The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week’s episode is sponsored by Whatnot, a live-stream auction app whe...

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, Kat Shoulders, and Zach Kazan are taking a break from dedicated watch talk (mostly) and gathering around the mic to bring you some of our personal recommendations for a whole host of things. From movies, to booze, to gear and apparel, we like a whole lot of stuff, and our interests inform how we approach watches in unexpected ways....

Welcome to episode 34 of A Week in Watches, where we’ve got managing editor Blake Buettner jumping back in to discuss a handful of new releases, and one important survey. We’re kicking things off with the biggest news of the week that’s focused on something very small from Omega, and that is their new Spirate Balance, which we introduce on the site right here , and react to in real time right here...

This week on the Time on Screen, Zach is joined by Kat Shoulders to talk about Arrival , Denis Villeneuve’s 2016 first contact tale starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. Arrival is the kind of movie that Time on Screen was made for: deeply interested in time itself as a theme, with a narrative structure that contorts and reconstructs our sense of time throughout. If you’ve seen the film, this is a...

This week on the podcast, the editorial team is in the studio to talk about all the watches they saw at LVMH Watch Week in New York.

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. Featurin...

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...

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 w...

This week we’re looking at some shocking news from the Metaverse and H. Moser, and their latest Endeavour Centre Seconds called the Genesis. It’s part QR code, part haute horology, and entirely meta. We’ve also got news from Kurono about a new boutique in Tokyo, and three new watches to celebrate. Each features beautiful handmade urushi lacquer dials. Finally, we’ll take a brief look at some aucti...

On this week’s episode of A Week in Watches we have a trio of great releases and then I give you My 2 Cents on something that has always bugged me. The first release is actually a finale, the last of the Timex Giorgio Galli S1 watches. Afterward, we peek at the new and lovely Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Starwheel , followed by a couple of Alpinas with anachronistic movements. Lastly, I bemoan pesky...

This week, Time on Screen is putting a crew together to take down the ultimate prize: a deep dive into Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven .
