The Worn & Wound Podcast

“You cut him! You hurt him! You see? You see? He’s not a machine! He’s a man!” Another week of racing and how things have changed. Though Max Verstappen found himself in P1 this week, on the twist and turns of the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, he had to work for the win. Previous Grand Prix winner, (feels great to say that) Lando Norris, sensed blood in the water as we were treated to a maximum p...

Back in the summer of 2021, we took a stab at recasting watches in well known movies (and offering some of our favorite watches from movies as well). Today, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders return to this format, with a little help from our Worn & Wound+ Slack community. First, they go over some of their favorite recent (and not so recent) examples of watches in movies (and TV!), and then they humbly...

This week on the podcast we’re coming to you live from the recently completed Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco. Blake Malin hosts Zach Kazan, Kyle Snarr, and Garrett Jones (the newest member of the Worn & Wound team, and making his podcast debut!) for a debrief on the show. The team talks about their impressions of our new venue in San Francisco, the most impressive watches they saw over the wee...

The Miami GP weekend is just getting started. We cover all the sunny Sprint racing action with an in-person episode from the WindUp Fair in San Francisco with special guest (and major watch and motorsport enthusiast) Josh Shanks. Beyond just racing, some very interesting story lines are developing this season leading us to ask a few questions. Now that GOAT car designer Adrian Newey is officially...

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are joined by Ed Jelley to finally put a bow on Watches & Wonders 2024, discussing their favorite releases from the show and their overall impressions of this year’s slate of watches. Before the Watches & Wonders talk, however, there’s a big new release from one of our favorite brands to discuss. Christopher Ward dropped the new Twel...

The Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco is just days away! Join Blake Malin, Kyle Snarr, and Nelly Calhoun for a preview in this special bonus episode of the Worn & Wound podcast.  Take an early peek at the Windup Watch Fair San Francisco right here . 

Over the years, Garrick Watchmakers has become one of our favorite independent brands. Their distinct design language draws on the heritage of classic British watchmaking, and the watches themselves are almost entirely bespoke. Truly, each one is made to order, and clients have enormous latitude in picking out nearly every detail. Dave Brailsford is Garrick’s cofounder and joins Zach Weiss and Zac...

Another week of racing and this time we find ourselves at the Chinese GP. Last time F1 graced this track, it was 2019 and many were complaining about Mercedes dominance. In 2024, Red Bull is the one with a stranglehold on the paddock and it showed in both the sprint and race with Max Verstappen taking the checkered flag in both events. Yet the storylines were still plentiful. We had Daniel Ricciar...

Grassland explores the failures of the criminal justice system by focusing on one family in suburban New Jersey, and the draconian cannabis laws impacting their lives and the lives of those in their community. The film is a family drama above all, with authentic and grounded performances from Quincy Isaiah as well as Mia Maestro, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, and Jeff Kober in starring roles. Grassland effe...

The Empire Strikes Back! Had there been any doubt as to the dominance of Red Bull after the Australian GP, the team quickly laid waste to their skeptics. With a 1-2 finish, they re-established the chokehold they have on this season of racing. Yet even with this display of excellence, the Japan GP still gave us a plethora of storylines to dive into this week. We had different tire strategies across...

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are joined by  Xavier de Roquemaurel, the CEO of Czapek, one of our favorite independent brands. As you’ll hear in this interview, Xavier has an energy for watches that is unmatched, and he provides his candid opinions in this conversation on a range of topics that many watch industry CEOs will not broach publicly. Of course, ther...

Episode 77 of A Week in Watches is going to be slightly different. This episode has two hosts and no script! With the big event happening so soon (the next episode will be made from Watches & Wonders), we figured getting ready with a little Q and A would be fun. That said, two very different watches with prominent moon phase complications were also worth covering. Join Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss in...

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are once again turning to our Worn & Wound+ community to answer your questions. This week, they’re focused specifically on Watches & Wonders, which is less than two weeks away, which means that we are (hopefully) in the last stages of planning for the big show. Questions, as you’d expect, cover a variety of topics, from the food in Geneva, to...

It finally happened. For the first time in more than a year of racing, Max Verstappen had a DNF. Opening the door wide open for challengers on the rest of the grid. While also finally answering the question the higher ups at Red Bull have always wanted answered: can Checo pick up the pieces in situations like this and bring the car home with at least a podium? That question may have been answered...

This week on the podcast, Zach and Kat are joined by Ed Jelley to chat about two of the biggest watch releases of the year so far: new divers from Seiko and a brand new white dialed Speedmaster Professional from Omega. These new watches generated a lot of buzz when they were unveiled within days of each other recently, and with Ed owning both a Speedy Pro and a prior version of the Seiko 62MAS inf...

This week on Time on Screen, Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and Blake Malin sit around a Sand Worm popcorn bucket and talk about the biggest movie of the year to this point: Dune Part Two . We don’t always cover new releases on Time on Screen, but with a movie this big we couldn’t not discuss it. Of course, it has a fairly notable watch tie-in , but the focus of this conversation is mostly our shared imm...

Welcome to episode 76 of A Week in Watches. As said in the last episode, much of the next episode, which is this episode, will be dedicated to the British Watchmaker’s Day. An event that took place on Saturday, March 9th, in London, the British Watchmaker’s Day hosted over 40 brands and 1,000 guests for a very successful first go. But before we go over that, we first have to look at a couple of ne...

On today’s episode of Changing Gears, Kat is joined by Ben Carpenter, Marketing Director at Camera West . Ben’s been an avid photographer for most of his life and we chat about his high school days working with cameras, his big move across the country, and why he loves working at Camera West. We also spend a good amount of time chatting about the new Leica SL3. We discuss who this camera was made...

This week, Zach welcomes Christopher Chew to the podcast. Christopher is a watch collector with a materials science background, and has experience in a variety of fields including aviation, apparel, and in the startup space, where he’s been involved in some truly cutting edge projects. Christopher has a really interesting perspective on watches and sees the materials they’re made of as a new front...

Can Redbull be matched, let alone be beaten? For the second Grand Prix of the year, F1 headed to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, a track where drivers spend most of their time at full throttle, navigating fast corners and long straights. Two things the RB20 seems to enjoy quite nicely as we saw a Red Bull 1-2 once again at the end of this race weekend. With the team now on cruise control, we wonder i...

On this special Oscar preview episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan welcomes Kyle Snarr to the podcast to talk about all things Academy Awards, ahead of the movie industry’s big night on Sunday. Zach and Kyle offer their predictions on who they think will take home trophies in the major categories, and also discuss who they’d give the big awards to if it were completely up to them. Be sure to list...
