Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

This week on the podcast, we’re going back to the 90s for a discussion about the unique nostalgia that period right before the turn of the millennium. We had a great conversation with Gabe Reilly from Collective Horology in front of a crowd at the Windup Watch Fair in Chicago, and are sharing that here this week. The 1990s saw a lot of great (or at least interesting) watches that perhaps don’t get the respect they deserve, and we try to figure out why in this panel discussion.

This episode is brought to you by Artem. Artem is a modern strap maker out of Australia. During their search for great aftermarket watch straps, it became apparent to them that oftentimes, the sailcloth straps offered by many retailers felt like a bit of an afterthought. The quality just wasn’t up to par with straps of other materials. This opportunity provided motivation for them to embark on a journey to create a high quality sailcloth-style watch strap that they’d want to wear everyday, no matter the activity. After much testing and iteration, Artem developed a meticulous material selection process which landed on a unique blend of materials that offered just the right finish, flexibility, and water resistance. The upper side of their straps are an embossed synthetic, while the underside is a combo of coated leather and natural rubber. The result speaks for itself… straps with that classic look and functionality of sailcloth, but with the outer satin sheen they’ve become known for and quality usually only found in very high-end OEM straps. Visit artemstraps.com to learn more about the brand and its array of products.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 305: Live from Windup Watch Fair, Jason Heaton and James Stacey of the Grey NATO Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

This week on the podcast, we’re coming to you live from the Windup Watch Fair in Chicago, and we’re thrilled to be joined for the second year in a row by James Stacey and Jason Heaton, who you almost certainly know as the co-hosts of The Grey NATO podcast. Blake Buettner and Kat Shoulders joined the TGN guys on stage in front of a live audience on Sunday afternoon of Windup weekend, for a wide ranging discussion that featured a recap of a Lake Michigan dive trip with Benrus the day before, insight into what goes into the decision to actually buy a watch, candid thoughts on some big new releases, and a proper evaluation of how to pronounce “Pelagos.”

Just like last year, this is a two part episode, so be sure to look out for the rest of the conversation on TGN’s feed tomorrow, which includes a great Q&A with Windup attendees.

Time On Track Ep 11: Round 11 - Silverstone Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

Time On Track returns for round 11 of the 2023 Formula 1 season, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. We love this track for the often entertaining racing it lends itself to, and this weekend was no exception. The biggest surprise of this race was the pace shown by the McLaren cars driven by Lando Norris and the rookie Oscar Piastri, who finished in P2 and P4 respectively, and would were it not for an untimely safety car would have likely secured two spots on the podium. We saw another early qualifying exit from Sergio Perez, and a horrid slate of bad luck for McLaren's main rival, Alpine.

Time On Screen: JAWS Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

In this edition of Time on Screen, recorded following a festive Fourth of July weekend during which no members of the Worn & Wound team were eaten by a shark, Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr examine Jaws, Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic, and perhaps the ultimate summer movie. Jaws is often credited with creating the modern summer blockbuster, and in this conversation we look at exactly how that happened, from an ingenious and novel marketing strategy to old fashioned great technical filmmaking.

As watch fans are likely aware, Jaws is also a great watch spotting movie, and has made a cult hit out of the humble Alsta Nautoscaph, worn by Richard Dreyfuss throughout the film. Kyle has spent significant time with the Alsta, and gives his impressions of the watch, along with some thoughts on alternative watch casting for other members of the Orca shark hunting crew.
