The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Garrett Jones for our monthly Q&A episode. Questions this month cover topics like Grand Seiko’s release strategy, the best straps for summer, and, of course, condiments (we’re about the trademark “Condiment Corner” for use on this podcast). We also got a lot of questions on the new watches from Swatch and Audemars Piguet, which at the time of this recording were not yet announced. Literally minutes after hitting “stop” on the recording, the press release came through, and all was revealed. So you’ll hear a lot of speculation on this podcast about a watch that by the time you hear the episode will have been largely digested by the watch community, but hopefully listeners enjoy seeing how wrong (and how right!) we were in some of our thoughts on what might come from these very different brands.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, the team is back from San Francisco, and yet another great edition of the Windup Watch Fair. Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are on the mic to recap the fair via a series of rapid fire questions covering their favorite versions of the new Christopher Ward Sealander (there are a bunch), to their favorite brands making Windup debuts, and even their favorite dining experiences in what is one of the country’s great food cities. There’s a lot to talk about, but we also want to hear from you. If you made it to San Francisco this weekend and attended the fair, what caught your eye? Let us know in the comments.

• Time on Screen: Zodiac

This week, the Time on Screen podcast returns! Ahead of the Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco, we’re talking about Zodiac, one of the great San Francisco movies and a favorite movie by David Fincer, one of our favorite filmmakers. Zach Kazan welcomes Kat Shoulders to the conversation, and they both have a deep appreciation for this film and have a lot to say about it. They run through some of their favorite scenes, a little production history, and discuss where this film sits in the San Francisco movie canon and David Fincher’s filmography.

Our team is back from Switzerland, and this week on the podcast Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and Kat Shoulders are recapping their time at Watches & Wonders. It was a busy week, filled with meetings, watches, lots of coffee, and very little sleep. 

This conversation covers several brands the team met with, including Tudor, Grand Seiko, Rolex, and more. They also discuss some brands that made their Watches & Wonders debut in 2026, as well as many of the ancillary shows to Watches & Wonders – there are more than ever!

Let us know in the comments what you thought of this year’s releases: favorites, disappointments, and questions you’d like answered.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are previewing Watches & Wonders 2026, which at this point is just days away from opening. They discuss some of the fairly large changes that are in store for this year’s show, including the addition of Audemars Piguet and Sinn, a big change in location for Moser, and a host of satellite events happening at the same time throughout Geneva. There are also, of course, a few of our famously bad Tudor predictions. It’s going to be a big year for the Black Bay P01, we just know it. 

There’s also a pretty big launch today, at the moment this podcast drops. We’re finally seeing the new-look Universal Geneve, revived by Breitling CEO Georges Kern. This episode features a fairly deep dive on the Polerouter, as well as some speculation about where UG might be headed, and we also try to anticipate the enthusiast community’s reaction. 

But before all that: Zach Weiss launched a watch brand! OraOrea, Zach’s new independent brand, launched on Friday with the Coriolis Pointer Date, and in this episode he shares some of his thoughts on the rollout and reception of the new collection.

This episode of Changing Gears finds Kat and Garrett settling back into conversation after some time away, catching up through the lens of the gear that’s been shaping their daily lives. What starts with a familiar wrist and gear check quickly expands into a broader discussion on tools—watches, knives, cameras, and even keyboards—and how they intersect with both work and personal expression. There’s a thoughtful throughline on craftsmanship, particularly as Garrett shares the realities of launching a small-batch knife brand, highlighting the time, skill, and infrastructure required to bring a product to life. The conversation also touches on the practical side of creative work, from experimenting with lighter travel setups to navigating the limitations of mobile editing workflows. As always, the episode reflects the overlap between enthusiast culture and professional output, closing with a look ahead to upcoming travel, trade shows, and the shared experiences that continue to shape both perspective and process.

We hope you like this new podcast format and really appreciate all the listeners! Kat has some awesome interviews in the works for those of you that love gear!

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are on the mic to talk about some of their recent travels, both of which involved seeing new releases from Swatch Group brands, coincidentally debuting on the very same day. They also happen to be two of the most discussed releases of the year so far, for very different reasons. Zach Kazan was in Dallas right before Windup to see the new Longines Hydroconquest, and Zach Weiss just got back from a whirlwind trip to Switzerland to see the hotly anticipated Constellation Observatory collection. This conversation covers not just our thoughts on the watches, but a read on the various reactions across the watch community, some of which were genuinely surprising.

It’s watch show season! This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are catching up right after our Windup Watch Fair in Dallas to recap that show as well as British Watchmakers’ Day, which took place the week before. It’s the start of a busy season that peaks with Watches & Wonders next month, which of course is more than just Watches & Wonders, and really more of a widespread celebration of watches across the city of Geneva. 

For now, the focus is on wrapping our thoughts around British Watchmakers’ Day, now in its third year, and seemingly growing annually. Zach and Zach highlight some of their favorite watches from the day, and talk about the event we held with Arken, also quickly becoming a tradition.

If you attended British Watchmakers’ Day or Windup Dallas, be sure to let us know in the comments what you saw at each event that really stood out to you. And a special shout out to anyone who came to our event with Arken in London - we had a great time and can’t wait to do it again next year.

This week’s podcast is a preview of our upcoming Windup Watch Fair in Dallas! Hosted by Blake Malin with guests Kyle Starr and Nelly Calhoun, the team talks about what to expect this weekend as Windup comes to Texas for the second year in a row.

This year’s Windup is a chance to see over 40 watch brands in person, try watches on your wrist, meet the people behind the brands, and connect with other enthusiasts. Shout out to our lead sponsors Christopher Ward, Junghans, and Oris. And best of all, it’s free and open to everyone. 

The show takes place at Hickory Street Annex on Friday and Saturday, March 13th & 14th from 12 PM to 6 PM, and on Sunday, March 15th from 12 PM to 5 PM.

We’ll have a packed show floor with brands from across the industry, plus a bar & lounge, multiple activations, and even a Block Party & BBQ presented by Bulova on Saturday evening. 

So if you’re in the Dallas area this weekend, come by and say hi. You can find the full schedule and sponsor list at windupwatchfair.com. Hope to see you there!

This week on the podcast, Kat Shoulders is back to chat with Zach Kazan about her recent experience with IWC in Los Angeles. Most of what Kat saw she can’t discuss until Watches & Wonders embargoes lift, but the brand did drop a brand new version of their Portugieser chronograph in Ceratanium, and it has inspired a wide range of commentary across the watch community. Kat talks about her impressions of the watch itself, what makes Ceratanium special, and what its use in the Portugieser collection might mean for the future. 

They also chat about three recent pilot chronographs that have all been released in the last week or so from Sinn, Benrus, and Hanhart, three very different flavors of chronograph that still sit within a very specific niche. Be sure to let us know in the comments which of these chronographs you prefer, or if you’re more interested in the “murdered out” look of the new Portugieser.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Blake Malin for our monthly Q&A podcast. This is a really fun episode with a great variety of questions covering a huge range of topics, watch related and otherwise. Zach, Blake, and Zach chat about how they use AI, what we do when a watch comes in for review that underwhelms, and what Worn & Wound might look like ten years from now. There’s also a spirited conversation about what we all like to put on our hot dogs. We’re covering the really important stuff this month.

This week on the podcast, Zach welcomes Kat Shoulders to the podcast for a long overdue collection update. Both Zach and Kat have picked up some new watches in the last few months, and in this conversation they dig into what they picked up and why, and the stories behind the purchases themselves. There’s some fun overlap here, but still plenty of variety. We’ll think you’ll enjoy the conversation. 

We want to know what you’ve picked up recently as well, so please let us know in the show notes if you’ve added a new watch to your collection recently, or purged some rarely worn pieces to make room for a future addition.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Ed Jelley for a conversation about their first luxury watch purchases. Entering the “luxury” world as a watch enthusiast is a strange phenomenon and Zach and Ed unpack what it means both practically and emotionally as collectors. They also spend some time trying to define what luxury really means in the watch world, how it differs in our community compared to others, and how much weight to really put in it anyway. 

They also catch up on some new releases (including Ed’s take on those new Speedmasters), the Super Bowl, and offer up a few cultural recommendations at the end of the show.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking about regrets. Yes, we’ve had a few. Zach Kazan welcomes Kat Shoulders and Zach Weiss to the pod this week to talk about the watches they’ve bought and sold that they wish they hadn’t, and even some takes and loosely held opinions that have fallen out of favor. This one is a real stroll down memory lane and as you’d expect touches on a great deal of our participant’s collecting history. 

Before the team gets into their watch regrets, there’s a brief discussion of a few recent releases that simply because of their release dates feel paired in our minds. The new watch from Toledano & Chan and the latest Speedmaster represent two sides of the enthusiast spectrum in really interesting ways (and happen to be priced very similarly). 

Let us know what you think of the Speedies as well as the latest from Toledano & Chan in the comments below. We’d also love to hear about your watch regrets, so feel free to share – this is a safe space.

Worn & Wound co-founders, Blake Malin and Zach Weiss, return for another episode of the Worn Out podcast. At the end of last year, Blake and Zach sat down with Mark Cho, co-founder of the menswear retailer The Armoury, to discuss his new watch brand, Temporal Works. Described by Mark as “the navy blazer” of watches, they get into the goals of the new brand, the design of the first watch, as well as general topics around men’s style. For more information on Temporal Works, check out our article from the launch here.

This week on the podcast we’re talking all things LVMH Watch Week. Last week’s launches from the LVMH brands served as the unofficial start to a new year of watch releases, with novelties on display from TAG Heuer, Zenith, Hublot, and other brands. In this episode, Zach Kazan chats with Zach Weiss, Garrett Jones, and Liam O’Donnell about their thoughts on the new watches, what they may or may not predict for the rest of the year, and of course what worked and what didn’t when they saw the new pieces in person. 

Let us know in the comments what you think of the new LVMH Watch Week releases, we’d love to hear your thoughts on specific novelties or what you might glean about brand strategy from what was unveiled last week.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Liam O’Donnell to peel back the curtain on watch press trips. Zach just got back from Colorado with Oris, so the topic is front of mind. We reached out to members of our Worn & Wound+ Slack channel to solicit questions on press trips, how they work, and how they influence (or don’t influence) our coverage of brands and their watches. 

Let us know if you have any additional questions about press trips – this is a fun topic to discuss and this proved to be a great discussion. Hit us up in the comments with your thoughts.

Happy new year! For this first episode of the Worn & Wound podcast in 2026, the team is here to check in on what they did over their winter break. Zach Kazan hosts Liam O’Donnell and Myra Shallan to discuss all the watch related and non-watch related shenanigans they got up to over their time off. Liam and Myra both ventured outside of New York City to visit friends and family, while Zach hunkered down, turned off notifications on every device, and watched a bunch of movies. No surprise there! This is a fun conversation with lots of little tangents about traveling with watches, vintage watch collecting, public transit, and maybe even a spirited conversation about Mr. Wonderful himself.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Sam Amis to the podcast to talk about the intersection between pocket knife and watch enthusiasm. Sam is a Worn & Wound contributor, industrial designer, and knife and EDC industry veteran. He just wrote an article that seeks to show in a very specific way the ways in which the knife and watch worlds overlap from the perspective of a designer. Sam has a lot of thoughts on the things that bind these communities together, and it was a pleasure to chat with him. Garrett Jones, Worn & Wound’s photographer who entered the watch community through the EDC world, also joins the podcast to provide his perspective as an enthusiast in both communities.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Liam O’Donnell is back and chatting with Zach Kazan about their favorite non-Swiss watches. They explore the idea of future non-Swiss icons, and what the importance of “Swiss Made” really is in the current watchmaking era. We’ve never been shy about highlighting great watches made around the world, and this conversation features a huge variety of future classics from some of our favorite brands.

Before that, however, there’s also an extended conversation about a pair of releases from a pair of powerhouse brands: Tudor and Omega. The new, smaller Tudor Ranger and a streamlined Planet Ocean continue to be a major topic of conversation in the watch community, and Zach and Liam weigh in with their thoughts here.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Griffin Bartsch back to the pod to talk about the fall auction season, including the sale of a very expensive steel Patek that has the entire watch world buzzing. But that, of course, was not the only cool watch to hit the block recently, and both Zach and Griffin have identified a few additional lots that have made some news, and some that have flown well under the radar. 

As it happens, our recording lined up almost exactly with the end of the GPHG ceremony, so you’ll also hear our initial reactions to the big winners from the watch industry’s glitziest night. Let us know in the comments if you have any thoughts on the recent GPHG winners, and who you think might have been snubbed.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we turn our attention to EDC. Zach Kazan is joined by Liam O’Donnell and Garrett Jones, two of our most EDC-connected team members at Worn & Wound. This episode is a general EDC check-in of sorts. The team chats about some EDC items they’ve picked up in the last few months, trends spotted recently, the seasonality of EDC choices as we head into the colder months, and, of course, we talk travel and packing strategies.

Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode on the movie this podcast was literally made for: Back to the Future. Longtime readers and listeners might recall that in the summer of 2020 we recorded an episode of the podcast on this very filmthat laid the groundwork for what would eventually become Time on Screen. If there was an ever a movie worth dipping into for a second time, it’s Back to the Future. More than that, we have good reason to. It’s back in theaters for its big 40th anniversary, and Casio even released a special watch to celebrate. 

This episode features Zach Kazan as host, and he’s joined by Blake Malin and Kyle Snarr to dig into why this film resonates so strongly across generations 40 years after its initial release. Much of the conversation is centered on personal experiences with the movie, including early memories of seeing it in childhood. And, of course, we talk about the watches (and clocks!) seen throughout.

Experience Enthusiasm

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Zach Weiss and Liam O’Donnell to the podcast to discuss a topic we’ve been thinking about privately for a while and have heard grumblings about elsewhere. Today we’re asking a big question: is the watch industry out of ideas? 

We’ve all felt it in one way or another. There’s a sense among certain enthusiasts that brands are repeating themselves, churning out conservative products that are proven sellers at the expense of innovating. But is that an insidery point of view? Maybe “innovation” isn’t exactly what this centuries old industry is really about? We chat about how some brands play it safe, constantly trying to recapture the past (and why that’s appealing to a lot of us) and how others are a little more daring, and how that impacts the entire industry.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach welcomes Griffin Bartsch back to the Worn & Wound podcast for a new entry in our Collection Update series. Griffin picked up an IWC Mark XX earlier this year, and in this conversation he explains why that was the right watch for him at this particular moment and how he’s been living with it over the past several months as a daily driver. And Zach picked up a new watch from Typsim, the Seattle based indie known for their unique lume compound and true gilt dials. The Guide XLH, the watch Zach couldn’t resist at Windup, has a funky look to it that’s just a little strange, which kind of fits in exactly with what he’s been interested in lately. 

Before Griffin and Zach chat about their new watches, they spend a bit of time recapping the Windup Watch Fair in New York City, the watches they enjoyed from the show, and, yes, the lines to get in the door. Be sure to check back here soon for more from the New York City edition of Windup, including videos of all the panels from Windup weekend.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Garrett Jones and Ricardo Sime to the show to talk about potential alternatives to some of the most popular luxury watches. This idea, over the years, has proven to be one of the central questions and debates among watch enthusiasts. If you started your watch journey on the forums before Instagram was the central hub of the watch community, you no doubt came across countless threads asking for advice on alternatives to the most iconic (and often expensive) luxury watches. We look at two watches, the Rolex Submariner and the Cartier Tank, and come up with a handful of alternatives for each. We also discuss the merits of thinking about collecting in this way, and if an alternative can ever really scratch the itch for the “real” thing. 

We’d love to know your thoughts. Have you ever picked up one watch as an alternative to another? What do you think of our picks as substitutes for the Tank and Submariner? Let us know in the comments or find us on Instagram and let us know.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Hamza Masood back to the podcast. Hamza Masood is Head of Partnerships at WatchCharts, a website whose mission is to provide as much pricing data and transparency as possible to the watch buying public and the larger watch industry. It’s a truly invaluable resource, and we think you should bookmark it and refer to it whenever you find yourself shopping for a new or pre-owned watch. In this episode we get a market update from Hamza and a broad overview of the state of the pre-owned watch world, including a few notable surprises.  

Hamza also tells us about his latest project, the American Watchmaking Directory. Hamza has always had an interest in American watchmaking and the state of the industry here, and the American Watchmaking Directory is a bit of a passion project that has been in the works for some time. It seeks to document as many American watch brands as possible, and will eventually also list suppliers and manufacturers of other watch components based in America as well. The idea is that it can be a place not just for collectors and enthusiasts to research American watchmaking, but to connect brands with each other and suppliers so they might collaborate more easily.

What better way to celebrate the beginning of fall than with our monthly Q&A podcast? This week, Zach welcomes Kat, Garrett, and Devin to the podcast to once again field questions from our audience, submitted via our Worn & Wound+ Slack channel as well as Instagram and YouTube. The questions were great this month, covering a wide range of topics on everything from our fantasy watch travel destinations to our personal wallet preferences and other EDC topics. The team also weighs on the age old question: dive watch with a GMT bezel, or GMT with a diver bezel? Let us know where you stand in the comments.

Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode about one of the most acclaimed movies of its era, Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood. When it arrived in 2007, There Will Be Blood was hailed as a masterpiece almost immediately, and its stature has only grown since then. With a new PTA movie, One Battle After Another, now just days away from release, we thought now would be a great time to revisit his magnum opus. 

Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Liam O’Donnell for this episode, and together they discuss their initial reactions to the film when they first saw it, how they’ve grown with the movie over the years, and the complex themes and ideas that Anderson is playing with in TWBB. They also spend some time discussing the incredible Daniel Day-Lewis performance at the center of the film, and what makes him and this role in particular so special. Finally, Zach, Kat, and Liam each pick their personal top three PTA movies.

Show Notes 

• There Will Be Blood x “Born to Run”
• Men, women, and There Will Be Blood

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan puts Kat Shoulders and Liam O’Donnell through an excruciating thought experiment: could we simplify our watch ownership to a one watch collection? It seems like a truly exotic concept when you work in the watch industry or are otherwise deep into the hobby, but it’s also an idea that can help focus what’s really important to us in a watch. Zach, Kat, and Liam each pick a watch that could potentially be a fabled “one watch” and also discuss the practical and theoretical concerns about owning a single watch when we’re all so accustomed to a wider variety. 

Also in this episode, Liam updates us on a recent trip he took with Tudor (a brand that factors into our one watch collection discussion in a major way). Liam was recently in Canada with Tudor and their cycling team for an inside look at a major cycling race. Keep your eyes on Worn & Wound for more coverage of that event very soon.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking all things Geneva Watch Days 2025. Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Devin Pennypacker to recap the event and the most interesting watches that came out of it. Before getting into the watches themselves, the group talks about their impressions of the event itself and its relative importance on the watch industry calendar. This was Zach W’s first time at Geneva Watch Days (and Zach K’s second), and the show itself is rapidly changing, so there’s a lot to talk about on this front. 

While the releases at Geneva Watch Days aren’t as splashy as the novelties you’ll find at Watches & Wonders, there are still plenty of gems to be found, the event represents a great opportunity for small brands to get a ton of attention. That was really the case this year, as you’ll hear Zach and Zach that some of the watches that most impressed them came from true indies (at all price points), like Behrens and Dennison. 

Let us know what you thought of this year’s crop of Geneva Watch Days releases in the comments below.

In this episode of Changing Gears, host Kat Shoulders sits down with Betty Van of Switch and Click, the creator behind one of the most popular YouTube channels in the mechanical keyboard space along with W&W co-founders Blake Malin and Zach Weiss. 

The W&W team and Betty kick things off with a wrist check and keyboard check before diving into the story of how Switch and Click began, the inspiration behind the channel, and the moment Betty realized it could turn into something much bigger than a hobby. They explore what makes gear so addictive, from the sensory joy of clicks and textures to the way personal objects can become an extension of who we are.

Betty shares her favorite discoveries in the keyboard world, her tips for anyone buying their first board, and how she balances making in-depth content that’s still approachable for beginners. The conversation also covers building community, staying authentic in a niche that can sometimes feel intimidating, and Betty’s newest passion: watches.

Whether you’re a seasoned keyboard builder, a gear enthusiast, or just curious about what makes these objects so fascinating, this episode is full of insights, laughs, and inspiration.

We hope you like this new podcast format and really appreciate all the listeners! Kat has some awesome interviews in the works for those of you that love gear!

Zach is joined by Kat Shoulders and Garrett Jones as they field questions from our Worn & Wound+ Slack channel and YouTube audience. As always, the questions are great and a huge range of topics are covered, from the concept of luxury field watches to the brands we most associate with our colleagues. Thanks to everyone who submitted a question for this episode! If your question wasn’t answered in this episode, we’ll be back next month with a new Q&A episode and another opportunity to pose questions to members of the Worn & Wound team. 

Before we get into the Q&A, we also chat about some recent new releases from Jack Mason and Holthinrichs. It’s been a relatively slow period for new releases as we move through the summer, but there have definitely been some gems. Let us know your favorites in the comments below.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach is joined by Andy Green and Felix Scholz, hosts of OT: The Podcast. Over the last several years, Felix and Andy have developed OT into one of the top watch podcasts out there with a series of fantastic interviews with watch industry insiders, their own great rapport and sense of humor, and an enthusiastic community of fans (be sure to check out their Discord here). The last time Felix and Andy came on the Worn & Wound podcast, they had just released their first (and so far only) collaborative watch with anOrdain, and on this episode they spend some time reflecting on that experience and teasing what might be ahead. They also discuss the unique nature of watch enthusiasm in their native Australia, the appeal of the Apple Watch, how their attitude towards press trips has changed as the years pass, and some of their favorite releases from the year so.

On the podcast this week, Zach Kazan welcomes Devin Pennypacker to discuss a topic that comes up in the real life conversations of watch enthusiasts fairly often: how do you start a collection? When you’re the watch collector in a group of non-collectors, it’s something that’s inevitably asked from time to time by those who are curious about the hobby. Starting a collection, or entering the hobby at any level, is a very different proposition in 2025 than at any other time we can remember, so Zach and Devin provide some advice based on the current state of the watch world. They discuss everything from how to find your specific niche community within the larger watch world, how to filter out all the noise from social media, and of course they offer some suggestions for specific watches and brands to look at if you’re just getting started. 

Before all of that, Zach and Devin also run through some of the notable recent releases from the last week, including a MoonSwatch that has generated no shortage of hot takes, and a Timex pulled from the archives. And stay tuned until the end of the episode for a new round of cultural recommendations. 

We’d love to hear from you about the best ways to enter the hobby in 2025. What advice would you give to someone with a burgeoning interest in watches that Zach and Devin didn’t cover?

Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode. In this episode, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders break down The Life of Chuck, the latest from Mike Flanagan, a favorite filmmaker among the Worn & Wound crew. The Life of Chuck is an adaptation of a Stephen King novella that is somewhat hard to describe. It follows the life of a single character through important stages of his life, with a story told in an extremely unconventional way, and is one of those movies that you’ll want to discuss and dissect as soon as you get out of the theater. It’s also a big left turn for Flanagan away from the horror genre, and feels like a much more personal statement. 

In this conversation, Zach and Kat break down the movie’s structure and its key themes and scenes, and also rank their top three Mike Flanagan projects. They also talk about the importance of time as its portrayed in this movie, both in the way the story is told, and through a perfectly delivered Flanagan monologue that repurposes Carl Sagan’s famous “Cosmic Calendar” principle.

This week on the podcast, Kat Shoulders is chatting with Worn & Wound contributor and photographer Liam O’Donnell. Liam and Kat go way back, and this is a really fun conversation about Liam’s start in the hobby, how he broke into working in the industry through the NYC watch community, and his own collection. There’s also, of course, plenty of photography talk, as Liam fields questions from the Worn & Community. Liam and Kat also discuss some of Liam’s recent work for Worn & Wound, including last week’s piece on Christopher Ward’s partnership with the Everton Football Club and his experience taking in an F1 weekend in Miami with IWC.

This week on the podcast, we’re returning to a favorite topic: hot takes! We asked our communities on Instagram, YouTube, and our Worn & Wound+ Slack channel to send us their spiciest takes on the watch world so we could react to them and they absolutely did not disappoint. And, of course, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders have some takes of their own. Topics covered include the Royal Oak, the very premise of the “GADA” watch, micro-adjustable clasps, Rolex wait lists, and a whole lot more. 

We had so many submissions there was no way to get through them all, so let us know in the comments what your hottest watch related take is, and we’ll add it to the list and react to it in a future episode.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Devin Pennypacker to take a deeper dive into some recent content on the blog. Namely, they’re taking a closer look at Devin’s recent review of the Breitling Top Time B31, which was an enormous and very pleasant surprise for both, as well as a closer examination of our favorite watches of the year so far. Both Zach and Devin defend their top choices, while also offering some additional favorites that did not make the final list. They also take stock of the year in general to this point, which has had a number of great releases, but doesn’t seem to have a consensus favorite to this point (which might be a good thing). 

Let us know in the comments if there’s a watch we missed in our discussion of the year’s best, and be sure to tell us your own top picks.
