The Worn & Wound Podcast

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 u...

We did it! We've done a full year of A Week in Watches! For episode 52 we decided to mix things up and have three hosts, all in studio, taking questions we received from the Worn & Wound+ Slack Community!  Join the community here! https://join.slack.com/t/wornwoundplus/shared_invite/zt-1ra6fqrbq-bi~lLSEtLKcK0eh~I0a78Q  

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, t...

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,...

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,...

Time on Screen is back this week, and Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are talking about a movie that doesn’t really have anything directly to do with watches, but has us thinking about some things pertaining to the industry. Ex Machina is Alex Garland’s 2014 directorial debut, and it’s a sci-fi story that explores the concept of artificial intelligence in an uncommonly thoughtful (and perhaps prescient)...

This week on the podcast, Blake, Kat, and Zach Kazan are on the mic to talk about some recent releases that have caught our attention, including a new world timer from Omega in green (and titanium), a Seiko 5 Sports limited edition for Snoopy fans, and a Hublot for coffee lovers. We’re also taking some questions from readers submitted through Worn & Wound+, our new (and completely free) Slack comm...

We’re up to episode 50 of A Week in Watches! This week we’ve got several new releases with little in common other than being new. That’s fine by us though. First up is the brutal Ollech & Wajs 8001, their first integrated bracelet sports watch in 50 years. Then we have a Bremont testing instrument turned watch. After, we check out two new offerings from Aera, one in blue the other in gray. And fin...

This episode is coming to you live from the Windup Watch Fair San Fransisco! This week, our Media Production Manager Kat Shoulder's sits down with  pro-photographer Zach Piña . They discuss the magic of one bag travel and how that simplification has carried over into editing. We'd love to hear from you, send us a DM or an email to let us know what you'd like us to dive into next!  To stay on top o...

This week on the podcast, Blake sits down with Phil Toledano, an artist, photographer, and watch collector who you might know from his @misterenthusiast Instagram handle, and his Viva Bastardo line of clothing and accessories. Phil has, by his own admission, taste that is somewhat peculiar, and a look through his IG feed reveals watches of shapes, sizes, and colors that even seasoned collectors mi...

This week in watches sees the return of the classic Sea-Chron diving chronograph from Zodiac. The watch has come back in multiple handsome colorways with full personality on display and case to match. See more details on the Sea-Chron in our intro here , and keep an eye out for a full review coming soon. Elsewhere, Seiko revealed yet another collaborative collection done with Rowing Blazers, this...

Blake and Ricardo discuss round 5 of the 2023 Formula 1 season: Miami. No DNFs, no yellow flags, and no holdups in this race - which is exactly what we were hoping for. But did it deliver on the drama? We break the race down, talk watch spotting at the opening, and look ahead to Imola.

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are back from a successful Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco, and the conversation turns to one of the show’s biggest new releases, The Twelve from Christopher Ward. Their integrated bracelet sports watch was an immediate sensation at Windup and on Instagram, where memes immediately drew comparisons to other notable (and much mo...

Welcome to Episode 5 of Time On Track, where Ricardo and Blake discuss round 4 of the 2023 Formula 1 season: the Azerbaijan GP through the streets of Baku. The race itself may have seemed rather uneventful, but there was plenty to discuss around the whole race weekend, including a frantic sprint race, and some fireworks in qualifying. We talk about what makes Sergio Perez such great performer arou...

This week, the Worn & Wound podcast is coming to you live from our stage at the Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco. We were so happy to have Stephen Pulvirent join us for this recording in front of an audience on day 2 of the fair. Stephen probably doesn’t need much of an introduction to most of our podcast listeners – he’s a veteran of the industry, and the former Manager of Editorial Operations...

We’ve got an exciting week of watch news this week for episode 47 of A Week In Watches, including a new integrated sport watch from Christopher Ward called The Twelve (we’ve got hands-on impressions of that watch coming soon), a surprising (in the best possible way) collab from Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin, and even some Pokemon thrown in for good measure. Plus, some incredible new dials fro...

This week on Time on Screen, Zach is joined by Tom Place, a professional stunt coordinator and avid watch enthusiast who brings a unique perspective to our shared hobby. He also has tons of stories from his years working as a stuntman and stunt coordinator for films and television, making him a fantastic guest for Time on Screen. Most recently, Tom worked on Poker Face, the Nataha Lyonne led serie...

This week on the podcast, Blake sits down with car collector Magnus Walker for a wide ranging discussion about cars, guitars, watches, and life. Magnus is a true enthusiast who uses the things he collects, whether that’s watches, cars, clothing, or anything else. Magnus talks about what draws him to the objects he’s interested in, and how he takes a design first approach but is also highly focused...

Today, Kat Shoulders host our Events Team Nelly Calhoun, Kyle Snarr, and Blake Malin to discuss the upcoming Windup Watch Fair!

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach are chatting about a range of topics. First up: the unique appeal of the Formex Essence, a watch that Blake just reviewed (in the lightweight Leggera line). Zach also just picked up a 39mm Essence, and there are a lot of fun features in these watches that add a ton of value to the entire package. They discuss a few new releases that caught the...

And we’re back for episode 45 of A Week in Watches. The dust from Watches & Wonders has settled, but there are still plenty of new releases to cover. This week we have tough-looking Timex Q with complications to spare. Seiko 5 has continued to trim down their sizes, and we’re excited about it. Zodiac has launched their weirdest Super Sea Wolf yet, and, finally, Autodromo puts a big engine in their...

Usually on Time on Screen, we look at notable movies from the past, but this week we’re switching things up a bit, and talking about what is unquestionably the most discussed show on television at the moment. Succession has just started its fourth and final season, and it’s a Worn & Wound favorite. When Zach and Ed Jelley decided to tackle the first three episodes of the season, they had no idea t...

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan reflect on Watches & Wonders, now that they’ve had a bit of time to digest everything they’ve seen. The show is always hectic, and there is just so much to see that it can be hard to process everything in the moment. But after a week or so, things start to settle, and that’s where we are here. Blake and Zach talk about some of the watches tha...

Welcome to episode 44 of A Week In Watches, a week where we recover from the hustle bustle of Watches & Wonders, and ponder some of the releases that may have slipped through the cracks. We talk about a new world timer watch from Ming, a few new watches from Frederique Constant, more hits from Chopard, and even a new LM Perpetual variant in steel from MB&F (more from the M.A.D. House coming soon!)...
