Show notes

This week on the podcast, Zach is calling in from Los Angeles, where he was lucky enough to attend the premiere of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny with Hamilton, who have a watch in the film, and he chats with Blake about his experience at the big premier, and why this movie might be particularly interesting to watch enthusiasts. Then they move on to some notable new releases, including a smaller Tissot PRX, and a great new Longines Spirit Zulu Time GMT with a new 39mm case. And don’t miss the end of the episode, where Zach shares his controversial thoughts on a certain West Coast burger chain.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 300: Video Games, The Exotic Dialed Daytona, & A Sketchy Speedmaster Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

This week on the podcast, Blake, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are discussing some of the big watch news to come across their desks in the last week. Yes, this is what they do on the podcast almost every week, but this week the news was truly big, with the surprise launch of a new Rolex Daytona, and word of a true blue auction scandal hitting the watch world, thanks to a record breaking but questionable Speedmaster that was sold for over $3 million recently. We also got some great new releases from Seiko, including a throwback to a vintage favorite and a cult hit reborn for a new generation.

A Week In Watches Ep 53: Forged Carbon Regatta Timing With Tissot & More Jun 11, 2023

Show notes

With our first year behind us (thanks for all the well wishes!), we’re back with episode 53 of A Week In Watches with new releases from Tissot, Breguet, Seiko & more. One of our favorite watches of the summer (thus far) has come from Tissot, and it’s a forged carbon regatta timer called the Sideral. Yes, it’s a callback to something they’ve done in the past, and yes, it’s still awesome. With a carbon case and Powermatic 80 movement, this is a ton of watch (and funk) for about $1,100, see more here. Elsewhere, Breguet gives us a first look at new Type 20 and Type XX watches, with a stunning new movement and a date window that may leave you scratching your head. Head to the video on YouTube to give us your take on the date, as well as the rest of the watches in this week’s episode.

Rounding things out, we’ve got news of a new Pontos S Diver from Maurice Lacroix, which is a welcome site from the brand, though we wonder if it could have done with a slight bit of modernization? Speaking of, Seiko has modernized their King Seiko with a trimmer case architecture and a new movement which brings a date to the regular production modern King Seiko. Finally, IWC has brought the silver dial back to the Mark Pilot watch and it works about as well as you’d expect, which is to say, pretty damn well.

Time on Track Ep 8: Round 8 - Spain Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

Ricardo and Blake return to discuss round 8 of the 2023 Formula 1 season, which was run in Barcelona, Spain. The Mercs show signs of life, Aston takes a step back, Ferrari continues to struggle, and Verstappen remains dominant.

Time On Screen: Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of Time on Screen, Zach is joined by Asher Rapkin, co-founder of Collective Horology. We return to the small screen this week to focus on what might just be as close as we’ll ever come to a consensus pick for the greatest television show of them all, The Sopranos. Zach and Asher reminisce about catching the series as it aired (they’re both kind of old) and acquiring those iconic DVD box sets, another collecting rabbit hole altogether. Then they dive into “Mr. Ruggerio’s Neighborhood,” the season 3 premiere that originally aired in the spring of 2001, setting the table for what some fans argue is the best single season of the show. This episode, which tracks an FBI team as they attempt to plant a listening device in the Soprano home (the “sausage factory”), is uniquely obsessed with time, and has what is easily one of the show’s great watch spots on Agent Harris. His Timex (with an Indiglo dial) is sneakily great character work, drawing a clear line between Tony and life of ill gotten gains, and the more humble means of the government employee just doing his job in trying to take him down.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 299: Strap Monsters, Time Eaters, and WatchRecon Alerts Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

This week on the podcast, Blake, Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and Kat Shoulders are all in the studio. Maybe it’s the whole “recording in person” thing, but this one has a bit of everything, including a lengthy wrist check that dives into numerous tangents, from potential alternative terms for “strap monster” (and why we don’t refer to pants as “belt monsters”), weird watch tools we don’t know how to use, and how to solve the problem of too much text on a dial. Other topics in this totally normal episode of the podcast include our favorite Corvettes, toad straps, and watches that say Turbo on the dial. The main topic, such as it is, is a dive into our WatchRecon alerts, inspired by Zach Kazan’s recent editorial on the strange connection to old watch searches.

Time On Track Ep 7: Round 7 - Monaco Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

We're back after an unscheduled break that saw the cancellation of Round 6 of the F1 season, which was due to take place at Imola, due to heavy flooding in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy. Side note, you can learn more and even help those effected by visiting this web page outlining organizations set up to provide support. These events will mean the shortening of the F1 season from 23 races, to 22 races, though this past race in Monaco remains round 7 on the calendar. Monaco is of course the most glamorous date on the schedule, running through the streets of the Monte Carlo canton of the principality for the 80th time this year.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 298: Our Favorite Summer Watch Picks with J.J. Owens May 31, 2023

Show notes

This week on the podcast, we’ve got summer on the mind. Blake Buettner, Kat Shoulders, and Zach Kazan sit down to talk about the ins and outs of the “summer watch” with our special guest Jessica “J.J.” Owens. J.J. is one of our favorite members of the watch community – her Instagram is a must follow for the french fry reviews alone – and she has a lot to say about the concept of the summer watch, along with a few recommendations and stories of summer watches past. She also tells us about her new venture, the Daily Grail, a watch website focusing on a fun and grounded approach to luxury, filtered through J.J.’s unique perspective.

Show notes

In episode 51 of A Week In Watches we take a look at a trio of new Monaco watches from TAG Heuer leading into the race weekend in, well, Monaco, as well as a watch that’s taken shape almost entirely in the US of A from the workshop of J.N. Shapiro. Those two watches might be on opposite ends of the spectrum, but there’s plenty more to discuss in the middle, from a new Mathey Tissot x Massena LAB, Breitling Classic AVI watches (including one sweet re-edition), and news from Audemars Piguet, who’ve announced a new CEO to take the helm of the brand beginning next year. Plus, one spicy comment from last week’s episode.
