The Worn & Wound Podcast

Today on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan sit down to talk about what is unquestionably one of the biggest watch releases of the year: the Tudor Pelagos FXD. What is the FXD? Well, if this were Wheel of Fortune, and you bought a few vowels, the “fixed” theme of the watch comes into focus. This iteration of the Pelagos had been the topic of much speculation in recent months as leaks began to hit social media, and the fixed lug bars, unusual bi-directional bezel, and notably thinner case profile offer something genuinely new in the Pelagos line. We walk through this watch’s unique backstory, its connection to the Marine Nationale, and the extremely niche type of diving it was designed for. 

Later in the podcast, the team talks about some other recent releases of note, including a limited edition Nomos Club 36, and the latest from Benrus. If we missed any of your favorite releases from the last few weeks, be sure to let us know what’s caught your eye in the comments below.

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, Zach Kazan, and Ed Jelley have gathered to talk about, among other things, the recently completed Grand Prix Horlogerie d’Geneve, better known as GPHG. Every year, some of the biggest names in watchmaking come together in Geneva to celebrate, well, each other. Some of the awards left us scratching our heads (it was news to us that Louis Vuitton made the best dive watch of the year), but plenty of Worn & Wound favorites took home prizes, including Grand Seiko and MB&F. As is frequently the case when the whole crew joins in on the podcast, many tangents are followed, including hot takes on Squid Game, what’s really going on with the dial on that Tadao Ando Octo Finissimo from earlier this year, and the best watches to wear when you’re in a mosh pit. The team also talks about Blake’s recent editorial on finding your lane in the world of watch collecting, and buying what speaks to you, as opposed to answering the siren song of the influencer.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking tool watches. Hot on the heels of the NATO strap kerfuffle, Zach Kazan wrote a piece that says “farewell” to the traditional tool watch, and in today’s episode we go deep into the purpose of tool watches in our lives in 2021 and beyond. Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara join in on the conversation as we try to nail down what it means to be a tool watch fan these days, and we also recap a successful Windup Watch Fair and discuss some recent new releases of note.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan are in the studio to talk about some of our favorite collaborations released so far this year. We’re hot on the heels of some very high end collaborations from the likes of Urwerk, Luca Soprana, and others, but we bring it back down to earth with some more accessible collaborations for every taste. This is a very loose discussion about some of the collaborative efforts that have caught our attention for one reason or another, and what we like (and don’t like) about collaborations in the first place.

Stay tuned through the collaboration discussion to get some additional hot takes (as if there weren’t enough in episode 208), including our thoughts on the pros and cons of watch modding, and what’s currently happening in that corner of the watch community. 

Be sure to hit us up with your favorite collaborative watches that we might have missed in the comments below or on Instagram.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking about some of your favorite unpopular opinions when it comes to watches. We asked listeners for their hottest watch takes, and man oh man did they ever deliver. From Rolex, to date placement (of course) to the very concept of watch spotting, our listeners held nothing back, and it made for some great conversation and good natured debate. Of course, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, Blake Malin, and Zach Kazan offer their own spicy takes on all things watch related, some of which are guaranteed to shock and surprise.

If you have a hot take that wasn’t discussed here be sure to let us know in the comments. We’ll definitely be diving into this topic again soon.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking to Gabe Reilly, a cofounder of Collective Horology. Collective is an application-only Silicon Valley based watch collector’s group that just released their latest collaborative watch, a limited edition version of IWC’s Pilot’s Watch Chronograph. With this release, they’re also opening up their first European collecting hub. Gabe joins Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan to discuss the finer points of collaborating with watch brands on limited releases, the inspiration behind Collective’s latest creation, and how the private collector’s group got its start. 

Be sure to let us know in the comments if you have any question for Gabe about Collective, their recent collaborations, or how you can get involved in the group.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan take a look at the  biggest and best releases from the month of September. As fall sets in and the busy holiday season approaches, new watch releases begin to heat up, and there were a bunch of notable new watches released throughout the month of September at every price point. New limited editions from Nomos and Vacheron Constantin caught our eye, as did an interesting new release from Hamilton tied to a video game, a first for the brand, and possibly the industry as a whole. We’ll talk about all that and more, plus our best guesses at the hammer price of the latest MB&F unique piece to be auctioned off later this year. Be sure to let us know in the comments what your favorite new releases from the last month were, and what you’re looking forward to for the rest of the year.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, just like Scrooge McDuck, we’re diving headfirst into gold. Zach Weiss recently penned an editorial on his growing interest in gold, and in this episode Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan join him to talk about how gold watches fit into our lives, or could, in theory, someday down the line. We wonder aloud why it is that gold watches gain in our esteem over time, and which gold watches we’d choose for ourselves if money were no object, or if commodities markets simply crashed overnight. And of course we take questions and comments from listeners on your favorite gold watches as well. Before all of that, we discuss some of the week’s big new releases, including new chronographs from Zenith and Omega.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are happy to be joined by Nicholas Manousos, Executive Director of the Horological Society of New York. The HSNY is one of the world’s oldest continuously operating horological associations in the world, and Nicholas speaks with us about the organization’s history, mission, and some new initiatives that they’ve recently launched. One of those projects that Worn & Wound readers might be particularly interested in is HSNY’s new chronometer certification process, which debuted in a recent collaboration between Habring and Massena LAB (and immediately sold out). We get the full backstory on how HSNY goes about certifying a chronometer, why it’s important, and what to expect from the program going forward. Anyone interested in the history (and future) of horology in the United States is really going to enjoy this conversation.

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Weiss are joined by James Stacey. James wears many hats: he’s a Senior Writer for Hodinkee, one half of the team that hosts The Grey Nato podcast (the other half, Jason Heaton, joined us previously), and he’s the newly minted host of Hodinkee Radio, another watch related podcast you might be familiar with. This is a really fun conversation that touches on everything from the commonly owned Seiko divers among the three podcast participants, frustrations with Rolex waitlists, and selling the entire collection to fund a grail. This was a fun one – it turns out James is just as great as a podcast guest as he is as a host.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking about some of our favorites from the recently completed Geneva Watch Days. This year’s Geneva Watch Days event marked the return of in-person watch fairs to Switzerland after a long pandemic induced hiatus, and while the scale of this trade show isn’t on par with Baselworld in its prime, there were still a lot of heavy hitters seeing the light of day for the first time. This isn’t the normal crop of brands that we cover on Worn & Wound (almost without exception, the watches at Geneva Watch Days are extremelyhigh end, and fall squarely into the high luxury category) but there’s still a lot of horologically interesting stuff coming out of the show, and some of it is undeniably beautiful and definitely worthy of discussion.

Be sure to let us know if you had any favorites from Geneva Watch Days that we missed, and what you thought of our picks, by commenting on this post or finding us on Instagram.

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are discussing some of the recent new releases that have caught our collective eye in the month of August. There’s a lot of Grand Seiko activity to discuss, including some new US exclusive limited editions at an affordable price point, and some flagship Spring Drive releases that have the watch community buzzing. There’s also the matter of a new four-way collaboration between Habring, Massena LAB, J.N. Shapiro, and the Horological Society of New York, which produced not only a beautiful and interesting watch (that sold out almost immediately) but provided a preview of the potential for great things to come from the HSNY and the independent watch community. Speaking of collaborations, the latest release from Oris and Hodinkee is discussed as well, along with our hottest possible takes on the pricing of Oris’s latest watches with their in-house caliber. 

What were your favorite releases in the month of August? Be sure to comment below or hit us up on Instagram with your picks, and let us know what you thought of the watches we talked about in this episode.

This week marks a major milestone on the Worn & Wound podcast, as we celebrate our 200th episode. That’s right, we’ve officially talked about watches into microphones 200 times (remember the early days?), and to commemorate this momentous event, we reached out to our listeners and asked them to submit questions for us to answer on the air. This time, though, we thought it would be fun to talk about anything but watches. Spoiler alert: there’s still plenty of watch talk here, but you also asked us a lot of great questions about hobbies outside of the watch world, our favorite way to brew coffee, and what’s in our everyday carry. Get to know your friendly neighborhood watch podcast hosts (200 times over) in this episode, as Zach Weiss, Blake Buettner, and Zach Kazan field your questions.

We also want to extend a sincere thank you to all of our listeners this week for sticking with us through 200 episodes of the podcast. We couldn’t do it without your support, and we look forward to the next 200.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan pick up their recent discussion on grail watches, and this time they’re joined by Zach Weiss and you, the listener, by way of questions and comments submitted through Instagram. We asked for your thoughts on the concept of the “grail watch” and our recent editorial on the subject, and you had a lot to say. In this conversation we take an even deeper dive into how the idea of a grail watch guides and informs our collecting, and we react to plenty of listener feedback. It turns out that there are a lot of ways that you can properly classify a “grail,” from hypothetical watches that may or not exist, to watches that have a particular set of specs, and, of course, all manner of vintage Rolex and rare, handcrafted, luxury watches. We also talk about how our ideas of a grail watch can change over time (and how that’s part of being an engaged collector) and the role that marketing plays (or doesn’t play) in pointing us toward a grail.

Be sure to keep the conversation going – if you have thoughts on the idea of the grail watch, be sure to let us know in the comments either right here or on Instagram.

This week on the podcast, we’re happy to be joined by Jerome Burgert, one of the founders of a brand we’ve become big fans of at Worn & Wound, Serica Watches. Serica appeared on the watch scene in 2019 with the W.W.W. watch, a tribute to classic military watches like the original “Dirty Dozen” series. They followed that up a year later with the 4512, and have just launched their first dive watch, the 5303 (reviewed recently right here by Zach Weiss). Serica is remarkable for developing a crystal clear design language in a very short period of time, and this conversation reveals how carefully considered all the small details in these watches really are. Jerome takes us through the ins and outs of launching his brand, where he hopes to see Serica go in the future, and the concept behind 5303. We also talk with him about how he transitioned from being in the watch media to making his own watches, and how that informs his perspective as a brand owner.

Today on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Blake Buettner are talking about watches that are primed for a comeback. The watch hobby, as many are well aware, is cyclical. Watches come, watches go, and watches come back, sometimes without any discernible reason. In this episode, we run through some watches and trends that we’d like to see make a return, from classic IWC sports watches, to more accessible dress watch offerings, there’s a lot on our collective wish lists. We also talk about the latest release from Brew, speculate as to the nature of the new collaboration between Hodinkee and Ressence (unknown to us at the time of recording) and reminisce about the days when a few dozen watch forum members could chart the course for a new release.

We know our listeners have thoughts on the watches, brands, and trends that they’d like to see make a comeback in the near term, so let us know in the comments or on Instagram what you’d like to see return from the past. Whether it’s a great brand that doesn’t get the attention it deserves, a specific type of watch that has fallen out of favor, or a favorite reference that you’d like to see modernized or refreshed, there’s always a lot of opportunity to reinterpret what’s come before.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan run down some of the most exciting recent releases, and tackle one of the most pressing topics for many watch collectors: grail watches. What is a grail watch, anyway? In this episode, we talk about how to define a grail, it’s importance (or lack thereof) in collecting, and the feasibility of a one (or slightly more than one) watch collection. 

What are your thoughts on grail watches? Do you have one of your own, or do you bristle at the very idea of chasing after a single watch? Be sure to let us know in the comments, and we’ll be sure to return to this topic in a future podcast.

We’ve had a string of podcasts with some great guests recently (check out the archive here if you missed anything) but today it’s just Zach Weiss, Blake Buettner, and Zach Kazan talking about new releases, recent acquisitions, and a certain controversial smartwatch featuring a popular video game plumber. We also talk about a few of the watches to be sold at the Only Watch auction later this year, including a very special watch from Baltic, and a very strange watch from F.P. Journe featuring a unique method for reading the time through a hand shaped automaton built into the dial, conceived in part by the director of Jack (really – it’s all true). There’s also the matter of a very cool new watch from an upstart brand in the Netherlands, a little preview of the upcoming Windup Watch Shop Summer Pop-Up, and, oh yeah, a new release from Tudor. Who says summers are slow in the watch industry?

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Blake Malin are joined by Hodinkee’s Ben Clymer for a wide ranging discussion reflecting on a long, shared history in the watch media landscape. Ben is the founder and Executive Chairman of Hodinkee, and in the thirteen years since he started the website, it’s grown into a leading resource for all things watches, a one-stop retail shop for new, vintage, and pre-owned watches, and a whole lot more. As Worn & Wound celebrates its tenth anniversary, it was a great time to sit down with Ben and talk about how the watch world has changed over the last decade, and how far both Worn & Wound and Hodinkee have come. This is a great conversation that you won’t want to miss if you’re a regular reader of either site.

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are once again taking your questions. When you submitted questions for our recent podcast with the Worn & Wound co-founders, we had a bunch left over that we wanted to get to. We cover some pretty big topics here, including how our collecting habits and tastes have changed, and the watches that have most impressed and surprised us over the years, and very recently. We also dig into the much discussed idea of “cost per wear” and how that can justify an expensive purchase and potentially reveal hidden value. 

We love to answer your questions on the podcast, so please keep them coming! Never hesitate to message on Instagram or email us at the address below if there’s anything you’d like us to discuss on the air. And be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for video clips of this podcast and others.

Have you ever found yourself watching a movie, and thinking to yourself that a particular character is wearing a watch that just doesn’t make any sense? Conversely, are there watches that feel perfectly cast in your favorite movies? Of course you have – it’s the cross that all us as watch fanatics must bear. Today on the podcast, we’re diving deep into watch casting, choosing the watches that we think make the most sense in some particularly iconic films, and choosing new watches for characters in movies you’ve suggested. Hear us weigh in on watches that would make sense on the wrists of Forrest Gump, the Stand by Me kids, Arnold Schwarzenegger (in multiple movies) and more. This is a fun one for movie and watch fans alike, and definitely a topic we’ll be returning to in the future, so be sure to let us know if you have characters and movies you’d like us to cast or recast from a watch nerd perspective.

This week on the podcast, Zach and Blake are joined by watch industry veteran Steve Hallock. Steve has been around the watch industry for years, working for MB&F, creating content for YouTube, and as a dealer of some of the most exotic independent watches you’ll ever see. The watches that Steve is an expert on are truly rare and unique, and even if you can’t afford or don’t aspire to own watches like these, there’s a lot of horology to appreciate, and Steve’s enthusiasm for watches is infectious. Throughout the course of this conversation, he takes us through his own story of his time in the watch industry, as well as a handful of watches pulled from his safe that are not to be missed. And since we understand the limitations of podcasting as an audio medium, be sure to check out our YouTube channel, where you can see these watches up close and personal.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, it’s a special episode with the three founders: Zach Weiss, Blake Malin, and James Helms. On the occasion of Worn & Wound’s tenth anniversary, Zach, Blake, and James sit down to reflect on where the website has been, where it’s going, and the many highs and lows along the way. They also answer questions submitted by you about topics ranging from the status of the Windup Watch Fair, what they’d do differently if they started the blog today, dream Worn & Wound collaborations, and more. This is a great conversation whether you’ve been with Worn & Wound since the beginning, or have just discovered the site, and offers a lot of insight into how the company has grown into what it is today.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re asking the age old question: what’s in a name? Not in the Shakespearean sense, but in the world of watches, what we call these things that we strap to our wrist can have an outsized impact on how we perceive them. We take Zach Weiss’s recent review of the Grand Seiko SBGE225 as the jumping off point to try to decide what, exactly, this watch is, sitting somewhere adjacent to a travel watch, a sports watch, and even a dive watch. In the end, does it really matter? Does a watch need to fit neatly into a certain genre for it to hold an appeal, or is the opposite true? 

We also talk about some of the content to appear on the site in the last week, including a new limited edition from Oris, and Blake’s review of a highly anticipated new watch from Citizen, dubbed simply “The Citizen.” This one proved to be something of a love-it or hate-it release, so let us know where you stand in the comments or on Instagram. 

Be sure to let us know how you feel watches that seem to bend genres, and what your favorite #GADA watches are, and why.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re looking back at the last week in watches, including some recent reviews of some new summer ready divers from Oris, and a big release from Tudor that we had no luck in predicting. We’re also asking some big questions, including whether or not to strike up a conversation with potential watch enthusiasts on a plane, and what beers are best positioned for a G-Shock collaboration. But our main topic this week is a focus on timekeeping, and specifically the ins and outs of METAS certification, and how important it is (or isn’t) in our daily lives. How accurate does a watch really need to be, anyway? Are you always checking time.gov or another trusted time signal to see how accurately your watch is running? There are a lot of different perspectives here, and a variety of ways to appreciate accurate timekeeping, and we touch on almost all of them. This is a good one for the chronometry nerds among us.

It’s been a busy week in the watch world, and we’re covering a lot of ground in this week’s Worn & Wound podcast to get to as much watch news as we can. First, we take you through the all new Zodiac x Worn & Wound Super Sea Wolf Limited Edition, our latest collaboration, and an LE that’s been in the works for a long time. Zach Weiss is here this week to talk about the wide ranging design influences that went into this Super Sea Wolf with a heavy 90s vibe. If sneakers and outdoor gear mean anything to you, and you have a fondness for bold colors in your watches, you’ll want to give this a listen. 

We also spend some time talking about the current state of limited editions following the release of new watches from Ming x Massena Lab as well as Kurono Tokyo. These brands took different approaches with their big releases last week, with wildly different results. We want to put the question to our listeners: what’s the right way to release a limited edition watch in 2021? 

Next, we discuss some of the watches featured in our recent guide to finding value in exotic complications. From Frederick Constant to Gorilla, there’s a world of complications out there that represent a ton of value compared to watches that cost several times as much, and it’s an interesting exercise to pick a handful and look at the highest end and entry level. If you have a favorite value oriented complication that would normally be found in a much higher priced watch, be sure to leave it in the comments. 

And finally, we take our best guesses at predicting the latest release from Tudor. Anyone who has played this particular game before knows how difficult it is (did anyone figure that a sterling silver Black Bay Fifty-Eight would be making its way to us this year?), but we didn’t let that stop us from laying out some fairly wild guesses.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Weiss, Blake Buettner, and Zach Kazan take a look at some of the most interesting new releases we’ve seen since the Watches & Wonders fair. In this new post-Baselworld era, we’re quickly learning that big trade shows won’t be the only time brands unveil new products, and both large and small watchmakers have introduced a variety of interesting pieces in the short time since Watches & Wonders closed. We thought this was as good a time as any to take stock of some of those new releases, including some cocktail inspired watches by Bell & Ross (released in collaboration with The Rake and Revolution) and a surprise new release from Ming and Massena Lab (on sale tomorrow, May 20 at 10:30am EST), only at Massena Lab’s website. There’s also (of course) a new green watch to discuss, and a follow up to one of our favorite watches from last year by Serica.

What are your favorite new releases, from Watches & Wonders and beyond? Be sure to let us know in the comments or on Instagram if we missed anything, and check out links to content we discuss in this episode in the show notes below.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, it’s Q&A time. You sent us your questions, and we’re doing our best to answer them on this episode. We spend some time talking about collecting strategy and what we want to see when we look into the watch box, what might be coming soon from Tudor, and also dive deep into the idea of celebrity marketing, at least as conceived by Georges Kern (if you want to check out the video we reference in the pod, set aside about 20 minutes and click here). 

As always, feel free to hit us up anytime if you have a question about anything pertaining to the wide world of watches, and we’ll do our best to answer during our periodic Q&A episodes. We’ll always ask for submissions on Instagram but you don’t have to wait – shoot us a message at info@wornandwound.com, or just slide into the DMs. We always enjoy hearing from you and can’t wait to tackle more questions from readers and listeners.

On this week’s Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Max Busser. Max is a longtime veteran of the watch industry, and has spent time at Harry Winston and Jaeger LeCoultre in addition to heading his own brand, MB&F. This year marks ten years of the MB&F Legacy Machine, and Max takes us through the unlikely history of these watches and his brand, and discusses many of the lessons he’s learned working in watches all these years. He also gives us a tantalizing look at the future, including the possibility of an accessible MB&F creation at some point down the road. 

While the watches Max and his team create are no doubt expensive and rare, we think that his attitude toward watches is unpretentious, refreshing, and will resonate with Worn & Wound readers. If you’re not familiar with MB&F, be sure to check out their website right here, and follow them on Instagram to see some truly spectacular horological creativity on display.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by writer, diver, podcast host, and, most recently, published novelist, Jason Heaton. Jason has been writing for Hodinkee from nearly the very beginning, and is a co-host of the Grey Nato podcast, which is definitely something you should be listening to if you’re not already subscribed. He also recently published his much anticipated first novel, Depth Charge, and we’re excited to have him on mic to talk about the journey of bringing his first novel to print. We also, of course, talk about watches, and get Jason’s thoughts on the state of the watch industry today and how it’s changed, and some of the new watches that have caught his attention. 

For more information on Depth Charge (and to order a signed copy) be sure to check out Jason’s dedicated site for his book right here. The Grey Nato archive can be found here, and you can subscribe via your podcast app of choice by searching the title.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Mitchell Wein, Vice President of Marathon Watch. Marathon is known for producing military spec watches at an affordable price point, and the brand has a fascinating history dating back over 100 years. Mitchell takes us through Marathon’s past, their rigorous testing protocols, the details behind their continued use of tritium tubes to provide luminescence to their dials, and a whole lot more. Marathon is a brand like few others, and anyone who has owned one, or has an interest in extremely technical and well built watches, will enjoy this episode.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast it’s all things Watches & Wonders, and we’re happy to be joined by watch industry veteran Reginald Brack to talk through some of last week’s big releases. Reg has worked with StockX, the NPD Group, and as a consultant within the watch industry for years, and he has a depth of knowledge that makes him a perfect guest to discuss the aftermath of the year’s biggest watch trade show. And there’s a lot to take in, from surprising releases from the likes of Rolex and Tudor (including a couple of precious metal Black Bay Fifty-Eights) to solid entries from small brands not directly connected to Watches & Wonders, but have used the week to launch new watches.

What were your favorite watches (or biggest surprises) from Watches & Wonders week? Be sure to drop your choices in the comments here, or find us on Instagram. And don’t forget to check out all of our Watches & Wonders coverage from the last week, much of which is linked in the show notes.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, we welcome Chris Grainger, the CEO of IWC. We talk to Chris about IWC’s latest tech-forward watches, take a deep dive into their unique ceratanium material, discuss the finer points of handset selection, and look forward to what IWC might have in store in the not too distant future. While we often associate IWC with their pilot’s watches, there’s a lot going on at the brand in terms of advancing new tech, and if you’re interested in interesting new watchmaking technologies, particularly as they relate to sports watches, you’ll want to give this one a listen. 

Before our interview with Chris, take a look at what we think was some pretty big news to drop a few weeks ago, and that’s a new release from Frederique Constant. The Slimline Monolithic Manufacture uses a silicon oscillator as a replacement for the balance and balance spring, which is a pretty major technological advancement that few brands have even attempted, and Frederique Constant has accomplished at a price point far below the likes of some of the Swiss luxury brands that have played in this market. We break down the new tech and give our thoughts on what this means for the brand in the first half of the podcast.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast we’re talking about the culture of collecting with Nick Engvall of Sneaker History and Elhadji Mare, a Social Content Manager for StockX. Nick and Elhadji both come from the sneaker world, and as many listeners are likely aware, there is a ton of overlap between the watch and sneaker hobbies. Both areas of enthusiasm have gone through enormous growth over the past several years, so we thought it would be fun to have Nick and Elhadji on the podcast to talk about what’s important to them as sneaker collectors and enthusiasts, what’s changed in the hobby, and what watch collectors and sneaker heads can learn from one another. It’s a great conversation that does not require any level of sneaker expertise to enjoy, so we hope you dive in whether you’re a novice or pro when it comes to footwear.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by special guest Kyle Snarr, Co-founder of Cantonment. Kyle’s been on the podcast before to chat about his brand and all things EDC, but today he joins us to take part in our semi-regular series where we look at a movie with a focus on time or with some notable watch content and dissect it from a watch enthusiast’s perspective. This week: James Cameron’s Aliens, his 1986 sequel to Ridley Scott’s classic Alien, and the second film in what would become a surprisingly durable franchise.

The watch content in Aliens is well known to many, with two classic Seikos designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro making prominent appearances. We talk about those watches in this conversation, as well as the lesser known Seiko Pulsemeter watch that also gets some screen time. And we also imagine what watch we’d choose if we were making an Alien film today, a task that’s not as simple as it sounds. 

We definitely think this podcast can be enjoyed even if you haven’t seen Aliens, but be warned that we do discuss some pretty major spoilers, so if for some reason you want to maintain the mystery a little longer on this 35 year old film, the pod should probably wait until after you’ve had a chance to see it. Once you’ve listened, be sure to let us know in the comments what your favorite movie in the Alien franchise is, and what watch from the movie you’d choose for yourself.

It’s hard to believe, but we’re just a few weeks out from Watches & Wonders, and even though this trade show has gone digital, it feels like this represents something of a return to normalcy for the watch world. After all, we’ll be getting a ton of new release announcements from major brands, and in the span of a few days we’ll have a pretty good idea of what’s to come for the rest of the year. That certainly feels very pre-Covid, but the existence of this show itself, which has become the de facto trade show of record in a post-Basel world, represents an enormous sea change in the watch industry. This week on the Worn & Wound podcast we look ahead to Watches & Wonders and offer some of our best guesses (and hopes) as to what might be unveiled very soon in Geneva. 

We also discuss the week that was in the watch world, including an impressive Kickstarter debut for Furlan Marri, and a trio of green dials that perhaps cement an emerging trend.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re discussing the watch collecting lifestyle. It’s a big and somewhat loaded topic, but we wanted to talk about perception versus reality when it comes to watch collecting, the impact of social media on the hobby, and how the visibility of watches in our culture impacts us in large and subtle ways. This week, we’re lucky to be joined by one of our favorite Instagram follows, @watchsymmetry (Thomas, if you prefer to use, you know, real names). Along the way, we answer your questions about watch collecting and the current state of the hobby.

But before that, we talk about some of the key new releases of the past week. This week happened to see a long awaited hand wound chronograph from Hamilton, and some design forward new watches from Tissot and Maurice Lacroix that have proven to be somewhat polarizing, and mesh pretty well with some of the ideas within our main topic. 

This week’s episode is brought to you by Melbourne Watch and their new Collins automatic moonphase. Melbourne Watch is a familiar face to the enthusiast watch community, especially Worn & Wound readers. Founded in 2013, Melbourne is best known for producing stylish and affordable sport and dress watches that offer great value. Melbourne is back with the Collins, a classically-styled automatic moonphase, available in limited quantities at launch. 

Powered by the Swiss-made Sellita SW-280 automatic movement, the Collins moonphase display pays homage to the Australian night sky, depicting the Southern Cross star constellation. At just $775 US, the Collins is a compelling package for anyone looking to get a mechanical complication not typically available at this price point. To learn more about the Melbourne Collins, head to melbournewatch.com.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re going deep on the barrage of recent releases from Seiko and Grand Seiko, discussing several of their new watches in depth, and answering your most pressing questions on the new releases. Last week saw the introduction of many new models, and served as a kickoff to Seiko’s big 140th anniversary. We’ve got new Alpinists, a dive watch paying tribute to a great Japanese mountaineer, and, at long last, an affordable Seiko GMT with local jumping hours in the Presage line. There’s a lot to talk about, and we frankly only scratched the surface, so if there’s a Seiko or Grand Seiko release announced recently that you particularly enjoy that we didn’t touch on, be sure to let us know in the comments.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner, Blake Malin, and Zach Kazan run down the week that was in watches, and talk about a topic that’s certainly of interest to almost anyone reading this: purchasing watches online. More than ever, many of the biggest watch manufacturers are doing what the small brands have been doing for years: selling directly to consumers. We talk about how that’s impacting the hobby, the changing landscape of buying watches online, and our own experiences buying watches in almost every way you can imagine. We also discuss the culture of the limited edition, and how a quick sell-out can help a brand or retailer in the short term, but have unintended consequences in the long run. 

And, of course, we cover all the big watch news and releases of the last week, including our own reviews of an iconic Grand Seiko, and a special Zenith chronograph.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re asking a simple question: If you could change one thing about any particular watch to make it perfect, what would it be? Even watches that we love have little quirks and imperfections that we’d love to change, and today Zach Weiss, Blake Buettner, and Zach Kazan are attacking the small details that we’d fix if we could. Odd lug widths, bracelet quibbles, and some inexplicable finishing choices are all on the table here. There might even be a date window discussion. How could there not be? 

We also talk through some of the big watch news of the last week, including a major release from Grand Seiko, and our own review of the latest watch from the recently revived Nivada Grenchen. 

Since no watch is perfect, be sure to let us know what you’d change on your favorite watches in the comments section or on Instagram.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Weiss, Blake Buettner, and Zach Kazan talk about something that’s been on all of our minds after a slew of recent releases: are all watches starting to look alike? Is it an accident? And, is it even a bad thing for new releases to resemble something from the past (or, in the case of some of the watches we talk about, the present). It’s a surprisingly thorny issue, with a whole lot of strongly held opinions (few words set off a debate in the watch world quite like “homage”). In this conversation, we touch on what brands hope to achieve when they borrow design elements from popular watches, the different ways those watches are received, and if any single watch can lay claim to owning that shiny black ceramic bezel. 

What do you think? Can a black dialed chronograph ever be completely original? Can an old brand be revived authentically? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or tag us on Instagram.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, Zach Kazan, and Ed Jelley answer your most pressing questions. Makes a micro brand? How much value should we place on a brand name? Is there a vintage watch bubble, and is it ever going to pop? These questions and more will be answered on this episode, and we also take a quick look back at some of the big January watch news that you might have missed. 

If you have questions that you’d like us to answer at the end of February, be sure to comment below or tag us on Instagram, and we’ll get to as many listener questions as we can!

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re happy to be joined by two of our favorite watch podcasters in the game, Kat and Katlen from Tenn & Two. If you aren’t familiar with Tenn & Two, that really ought to change right away, because week to week Kat and Katlen are providing insightful commentary on the state of the watch industry, interviewing interesting guests, and going in-depth on notable new releases in their detailed watch reviews. They were a lot of fun to chat with, and we hope you enjoy this conversation which not only touches on how Kat and Katlen got their start in podcasting, but some of the big news of the week, including a new Chronomaster from Zenith, and a wild new MB&F Horological Machine.

This week on the podcast, the editorial team gets inverted to talk about Tenet, the latest action epic from Christopher Nolan, a filmmaker who is uniquely obsessed with time. We’re pretty big movie fans here, and since all of us just recently saw Tenet after its long awaited home video release, we took this opportunity to sit down and unpack some of its more time-twisting aspects, including how that Hamilton BeLOWZERO factors into the plot. Honestly, we’re still a little confused, but maybe that’s just part of the process. Let us know in the comments what you thought of Tenet, and how it stacks up to other time travel movies. And remember: this whole podcast is one big temporal pincer movement. 

As an FYI to listeners, this podcast is full of spoilers for Tenet, so if you haven’t seen it yet and want to go in fresh, save the second half of this episode for after your first viewing of the film.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we take a look ahead to 2021. With the whole year ahead of us, anything is possible, and in this conversation the Worn & Wound editorial team discusses a few of the themes and trends we’re hoping to see emerge in the new year. From offbeat vintage, to brown dials, there’s a lot to look forward to. 

We also spend a considerable amount of time talking about a little watch called the Omega Speedmaster (maybe you’ve heard of it). Omega got 2021 off to a strong start with a new version of the much loved Moonwatch, and you’ll hear our initial takes (prior to seeing the watch in the metal) in this episode. We also talk a whole lot about Zenith, specifically the recently released A385 Revival, where our collections are heading, and the merits of inexpensive LCD watches. Enjoy the podcast!

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast we’ve got two special guests who are likely very familiar to longtime Worn & Round readers: Kyle Snarr of Cantonment and Bill Yao of MK II Watches. Cantonment is a new brand that launched earlier this year specializing in handy, EDC capable kerchiefs, and MK II is one of our favorite indie brands, crafting vintage inspired tool watches with strong military vibes and heritage. They’re here to talk about an exciting new collaboration between the two brands, a pair of kerchiefs that are directly inspired by some pretty great vintage watches. Tune in for a great conversation that covers Bill and Kyle’s partnership, what they carry as part of their own EDC, and why you should definitely consider making a kerchief part of your everyday carry.

On this week’s episode of the Worn & Wound podcast, we take a look back at the year that was in watches. For this end of year episode, we’re joined by special guest Eric Wind, of Wind Vintage. Eric is a vintage watch expert, who before striking out on his own with Wind Vintage served as a Vice President at Christie’s, where he oversaw many important watch sales and developed an expertise that is highly sought after in the community. You might be familiar with Eric’s work with Hodinkee in the past, and he’s also been featured in the New York Times, GQ, The Robb Report, and many other publications. We’re thrilled that he joined us for a chat about some of our collective 2020 favorites, and also to discuss some of the key watch trends that we observed this year.

We hope you enjoy this episode, and want to thank all of you for listening throughout the year. We can’t wait to bring you more podcasts in 2021!

On the podcast today, Zach Weiss and Blake Buettner are joined by watch industry veteran William Massena. William is the proprietor of Massena LAB, a studio that has partnered with some of the most interesting independent brands since its founding only two years ago, and they just released their first solo project, the Uni-Racer, an homage to a classic Universal Geneve chronograph. This is a really fun conversation that focuses on the making of the Uni-Racer, from its initial conception to production, and also turns to the very idea of homage watches, vintage reissues, the state of the watch world today, and where it’s heading in the future.
