Show notes

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, the team sits down to talk about the year’s first big trade show, LVMH Watch Week. This show sees the LVMH brands showing off their latest and greatest creations to kick off the year, and we’ve got all the news on the big debuts from Zenith, TAG Heuer, and others. We’ll also chat about a new release from Oris, the Big Crown Calibre 473, which sees their 120 hour in house movement lose the rotor and go fully hand wound, complete with a power reserve visible through the caseback. The year has only just begun, and there are already a ton of new watches to chat about – surely a good sign for the remainder of 2023.

Time on Screen: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

Break out your red caps and speedos, this week Time on Screen is tackling The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Wes Anderson’s follow up to The Royal Tenenbaums was a box office flop and a definite miss with critics when it was released in 2004, but over the years the film’s reputation has improved, and it is now considered one of Anderson’s most emotionally complex and ambitious projects. Featuring great performances from Bill Murray and a stellar supporting cast that includes Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, and others, The Life Aquatic is particularly rewarding on a rewatch, as there are endless sight gags, easter eggs, and new ways to view the arc of the Zissou character.

Today’s episode features Zach Kazan and his guest Kyle Snarr, making his return to the Time on Screen podcast to talk about not only his favorite Wes Anderson movie, but his favorite movie, period. Not only is The Life Aquatic a fantastic example of Anderson’s visual style and the themes he’d go on to explore in similar depth with later films, but it has some great watch spotting, including a fun and affordable diver that Kyle is sporting on this very recording.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 278: Our Predictions for 2023 Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, it’s one of our favorite episodes of the year: our predictions and hopes for the year ahead. The early days of January are a great time – everyone is still in great spirits from the recent holiday season, and we’re all full of hope for what will surely be an exciting year of new releases, watchmaking innovations, and exciting developments across the horological landscape. The editorial team has thoughts on what we might see in the realm of “micro indies,” new executions of much loved complications, and, of course, completely incorrect predictions on what Tudor will do. We’re also talking about watch resolutions. Is that even a thing? Do you have any? If you do, be sure to drop them in the comments, and let us know if you have any predictions for 2023 as well.

Show notes

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re answering your questions. It’s the first episode of the year (and the final recording of 2022) and we’re opening up the mailbag. It’s a full crew today, with Blake, Thomas, Patrick, Zach Weiss, Zach Kazan, Ed Jelley, and Kat Shoulders all checking in to ponder the many questions asked by Worn & Wound readers and listeners. Among them: Why do brands think power reserve is a flex? When is the Windup Watch Fair coming to Europe? And, do we suffer any form of watch burnout? We also return to the topic of meteorite dials, and display some pretty impressive soccer knowledge.

A Week in Watches Ep 30: A Year in Watches 2022 Pt.1 Jan 01, 2023

Show notes

It’s the last week of the year. News is slow, people are away or taking some needed time off – things are quiet. So, we’re doing something a bit different on A Week in Watches. Rather than looking back at the most recent week, we’re doing the whole dang year. Yes, it’s A Year in Watches 2022, which means there’s actually a ton to cover. So much, so that this is only part 1, with the second airing next week.

This week, we focus on major brands and groups from MoonSwatches to Kodo constant force tourbillions. Next week… well, we still have a couple of the larger houses, but then we will focus on standout micro and independents.

A Week In Watches Ep 29: Q&A but First Some Seiko! Dec 25, 2022

Show notes

This week’s episode of A Week in Watches will be slightly different. Actually, the next few weeks will be as news is slow this time of year. So, this week is a Q&A! We took three questions that were submitted by readers/viewers/listeners via our instagram account. But, we couldn’t skip the news entirely as Seiko wanted to get a headstart on next year and dropped some sweet limited editions.

This week’s episode was brought to you by WatchCrunch.com. If there’s one thing we watch enthusiasts like to do, it’s to look at and talk about watches. WatchCrunch is a new social media platform that helps us to do just that. Like a mix between Instagram and a watch forum, but easier to and more accessible than either, it’s a dedicated platform for watch enthusiasts. It’s also really easy to use and get set up with and packed full of great features. Head to WatchCrunch.com now to get started.
