The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week on the podcast, Blake welcomes Kyle Snarr and Nelly Calhoun to the podcast to talk all things Windup Watch Fair, which returns to New York City this weekend. The New York City fair is always special, and this year’s is our biggest yet, taking place over two floors of the Altman Building, including a number of brands making their Windup debut. In this episode, Kyle and Nelly answer questi...

A Week In Watches returns with big news from Seiko, who revealed a pair of new Prospex references which celebrate the brand’s history in land-based watches. The pair of limited editions each pick up something special from Seiko’s history, starting with the SPB411 GMT, a watch that recalls the Navigator Timer of the ’60s, which was Seiko first GMT to feature a rotating bezel. The second is a reviva...

Time On Track returns this week with a look at Round 18 of the 2023 Formula 1 season: Qatar. The newly resurfaced Lusail International Circuit was particularly punishing to the Pirelli tires this week, so much so that a mandate was handed down to the teams stipulating that tires could go no longer than 17 lap stints at a time. This created 3 and 4 stop races for many of the teams, and plenty of dr...

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach are talking about a range of new releases, including a big new release from Collective and Montblanc, as well as a fascinating modern take on the field watch from Baltic. They also catch up about some recent travel (including a visit to the Vortic headquarters in Fort Collins, CO), and reviews that they’ve completed recently on a 90s favorite a...

This week on the podcast, Blake and Zach are chatting with Asher Rapkin, co-founder of Collective Horology, about their latest release, the 1858 Minerva Monopusher Chronograph “Blue Arrow” P.05. This is a seriously high end, and beautiful, chronograph that takes inspiration from vintage Minerva stopwatches from the 1940s and 50s. Asher takes us through how the watch was conceived, with a variety o...

A Week In Watches returns this week with a look at a trio of divers that take their inspiration from the past, and apply in a thoroughly modern way. No faux lume or tropical dials in sight, prompting us to wonder if that trend is behind us. Divers from Oris, Tudor, and Seiko all paint a clear picture of a way forward that’s not a carbon copy of the past. You might say Seiko has always been ahead i...

On this episode of Time on Screen, Zach welcomes Ricardo Simé to the podcast to chat about Focus , an underseen 2015 film starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie. Focus has become something of a cult favorite since it came and went at the box office nearly ten years ago, and it strikes a particular chord if you’re a watch collector with what are some frankly terrifying scenes involving watch theft....

Time On Track looks to Japan this week for round 17 of the Formula 1 season at the famous Suzuka Circuit. Verstappen returned to form this week, taking a dominant victory and bagging the World Constructor Championship for the team in the process, despite Sergio Perez's most forgettable race of the season. Some strange team orders were the subject of plenty of discussion, including one call that sa...

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are taking over while Blake is on vacation for a special episode where they tackle questions from our Worn & Wound+ Slack community. These questions were a lot of fun and really ran the gamut, covering everything from flexing your Rolex at the gym, to caring for your watch bracelets, and favorite articles and photography campaigns we’ve been i...

Racing returns this week with the first of a double header featuring Singapore and Japan, and the Marina Bay Street Circuit offered what is to this point, the best race of the season. For the first time this season, and the first time more than 15 races, a team other than Red Bull claimed victory, and without the dominant Verstappen in the lead, the door was opened to the most competitive racing o...

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner is checking in from his recent dive trip in Florida with Tudor, and is joined by fellow dive watch aficionado Justin, AKA @the_wristorian on Instagram, where you’ve probably seen him post tons of amazing content on just about everything you can imagine relating to dive watch history. He’s a true authority, and a genuine enthusiast, and his feed is...

Time on Screen is back this week, and Zach Kazan welcomes his Worn & Wound colleagues Nelly Calhoun, the team’s Events Manager, and Nina Flanders, Worn & Wound’s Customer Experience Coordinator. In this episode, they’re talking about Greta Gerwig’s Barbie . In a huge movie year, no movie has been more talked about than Barbie , and there is so much to discuss, including an all-time great triple wa...

This week on the podcast, Blake is joined by Zach Kazan to talk about all the big news coming out of Geneva Watch Days, including an impressive collaboration between MB&F and H. Moser for Only Watch, an impressive new chronograph from Sylvain Pinaud, and a Doxa that, perhaps, stole the show (for better or worse). But first, they talk about what will surely be one of the most talked about releases...

Time On Track returns to discuss round 15 of the 2023 Formula 1 season, which saw rain free racing happen around Italy's historic Monza circuit. Ferrari threw everything but the kitchen sink at their car this week to bring the fight to Red Bull around their home track, and they damn near succeeded. While the inevitable 10th straight Verstappen victory indeed came to pass, Carlos Sainz managed to l...

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...

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 weeken...

Today on the podcast, Blake Buettner is joined by Worn & Wound cofounder James Helms and Chad Tsagris, who runs Laco, Out of Order and other brands in the United States, and is the SVP of Watch Gang (you’ve almost certainly seen him at a Windup if you’ve attended one recently). This is a wide ranging discussion covering why it’s scary to dive into vintage watches, the difficulty surrounding buying...

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 co...

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...

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...

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 HydroC...

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 ar...

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 impressi...

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...
