The Worn & Wound Podcast

Pop quiz, hotshot: what’s the 90s classic that gets mentioned on the Worn & Wound podcast more than we can possibly keep track of? It’s Speed , of course, and in this new episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan and Blake Buettner discuss the 90s action movie that isn’t just one of the best films of its kind from that decade, but an all time great watch spotting movie as well.  If you’re a regular po...

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’ve got Blake Buettner, Patrick Marlett, Thomas Calara, and Zach Weiss talking about a wide range of topics. First and foremost, Patrick hasn’t seen The Big Lebowski , and the entire team needs to take a minute to adjust to this distressing new information. Watches are eventually discussed as well, including a new and very difficult to acquire Porsche Desig...

On this episode of a Week in Watches we cover a lot of territory. We start in Geneva with the GPHG, taking a look at a handful of this year’s winners, and then head to the UK to go offroad with Bamford and Land Rover. From there we go flying with Massena Lab and Matthey-Tissot, diving with the new Super Squale, and finally to Japan for the new Chronograph 1 Mk 2 by Kurono. This week’s episode is s...

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Kazan, and Patrick Marlett discuss watches, gaming, a very fancy tourbillon with a Vantablack dial, and, of course, proper grammar. But the main topic for this episode is the GPHG awards, and the very idea of awarding watches at all. Should we really be pitting watches against each other? Is there a better way to recognize watchmaking greatness that w...

Another week’s gone by, which means it’s time for A Week in Watches. On this episode we take a look at collaboration between A Collected Man and R.W. Smith , some new titanium watches from the ever-minimal Unimatic , a fantastic new GMT from Gavox , and Farer’s revival of one of my favorite models. Check that out below, and if you enjoy the episode, be sure to like and subscribe! This week’s episo...

Zach’s wrist check: IWC Chronograph Ceratanium Green Hoyt Strap Patrick’s wrist check: Grand Seiko SBGN027 Blake’s wrist check: Omega Speedmaster Trafford Crossroads Review Parmigiani TondaPF 36mm Fears Brunswick ‘Pure’ Mr. Jones Watches

Strap on your favorite watch, take a seat, plug-in your headphones and/or crank up the volume, because this A Week in Watches episode has some epic stuff. We start off with a playful collab between Louis Erard and Seconde Seconde with a slightly spooky theme, and then quickly descend to the deepest depths of the ocean with the first titanium Rolex . Next, we get overexcited by the new Anno 42 by O...

Should watches exist in their own space, or are they in fact just a small part of the broader world of gear? This panel, moderated by Worn & Wound’s Kyle Snarr, digs into the crossovers between watches and everyday carry products. Panelists include: Ryan Coulter of the James Brand; Jon Gaffney of Tornek Rayville; and Kat Shoulders of Worn & Wound.

Doing the wrist check. Telling the story of your latest find. This panel, moderated by RedBar CEO Kathleen McGivney, explores how the love of watches brings people together, and what the future of staying connected—online or in-person—holds. From RedBar to WindUp, the watch community around the globe is formed from all walks of life, and there are a myriad of ways we explore this passion. Whether...

On the latest episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are diving deep into a wormhole on a journey to the heart of the universe. Contact , Robert Zemeckis’s 1997 follow up to Forrest Gump , is on tap this week. It’s a personal favorite among several Worn & Wound team members, and has an inherently time centered plot device (and some surprising connections to watch enthusiasm in gen...

This week on the podcast, Blake, Ed Jelley, and Zach Kazan recap the recently completed Windup Watch Fair in New York City, focusing on some of the biggest surprises of the weekend. Blake also talks about his recent trip to Green Bay, where he met a certain quarterback who happens to be a Zenith ambassador – we get a full cheese curd report. All that, plus Zach and Producer Josh reveal their true...

We’re back from a little (very little) rest after Windup Watch Fair NYC 2022 for episode 21 of A Week in Watches! This episode contains three stories, eight watches, and one epic movement. We start with a look at the new indie-minded Massena Lab Magraph, then to a rare triple-collab by Rowing Blazers, Eric Wind, and Seiko 5 . Lastly, we are summoned to Switzerland by the chiming of a new and incre...

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake, Zach, Patrick, and Kat bring you a podcasting first: a live on air bracelet sizing. How did it go? You’ll have to listen to the whole episode to find out, but let’s just say Patrick’s recent acquisition (the unboxing was recorded, another first for the Worn & Wound podcast) inspired a long digression about bracelets, how to size them, and the horror st...

This week on A Week in Watches, we’re out of the studio for Windup Watch Fair NYC 2022. I apologize for publishing a bit later than usual, but we had a hectic weekend! In this episode, I take you through several watches released at this year’s Windup Watch Fair NYC from a killer new GMT from Nodus to a rugged new military diver from MKII. You’ll also get a peak inside of Windup Watch Fair NYC, whi...

This week on the podcast, Kat and Zach K. are shamelessly stealing a great idea from our friends over at The Grey NATO (maybe you’ve heard of it). This is our version of the “One Watch” draft, where we choose one watch at various price points that could serve as our only watch if we were to embrace a single watch lifestyle. It’s a fun thought experiment for two people who have way, way too many wa...

On episode 19 of A Week in Watches we take a trip around the world without leaving the studio. We start out in Germany with Nomos , which gave me another opportunity to try to say Glashütte, then we head to France to check out Serica’s latest drop. Afterward, we head to Singapore to see BOLDR’s new GMT, and finally Switzerland with a touch of Japan, by way of the TAG Heuer x Mario Kart chronograph...

The Time on Screen podcast is back! This week, in celebration of the newly released Benrus Series #3061 , Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr are diving deep into Bullitt , the 1968 classic starring Steve McQueen as a San Francisco detective trying to get to the bottom of a mob conspiracy.  Bullitt is mostly remembered these days for its incredible car chase sequence through real San Francisco streets, but...

To kick things off on this week’s podcast, Blake is joined by Worn & Wound co-founder Blake Malin and, making her W&W podcast debut, Nelly Calhoun, Worn & Wound’s events manager. They’re here to give you a preview of all things Windup Watch Fair, which is fast approaching and moving to a new location in New York City. Not only will this Windup see more brands than ever before, but we’ll have dedic...

This week on A Week In Watches we’ve got a fairly diverse group of releases. Our first stop is some Seiko Prospex divers made out of titanium, then we head to an Ollech & Wajs with a cool bezel, from there we’re off to space with Urwerk and their new, nerdtastic 120, and finally, we’re back to Germany for some old-school crafts by Benzinger . We’ve got two (house) sponsors this week. The first is...

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan joins Blake and Thomas to talk about one of the most unexpected releases of the year: the Norqain Wild One. Zach was in Switzerland for the launch of the Wild One, which employs a proprietary carbon fiber material called Norteq that makes it incredibly lightweight, robust, and can even be colored. Zach shares his thoughts on the watch and the rollout, and talks...

This week on A Week in Watches we take a look at a few new tool watches that came out. There’s a watch built for Martians by Omega , but you can use it too. Then, Christopher Ward updates the three original watches in their Military collection. Lastly, Mühle Glashütte, builds off of their beloved SAR line with a new watch rendered in my favorite metal, titanium. But first, I go a little more in-de...

This week on the show, we’ve got Blake, Thomas, Zach and Patrick in the studio to talk about some of the more interesting recent releases to come across our desks. Norqain’s new Wild ONE is at the top of mind, and the gang puts on their materials scientist hats to ponder the pros and cons of carbon fiber, and wonder what this new Norteq material is all about. The team also discusses the latest rel...

We’ve made it to episode 16 of A Week in Watches. That’s four months! A quarter year! Crazy. Anyway, this week we cover the news from Norqain (including a potential interpretation of how the first conversation between Jean Claude Biver and the board at Norqain went), the return of the Vulcain Cricket (with a debate on what sound crickets really make), some new Farers , and a perpetual monopusher c...

Today, we’re continuing our run of watch spotting in movies in a new series we’re calling Time On Screen . This new Worn & Wound podcast series will focus on the intersection between watches and movies, covering everything from classics, box office hits, and lesser-known titles that we think are worth discussing. Today, it’s all about the watches of The Abyss , James Cameron’s 1989 underwater sci-...

Today on the podcast, we’re talking about the age old question that has been plaguing all of us: are you a collector, or an enthusiast? Blake wrote about this conundrum in self-identification a few weeks ago , and we thought it would be good fodder for a slightly deeper dive. So enjoy this chat with Blake, Zach Kazan, Kat, and Patrick covering the finer points of what it means to collect versus…en...
