The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week’s episode of A Week in Watches starts off with a little catch-up after Geneva Watch Days. We go from the Apple Watch Ultra to the Monta Skyques t and then to Grand Seiko in a quick sweep of releases. Then, we’re off to some newness from Timex x Todd Snyder and Longines , and finally a question from the audience! It’s been a minute since I’ve taken a question from the audience, so I was e...

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach are talking about the just announced Apple Watch Ultra. It’s Apple’s most advanced smartwatch to date (and the largest) but is it a tool watch? It’s a question we’ve seen bandied about in all of the usual places, and we get into it here. Then, it’s off to Switzerland to chat through some of the key releases from Geneva Watch Days, from a dramy...

Well, last week I got distracted by a certain dive watch by a certain brand (it was Tudor) and didn’t get to my coverage of Geneva Watch Days 2022. So, this week, I highlight five releases from GWD that were of interest from brands ranging in style and price from Doxa to Frederique Constant to MB&F. Sit back and enjoy a little trip to Geneva. This week’s sponsor is the Windup Watch Shop, which rec...

It’s a full house today on the Worn & Wound podcast, so brace yourselves for a spirited discussion on the watch that broke the internet last week: the all new Tudor Pelagos 39. Everyone’s got a take on the new, smaller Tudor diver, and we’re no exception. What do you think? Is this a must have dive watch? Will you be buying one? And, be honest: were you pronouncing “Pelagos” correctly before Tudor...

This week I try and fail to cover some Geneva Watch Days highlights. You see, right in the middle of everything, Tudor had to go and release the Pelagos 39. Not just a variation of an existing watch, the Pelagos 39 is likely to become the new “go-to” model by the brand. I go over where the Pelagos came from and what makes this new model different. And then… I still fail to talk about Geneva Watch...

Today on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, Zach Kazan, and Patrick Marlett are in studio to discuss a question that's come up a lot recently: what's with all these "pro" watches? Did it start with the Speedmaster? Should we consider our own professions before committing to buy something like a Black Bay Pro, or the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer GMT with a similar designation? What's in a name, an...
